Can a poor sense of direction be improved?
All my life I have struggled with finding my way around. I can get lost even in areas that are somewhat familiar to me. I can be walking down the street, go into a shop, and when I exit the shop and am back on the street, I may not immediately know which direction I had been coming from and which direction I was going. There is a moment where I feel confused and disoriented. I find this distressing and embarrassing. Could I be suffering from some kind spatial "dyslexia"? It feels like a part of my brain is missing. More importantly, is there a way I can improve my sense of direction?
Blood markers
I am a fit and healthy woman, doing restistance training 3 times a week, twice a week HIIT and managing a very healthy diet without any processed foods (16:8). My Hba1c is elevated which came as a shock to me due to my healthy lifestyle and exercise regime. Liver markers are slightly elevated as well but all other markers (Cholestorol, Trigycerides, apo b, Lpa) are all in the green range. Should I be concerned about this?
Balancing Protein Intake in Cancer: Muscle Maintenance vs. Cancer Growth Risk
Dr. Huberman, you've shared a lot of valuable insights on the importance of sufficient protein intake, particularly for maintaining muscle mass as we age, and how the quality of protein, including the role of leucine, is key for muscle health and overall quality of life. However, I’m curious about protein intake recommendations in the context of cancer. I understand that there are concerns about stimulating mTOR, which is crucial for muscle growth but might also promote cancer cell growth. Could you discuss protein intake in cancer patients, particularly for more prevalent cancers like leukemia, breast cancer, and colon cancer? How should we balance the need to maintain muscle mass while addressing the risk of potential cancer progression?
