HRV

Good morning, I have recently purchased an OURA ring and there appears to be some data regarding HRV on it. My numbers are consistently quite low (around 10 or so). I have searched your website and it appears you may have not yet done an episode including how to improve your HRV and what it actually means. Could you include this topic in a future episode or point me in the right direction for some information. Kind regards

Grounding

Do grounding mats work?

Cell Phone & Social Media Addiction

I waste hours each day scrolling on my phone, including at bedtime, during the night and first thing in the morning. What strategies can I use to kick the habit and replace it with healthier and more fulfilling pursuits?

Late Night Meals & Sleep Quality

I practice late time-restriced feeding and often eat a large dinner pretty close to bedtime (typically 1-2 hours before going to bed, but sometimes later). I like this way of eating because I'm very busy during the day and I find it easier to control my caloric intake by eating later in the day rather than earlier. That said, I know that I'm undermining my ability to sleep deeply by not giving myself much time to digest my last meal before bed. Is there any way that I can offset this to some extent so that I can sleep better?

Request for Permission to Reference Your Work on Our Website

Dear Dr. Andrew Huberman, I have been a long-time follower of your podcasts and have learned a great deal from them. Despite my background in psychology, your work and the way you present it have sparked my interest in neuroscience. This has led me to decide to pursue a master's in forensic neuropsychology next year. I want to express my gratitude for the motivation you've provided; it has significantly aided my personal, social, emotional, and cognitive development. I firmly believe that your work has the potential to positively change many lives. Hence, I am eager to increase your visibility in the Netherlands and, more importantly, to encourage people to apply the scientific research you've made available for their needs. Together with a colleague, I run a youth aid organization within a forensic framework, primarily focusing on young people within the justice system. In my treatments, I already utilize many of your protocols. While these protocols are not specifically designed for treating antisocial populations, they add effective elements to the integrative approach I employ. Given the complex multiproblematic nature of our target group, relying on a single protocol is impractical. In light of the above, I would like to request your permission to mention your name on our website, indicating that we incorporate your work and scientific insights into our guidance and treatment programs. With your approval, I will also note that this mention is made with your knowledge and consent, highlighting your willingness to share this knowledge with a broad range of target groups facing various challenges and needs. I look forward to your response, and regardless of your decision, I once again thank you for making such valuable knowledge accessible and understandable. Warm regards, Ibrahim Aarab
