?Question about your book: all podcasts protocols will be given with the scientific jargon and biology based logical explanations right? Is it a combination of every single episode? Are there going to be any diagramatic representations(just curious would love to have them thou). And if you could release them at the earliest as I am dying to read it. And one more question you have such esteemed guests that themselves write books that contain protocols will those be included??
Please have a guest talk about fungus and how it affects health and the research into it. It effects metabolism and skin and even mental health. It is a rich field!
Old woman here. Gravity & sun does change skin over time. But the biggest skin changer is repeat losing & gaining weight over time. Skin will not bounce back as you get older & loose skin will not go away. So be aware that maintaining your weight & stopping drastic fluctuations throughout your lifetime will go a long way in keeping your skin looking good as you age.
Good skin : 1. limit sun exposure to specific times of day. 2. Get Vitamin C. 3. Good Sweat via physical exercise. (Sex counts as well 😅) 4. Hydrate 5. Sleep 6. Have good metabolism
and dont eat vegetables or other food with toxins - they arent harmful becvause ur body gets them out but thanks to that u have pimples etc. Also for vitamins u simply have to eat liver
Eat a lot of steak, stay healthy stay away from vegetables oils, fructose corn and process food. Start doing the job of selecting better food for you health matters.
Tips for Good Skin Health: 1. Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight during peak hours to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. 2. Get Vitamin C: Incorporate Vitamin C into your diet or skincare routine to promote collagen production and skin repair. 3. Good Sweat: Engage in physical exercise regularly to help detoxify your skin through sweating. Remember, sex counts as exercise too! 4. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins. 5. Sleep: Ensure you get enough quality sleep, as it is crucial for skin repair and overall health. 6. Good Metabolism: Maintain a healthy metabolism through a balanced diet and regular exercise, as it impacts skin health. Much Obliger Sir Dr;Andrew
A podcast on eye health and whether we can reverse our vision to somewhere near 20/20 for people with near sightedness...would be a life saver...please consider
Optometry student here. Unfortunately it is not possible to reverse myopia naturally, however there are some things you can do to slow down the progression of myopia. Getting a couple hours of blue light exposure from the sun (not screens) every day will significantly slow the progression of myopia, though this is most effective in children. Nevertheless it is still effective for young adults (18-25) but to a lesser degree. Keep in mind that at this age your eyes will begin to stabilise anyway and thus myopia progression will also slow down. Regardless, it is never a bad idea to maintain good visual habits for eye health.
Castor Oil will definitely improve your eyesight and dry eyes. You only need to put a few drops in eyes before bed and you will notice the difference in your sight in a matter of a couple of days.
I’ve been following Dr. Dray for years. I’m delighted she has been mentioned in the episode. Her work and dedication is incredible throughout the years. Can’t recommend her enough!
@umchileanywaysso intermittent fasting! Look it up and all the benefits ❤🙏🏾 I have more energy than in years AND bloating gone AND gut is finally okay 😊💕
Good for you! I've been sober for 34 years and am so happy to be free of it. Stick with it and one day at a time, just say "I'm not gonna drink today". You CAN do it!
You're really good at not using filler words like "um". I also think it's really cool that your setup is a black background, black button up, black watch, etc, so that people can focus on the content, and not the various setting decor, outfits, etc. that other content creators have. Subtle but all of these little things combined really make you stand out, in addition to the fluency you have around the topics.
As an esthetician, I LOVE THIS! It is so important to have somewhat of an understanding of your skin in order to take care of it. Thank you for supplying information of all kinds for free. You are an amazing person ❤
How do you speak for two hours and not mess up or like, go off topic? That is truly astounding. I mean, I suppose your use to speaking because you’re an actual professor but shoot, that is not easy! Impressive
We need more people telling us truth like Andew Huberman. This is also what I read in book called The 21 Former Doctor Secrets Rachel Morgan. You can see real secrets behind modern industry...
Taking care of yourself takes a lot of effort. Just understanding how dental hygiene or lack of and how it can affect your entire body is amazing. Taking care of your teeth, your skin, your diet, exercise, sleep, mind (as with meditation) relationships... so many people are not even taking care of one of those components let alone all of them. When I was younger I drank too much alcohol, after quitting I used food as a crutch and gain a lot of weight. The saving grace is I was armed with knowledge and always exercised. Now I'm 60 I'm finally taking all the health components serious. I'm blessed with knowledge.
also, people forget that consistency plays a major role throughout the journey of improving skin and appearance. stay consistent gentlemen, you will definitely get satisfactory results out of it!
This. Consistency and time. It takes about 21 days for the skin cells in shallow layers to fully turn over, 120 days for deeper cells. Active ingredients intended to work in the layers of the skin to stimulate collagen, etc. take that long to produce noticeable results. Many people chuck new products after a few days because they haven’t noticed anything. Take it from a 30-something lady with a diligent skincare routine that has worked wonders: keep it simple, be consistent and be patient.
Andrew - Since you said on the last podcast that you read all of your TH-cam comments, I figured I'd put this here. I absolutely LOVE your podcast - I always find the time to listen to your episodes and the information you share is literally game changing for me. I am very into and focused on my health - and I still don't know where I would have learned all of this amazing information if it didn't come from you. I know really know the importance of sleep in terms of my holistic health, I'm focused more on protein than I ever was before, I am more knowledge about peri/menipause that I just wasn't learning elsewhere. I just want you to know the impact you are making and how this is literally been completely life changing for me. I"m so thankful for your purpose, your knowledge, your communication style and your brilliance! Thank you.
Yup, avoid stress is number one right there. Number 2 is tea tree oil and I can't believe it wasn't mentioned here. Former model recommended it to me as aftershave and I haven't ever used anything else since. Thank me later.
@@stuartj.wright1579I have a problem with AG1; however, people who can afford $1,000 a year for an expensive multi vitamin buy it. I buy veggies instead. Andrew uses the income for researches.
Great podcast! I've been taking hydrolysed collagen for 5 years and my skin is amazing. I initially used it for my joint pain caused my menopause, but my skin, nails and hair benefited from it in a great way. I was so impressed I turned it into a business and my clients are living proof about the gains of hydrolysed collagen I also cut out processed foods, don't drink alcohol or any fizzy drinks and fruit juice unless I'm squeezing it myself. My skin is taught, hydrated and youthful at 52. I have no wrinkles except for frown lines.
@@joelallen819 I loop his videos for the white noise effect after I watched an entire episode. Just think of the genius I'm becoming via "osmosis" while my puppy and I sleep 🤓😉
@@binauralfortuneFor your culture, to my knowledge Jericho dates back at least to the Bible. It's mentionned in it as being a city, known for the story of the Trumpets of Jericho.
I’m a beekeeper I prefer using clothing even in the hot climate of Florida. I stopped sunning 20 years ago. In my 50’s I like my skin better when I stay out of the sun and use red light and IPL for clear skin. After listening to your podcast I did decide to expose myself to early morning sun and sunset without sunglasses.
If u can make bone broth (i love using chuck beef bones) it’s the most natural Wholefoods sauce of collagen that you can get your body can consume it a lot better than a powder collagen and please stay away from vegan collagens. They are a gimmick they are a lie they don’t exist. Vegan collagen isn’t real.
Since my teens I have rosacea and acne. To me what worked (just in the last year, I'm 41) was to avoid 100% ultra procesed foods, sugar and dairy. And also to have a good skin care routine; the key to avoid the cystics that I frecuently had was to use a cleanser with Salicylic Acid (day and night). I hope this will help someone. Thank you for doing this episode!
Have you tried the product Procesea? I had a very weird skin eruption dream about with the original covid strain and it got rid of the redness and the bumps.
I also used to use BHA twice a week and it helped my skin so much for all papules etc. At the moment I am trying to renew the skin from inside out with differin (adapalene) and it is promising. I don't think I will totally ditch BHA but I can use less frequently.
I must use salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide twice a day everyday or else I have a problem. Generally i use one in wash form and the other in leave on form. I worked up to this frequency of course. I wish i could just relax and do nothing but, i cant. My diet isnt great, or the worse but I def should work on that.
I swear three days ago I was buying a mosturizer for the first time in my life and was thinking : *"Why isn't there already a Huberman Lab Podcast about Skin Health ?!"* I love that podcast team ! Thank you for sharing to us all that are, evidently, intrested in science ! ❤️
Why? Because he's a neuroscientist, not a dermatologist! Oh, neuroscience AND dermatology? How dynamic. (Meanwhile, loads of neuroscience topics not covered by the podcast)
My favourite moisturizer is Vaseline brand Advanced Repair unscented. Best applied gratuitously before you sleep. I recommend Bio oil a lot too, and olive oil mixed with white sugar as an exfoliating scrub after you wash.
@@stuartj.wright1579 The why in the way your phrasing it is irelevant. Seeing that this podcast aims to be a generalist podcast about health, not neurology ; Even though it is/or was is first and principal axis as the host is specialised in said science. Also, the way you phrased your comment is rude and seems to show you were uneasy and emotionnaly unstable when you wrote it. Get better at communicating sanely with people, you're rude, respect what your mother supposedly taugh you and apply it. Not a pleasure speaking with you.
How are we so lucky to have someone like you sharing all your scientific knowledge and distill it down to all of us for a happier healthier life… Many thanks Andrew
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
My dad had a mole on his toe, went for biopsy in 2013 and turned out to be melanoma… followed by toe amputation and removal of his lymph nodes and then he passed away in 2015..I read that dark skinned have lesser risk of melanoma! (1: 100,000) . Skin cancer is harsh 😢
Listened to this one on my commute - as a woman in her mid-30s, I've been using a retinol product (OTC) in some form or another for a few years, and truly saw a huge difference in my pore size and in hormonal acne breakouts. I am also waffling about types of sunscreen and am now convinced to go back to a mineral sunscreen, so thank you! Also had no idea that supplementing niacinamide had a similar effect as the topical application.
I haven’t even watched yet but I know my favorite derm Dr.Dray comes up on this episode. She absolutely rocks and glad to see her being mentioned here.
Loving this episodes! I enjoy the solo episodes more. The uninterrupted delivery of information allows for a deeper dive into topics without the detours that sometimes dilute the focus.
Thank you for the great videos. I’m 49 years old and just start organizing my life for the second part of life. I feel like it’s going take few months to study most of the videos one by one. It’s worth it , I already have lots of realizations and good changes in life. Thanks again.
Your thorough research and very clear explanations are much appreciated! I just listened to the last part while getting in my low solar angle sunlight, AG1 with a scoop of collagen, and my protein shake. I know it sounds dramatic, and you hear it often, but you have made a huge impact on my health as a 37-year-old mother. Have a fabulous day!
I have been doing 2 things since 2023: 1-Eating POMEGRANATE daily 2-No junk/sugar/refined carbs /processed foods to reduce inflammation. I have benefitted a lot.
At 71 years old and post stroke ( 2 years ago) I am so fascinated by the topics you cover. I am very concerned by my appearance and the physiology of aging are very important to me. This podcast helped me pinpoint where I’m doing great in my journey and where I need to do more work and research!!! I love the scientific basis of information you share since I use that plus my own experiences to dictate which changes I choose to implement.
As you advocate for AG1 and as this is a growing topic: I'd like an analysis of these whole food sourced green powders Vs multivitamins Vs eating whole foods
I’ve been a professional model for the past 27 years, and absolutely nothing makes skin look as good as proper hydration!! I don’t do neurotoxins or fillers, just good old fashioned hydration & sleep. For the past few years I’ve upped my hydration game & my skin has gotten more plump: 1 scoop of hydrolyzed collagen, 2 scoops electrolytes & 1 oz liquid hyaluronic acid in 1 liter of water & I drink that over the morning. Then have 2 more liters of mineral water over the remainder of the day. My skincare is simple, I don’t use fancy products anymore, a gentle cleanser & smear on an oil (coconut, olive, avocado, castor, even lard or tallow) in PM. AM don’t wash just apply 11% zinc sunscreen an hour or so after getting up
Personal experience Re Full Fat Dairy and Acne. Have had moderate to severe acne entire adult life. As an experiment I gave up all Dairy products I loved: eggs milk butter cheeses ( all organic and full fat) 2 weeks into this ‘cold-turkey’ experiment, the acne on my face lessened. One month on, the acne was significantly decreased. Three months on no dairy, I became a changed person with beautiful skin and restored confidence. Do I ever get a pimple ? Yes - indulging in chocolate may induce a small pimple or two. Since giving up dairy and restoring my skin to blemish free I have no urges or appetite for it! I continue to refine my intake of foods to Whole Food Plant Based and am experiencing a happiness that comes from making good choices.
@@plavaovcicaactually dairy coming from cows it's high on casein A1 that in some people it's pro inflammatory, dairy products high on lactose make a response on IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor) that increase the production of sebum/oil and can clog our pores
I experienced that too when I moved to a whole food plant based diet 5 years ago, I still get a pimple here and there closer to my cycle or when I wear a face mask for a long period in the dental office.
I’ve been a practicing medical/holistic aesthetician for 20 years and I’m still obsessed! There are always new techniques/devices/tools/product advancements/treatments. Continue learning and you will have a long rewarding career. Best of luck!
As a 28 y.o. man who just recently got into skincare this is impecable timing. Thank you Andrew for helping so many people towards quality and longevity life
Another great topic and well researched and presented - thank you 🙏🏼 Just a couple of things that might need some further discussion - niacinamide can actually cause facial flushing so the better option for those with rosacea or menopausal symptoms is nicotinamide - very well tolerated for all and benefits extend beyond the skin (it increases serum NAD and NMN levels.which can have systemic benefits). Re collagen peptides - peptide length in the formulation appear to be key determinants of benefits - mainly through the beneficial effect of glycine and proline on gut enterocytes and gut wall integrity (and the gut-skin axis) rather than the absorption and delivery of collagen peptides to the skin, which is still very questionable.. BUT collagen powders are high in histamine and many are high in heavy metals and other harmful compounds so they should be avoided in anyone histamine intolerance or any inflammatory condition (autoimmune, allergic or basic inflammatory process - eg obesity, menopause). And when taking 15g of collagen peptides for long periods of time collagen peptides disrupt amino acid balance and neurotransmitter synthesis and have now been linked to depression/mood disorders. It makes sense because we need 9 essentials amino acids in certain proportions in our diet (to ensure rate-limiting synthesis pathways are managed well) whereas collagen contains mainly glycine, proline and hydroxyproline - so if you're taking 15-20g a day it's going to disrupt amino acid balance. It's very possible that any skin benefits found in these industry-funded studies are due to the addition of vitamin C, nicotinamide or zinc rather than the collagen peptides. The data really isn't convincing.
I m 41 pcod, suffered severe cystic acne. Changed my lifestyle, i eat high protein diet, take whey isolate, resistance training. No sugar, little dairy as i love drinking my tea. Use mild cleanser, non camedogenic cream, tretinoin cream at night followed by moisturizer, sunscreen during the day. And yes, i could curb my acne upto 98%. I do get some before periods for which i tke low dose of aldactone 5 mg 10 days prior to my period start date. Yes u will have to work inside our for acne issues.
My stance on sunscreen is I use titanium oxide daily because it doesn’t enter the blood stream. I use it to keep my skin healthy and prevent sun damage. I try to use sun hats when the sun is bright or if I know I’m going to be outside all day. It helps with my skin but it also really helps keep me cool.
Thank you for this podcast, Andrew! I've read about some studies that indicated that taking topical retinols like Retin A or tretinoin were associated with premature death. I think these were determined to be unfounded. However, I've also heard that retinols could compromise long term skin health down the road and even make skin age faster later in life. I'd like to hear your take on this since retinols are currently the gold standard for wrinkles and acne.
I came here to ask this same question. If an additional episode is done with an expert guest I would like to have them tackle this topic. There seems to be movement away from retinol in favour of bakuchiol as it is less damaging to the skin in the long term but with similar results to retinol.
She has bad talked Huberman at least two times on her Instagram for what she believes is false info about sunscreen. I would be curious to hear this conversation as well. I actually unfollwed her for this reason. It was really off putting the way she went about it. Good for you Huberman for reaching out. It will be ironic if she does not reply after her criticisms she publicly claimed.
@@hubermanlabThis is one of the reasons I have so much respect for you. You are willing to reach out to those with varying opinions. I’m disappointed she didn’t respond.
I disagree with Huberman valuing mineral sunscreen over chemical like Lab Muffin. We are in Australia and we have access to different chemicals for our products. Also, we have broad spectrum sunscreens available that protects against the UVB rays which are not the burning rays that Huberman was talking about. But personally, there is no rating on our suncream for UVB protection, so I chosen to use suncream with Pa rating from Korea for my family. As we live under a big hole in our ozone layer sun protection is very important in Australia. Saying U don't have to wear sunscreen in the sun because your skin has some pigment would be laughable here. Very pigmented people get skin cancer here. I know Huberman has the caveat that it depends on the individual's situation. Titanium dioxide is extremely irritating and makes my skin bleed. Zinc stick goes on top of water resistant 50+ Pa +++ sunscreen as recommended by my dermatologist. Anyway I think Huberman and Lab Muffin could have an interesting discussion as I think their differences are cultural and situational.
You're amazing keep it up amigo I don't think literally Anyone else is improving the world as much as you and that's not me brown-nosing, I see that you've impacted my life so much for the better and I'm sure you've improved SO MANY MORE PEOPLE'S LIVES 🤙🏽
As someone with severe eczema my whole life I noticed that when I got depressed and started taking less showers, my skin strangely got better. I think taking a hot shower everyday and using soap on my skin was doing a lot of damage to it.
Yes! The chlorinated water is horrible for our skin. I only bathe once a week and I put a 1/4 tsp of citric acid in the water to declorinate it. Skin is super soft. Over bathing can be a huge stressor.
I’ve had cystic hormonal acne for 15 years since I first started puberty and it wasn’t until I started taking dim and calcium d-glucarate and used niacinimide, vitamin c and hyaluronic acid daily on my face my acne is basically non existent. Finally!
I wish you had a derm expert on bc I think some of the info you presented wasn’t as accurate as what I have heard from dermatologists on TH-cam. I think it would have enriched your presentation. For sunscreen, many people are turning to Korean, Japanese, and European chemicals sunscreens that use newer sun filters that are newer, safer, and more effective. But I do appreciate your presentation overall and I can tell that you did your research.
@@victoriamacgregor9280Tinosorb S aka Bemotrizinol aka bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine aka BEMT is the safe ingredient found in the Asian sunscreens. Dr. Brad Stansfield goes over the research on his TH-cam channel. Essentially, the molecule is too large to penetrate. I love my Asian sunscreens. I don’t even notice that I’m wearing sunscreen at all.
Thank you for this wonderful podcast. I appreciate you taking the time to share this valuable information. Humanity needs more people like you. May God bless you.
Great interesting podcast. A couple of things though: at one point you were discussing nutrients that are good for the skin and you mentioned folic acid. Folic acid is NOT the vitamin you want to take, the correct version of that is "Folate". Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, and for many people it is problematic. The other thing I wanted to point out is that dairy can definitely cause acne, and I am glad you discussed that; however, dairy is generally something that needs to be 100% out of your diet. Reducing dairy intake doesnt really help clear up acne like 100% avoiding it does. For years, I dealt with breakouts as a teen and went to a fancy dermatologist who had me on all sorts of creams, antibiotics both applied to the skin and as long term medication that I had to take internally. It wasnt until I became a vegan in college, that my skin miraculously healed up. On a visit to the dermatolgist, he noted that my skin looked very clear. I said, "I stopped all dairy, and it cleared up." He said, "Yes, dairy can cause acne." Thanks for telling me, doc--for years you just had a paying patient that you could sell all sorts of drugs to, while you 'treated' me. Unbelievable that the answer was so easy, yet the dr (of course) failed to let me in on that little secret.
Liscenced esthetician here giving you a solid A+ on this video. From zinc to niacinamide to Dove--you’re so on point with this entire video. Not one thing would I argue with. Damn I enjoyed this one. 🙌🙌🙌
@hubermanlab isn't cancer all together, incorrect metabolism within cells? Lacking metabolic absorption of sugars causes abnormalities? Isn't it? Am I wrong?
Hydration, Aloe Vera, beeswax lip balm, mineral zinc sunscreen when I surf, hemp Castile soap, salt based deodorant, & argan oil are the main skin products I tend to use regularly.
In excited for this episode. As someone who has suffered various skin issues. HS, eczema, oily skin, hyperpigmentation…just a mess! Hoping I get some info to help me manage this covering of mine. It’s been a 20 year struggle.
I hope this isn’t a silly question but I know when many people , doctors , scientists etc are doing research about the body , skin overall health it’s typically studies based on caucasian people , do these studies also relate to melanated people ? Genuinely just asking
Yay! My parents were in the sunscreen averse camp, but now, in my thirties, my skin is looking prematurely aged 😱 and I’ve become obsessed with skincare. I’m so happy to hear a balanced discussion and learn the best protocols 🤓🙏🙏🙏
I think it's similar to what he said about psoriasis in that it's an over activation of the immune system. Dupixent which is an injection for eczema (you inject it bi-weekly, I personally take this) blocks certain immune cells like IL-6. Which is elevated in eczema patients and is an inflammatory immune cell. There's definitely other things that go on with eczema; like issues with the skin barrier. Since taking Dupixent, I still have the same dry skin that needs regular moisturization. I can't just take a shower and air dry like those with a normal skin barrier could. I've done so much research on eczema. It's definitely multi-factorial. Some people seem to have a normal skin barrier over all, but just get itchy rashes here and there. It also tends to "come and go" which is interesting. Also allergy shots have shown to help eczema. There was an older man who didn't respond to any other treatments and his doctor put him on allergy shots, after several months or a year, he was largely clear of his resistant eczema. They put this in a medical journal, I believe.
Yessss!. Thank you so much for this episode. I wish you would do an episode about a plant based diet or have a guest that specializes in it. I've been vegan for 5 years now and would really love to see someone talking about the best ways to do a plant based diet and its supplements.
When I was a teen I was told NEVER EVER touch your face! I had No acne after that. I told my friends and they also lessened their skin issues. Easy info yet always forgotten. Every doctor should stress this BEFORE medication
Studies now show that organic and mineral actually work in the same way (absorption). Highly recommend looking into it. It's not accurate to say mineral sunscreens work by "reflection".
Hello Andrew, I really enjoy listening to your amazing podcast, as always. Could you please make a podcast about hair health and the products that can be used, and another about makeup products for women, including their impact or risks, and more topics related to this? Thanks in advance.
Thanks so much! I look forward to more episodes on this topic 🤓 two things that seem to improve the appearance of my own skin (similar to a good night’s sleep) are meditation and long walks in nature. Not sure if it’s just a decrease in stress and improved circulation, or something else, but my appearance is often noticeably fresher after just a short time 😊
Absolutely loved the podcast. You covered almost everything around skin. I would have appreciated it even more if you clearly mentioned sunscreen / skin cancer and so on for people with darker skin (black and brown).
I wish my teenagers listen to this and follow Huberman’s podcast! Praying god that will happen one day. I send these videos to their message box anyway😊
Thank you. Your podcasts are invaluable, delivering current informative ideas, concepts and consensus in fields that most of us don't have the ability or background in, and in such a manner that allows us to understand as well as inspire us to action. thank you
One thing that has made a significant difference for my skin that wasn't covered on this podcast has been regular cold plunging. I go in a cold tub for about 4 minutes 3-5 times a week and my skin became noticeably smoother and more taut. From what I've read online, this is likely due to increased blood flow to the skin and increased collagen production (though I have no idea how well studied this is).
I've used Retin A since I was in my 20s. 62 now and I genuinely look 40. I use it on my hands but not as frequently but after even just a few days my hands look much better. I never had any issue with any sun reaction.
Excellent information as usual. IDEA REQUEST: How do people with chronic pain, chronic injuries, manage exercise and health when for example they have an injured foot and 5 surgeries (my case). I walk also all day working at a psychiatric hospital and the pain is so bad I can't bear to walk on it. Also chronic back pain which I know exercise would help. I can only ride a bike or swim occasionally. Can't do anything on my foot . It's very painful and swells up. Also, I get terrrible sleep due to pain. Four hours of sleep in a good night. I'm 57 and feel stuck. I've always been slim, good shape till now. Stressful job working as a social worker with patients with psychosis. Love the job, hate standing and walking on my pretty deformed, painful foot and constant back pain. I have doctors for this but not helping much. I would love this addressed and can imagine a lot of people could relate. Your podcast is my favorite. I have learned so much. The mental health ones help because of my job. But all your topics are valuable and relevant to any all people. Thank you! I'm desperate to overcome this.
The best cheap road to young skin is hydration, organic castor oil, organic raw coconut oil, healthy life style especially organic food, exercises, happy positive mind set , sleep, avoid toxic negative ignorant people with no emotional intelligence.
Conserning collagen intake and improvement of the skin-in my opinion people these days do not eat the “whole” chichen or other animals as they used to in the old days. Nowdays we mostly eat muscle and not other parts which are richer in collagen. Therefore we maybe do not intake as much of amino acids which are necessary to make optimal levels of collagen (proline or glycine namely). Now, one might think that we are in suboptimal range for these AA. When we use spplement -collagen we are finally geting the right amounts and ratios which are optimal to make collagen. Like your podcast btw, greeting from a molecular biologist from Croatia :)
Thank you so much for this episode!! Ive struggled with severe Eczema my whole life! Wish he could have touched on it more but I am pretty sure all this advice applies to eczema too.
My husband also suffered from eczema, but I managed to alleviate it by identifying and removing certain foods that triggered his allergies or caused eczema. Now, he's doing well and no longer experiences eczema.
Longtime listener of your podcast. Engaging with your content has pulled me out of many detrimental cycles, allowing me to take my health much more seriously. I’ve been looking forward to hearing you talk more about skin, as it is something that I’ve struggled with intensely since I was young. Particularly eczema. I hope to see you cover this specific topic with more detail in the future. Regardless, thank you for what you do!
I was a vegeterian and used to eat a lot of dairy products. I had a big acne problem that included my chest and back, and the only thing that helped was a Ret. A cream, that without it - my acne would get worse again. I went vegan for the animals, but the side affect was that it cleared off ALL my acne. I no longer need creams. And I have been trying to beat this acne with so many creams and pills in the past. So, from my personal experience, I recommend that as first aid people try Ret. A cream (with sunscreen, of course), and as a long term solution - go vegan. Good for the animals, the environment and your acne :) And yes, find a dietitian, see what foods work for you and make you feel good, don't just cut off nutrition from your body without finding other good sources of vitamins/proteins etc. I eat very healthy and get regular blood tests.
I’m 32 and I’ve always been in the beauty world since age 18 and I saw how older women who abused of sun exposure looked like shit. It 💯 aged them faster. So since seeing that I’ve always protected my skin. I think a little sun isn’t bad but I don’t lay out and tan. My mom is also 52 and has amazing skin and barely ever went in the sun
Hi Andrew, hope you read this - can you do an episode on the difference between daydreaming abt an outcome vs visualising an outcome. The former suggesting a lack of action and maybe just thinking alot and wishing what-if. VS the latter, which is perhaps more grounded and more concrete. How to pull daydreaming into becoming visualisation. To make the daydream a reality. Im interested to know the psychology of the difference. Why and How both are different.Really hope you see this. ❤❤❤ Love your work. Helped me lots! ❤❤❤
First off, huge fan. I'm hoping my comment helps improve the show. IMHO, Andrew and team have a well-earned reputation of objectivity, presenting ideas through facts and research. I would reconsider placing paid endorsements of products that directly align with the subject being discussed. The advertisement of the red light device put a kernel of doubt in my mind about the legitimacy findings.
Thank you for covering this very important topic. When you cover eczema in one of your next episodes, could you please also cover topical steroid withdrawal? Evidently there are a lot more people suffering from this that have been sharing their experiences online over the past few years due to the overprescription and improper use of steroidal medication. A lot of dermatologists tend to dismiss this which is extremely frustrating and contributing to the problem. From my personal experience, I've been prescribed steroid creams to manage what they thought was spreading aggravating eczema, when it was actually my body craving stronger doses of steroids. Please shed some light on this, Dr. Huberman! There's a huge community that would've grateful for this, at least to acknowledge that this is an issue worth discussing.
I’m Asian and have always been in the Beekeeper category, now at the age of 61 not only do I get mistaken for someone in their late 30’s but the quality of the texture and color of my skin is incredible healthy and beautiful. Stay out of the sun 🤍
For great skin your diet should include: Fatty fish like salmon or herring Fermented foods like Sauerkraut or kimchi Berries like Strawberries, blackberries or blueberries Nuts like walnuts or pecans Foods high in vitamin A like eggs, carrots or sweet potatoes Leafy greens like spinach or broccoli At least half a gallon to one gallon of water a day depending on how active you are
Thanks! Solid advice for most persons. Only, if persons have Hidradenitis suppurativa (an inflammatory skin condition that manifests as what looks like boils and tunnels under the skin) , try avoiding fermented food and yeast and see if there an improvement. I was eating fermented food and getting worse! It’s a rare condition, but I’ll leave the info here.
Try MCT oil, specifically C8 on your scalp. Leave on overnight, shampoo it out the next morning. You can also use ACV while you shampoo. It helps gets the oil out and is also good for it. But I would also love a later episode on this topic as well.

?Question about your book: all podcasts protocols will be given with the scientific jargon and biology based logical explanations right? Is it a combination of every
single episode? Are there going to be any diagramatic representations(just curious would love to have them thou). And if you could release them at the earliest as I am dying to read it. And one more question you have such esteemed guests that themselves write books that contain protocols will those be included??
Great video, though inorganic filters also primarily work by absorbing UV radiation, it's not complete to say that they work by reflecting it.
Please have a guest talk about fungus and how it affects health and the research into it.
It effects metabolism and skin and even mental health. It is a rich field!
Old woman here. Gravity & sun does change skin over time. But the biggest skin changer is repeat losing & gaining weight over time. Skin will not bounce back as you get older & loose skin will not go away. So be aware that maintaining your weight & stopping drastic fluctuations throughout your lifetime will go a long way in keeping your skin looking good as you age.
Balloon dieting also makes breasts sag

Good advice 👏🏼
Good skin :
1. limit sun exposure to specific times of day.
2. Get Vitamin C.
3. Good Sweat via physical exercise. (Sex counts as well 😅)
4. Hydrate
5. Sleep
6. Have good metabolism
and dont eat vegetables or other food with toxins - they arent harmful becvause ur body gets them out but thanks to that u have pimples etc. Also for vitamins u simply have to eat liver
How to achieve good metabolism ?
The video has the full explanation of how to have good skin. I suggest everyone watch it😊
Eat a lot of steak, stay healthy stay away from vegetables oils, fructose corn and process food. Start doing the job of selecting better food for you health matters.
@@lucias1276busy ur ass in the cardio realm ..ie cycling in various heart rate zones 3-4 days a week
Tips for Good Skin Health:
1. Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight during peak hours to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
2. Get Vitamin C: Incorporate Vitamin C into your diet or skincare routine to promote collagen production and skin repair.
3. Good Sweat: Engage in physical exercise regularly to help detoxify your skin through sweating. Remember, sex counts as exercise too!
4. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
5. Sleep: Ensure you get enough quality sleep, as it is crucial for skin repair and overall health.
6. Good Metabolism: Maintain a healthy metabolism through a balanced diet and regular exercise, as it impacts skin health.

A podcast on eye health and whether we can reverse our vision to somewhere near 20/20 for people with near sightedness...would be a life saver...please consider
From what I've found, it seems like red light would be beneficial.
Optometry student here. Unfortunately it is not possible to reverse myopia naturally, however there are some things you can do to slow down the progression of myopia. Getting a couple hours of blue light exposure from the sun (not screens) every day will significantly slow the progression of myopia, though this is most effective in children. Nevertheless it is still effective for young adults (18-25) but to a lesser degree. Keep in mind that at this age your eyes will begin to stabilise anyway and thus myopia progression will also slow down. Regardless, it is never a bad idea to maintain good visual habits for eye health.
Castor Oil will definitely improve your eyesight and dry eyes. You only need to put a few drops in eyes before bed and you will notice the difference in your sight in a matter of a couple of days.
Would like this

You're really good at not using filler words like "um".

Subtle but all of these little things combined really make you stand out, in addition to the fluency you have around the topics.

Taking care of yourself takes a lot of effort. Just understanding how dental hygiene or lack of and how it can affect your entire body is amazing. Taking care of your teeth, your skin, your diet, exercise, sleep, mind (as with meditation) relationships... so many people are not even taking care of one of those components let alone all of them. When I was younger I drank too much alcohol, after quitting I used food as a crutch and gain a lot of weight. The saving grace is I was armed with knowledge and always exercised. Now I'm 60 I'm finally taking all the health components serious. I'm blessed with knowledge.
also, people forget that consistency plays a major role throughout the journey of improving skin and appearance. stay consistent gentlemen, you will definitely get satisfactory results out of it!
This. Consistency and time. It takes about 21 days for the skin cells in shallow layers to fully turn over, 120 days for deeper cells. Active ingredients intended to work in the layers of the skin to stimulate collagen, etc. take that long to produce noticeable results. Many people chuck new products after a few days because they haven’t noticed anything. Take it from a 30-something lady with a diligent skincare routine that has worked wonders: keep it simple, be consistent and be patient.
Andrew - Since you said on the last podcast that you read all of your TH-cam comments, I figured I'd put this here. I absolutely LOVE your podcast - I always find the time to listen to your episodes and the information you share is literally game changing for me. I am very into and focused on my health - and I still don't know where I would have learned all of this amazing information if it didn't come from you. I know really know the importance of sleep in terms of my holistic health, I'm focused more on protein than I ever was before, I am more knowledge about peri/menipause that I just wasn't learning elsewhere.

Great podcast! I've been taking hydrolysed collagen for 5 years and my skin is amazing.

Since my teens I have rosacea and acne. To me what worked (just in the last year, I'm 41) was to avoid 100% ultra procesed foods, sugar and dairy. And also to have a good skin care routine; the key to avoid the cystics that I frecuently had was to use a cleanser with Salicylic Acid (day and night). I hope this will help someone.
Thank you for doing this episode!
Have you tried the product Procesea? I had a very weird skin eruption dream about with the original covid strain and it got rid of the redness and the bumps.
I also used to use BHA twice a week and it helped my skin so much for all papules etc. At the moment I am trying to renew the skin from inside out with differin (adapalene) and it is promising. I don't think I will totally ditch BHA but I can use less frequently.
What is BHA? @@Silvie.1
I must use salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide twice a day everyday or else I have a problem. Generally i use one in wash form and the other in leave on form. I worked up to this frequency of course. I wish i could just relax and do nothing but, i cant. My diet isnt great, or the worse but I def should work on that.
What cleanser specifically worked for you?

Best applied gratuitously before you sleep.
I recommend Bio oil a lot too, and olive oil mixed with white sugar as an exfoliating scrub after you wash.

Also, the way you phrased your comment is rude and seems to show you were uneasy and emotionnaly unstable when you wrote it.

Listened to this one on my commute - as a woman in her mid-30s, I've been using a retinol product (OTC) in some form or another for a few years, and truly saw a huge difference in my pore size and in hormonal acne breakouts. I am also waffling about types of sunscreen and am now convinced to go back to a mineral sunscreen, so thank you! Also had no idea that supplementing niacinamide had a similar effect as the topical application.

1-Eating POMEGRANATE daily
2-No junk/sugar/refined carbs /processed foods to reduce inflammation.

At 71 years old and post stroke ( 2 years ago) I am so fascinated by the topics you cover. I am very concerned by my appearance and the physiology of aging are very important to me. This podcast helped me pinpoint where I’m doing great in my journey and where I need to do more work and research!!! I love the scientific basis of information you share since I use that plus my own experiences to dictate which changes I choose to implement.
As you advocate for AG1 and as this is a growing topic: I'd like an analysis of these whole food sourced green powders Vs multivitamins Vs eating whole foods
I don’t think it’s meant to be a substitution
I’ve been a professional model for the past 27 years, and absolutely nothing makes skin look as good as proper hydration!! I don’t do neurotoxins or fillers, just good old fashioned hydration & sleep. For the past few years I’ve upped my hydration game & my skin has gotten more plump: 1 scoop of hydrolyzed collagen, 2 scoops electrolytes & 1 oz liquid hyaluronic acid in 1 liter of water & I drink that over the morning. Then have 2 more liters of mineral water over the remainder of the day. My skincare is simple, I don’t use fancy products anymore, a gentle cleanser & smear on an oil (coconut, olive, avocado, castor, even lard or tallow) in PM. AM don’t wash just apply 11% zinc sunscreen an hour or so after getting up

Personal experience Re Full Fat Dairy and Acne.
Have had moderate to severe acne entire adult life.
As an experiment I gave up all Dairy products I loved: eggs milk butter cheeses ( all organic and full fat)
2 weeks into this ‘cold-turkey’ experiment, the acne on my face lessened. One month on, the acne was significantly decreased. Three months on no dairy, I became a changed person with beautiful skin and restored confidence. Do I ever get a pimple ? Yes - indulging in chocolate may induce a small pimple or two. Since giving up dairy and restoring my skin to blemish free I have no urges or appetite for it!
I continue to refine my intake of foods to Whole Food Plant Based and am experiencing a happiness that comes from making good choices.
I'm planning on going dairy free too, do you ever eat fake dairy products?
ever thought that maybe that is beacuse the antibiotics that are in supermarket diary products?
@@lauliibonner5528 Not at all they are worst, full of chemicals, more sugar and 100% less nutrients
@@plavaovcicaactually dairy coming from cows it's high on casein A1 that in some people it's pro inflammatory, dairy products high on lactose make a response on IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor) that increase the production of sebum/oil and can clog our pores

As a 28 y.o. man who just recently got into skincare this is impecable timing. Thank you Andrew for helping so many people towards quality and longevity life
thank you mr huberman, im from Iran and i can say we have no access to any scientific data in Iran, so thank you so much, keep it up
Another great topic and well researched and presented - thank you 🙏🏼 Just a couple of things that might need some further discussion - niacinamide can actually cause facial flushing so the better option for those with rosacea or menopausal symptoms is nicotinamide - very well tolerated for all and benefits extend beyond the skin (it increases serum NAD and NMN levels.which can have systemic benefits). Re collagen peptides - peptide length in the formulation appear to be key determinants of benefits - mainly through the beneficial effect of glycine and proline on gut enterocytes and gut wall integrity (and the gut-skin axis) rather than the absorption and delivery of collagen peptides to the skin, which is still very questionable.. BUT collagen powders are high in histamine and many are high in heavy metals and other harmful compounds so they should be avoided in anyone histamine intolerance or any inflammatory condition (autoimmune, allergic or basic inflammatory process - eg obesity, menopause). And when taking 15g of collagen peptides for long periods of time collagen peptides disrupt amino acid balance and neurotransmitter synthesis and have now been linked to depression/mood disorders. It makes sense because we need 9 essentials amino acids in certain proportions in our diet (to ensure rate-limiting synthesis pathways are managed well) whereas collagen contains mainly glycine, proline and hydroxyproline - so if you're taking 15-20g a day it's going to disrupt amino acid balance. It's very possible that any skin benefits found in these industry-funded studies are due to the addition of vitamin C, nicotinamide or zinc rather than the collagen peptides. The data really isn't convincing.
Thankyou!
Do you have product recommendations please. ?
I m 41 pcod, suffered severe cystic acne. Changed my lifestyle, i eat high protein diet, take whey isolate, resistance training. No sugar, little dairy as i love drinking my tea. Use mild cleanser, non camedogenic cream, tretinoin cream at night followed by moisturizer, sunscreen during the day. And yes, i could curb my acne upto 98%. I do get some before periods for which i tke low dose of aldactone 5 mg 10 days prior to my period start date. Yes u will have to work inside our for acne issues.
My stance on sunscreen is I use titanium oxide daily because it doesn’t enter the blood stream. I use it to keep my skin healthy and prevent sun damage. I try to use sun hats when the sun is bright or if I know I’m going to be outside all day. It helps with my skin but it also really helps keep me cool.
Thank you for this podcast, Andrew! I've read about some studies that indicated that taking topical retinols like Retin A or tretinoin were associated with premature death. I think these were determined to be unfounded. However, I've also heard that retinols could compromise long term skin health down the road and even make skin age faster later in life. I'd like to hear your take on this since retinols are currently the gold standard for wrinkles and acne.
I came here to ask this same question. If an additional episode is done with an expert guest I would like to have them tackle this topic. There seems to be movement away from retinol in favour of bakuchiol as it is less damaging to the skin in the long term but with similar results to retinol.

I reached out via DM. No reply.
She has bad talked Huberman at least two times on her Instagram for what she believes is false info about sunscreen. I would be curious to hear this conversation as well. I actually unfollwed her for this reason. It was really off putting the way she went about it. Good for you Huberman for reaching out. It will be ironic if she does not reply after her criticisms she publicly claimed.
@@hubermanlabThis is one of the reasons I have so much respect for you. You are willing to reach out to those with varying opinions. I’m disappointed she didn’t respond.
@@hubermanlab I have the same life values as you. I am delighted your smartness. My dream is to be introduced to you personally.
I disagree with Huberman valuing mineral sunscreen over chemical like Lab Muffin. We are in Australia and we have access to different chemicals for our products. Also, we have broad spectrum sunscreens available that protects against the UVB rays which are not the burning rays that Huberman was talking about. But personally, there is no rating on our suncream for UVB protection, so I chosen to use suncream with Pa rating from Korea for my family. As we live under a big hole in our ozone layer sun protection is very important in Australia. Saying U don't have to wear sunscreen in the sun because your skin has some pigment would be laughable here. Very pigmented people get skin cancer here. I know Huberman has the caveat that it depends on the individual's situation. Titanium dioxide is extremely irritating and makes my skin bleed. Zinc stick goes on top of water resistant 50+ Pa +++ sunscreen as recommended by my dermatologist. Anyway I think Huberman and Lab Muffin could have an interesting discussion as I think their differences are cultural and situational.
Not sure if you read my request a month ago for this topic, but if you did, my gratitude can not be expressed enough through this TH-cam comment.

For sunscreen, many people are turning to Korean, Japanese, and European chemicals sunscreens that use newer sun filters that are newer, safer, and more effective.
But I do appreciate your presentation overall and I can tell that you did your research.
Do we have the data to prove that these new chemical sunscreens are safer?

Great interesting podcast. A couple of things though: at one point you were discussing nutrients that are good for the skin and you mentioned folic acid. Folic acid is NOT the vitamin you want to take, the correct version of that is "Folate". Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, and for many people it is problematic. The other thing I wanted to point out is that dairy can definitely cause acne, and I am glad you discussed that; however, dairy is generally something that needs to be 100% out of your diet. Reducing dairy intake doesnt really help clear up acne like 100% avoiding it does. For years, I dealt with breakouts as a teen and went to a fancy dermatologist who had me on all sorts of creams, antibiotics both applied to the skin and as long term medication that I had to take internally. It wasnt until I became a vegan in college, that my skin miraculously healed up. On a visit to the dermatolgist, he noted that my skin looked very clear. I said, "I stopped all dairy, and it cleared up." He said, "Yes, dairy can cause acne." Thanks for telling me, doc--for years you just had a paying patient that you could sell all sorts of drugs to, while you 'treated' me. Unbelievable that the answer was so easy, yet the dr (of course) failed to let me in on that little secret.
PS--I am not saying veganism is the best diet for acne. I now eat a Paleo style diet--without cow dairy and my skin is great.
Liscenced esthetician here giving you a solid A+ on this video. From zinc to niacinamide to Dove--you’re so on point with this entire video. Not one thing would I argue with. Damn I enjoyed this one. 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for the feedback! and for your interest in science.
@hubermanlab isn't cancer all together, incorrect metabolism within cells? Lacking metabolic absorption of sugars causes abnormalities? Isn't it? Am I wrong?
Hydration, Aloe Vera, beeswax lip balm, mineral zinc sunscreen when I surf, hemp Castile soap, salt based deodorant, & argan oil are the main skin products I tend to use regularly.
I wish this episode also covered melasma, which is so complicated to prevent/treat.
In excited for this episode. As someone who has suffered various skin issues. HS, eczema, oily skin, hyperpigmentation…just a mess! Hoping I get some info to help me manage this covering of mine. It’s been a 20 year struggle.
I hope this isn’t a silly question but I know when many people , doctors , scientists etc are doing research about the body , skin overall health it’s typically studies based on caucasian people , do these studies also relate to melanated people ? Genuinely just asking
Yay! My parents were in the sunscreen averse camp, but now, in my thirties, my skin is looking prematurely aged 😱 and I’ve become obsessed with skincare. I’m so happy to hear a balanced discussion and learn the best protocols 🤓🙏🙏🙏
Hola! no me quedó claro cuanto y cuando tomar sol sin protector, vos?
Finally!! An episode that I have been waited for
Humira has been a life changer for me; I have both Psoriasis & PSA. Worth every single penny!
My son has had eczema since he was a small child (he is now 25). Would love for you to do another episode as it relates to that condition. Thanks!
I think it's similar to what he said about psoriasis in that it's an over activation of the immune system. Dupixent which is an injection for eczema (you inject it bi-weekly, I personally take this) blocks certain immune cells like IL-6. Which is elevated in eczema patients and is an inflammatory immune cell. There's definitely other things that go on with eczema; like issues with the skin barrier. Since taking Dupixent, I still have the same dry skin that needs regular moisturization. I can't just take a shower and air dry like those with a normal skin barrier could. I've done so much research on eczema. It's definitely multi-factorial. Some people seem to have a normal skin barrier over all, but just get itchy rashes here and there. It also tends to "come and go" which is interesting. Also allergy shots have shown to help eczema. There was an older man who didn't respond to any other treatments and his doctor put him on allergy shots, after several months or a year, he was largely clear of his resistant eczema. They put this in a medical journal, I believe.
Yessss!. Thank you so much for this episode. I wish you would do an episode about a plant based diet or have a guest that specializes in it. I've been vegan for 5 years now and would really love to see someone talking about the best ways to do a plant based diet and its supplements.
Thank you! I am looking forward to new episodes about skin! 😊
When I was a teen I was told NEVER EVER touch your face! I had No acne after that. I told my friends and they also lessened their skin issues. Easy info yet always forgotten. Every doctor should stress this BEFORE medication
Studies now show that organic and mineral actually work in the same way (absorption). Highly recommend looking into it. It's not accurate to say mineral sunscreens work by "reflection".
Hello Andrew,
I really enjoy listening to your amazing podcast, as always. Could you please make a podcast about hair health and the products that can be used, and another about makeup products for women, including their impact or risks, and more topics related to this?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks so much! I look forward to more episodes on this topic 🤓 two things that seem to improve the appearance of my own skin (similar to a good night’s sleep) are meditation and long walks in nature. Not sure if it’s just a decrease in stress and improved circulation, or something else, but my appearance is often noticeably fresher after just a short time 😊
Absolutely loved the podcast. You covered almost everything around skin. I would have appreciated it even more if you clearly mentioned sunscreen / skin cancer and so on for people with darker skin (black and brown).
The episode I have been waiting for so long!! Thank you Dr. Huberman
I wish my teenagers listen to this and follow Huberman’s podcast! Praying god that will happen one day. I send these videos to their message box anyway😊
Thank you. Your podcasts are invaluable, delivering current informative ideas, concepts and consensus in fields that most of us don't have the ability or background in, and in such a manner that allows us to understand as well as inspire us to action. thank you
One thing that has made a significant difference for my skin that wasn't covered on this podcast has been regular cold plunging. I go in a cold tub for about 4 minutes 3-5 times a week and my skin became noticeably smoother and more taut. From what I've read online, this is likely due to increased blood flow to the skin and increased collagen production (though I have no idea how well studied this is).
I've used Retin A since I was in my 20s. 62 now and I genuinely look 40. I use it on my hands but not as frequently but after even just a few days my hands look much better. I never had any issue with any sun reaction.
Do you use sunscreen on your face daily in the summer?
@@SusieQZee almost never
@Clem62 where do you live?
@@SusieQZeeit’s best to use sunscreen over it. I have been using it for thirty years and don’t look my age because of it.
You look 40 according to you
Excellent information as usual. IDEA REQUEST: How do people with chronic pain, chronic injuries, manage exercise and health when for example they have an injured foot and 5 surgeries (my case). I walk also all day working at a psychiatric hospital and the pain is so bad I can't bear to walk on it. Also chronic back pain which I know exercise would help. I can only ride a bike or swim occasionally. Can't do anything on my foot . It's very painful and swells up. Also, I get terrrible sleep due to pain. Four hours of sleep in a good night. I'm 57 and feel stuck. I've always been slim, good shape till now. Stressful job working as a social worker with patients with psychosis. Love the job, hate standing and walking on my pretty deformed, painful foot and constant back pain. I have doctors for this but not helping much. I would love this addressed and can imagine a lot of people could relate. Your podcast is my favorite. I have learned so much. The mental health ones help because of my job. But all your topics are valuable and relevant to any all people. Thank you! I'm desperate to overcome this.
The best cheap road to young skin is hydration, organic castor oil, organic raw coconut oil, healthy life style especially organic food, exercises, happy positive mind set , sleep, avoid toxic negative ignorant people with no emotional intelligence.
Conserning collagen intake and improvement of the skin-in my opinion people these days do not eat the “whole” chichen or other animals as they used to in the old days. Nowdays we mostly eat muscle and not other parts which are richer in collagen. Therefore we maybe do not intake as much of amino acids which are necessary to make optimal levels of collagen (proline or glycine namely). Now, one might think that we are in suboptimal range for these AA. When we use spplement -collagen we are finally geting the right amounts and ratios which are optimal to make collagen. Like your podcast btw, greeting from a molecular biologist from Croatia :)
Thank you so much for this episode!! Ive struggled with severe Eczema my whole life! Wish he could have touched on it more but I am pretty sure all this advice applies to eczema too.
My husband also suffered from eczema, but I managed to alleviate it by identifying and removing certain foods that triggered his allergies or caused eczema. Now, he's doing well and no longer experiences eczema.
@@positivevibes4112diet is major. Cut out dairy for a week and see how it feels
Longtime listener of your podcast. Engaging with your content has pulled me out of many detrimental cycles, allowing me to take my health much more seriously. I’ve been looking forward to hearing you talk more about skin, as it is something that I’ve struggled with intensely since I was young. Particularly eczema. I hope to see you cover this specific topic with more detail in the future. Regardless, thank you for what you do!
I’ll always be thankful that this amount of information is for free, thank you Andrew 🙏
I was a vegeterian and used to eat a lot of dairy products. I had a big acne problem that included my chest and back, and the only thing that helped was a Ret. A cream, that without it - my acne would get worse again.
I went vegan for the animals, but the side affect was that it cleared off ALL my acne. I no longer need creams. And I have been trying to beat this acne with so many creams and pills in the past.
So, from my personal experience, I recommend that as first aid people try Ret. A cream (with sunscreen, of course), and as a long term solution - go vegan. Good for the animals, the environment and your acne :)
And yes, find a dietitian, see what foods work for you and make you feel good, don't just cut off nutrition from your body without finding other good sources of vitamins/proteins etc. I eat very healthy and get regular blood tests.
I’m 32 and I’ve always been in the beauty world since age 18 and I saw how older women who abused of sun exposure looked like shit. It 💯 aged them faster. So since seeing that I’ve always protected my skin. I think a little sun isn’t bad but I don’t lay out and tan. My mom is also 52 and has amazing skin and barely ever went in the sun
Hi Andrew, hope you read this - can you do an episode on the difference between daydreaming abt an outcome vs visualising an outcome. The former suggesting a lack of action and maybe just thinking alot and wishing what-if. VS the latter, which is perhaps more grounded and more concrete. How to pull daydreaming into becoming visualisation. To make the daydream a reality. Im interested to know the psychology of the difference. Why and How both are different.Really hope you see this. ❤❤❤ Love your work. Helped me lots! ❤❤❤
First off, huge fan. I'm hoping my comment helps improve the show.
IMHO, Andrew and team have a well-earned reputation of objectivity, presenting ideas through facts and research.
I would reconsider placing paid endorsements of products that directly align with the subject being discussed. The advertisement of the red light device put a kernel of doubt in my mind about the legitimacy findings.
Thank you for covering this very important topic. When you cover eczema in one of your next episodes, could you please also cover topical steroid withdrawal? Evidently there are a lot more people suffering from this that have been sharing their experiences online over the past few years due to the overprescription and improper use of steroidal medication. A lot of dermatologists tend to dismiss this which is extremely frustrating and contributing to the problem. From my personal experience, I've been prescribed steroid creams to manage what they thought was spreading aggravating eczema, when it was actually my body craving stronger doses of steroids. Please shed some light on this, Dr. Huberman! There's a huge community that would've grateful for this, at least to acknowledge that this is an issue worth discussing.
Yes!
I’m Asian and have always been in the Beekeeper category, now at the age of 61 not only do I get mistaken for someone in their late 30’s but the quality of the texture and color of my skin is incredible healthy and beautiful. Stay out of the sun 🤍
For great skin your diet should include:
Fatty fish like salmon or herring
Fermented foods like Sauerkraut or kimchi
Berries like Strawberries, blackberries or blueberries
Nuts like walnuts or pecans
Foods high in vitamin A like eggs, carrots or sweet potatoes
Leafy greens like spinach or broccoli
At least half a gallon to one gallon of water a day depending on how active you are
Thanks! Solid advice for most persons.
Only, if persons have Hidradenitis suppurativa (an inflammatory skin condition that manifests as what looks like boils and tunnels under the skin) , try avoiding fermented food and yeast and see if there an improvement.
I was eating fermented food and getting worse! It’s a rare condition, but I’ll leave the info here.
This podcast was so helpful. Thank you, Dr. Huberman, for all you do.
Hi, Andrew. I ask you to cover dandruff and scalp conditions in later episodes
seborrheic dermatitis is a form of psoriasis
Yes, please. I've been trying for over 1 yr to fix mine but no success :(
Try MCT oil, specifically C8 on your scalp. Leave on overnight, shampoo it out the next morning. You can also use ACV while you shampoo. It helps gets the oil out and is also good for it. But I would also love a later episode on this topic as well.
Maybe look into using salicylic acid or glycolic acid based shampoos.
@@lisafit10 Try the soap Dr. Dray suggests for fungus. It’s called ZP soap(zinc pyrithione).
