Cholinergic Urticaria

Dear professor Huberman, What is the best way to deal with Cholinergic Urticaria? It's not a serious condition, but it does affect life quality. I feel an itching sensation after exercising or eating hot food. The medication does not work well and has side effects.

CGM

Are continuous glucose monitors helpful for those who are not diabetic? How can wearing this device help you achieve better health including helping your sleep cycle? Can you discuss ranges that are considered healthy and whether there is data out for non-diabetic people using them as a wellness tool?

Topical Finasteride Side Effects

You’ve mentioned the potential downsides of taking oral finasteride due to the effects of lowered DHT. Do the same risks apply to topical finasteride, or is the topical formula more localized compared to the systemic effect of the oral version?

Biochemistry of Hate, Revenge

From the podcast with Lex Fridman. "people can't give up hate, it's like a drug". What's the evolutionary value of hate? What's the biochemistry of hate and revenge? In her book Between Us (it's about emotions), she refers to Inuit peoples' culture as not tolerating anger since it is actually dangerous to the integrity of the group. I'm a counsellor, and I would like to be better at helping people let go of hate and revenge. Understand some of the biology of this could be useful. Thanks for your great work. Fridman was a great podcast!

failure in tests, pain, giving up

What happens in the brain when a student, after failing tests and exams, is unable to return to study due to pain? They want to go back to study, but the body reacts with symptoms that look like anxiety. What happens? Could it be that the brain recorded failure as a negative emotional valence marking and studying became a pain trigger?
