How can we help you?
Apart from the premium subscription is there a way we could help and be involved more. It is a passion of mine and I am hoping (and in the process of) trying to move towards a career in research away from physiotherapy and know that a problem shared is a problem halved so if there is anyway we could assist would love to.
Morning Light Viewing
Could you discuss SAD lamps in more detail? Specifically I have one from AlaskaNorthernLights that puts out 10,000 lux at 24 inches that I sit in front of for 15-30 minutes every morning before the sun comes up. I can't get outside due to professional obligations in the morning.
Artificial Sweetener & Insulin levels in episode 42
In the 1:18:47 timestamp, you have mentioned and based on what Dalenberg and colleagues have found, that consumimg diet soda without food that increases blood sugar, showed a significant increase in insulin release. And you have mentioned that it is "terrible" because increase release of insulin so called insulin sensitivity is the basis of type 2 diabetes. My question is, isn't the insulin resistance the basis of type 2 diabetes? Thank you. Oliver
Cold immersion questions: air vs water, sauna, etc.
In similar vein to some fellow questions: 1) if you utilize a sauna in 20-30 F degree temperatures, is there any effect to going from the sauna directly to the cold air outside?(vs cold water immersion?) 2) when doing cold water immersion, does it make a difference what the air/ambient temperature is vs the water itself? For example, when utilizing a pool for cold water while the ambient temperatures can range from 20's-50's depending on time of day or season. 3) you have highlighted immersion in water cold enough "you want to get out but can safely stay in." I am not cold adapted and find water in 60's extremely cold! Does this suffice? Thank you.
