Deep dive Parasites and how can they affect our life?
Talking in behave of people living in tropical and underdeveloped countries, parasites are a truly present worry we have to always watch out for. Reading some statistics, apparently parasites affect 50% of the human population at any given time (this is most probably higher for people living in the tropics). I have read about how parasites can impact sleep, hormones, mood, and much more. Medicine to kill parasites are effective and common, but also can have a considerable effect on our microbiome. This leaves me with tons of questions about how often should I use antiparasitic medicine, and how this can be an underlying massive problem that is being overlooked. Any information /deep dive you could do on this topic? I think most people are oblivious to the issues this can cause.
Daily task-management (beyond chronobiology or important vs urgent)
What are tips for choosing, prioritizing, managing, and scheduling daily tasks? NOT chronobiology (you've already talked about dividing day into 3 phases). I would also appreciate it if you could deconstruct the important versus urgent matrix (Eisenhower or Covey matrix), which is frequently promoted despite not being evidence-based and not being helpful to me. The design of this matrix assumes that the tasks (and goals) people must choose between are typically as extreme as saving someone who's drowning or spending the entire day playing video games.
Urge-surfing mindfulness + temptation exposure = no-go practice?
What are your thoughts on combining urge-surfing mindfulness meditation with intentionally/preemptively exposing yourself to a specific temptation in real life and in real time as a way to do no-go practice and increase willpower? For example, setting the box of donuts in front of you and practicing how long you can resist?
Vomiting, nausea, stomach bugs (not diarrhea), emesis
What are recommended tips for preventing and managing symptoms of vomiting, nausea, stomach bugs (not diarrhea), and emesis? Whenever I get sick this way, the pain is so bad and debilitating that I feel like my life is ending. Even if there's no magic cure, I'd like to not feel like dying or suicidal when sick with the aforementioned symptoms.
Healthy Circadian cycle for long haul pilots
Dear Dr. Huberman, As a long-haul airline pilot, I often face the challenge of managing my circadian rhythm due to irregular work hours and constant changes in time zones. This lifestyle makes it difficult to maintain a consistent sleep-wake cycle, which I understand is crucial for overall health and cognitive function. Could you provide insights or recommendations on how pilots in my situation could manage their circadian rhythms more effectively? Specifically, I am interested in any strategies that could help minimize the health impacts of irregular sleep patterns and maximize recovery during periods when stable sleep is possible. Additionally, any advice on integrating these practices with a healthy diet and exercise routine would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Mario Young
