Exploring the Impact of Shilajit on Cognitive Function, Physical Health, and Testosterone Levels
Hi Dr. Huberman, I'm fascinated by your insights on various supplements and their impact on human health and performance. I'm particularly interested in shilajit and its potential benefits. Could you share your thoughts on how shilajit might influence cognitive function and physical health? There's some research suggesting that shilajit can boost testosterone levels alongside potential benefits for cognitive function and overall physical health. Could you share your thoughts on the validity of these claims? Also, under what conditions might you recommend the use of shilajit? Thanks for your insights!
Direction with my non -verbally autistic son
Good afternoon, Mr. Andrew. My name is Rebecca. I am a PA-C currently working in Plastic Surgery. I have a 16 year-old nonverbally autistic son. He was diagnosed at the age of 2yrs and have undergone the traditional Aba Therapy has not really been successful. Cognitively he understands everything but is unable to make words. I was wondering if there was something I was missing. In terms of testing if there’s an impairment with his vocal cords, as opposed to a, global diagnosis of autism. He does not fit the normal criteria, but I am at a loss as to what kind of testing. He has never been subjected to an intense study of his brain or his vocal cords in the past. I must admit we were given the diagnosis shortly after I was excepted into PA school and we never really questioned it. Thinking about bringing him to Stanford for a thorough neurological testing and wanted some direction as to where to go and how to approach it please. Respectfully yours, Rebecca
Adverse effects of meditation
What are possible negative outcomes of meditation and how are they primarily caused? Is there a wider range of people beyond those who may have medical conditions that should avoid meditation? People who suffer from childhood trauma, for instance? Or people with a convex continuum that you referred to in your first meditation episode? For those who have had damaging effects from meditation, were they simply meditating or were other factors involved, like fasting or drug-use? Does type or length or frequency of meditation make a difference? Meditation can be a wonderful practice, but would be valuable to learn about the possible downsides which sound potentially devastating from what I've read/listened to (from Cheetahhouse.org and Tim Ferris).
