Curing Myopia, Hyperopia. Print pushing, eye stretches

I, and am sure many of us, would love to see an episode on eye health and improving myopia and hyperopia, as it seems that the eye care industry does not want people to see better. I have been using the print pushing technique and eye stretching exercises for the last year with good results. I started with -7.5/-7.0, worked with just one eye to get to -7.0 on both. I have not taken a test since. However, I expect to have made a significant improvement, as I can now comfortably function in most daily activities (walking, running, cycling, shopping, cooking) without wearing any correction, use -3.0 prescription glasses for work, and -5.0 prescription glasses for driving. Thanks 🙏

Ultra endurance wind down for sleep protocol

Hi, this should be relevant for endurance athletes. I'm a cycle rickshaw rider in a hilly city. 2+ nights a week I work 10-12 hour shifts cycling spending most of the time in zones 1 and 2, 1-2 hours in zone 3 and 15-60min in zone 4 to max. This is between 5pm and 5am with most intense work toward the end. During this I am also highly engaged mentally - talking with people, navigating traffic, etc. Afterwards I'm often buzzing with adrenaline and struggle to wind down, especially to get into deep sleep. After a shift I limit light exposure, stretch, do wind down breathing protocols and take a hot shower - yet this is not enough :( I often find myself doing NSDR for the whole night but no actual sleep. I'm waking at 11am to light exposure, and will sleep/NSDR for a few more hours before work, rest of the week I'll get 8-10 of continuous sleep waking at 11. Is there a protocol and/or supplements (beside the sleep stack mentioned in the podcast) You could advise to accelerate the transition into restful sleep? Thanks 🙏

Studies about night light impact on children

I'm looking for studies or data about the health impacts of putting night lights in the rooms of children. I've seen some of the adult studies Dr Huberman references, but now I'm looking for research specifically about children. I'm pretty sure it's not good, but my wife thinks they are essential.

Should I remove braces or not?

I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits. I am writing to express my admiration for the valuable information you provide in your videos. Your insights have been truly enlightening and I have learned so much from watching them. I recently got braces in August 2022 and I am now faced with a decision about whether I should continue wearing them for another year or remove them. I recall that you mentioned in one of your videos that braces can have a negative impact on health and I would be honored to receive your professional opinion on this matter. Your expertise and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and the wonderful work you do.

Powerlifting and Endurance

As a powerlifter, what are reasonable protocols for endurance, long steady state, and high intensity sprints? How do I add these to my program without hindering performance? Is there any evidence that these can enhance performance?
