Mentorship
Dr. Huberman, you are a mentor and a role model to all of your listeners. Can you do an episode on, or provide insight into the value of mentorship? I know you had many mentors and sources of guidance on your way up. This subject would be incredibly valuable to the next generation of scientists, and people of all walks of life. Thanks!
…being better by breathing…
Please can you explain how different breathing affects the nervous system? How does the “sigh” that you talk about work in calming the nervous system? Are there benefits to yogi breathing practices (e.g. Ujjayi Pranayama, Nadi Shodhana Pranayama)? Given the fact we can breath for “zero cost” (any time, anywhere, in any situation) it would be great to understand more about how we can leverage the breath for health and wellbeing. Thank you
Resveratrol
Hi Dr. Huberman, I saw that Dr. David Sinclair's research findings on reversing and or slowing the aging process has recently made the news. I'm interested in your thoughts about including Resveratrol as a daily "supplement" for the purposes of slowing or reversing some effects of the aging process. I noticed that it was not included or mentioned your episode on Supplements and I'm hoping you might be able to comment on adding Resveratrol to our daily protocol. Thank you very much!
Tyrosine Hydroxilase
Hi. Is there any behavioral tools or supplements you know of that increase/upregulate tyrosine hydroxilase? My understanding is this is the rate limiting step in converting tyrosine to dopamine. My thinking is upregulating tyrosine hydroxilase would lead to increased motivation, drive, focus etc through increasing the conversion of the available precursors into dopamine.
Ventilation through wearing only T-shirt and Mental Performance
Hello Andrew, I was wondering if there is any evidence supporting the idea that wearing a lot of clothing decreases mental performance and increases weariness, or that wearing clothing that allows for ventilation of the body such as T-shirt affects those metrics the other way around (and if there is such evidence I wonder if that's the reason why Elon Musk seems to always wear T-shirt at work) Thank you!
