"Le French Gut" project: 100,000 faecal samples to study the link between the gut microbiota and chronic diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological diseases

Dear Prof. Huberman. Many thanks for your educational work. The "French Gut" project was recently brought to my attention. https://lefrenchgut.fr/the-french-gut-project/ National contribution to collect 100,000 faecal samples and associated nutritional and clinical data by 2027. Le French Gut is initiated by MetaGenoPolis-INRAE and supported by INRAE. AP-HP is the investigator of the project. Le French Gut aims at better understanding gut microbiota composition in healthy individuals and modelling and predicting changes in gut microbiota associated with diseases (diabetes, obesity, allergies, cancer, IBD, Parkinson, Alzheimer…) Maybe you could tell us what we could expect from this field of research in a relatively near futur ? Could we really imagine treating chronic and neurological diseases by improving gut microbiota ? TYFYIIS

Optimizing training response

What does research say about SLU-PP-332, HMB, NAD+ and other currently legal and potentially safe and impactful substances. We humans always look for "cheat codes" to get ahead faster. What may be worth trying out, and what are the known risks?

How I changed the Nueroplasticity of my brain.

I would prefer if this was not posted, but rather forwarded to Dr. Huberman. I figured out how to fix my binocular problem, Amblyopia or my Lazy Eye to be precise. I am a mechanical engineer, and over the last 4 years, I used a first person systems engineering approach to figure out the answer to the problem; I did this with very little intervention from conventional academic thinking and I worked on it from my office at home. Everything that I learned I got from Youtube, Google, you, and from visiting many different doctors for eye exams. I could not see very much out of my right eye and most of my life was from the view of my left eye. To use more technical words, I resolved the contralateral organization for the information coming from my right eye and taught my brain how to interpret it so now my right eye participates in my spatial vision. I can repeat this process and fix your spatial vision. I can do it in a month if you don’t have any vertical or torsional problems, if you do it will take a little longer. The process is completely nonintrusive and painless. I am writing a book called “How I Learned to See”. If you chose to write a paper about it, I think it will win the Nobel Prize. I chose you for the obvious reasons you have a PhD in Neuroscience and Ophthalmology, but if there was a reason, it is because your life is about helping people. This is who I am and if you asked anyone that knows me, they would say the same. It would be great to talk to someone that understands all of this too.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick on magnesium threonate

I'm taking Mg-threonate based on your recommendation. Dr. Patrick had a youtube video on Mg-threonate that said it was poor at increasing Mg levels. If one needs to boost Mg levels should one take two separate Mg supplements? Thanks. Love all that you do to educate us. Am a urologist who am learning more now than I did in medical school.

Through glass and black out shades

I am confused by information on your sight. Your sight says - "Contacts and eyeglasses (even those with UV protection) are fine to wear when viewing morning sunlight. However, don’t use sunglasses or blue blockers during morning sunlight-viewing — you won’t get the maximum effects from the morning sunlight.... Note: trying to do all this through a windshield or window won’t work; too many of the relevant wavelengths are filtered out." Will light through your apartment window help you wake up? Do you want shades to go up before you walk up even if your window is closed? I have a 15 year old who insist you are saying that the light won't help if the windows are closed. Are you saying turning lights on better than natural light through a window?
