Child prodigies, geniuses, "natural talents," gifted people
Why do some people develop skills at preternatural speeds or a have a certain knack for things so easily compared to others? Like Mozart writing his first symphony at age eight. (I took piano lessons starting at age five, granted I did not enjoy them, but 13 years of lessons did not make me a musician by any definition of the word, even if I enjoyed it when I was older).
Lasers, LLLT for hair loss - does this actually work?
LLLT is a modern non-surgical hair loss treatment that uses laser light to stimulate cell growth and supercharge hair follicles. It helps to combat hair loss and improve the volume and appearance of hair. The therapy is painless and has no known side effects. Does this actually work?
Request for Permission to Reference Your Work on Our Website
Dear Dr. Andrew Huberman, I have been a long-time follower of your podcasts and have learned a great deal from them. Despite my background in psychology, your work and the way you present it have sparked my interest in neuroscience. This has led me to decide to pursue a master's in forensic neuropsychology next year. I want to express my gratitude for the motivation you've provided; it has significantly aided my personal, social, emotional, and cognitive development. I firmly believe that your work has the potential to positively change many lives. Hence, I am eager to increase your visibility in the Netherlands and, more importantly, to encourage people to apply the scientific research you've made available for their needs. Together with a colleague, I run a youth aid organization within a forensic framework, primarily focusing on young people within the justice system. In my treatments, I already utilize many of your protocols. While these protocols are not specifically designed for treating antisocial populations, they add effective elements to the integrative approach I employ. Given the complex multiproblematic nature of our target group, relying on a single protocol is impractical. In light of the above, I would like to request your permission to mention your name on our website, indicating that we incorporate your work and scientific insights into our guidance and treatment programs. With your approval, I will also note that this mention is made with your knowledge and consent, highlighting your willingness to share this knowledge with a broad range of target groups facing various challenges and needs. I look forward to your response, and regardless of your decision, I once again thank you for making such valuable knowledge accessible and understandable. Warm regards, Ibrahim Aarab
Late Night Meals & Sleep Quality
I practice late time-restriced feeding and often eat a large dinner pretty close to bedtime (typically 1-2 hours before going to bed, but sometimes later). I like this way of eating because I'm very busy during the day and I find it easier to control my caloric intake by eating later in the day rather than earlier. That said, I know that I'm undermining my ability to sleep deeply by not giving myself much time to digest my last meal before bed. Is there any way that I can offset this to some extent so that I can sleep better?
