Severe ABI/Meningitis recovery
I have a friend that was hospitalized with a severe case of bacterial meningitis over a year ago. She spent weeks in a NCCU. She survived but her recovery is very slow and outcomes are unknown, but we are not optimistic that she will ever leave her nursing home. I believe she is currently in a confused conscious plus state. I’ve gleaned multiple tid-bits from multiple episodes (sugar, gut health, brain health, working memory, etc). It’s very difficult to control her environment as she’s in a nursing home. What can you recommend I and the family do to bolster her chances of better recovery outcomes through diet, medication, brain exercise, etc, understanding that she is fed by the facility, doesn’t have a lot of interaction with people throughout the day, and has been through weeks of heavy antibiotics and was on a feeding tube for the better part of a year. Thanks in advance
sleep supplements for babies
Are there any scientific protocols for babies to help them fall asleep and stay asleep? behavioral methods and supplements. Is there any scientific data on which supplements are safe and effective for babies to promote sleep. I just finde advice on how parents can cope better with sleep deprivation, but it would be an interesting approach to start with the baby so that the parents don't even get that sleep deprived. I also wonder what scientific methods there are to make the baby cry less during the day. Thank you so much!
Could you discuss the impact of the MTHFR genetic mutation on connective tissue disorders, particularly in relation to Lipedema and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
I have a compound heterozygous (or double) MTHFR mutation and inherited connective tissue disorders, Lipedema and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome that I believe are genetically linked. I saw a leading connective tissue expert, Dr. Karen Herbst who diagnosed me and she believes that ADHD is also a core mobility and genetically linked. Both these connective tissues disorders are frequently under diagnosed or altogether misdiagnosed by healthcare professionals. Research is scant and patients like myself are often prescribed treated for something altogether different (like fibromyalgia). They are often spoken about as 'rare diseases' however in the case of Lipedema it affects 11% of the global population, most of which are women. I ended up taking my health into my own hands, diving into medical journals and understanding the lymphatic system. Through diet, treating my sluggish lymphatic system (cold/heat therapy, rebounding, MLD, supplements etc) and exercise I've reduced my Lipedema pain and managing symptoms of EDS. I wonder if you have any further research or advice you could share on this topic. Thank you Dr. Huberman for your amazing contribution to open source knowledge. Your podcast has been a life saver!
EMF Exposure and Health Issues
I just joined the premium channel, and have only been listening to Andrew Huberman for several months at this point, so he may have already covered this topic. I'm just curious about any potential harmful effects of EMF on human health. I've heard some people mention negative side effects, but I'm wondering if these claims are backed by science and studies. If there are harmful effects, how can we minimize those? Thanks!
Grass-Fed Beef
I've heard you mention in several podcast episodes that grass-fed beef is better than conventionally raised beef. Can you quickly summarize why this is? And how do you determine the quality of grass-fed beef when purchasing it at the grocery store? I just learned that the USDA’s standard for a "grass-fed" beef animal is that it be at least 50% grass-fed, even though most people interpret "grass-fed" as the animal forged on grass and other non-grain sources 100% of the time during its life. Where do you source your beef from?
