Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Your podcast concerning food and emotions discussed the Vagus Nerve. Is utilizing vagus nerve stimulation via microcurrent as a method of calming emotions and nerves safe and effective, or undesirable outcomes possible or probable?

Sex & Physiology

Mr. Huberman speaks a lot about hormones affecting circadian rhythm, etc. What hormones get released or activated during sex? Is it different for men and women? If you have an orgasm or not? How can sex best fit into a ideal circadian rhythm setting protocol? Thank you for being the gold standard of science communication <3

Long Covid

I am experiencing long covid. I know it's still early days for peer-reviewed research on this topic, but is there anything you can share about what's been published so far, from the short-term and longer-term impact covid has/may have on our brain and nervous system, to protocols that may help people struggling with covid and long covid? Thank you!

What do you do when you live in a northern climate and the sun doesn't rise until hours after you are up? (Daylight savings question)

I live in northern Canada.... for parts of the year we see very little sunlight. How can we help our circadian rhythms/sleep if we can't get into sunlight until literally hours after we get up? (I definitely have more energy in the spring/summer/fall months - seasonal depression is definitely a thing). Also, what about time changes? I feel like our time changes always make me feel so much worse. Last fall we actually had a provincial vote on whether to abandon the time changes, but there was only the option to adopt one of the changes, not select between either. Is daylight savings better or not? If we got rid of the time change, which time should we keep (biologically speaking)?

SCAR RELEASE THERAPY

Please provide your view and studies that provide proof that this works specifically using microcurrent point stimulation (MPS). I understand you are not in the product testing business but the instrument that has been used on me is a dolphin Neurostim Scar Release. I am 67 years old and had an appendectomy at about age 4, could that horizontal scar be a cause of physical issues I experience? No serious issues just hip and leg range of motion. The promotion of this therapy seems too good to be true. Is the therapy useful as a stand alone? I am using it in conjunction with a trainer and my range is improving, but would the trainer alone work just as well. Thanks
