Lipedema - impacting of 10% women - estrogen
Dear Dr Andrew Huberman First of all I would like to thank you for your continuous service to the community providing holistic summary to each topic you discuss in your podcast! I’m wondering if there is a possibility of addressing “lipedema/lipoedema” in general and also in the context of fertility/infertility/hormonal contraceptives/egg freezing? It effects 10% of women, most of them they’re even not aware of it. The condition seems to estrogen induced. I’m pharmacist but struggling to find reliable source of information on the topic without any biases and on the other hand as I patient often get misjudged, even from people knowing me because of lack of understanding. I feel your platform and knowledge could bring more clarity and at least more empathy through upskilling people on the topic. Thank you for your time in advance! Best regards Alexandra
Implications of Minor Over-Supplementation on Biochemical Processes and Nutrient Balance in the Human Body
Hey Andrew -- Thank you for your work! I'm wondering about the biochemical implications of minor over-supplementation of nutrients, particularly in terms of its effects on the body's natural metabolic processes. To illustrate, when an individual consumes excess L-tyrosine, does the body simply eliminate the surplus, or might this lead to an imbalanced dopamine production, thereby depleting other essential molecules? Drawing a parallel from agriculture, this is akin to over-fertilizing fields, which can lead to reduced soil health and nutrient density. How can we draw from an ecosystem mindset to supplementation, probing how even slight deviations from optimal nutrient intake could influence the broader metabolic pathways and overall physiological balance? Essentially, how can we effectively steward this intricate biochemical ecosystem in our bodies? I hope that makes sense, and keep up the good work -- you're doing so much! Best, Christopher
Menopause, please!
I wager that many of us listening/watching will soon or have passed through menopause. We would benefit from an episode that focuses on specifically on menopause, what is happening with the many changes it brings, how to mitigate the more unpleasant changes, and how to make the most of it. Thank you.
Balancing Act: How Can I Equalize Uneven Muscle Strength in My Body?
I am a 32-year-old woman who has been working out intermittently for the past 2-3 years. Recently, I’ve noticed that the muscle groups on the right and left sides of my body are not equally strong. For instance, my left arm is weaker than my right. How should I approach training to correct these unbalanced muscle groups?
