Confused with AMA!
I just subscribe and became a member. I specifically wanted to know what Dr. Huberman had to say about eye floaters. I searched "eye floaters" in AMA, but all I get is a bunch of other people asking questions about "eye floaters". How do I find the answers to these questions? Thank you!
Episode about effort - both mental and physical, and how we perceive it?
Hi everyone, Dr. Huberman. I'd like to ask for a full episode on a topic that fascinates me - EFFORT, both mental and physical, and how we perceive it? A couple of recent guest episodes have touched briefly on the subject of effort, but I'd like to see a comprehensive look at it. Few people I know, including myself, have trouble engaging in certain activities, let's take the example of learning a new subject or skill on your own. This requires a mental effort to start and get there. I often give up because I feel some mental friction, and even thinking about it makes me feel - oh no! Not today, please / I don't have the time/capacity/enjoyment to do it.... Why is it that some people find it much easier to engage in activities like the ones mentioned above? Do some people have a lower threshold of mental effort that allows them to engage more easily and without friction? How can one lower one's threshold of effort in order to engage more easily?
Post Clomiphene/Anastrozole Memory Loss
Dr. Huberman, I started Clomiphene and Anastrozole in the summer of '21. I almost immediately became aware of an anxiety that I had never experienced before. As time went on, I also started to notice that my ability to recollect information or retain information was dismal. Neither of these things are natural for me. I have historically had somewhat of a "photographic" memory. I didn't put together, right away, that it might be the medication and continued that course for about 6-7 months, before deciding to quit and see what happened to those symptoms. I became a much less anxious person over the course of the next month or so, but I still have what I would consider a degraded memory. I often find myself searching for words, multiple times in one conversation, forgetting/stumbling for names of people that I have known really well for significant periods of time, etc. I really hadn't put any of these things together until I saw the episode of you and Dr. Kyle Gillett. My question is, is it known whether I will regain my faculties or anything I can do or take to help the process? I have recently been looking into things like Phenylpiracetam, as it seems relatively promising in some of the studies they have done with patients with past ischemic strokes, etc. Is this compound something that you would trust? Thank you.
