SHBG optimization
Hi! You have covered testosterone on several podcasts and touched upon SHBG and countless medical interventions to rise free T. I have a very high SHBG and therefore low free testosterone in my system. Can you please look at natural lifestyle modification ways to decrease SHBG and therefore have more T in the system? Some ways to detect the causes of high SHBG (my guess too much training in my case) would also be useful and hopefully can steer me and others away from radical testosterone therapy methods. I am a 34 yo male with very active lifestyle with high volume and intensity workouts on the bike and in the gym.
Blue LED lights at night
Thank you for all the information and protocols around sleep! Question: Do blue LED fairy lights disrupt our circadian rhythm the way a bright screen does? Context - I love blue lights at night (slight obsession with the color blue)... it creates a beautiful atmosphere. When I use a light meter app, it doesn't have many lux (1 or 2) so I am hoping that means it wont be too disruptive... but not sure how the wavelength/color impacts the circadian rhythm despite the lux/brightness. More broadly, more questions: when you talk about how light impacts our circadian rhythm, how much of that is the brightness (lux) versus the wavelength (color) and how do natural (sun) versus artificial (fairy lights, light bulbs) lights compare in that context? Does artificial red/blue/yellow lights have the same impact as natural? Or is the different between artificial and nature the intensity/brightness (lux)? Thank you for your interest in humanity Dr Huberman! Love, Ellen
Influence of colectomy on gut microbiome? Influence of colectomy on fatty acid absorption/production?
For folks who have had a total colectomy and live with an ileostomy or j pouch- how does their gut microbiome differ, if it all? Does colectomy adversely affect the production and absorption of fatty acids?
Tinnitus
Hi Dr. Huberman, I’m asking this question for a sister who suffers terribly with tinnitus. I’d like to know if you have any thoughts suggestions or areas that we can focus on in order to help relieve her symptoms what areas of research have been done on tinnitus and where people are seeing, good results. I appreciate all you do. Thank you for your help.
Best Tattoo Ink for Safe Use
Dr Huberman, I have seen recent articles stating that some tattoo ink has been found to be carcinogenic and do not put everything on the label that is truly in the ink. How accurate is this? If so, are there some safer versions of ink out there on the market? Thanks, Jack
