Newsletters

Hi Dr. Huberman I was wondering what the difference is between the neural network newsletters and your daily blueprint? How often do either of them come out? Is there a place on your site to find past issues? I have received one neural network newsletter about breath work since I have become a member and am concerned that I am missing others.

What is What is Methylation? How does it relate to aging? Is this legit or a pseudo-science?

Getting the Most Out of Psychotherapy

How do you think about getting the most out of psychotherapy sessions? Are there general topics you explore with your therapist?

ALS and hope

My son's lacrosse coach received a cruel diagnosis of ALS this week. I don't know much about the disease but given your insightful and realistic analysis of the function of the nervous system could you offer up any ideas for treatments or supplements that might prolong or counter the disease's progress? Not many diseases have a 100% fatality rate, why is this so untreatable? This one is particularly hard as he is a relatively young man of 34 with an infant and one more on the way. Could you offer up a way to deal with this from a scientist's perspective and at least explain what is happening? Thank you in advance and I've been a consistent listener for 2 years. I've take up hot saunas and cold plunges yet find it really difficult to delay coffee for 90 minutes, I'm a work in progress 😜. Thank you again for your podcasts.

Brain's Storage Capacity Limit for Learning

Hi, say that we used the principles of effective learning and memorization, together with the foundations of longevity and brain health, assuming that we maintained a high degree of discipline and agency throughout our lifetime, how many different skills or fields could we master, how many different facts of history, or songs on an instrument could we memorize, before new information simply had to overwrite the preexisting one? Or perhaps the real limitation is not the storage space, but the practicality of having recall all those facts and skills on a regular basis to prevent their neural connections from weakening? If so, is it easier to fully recall a skill that you had mastered, say, decades ago but then left behind to learn something else, than it is for someone else to learn it from scratch, and by how much?
