How to repair the neurological damages from alcohol use prior to full brain development?
In episode #86 on Alcohol you mentioned the particularly detrimental and more permanent changes alcohol has on neural and hormone circuitry when used prior to full brain development. You mentioned that there are measures that can be taken specifically to repair these damages and that you would do a podcast on this topic. Like many of us, I am someone who embraced college drinking culture as an undergraduate and am very keen to hear this follow up. For people in their mid to late twenties, aside from the obvious measure of abstaining completely, what can we do to reverse the damage? Thank you.
Sauna post exercise to increase HGH
Is there any research to suggest that doing sauna post exercise will help increase levels of HGH to the same overall effectiveness as the 1 time a week, 2 total hours sauna protocol? If exercise increases HGH and a person is exercising 4x a week, wouldn't the ability for the body to produce the 16x increase in HGH seen in the 2 hour protocol be diminished?
Is there a correlation between late menopause and longevity?
I am a 57 year old woman and am still having a period. I know this is rare but not unheard of. I am wondering if there is any correlation to starting menopause late in life and longevity. Few other facts: I have never been pregnant and am very healthy (not on any medications but was on the birth control pill from age 20 to 54). Thanks for sharing so much science knowledge with us, Dr Huberman. If I could start over in life, I would study to be a neuroscientist. Your podcasts are the highlight of my week!!
The Effects of Climate Change on mental health and wellbeing
Dear Huberman Lab, As a social work student, I have been following your podcast and YouTube channel for a while, and I have gained valuable insights from your discussions and guests. I would like to ask a question that I hope you can address in one of your upcoming episodes. I recently heard a lecturer from Charles Sturt University Australia on how climate change affects mental health, resilience, well-being, and cognitive function and that this is another reason why climate change must be addressed Do you have any research or findings on this topic that you can share? Thank you, Karyn
