Why sjogrens pain
My friend has Sjogren’s disease (autoimmune) and she has a lot of pain when living in New York City - mostly pain in her legs, but also in her full body. It feels like she can’t move her legs, they are so heavy. When the pain is bad, she also gets fatigue and brain fog. She tries to exercise in nyc, but usually it causes so much pain that she can’t. Running one mile will cause severe pain in her legs for a week. In the winter, she snowboards every day in the Rockies and alps - over 60 days a year. You would think it would cause more pain, but apparently when she is doing this, the pain disappears. She is a good snowboarder, so it is easy for her. Do you think it’s related to the snowboarding, activating the balance system, the environment or altitude, or do you think something else contributes?
Marijuana and risk of heart attack and stroke?
Dr. Huberman, I am a 44 year old male. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with 3 vessel CAD with a calcium score of ~ 4,100, blocked 90% in my right coronary artery and 80% in my LDA. I required 4 stents and then got another stent in October of last year. Cardiologist said this was caused from familial hyperlipemia, basically I inherited some bad genetics. Luckily, this was caught before I suffered a heart attack. I use medical MJ to control my anxiety, but I heard recently there is a study that says MJ increase risk of heart attack an stroke. Can you comment on this study or have a podcast regarding this subject? Thank you,
Intermittent morning light useless?
My job makes it impossible to view morning light. Artificial light is not practical since I am unable to sit that long for the recommended period of time (piece of advice to all the folks out there: never join the food industry unless you want the worst health ever, physically and mentally.). Is there even any point in getting morning light only twice a week to help circadian rhythm? Thank you!
