How to focus on Third-Eye Centre?
You mentioned in the meditation podcast to focus on the are right behind our forehead, but can you elaborate how can we focus our visual attentional spotlight to an area which we can't see? Also does this practice have any additional benefits compared to just focus on breathing, gut and other internal sensations while doing an interoceptive meditation?
Nettle Tea and Health Benefits of Herbal Teas
Can you do an episode on the health benefits of Nettle tea and other very beneficial herbal teas such as Yerba mate? I’ve read that drinking too much Yerba Mate tea can increase your chances of throat cancer. Seems to me based on what I’ve read that it’s because generally people are drinking it really hot. I on the other hand drink it cooled down. Do you think I am on the clear? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Reversing Macular Degeneration
Dear Professor Huberman, dear Huberman Lab support team, My father in law is suffering from Macular Degeneration - he first had the untreatable one and it changed into the treatable one (from dry to wet). Nevertheless the treatment isn't helping and he is slowly but certainly going blind. Even though he is 85, he has been very active all his life, even regularly being top of his age group in fitness evaluations. Going blind has incredibly reduced his autonomous range, and he is losing both fitness and quality of life. As a complication he has colitis ulcerosa (treatment is corticosteroids, fairly high dosage). But mostly my question would be: - any known protocol to slow or reverse macular degeneration? Thank you in advance. Best, Harry
Slow Carb Diet
I’m currently doing Tim Farris’ slow carb diet for the third time and it is really effective at weight and fat loss. There is no scientific research about how healthy this diet is long term that I am aware of and was curious if there’s any long term negative effects? I’v heard that the blood sugar spike on cheats days are good but I have a hard time believing this. Do you have any insights?
