Stuck in Cell Danger Response

I would love for you to do an episode on this, especially now that mitochondrial function has been touched on in a few episodes. Maybe even interview Naviaux to explore this topic? How does it affect the microbiome, inflammation, brain function, mood, metabolism and energy, stress responses/ANS, etc, etc, etc? What can someone do if they are stuck in a cell danger response? Are there protocols to get unstuck? What about individuals who work in constant high stress jobs?

Stellate Ganglion Block for PTSD

I’m curious to know why the Stellate Ganglion Block procedure works for PTSD, and if it something that could “cure” PTSD with multiple treatments, or if it is just a tool to temporarily manage symptoms. I am also curious if there is a difference in its effectiveness between males and females. As a female veteran I have received this treatment myself and have experienced its effect but notice its effects are not permanent - why is that? Is it akin to anethestic?

Post menopausal woman’s best protocol

What is the best exercise, diet and supplement protocol for a post menopausal woman to follow?

Napping on morning commute

Are there any implications from napping on my morning commute? If I wake up at 4.30am, workout from 5-6am and then take a nap at 7am for around 30-45 minutes on the train to work - how is this likely to affect my cognitive function/alertness/circadian rhythm/sleep that night? In the new year I’m going to have to start using public transport to commute to work and I’m interested to know if napping this way could be detrimental to those things, or any other aspects that I haven’t mentioned.

NSDR versus actual sleep when underslept

I’ve heard you mention the benefits of a short NSDR bout for when you wake up and don’t feel rested. Is it better to do this than simply fall back asleep for say 30 minutes? As a wider question, is ‘snoozing’ harmful in general?
