Potassium and Kidney failure

In CKD at a late stage potassium levels start to rise. Is Resveratrol helpful or can it increase potassium levels in the blood?

peptides

I've heard you talk on sermorelin and bpc 157. Could you talk more on peptides in general and maybe why bpc157 isn't more popular. My 55 year old mom just had a minor surgery, why wouldn't she get bpc157 to speed up the healing process? Is it just a cost thing? When I heard you speak on sermorelin I didn't really hear a drawback other than needing a prescription and possible speeding up tumor growth(but not likelihood of developing a tumor, right?) I understand you're taking it 3-5 days a week. TRT seems to be going pretty mainstream, is this even lower risk/downside and do you expect it to go even more mainstream? Any other peptides to think about or look out for?

Resistance training for teenagers / pre-teens

At what age is it safe to start strength / resistance training? I'd always read that one should not lift weights until mid to late teens given potential risk to bones and growth plates. Is that still the standard? If safe, what type of program is recommended beyond resistance bands?

Active and Passive Learning

Hi Andrew, you've mentioned before about the fact we can multitask and I was curious on the research on combining active and passive learning. For example I watch your lectures and I often do repetition drawing just practicing my curves, lines and basic shapes. I have found that I remember the lecture information very well from this approach but I was curious if there was any benefit on the passive front. That perhaps we can improve our motor skills whilst using our cognitive skills if we separate the two into active and passive focus.

SSRIs and Endurance Performance

Hi Dr. Huberman! How SSRIs (and other types of antidepressants) impact endurance performance? Does it have a negative effect on our ability to perform during a training/race? Thanks a lot for the work you're doing!
