Should we supplement to support nitric oxide?
I've been hearing that NO is actually harmful to humans and we should not look for beet or amino acid supplement. I'm also reading that methylene blue can counteract the damage done by nitric oxide. I have slightly elevated blood pressure such as 130/90. I was told that NO helps lower blood pressure thus add supplements that increase NO. Now I'm hearing the opposite. Please explain NO and Methylene Blue in this context.
Is fasting truly good for you #2 ?
Hi, i have leukemia and from an anecdotal point it seems that in this population restricting the window for eating (almost all I know who are long term survivors gained a lot of weight) leeds to a cellular senescence in those cell harbouring the mutation making them unresponsive to therapy(nature paper) and this is in line with the biology of nk cells that are highly sensitive lo lower glucose levels( possible hyperglycemia as a therapeutic approach- cml and aml cells rely more on lipids as a source od energy combining with and antidiabetic that targets other cellular pathwayd like the wnt or ppar-g). For me this paper is just one in line that paints the broader picture of making accessible nutrients to your immunity throughout the day to make them more robust in surveillance and keeping the disease in remission.

Weather related pain
Hello Dr. Huberman! During storms I experience severe joint pain. So much so I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning. It also puts a darkness on my mood. As soon as the sun comes out the next day or so I feel my old self and the pain has subsided. In fact I can’t wait to get outside and into the sun. Is there anything that could help me to push through these times. Thank you Dr.
Sleep issue no doctor can helped me with
I’ve been to both a psychiatrist and a neurologist for this issue, and they are unsure of the cause have been unable to help me. Just as I am about to drift asleep, my mind jolts me awake, this is sometimes but not always accompanied by jolting of my limbs. This increases my heart rate and prevents me from going to sleep. This is not an every night occurrence but every other night. This results are taking multiple hours to fall asleep, and getting only five hours of sleep every other night. When this doesn’t happen, I am able to sleep 7 to 8 hours without issues. This is resulted in poor quality sleep. I have gone on reddit and found others that experience the same thing and are equally lost. Some mention this happens when coming off of SSRI’s or illicit substances, such as stopping heavy cannabis use. Dr Huberman and Dr. Walker. Please help me with this as I’ve exhausted my resources, and found nothing. All that has happened as I have been charged extensively by doctors only to walk away with no improvement of my symptoms.
