Rewiring neural circuitry protocol
I understand the importance of sleep, exercise, and nutrition in helping my brain rewire its pleasure pathways but I am wondering if there is a specific protocol (along the lines of your health and fitness protocols) that would be the most efficient method for rewiring its circuitry? Specifically, I am in the process of disrupting old dopamine pathways and laying the groundwork for new pleasure/reward pathways. I'm curious if there is a way to synthesize succinctly the vast amount of information on your podcasts (and from the experts featured) into an actionable "brain reset" protocol. One last aspect to this question--would this protocol change depending on age (ie., what level of plasticity can be achieved post-40 yo).? Thank you for considering this and thank you for all that you do to bring science to interested laypeople!
Drop in Cortisol Midday
Cortisol levels drop throughout the day and perhaps goes low midday. And let’s assume most of the population is still in their desk working through waiting for the working hour to end at 5/6. So, what I’m asking is how do we perhaps induce a small spike for the cortisol to make sure we don’t get lazy/unproductive towards the second half of our working hour.
Knees Over Toes Exercises
Hey Dr. Huberman, I'd love to hear you talk about how one is able to incorporate Knees Over Toes exercises into their overall workout plan. Should these exercises replace all other leg exercises or do they work better as a supplement to current leg workouts? Thanks, Spencer
