(L)-glutamine before bed

Hi, dr. H! Listening your podcasts, I learn that not eating at least 2 hours before sleep will help HGH release. I read that taking l-glutamine before bed will help HGH, too. But also that l-glutamine makes insuline spike, and this somehow seems opposite to the "go to bed fasted". Can you enlighten me, because I'm obviously missing a piece of the puzzle? Thanks in advance!

Accessing recovery ability

You’ve said you have a poorer athletic recovery ability than others, how did you come to know that? Any specific markers? How can we access our own recovery ability and how can we maximise it?

Suicide and neuro reset therapy

Have you ever had a functional neurologist as a guest on your podcast? I am 2 hours into your podcast with Jock Willink and felt led to ask this… the subject of suicide hits home in a deep way. I ask this because I myself am nearly 7 years removed/recovering from an abusive marriage to an active duty combat medic.. nothing was ever reported because I was always doctored up by my abuser. A few years back, I began to greatly suffer mentally and physically. I was eventually directed to a functional neurologist. After what seemed to be endless testing, I was told that I had too many untreated concussions. I did months of neuro reset therapy intensives. I still take various supplements such as Dopatone, Acetyl CH, and Serotone by Apex Energetics just to name a few. I ask this because I also reached a place where I nearly took my own life. Had it not been for the instrumental work and dedication of this functional neurologist, his team, my faith and I must add… your podcast and protocols. I have no doubt that I would not by sending this inquiry today. They said that my brain was stuck in fight or flight, that it was essentially tapping out as it had ran as long and hard as it could. There were certainly circumstances that they felt exacerbated the condition. Needless to say, I was less than joy to be around on a regular basis. I hope this isn’t too personal but there are many out there who need help. I count myself blessed and fortunate to have had such and work towards healing every single day. Thank you for your commitment to better the lives of many.

L-theanine and libido

Hi Doctor Huberman, My brother and I have been taking L-theanine for a few months and we’ve both noticed a substantial boost in libido and sexual performance. Is this a documented side effect?
