- Welcome to a preview of the 10th Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode, part of Huberman Lab Premium.
The Huberman Lab Premium subscription was launched for two main reasons. First, it was launched in order to raise support for the standard Huberman Lab podcast channel - which will continue to come out every Monday at zero-cost. Second, it was launched as a means to raise funds for important scientific research. A significant portion of proceeds from the Huberman Lab Premium subscription will fund human research (not animal models) selected by Dr. Huberman, with a dollar-for-dollar match from the Tiny Foundation.

The practice of grounding is a fascinating thing. I can’t help but wonder if us kids growing up in the 60’s and 70’s going barefoot so much, particularly in the summer, affected our emotional and mental wellbeing in a way that more recent generations haven’t experienced.
People from post USSR and specifically from Russia are still growing up barefoot!
And the '50s and before! People were always grounding until recent times. Btw, climbing trees barefoot is the best.
try doing it in australia@@jaycarver4886
Simply put, yes.
It would be interesting to see a study done comparing those in third world countries and first world countries and the levels of mental wellbeing in each in regards to grounding
I'm so stoked that you've finally addressed grounding! There's a lot that wasn't covered here though. There are dozens of peer reviewed studies that very much do isolate the grounding experience in lab from an electrical perspective and do show incredible benefit to human physiology.
The same way we ground our electrical appliances to protect from fires or explosions during power surge, we can ground ourselves (indoors or out) electrically to improve health.
Please please please look into this topic further, it easily warrants a full podcast, perhaps with Clint Ober or Gaetan Chevalier (leading scientists) on with you. If the current science isn't 'blue ribbon' enough, it's absolutely worth raising our voices and pricking the ears of those who can get this topic to that undeniable level. Much love and appreciation for your work Dr. Huberman xo
I second that!
@@cluelessangel5292 same here!
I want this podcast to happen so much, I will second it again. 😅🥲
Came here to say EXACTLY THIS! We’d greatly appreciate your takeaways and summaries of the in depth research that has been conducted. Bringing Clint on would be AMAZING!
Thank you Dr. H for all you do!
Yes! Still here for this!!
Huberman challenge: try not to mention morning sunlight in eyes. Level - Impossible
A true classic 👌🤣
😂 😮 well said ...clip it compilation?
Try catching Huberman without a black oxford button down.
Wouldn't be a Huberman podcast without it!
Sunlight in my eyes makes me sneeze!
I've done many tests with a multimeter and grounding, standing barefoot on grass, concrete, touching trees and other plants or dipping feet in a river, there is a definite reduction in voltage showing on the multimeter, then holding a phone, touching pc cord, router etc while grounded/not grounded. I don't need more convincing, I feel the benefits in my body.
I usually take my shoes off while walking my dog through the park and absolutely love the feeling of the cool morning dew, instant relaxation 🙂 in winter I started walking in the snow.
Not sure why so many people deny it or make fun of it, it was natural for our ancestors.
All the best 🙂
It sounds too easy. But yah the effect is measurable.
Studies or not ive been grounding myself daily for weeks and I felt the difference immediately. Whether I just feel better because it's very relaxing to go walking in the grass or not I feel like it enriches my very soul. But I will mention I go for walks often out in the grass field behind my home usually shirtless to get my sunlight for the day, but doing barefoot made it a thousand times better. I can feel the energy flowing through my feet and into my body.
0:00: 🌞 Getting sunlight early in the day is supported by numerous studies and is important for setting your circadian rhythm.
3:23: ☀ Getting sunlight in your eyes early in the day has numerous benefits for mental health, physical health, and performance.
6:39: 🌿 The natural world, including sunlight and moving bodies of water, has positive health benefits, but it is difficult to isolate specific factors in nature that contribute to these benefits.
10:59: ✅ Getting out into nature can enhance mental and physical health and improve performance in various aspects of life.
13:29: 🌿 Getting out into nature has numerous positive health effects, including enhanced mental and physical health.
16:34: 🌿 Getting out into nature has numerous benefits for mental and physical health, although the specific reasons are not well understood.
19:08: 💰 The Huberman Lab podcast premium channel is launched to raise support for the standard channel and fund research on human beings for mental health, physical health, and performance.
Recap by Tammy AI
Never stop doing what you do, you've been such an influential force in so many people's paths to self-improvement ❤
We are nature, so being outside of a building/vehicle is where we naturally should be, which is why it feels good.
The idea of becoming more in tune with the Earth's resonance is truly fascinating; it's amazing how most of the clothing we wear and how and what we live in most of the day, works against this concept of being more in tune with and surrounded by nature. I have to admit that I do feel better in the warmer months and spend a fair amount of time outdoors walking and just taking care of the landscaping, lawn work, etc. I'm 70 now, but when growing up, spent, and was encouraged to spend, lots of time outdoors, as all my friends were in the late 50's, 60's and 70's... hard to find any children outside at all anymore.
I started sleeping on a grounding mat I hooked up to a copper rod I put in the ground . my nighttime TMJ is almost gone, my shoulder pain is measurably better, and my sleep quality improved exponentially. I'm a firm believer now in the benefits of grounding, and as I work around electronics and electricity all day, I believe this is the cause. A little disappointed Huberman hadn't really gone into the studies done because I have and the evidence is very strong.
What grounding sheet you have?
Thanks Andrew, I hope your students appreciate what they have in a teacher like you.
Does he still teach?
@@leylaboom2341 he sure does/teaches us here eh!?!!6:40Pm9/3/2023
@@leylaboom2341I believe he teaches a class every winter quarter each year
Surfing before work just got a huge thumbs up from Andrew 🤓
I'll mention this because you seemed to talk about earthing and grounding almost exclusively in the context of being in nature and also how any particular aspect of nature being beneficial over another hasn't been comprehensively scientifically determined.
But electrical grounding to earth seems like one of the easiest to isolate from other variables of being in nature - because it doesn't require being outside. One can electrically ground to earth indoors with a grounding mat or device (or just touching the house ground). It will Electrically ground the body to earth, facilitating purported health benefits of that (reduced inflammation, improved vagal tone, zeta potential, etc).
Thanks for your input!
He didn't read any of the studies about grounding did he...
Could you make a video on tinnitus, please?
Dr Allan Mandell (aka Motivational Doc) has a bunch of those! 😅
Yes please!
I’ve been looking for a remedy for years as my 28yr old son has it so bad, it can sometimes make him so irritable,… You don’t dare say I word to him during those heightened episodes😬
I would enjoy that. It drives me insane!
Andrew Huberman is a blessing to many. I achieved success with easy steps below.
Highly appreciated professor Andrew we can't thank enough
"Grounding" seemed so woo-woo to me the way most people explain it.
But I feel amazing anytime I can be out in nature with bare feet, walking around. Can't argue with raw experience.
I've heard that in nature you can smell terpenes and these compounds have a positive effect in the brain. It could be one of the topics to explore with your guest.
they might have effect on our endocannabinoid system through the entourage effect, and it was shown in a recent study to be the system responsible for the "runner's high".
PS. sorry for no sources but it's late at night i reccomend you read up on it
@@walter7825i think you are a little confused lol thats not what the entourage effect. And thats also not what is responsible for a runners high, a runners high is a release of adrenaline and dopamine and endorphins
@@Owen-C1997 it's been shown in studies that there is no significant increase in endorphins after or during running. and can you explain your understanding of the entourage effect?
edit: reading up on the study the second time, it seems that opioids are released, but they don't play a major part in the runner's high
My grandparents lived in the countryside. So getting outside to feed the chickens and cows and then plucking the weeds from the garden were part of the daily schedule. I remember staying there during summer break, and I can, even now, 30 years later, feel the smell of the damp soil in the crisp morning air as one of the most serene sensory experiences out there.
Thank you for sharing this vivid memory! The imagination is a powerful thing. I obviously wasn't there to experience this, but just reading it, my body remembered its own positive interactions being in the dirt and I felt the serenity too. Thank you :)
@@theQuietWire I am so happy to have triggered that for you :)
@@theresahope9759 it's a beautiful way to start my day :)
I would very much appreciate an episode dedicated to saliva hormone testing versus blood hormone testing and which hormone testing companies are the best value in reliability, honesty, pricing, result reporting, and provider friendly. Thank you for all the work you do.
Thank you so much!!!! It is just in time for me! Ive been researching on this subject for a while and here you go, Huberman has delivered this info to me ❤
This is my dream guy! So smart and handsome! People like him are giving us gold! Much appreciation!❤
I'm in the pnw woods all around. I took a 5 min drive to some woods took my dog, didn't go far , the smells were glorious! I take caution not to disturb nature or bother the wild animals just a few minutes of fresh air and being in nature makes you feel happy your alive!
@@AliAtlas-qi1hui think its his physical degree
@@AliAtlas-qi1hu what don't I like is the question
For the Problem with the too many variables: You can investigate the other way around, to not isolate one factor of nature in the lab but to get people in natural environments and cut the one thing that you try to investigate on off in one group. For example one group wears shoes that don't allow electrons to pass, the other group goes barefoot.
Thanks for the Valuable Information
Highly appreciated professor Andrew we can't thank enough. Highly appreciated professor Andrew we can't thank enough.
This makes so much sense. I think of how well I sleep after a day at the beach or while camping.
Man, Andrew such a legend. Was disappointed he didn't address grounding (as separate from forest bathing and nature exposure). Talking about being "electrically grounded" to the earth. This can be achieved with a wire.
Polarization of red blood cells is clearly visible in live blood microscopy. Look it up. Its amazing. Global effects in the body would be difficult to overstate.
*sad trombone sound*
Still love you Andrew.
I so appreciate the conclusion of this. If it feels good, do it! It’s really that simple. Why depend on science or other evidence when YOU are the ultimate expert on YOU!
I appreciate your comments on this subject of “ingesting” nature, while not feasible to isolate and analyze all of its numerous variables through a science based lens, the positive human response is sufficient evidence to validate the practice.
Even using grounding mats, not touching real "ground" will reduce blood viscosity by two thirds. It's a matter of electron balance.
I would love an episode on autism specifically being born with cognitive delays, maybe also mention executive functioning disorders and tips if you can
I love the way he explains pretty much everything that might occur to someone when thinking about the answers to these questions. This is basically the way my internal monologue sounds 24/7. 😀
I can attest that being in tune with nature is most relaxing. I have a waterfall/stream. The sound of water splashing and with birds chirping in the background is awesome. My garden is like a botanical garden and just walking around the garden is calming. I ground myself to home make device to the powerpoint. 10 to 30 mins aday.
Як завжди найкращій, наш улюблений🎉! Ми поважаємо тебе та дякуємо за все що ти робиш❤. Друга частина фільму особливо чепляє
You need a award for this! This podcast is going to have a huge impact on the future of humanity!
Leave it to humans to ask such a silly question like “is being in nature good for me?”…
Thank you Dr. Huberman. 🌱🌲🌳🍃🍁🍂 Nature is my therapy and morning sunlight with my Golden Retriever, every morning, makes me sleep really well at night. (Unless I had a glass of wine, which I'm working on eliminating during the week at least). If I may, I have a meditation that I'd like to share. It's perfect for listening to on a nature walk or while laying on the grass in your yard... Or indoors. ☺️💚 Will post the link below in a reply to this comment. 🙏Thank you for living your Purpose and teaching us. 💚
Golden Retrievers are therapy on their own…the rest is icing. 😉
@@TheJaniceJoy 1000000% accurate! ❤️
Thank you, Dr. Huberman.
Thank you for
Your quality science interest in discovery!
Thankfully I don't wait for studies to tell me whether or not connecting with the earth will benefit. I may however look into risks and/or best protocols for engaging with said practice. We are made from the same stuff in the earth. That's the main reason it's better for us to eat stuff from the earth very minimally processed. So the extracted stuff from the earth can be transferred to our bodies. Our bodies are electrical, can absorb electricity and so does the earth. It makes sense that connecting to the earth via grounding would have great benefit for the body.
Whenever I go hiking I feel absolutely better
Hey Dr. Huberman I’m a huge fan of the podcast, it really helped me improve overall quality of life and I greatly enjoy the quality and depth of your knowledge. I would love to suggest an episode about spirituality and the brain. Obviously that would require a good definition of spirituality and how one could go about improving that via objective behavioral and neurobiological tools. Thank you.
Also curious what the general anatomy is and what neural networks are engaged and the neurochemicals involved in mediating this state of mind. I know spirituality can be very subjective but would love to hear any objective information you might be able to shed some light on this most elusive and confusing/misunderstood subject. Anything you can share would be most appreciated. Thank you.
Mr. Andrew, it would be very interesting to see your breakdown and examples and honest or scientific review of negative reinforcement where its used when people can’t motivate themselves anymore ! Cheers
That's an interesting question. I'm trying to think of any of his podcasts that have delved into that specifically. I do hope you find something positive to bring you to a better place though friend. Life is good :)
I think the very recent podcast on "Growth Mindset" (there are technically two on this topic, one with a really cool Doctor that I can't quite recall her name, I will update later in that)
Professor Huberman, thank you so much for what you do. Our whole family loves listening to you, but perhaps especially our 11yr old, who also read your profile in the Stanford alum magazine, and said “that’s just like me!” (He thoroughly enjoys presenting to his class on microbiology, his favorite subject). What are your favorite microbiology resources for young learners? He has taken all the classes through CTY, Khan high school bio, and we’re now getting stuck finding new classes and ways for him to engage. Thank you for your time! 😊
What a role model to have for an 11 year old 😊
Early morning sunlight has been a game changer. I added light therapy glasses that is on my nightstand so I can start right away before I even get outside. It’s helped with jet lag too.
Thank you Andrew.
Thank you for the podcast. I discovered it through a column by Justin Guitar about neuroplasticity for older guitar students and have ever since been listening to many other episodes. You have single-handedly changed my mindset around exercise and health in general, and I'm now adding zone 2 and strength training to each week (also thanks to Peter Attia and Jeff Cavaliere among others).
I've recently been also studing the work of Dr Chris van Tulleken who has looked a lot at processed food, diet, health etc and has a book out about it, and I thought it would be really cool to see you interview or chat with Dr Chris, if that is a possibility. I'd also love to hear a chat with Dr Rohin Francis from medlife crisis. Just a couple of ideas...!
Thank you again!
Wow, your episode with Jack kruse is amazing. I hope to hear more about your thoughts on his thoughts in the future.
Fastfoward to 14:50 for Earthing or grounding. Even then, still peppered with other stuff.
I've never heard of that definition of grounding. I learned about it from my childhood therapist as a way of calming down from anxiety related to derealization. It's basically focusing on feeling your feet on the ground and feeling yourself in the world. As someone who benefited a bunch from this and taught other friends who were also dealing with drug induced derealization... I would confidently anecdotally say that it's some sort of mindfulness benefit rather than some new age electron mumbo jumbo.
I vote you do some of your podcasts in the midst of nature!! 🐿️ 🌲 🐦 🐻
Multiple birds, one stone kinda theory 😁
Hey Dr. Huberman, I was wondering what is the best way to find research papers as you do for material for your podcast?
Also, I was wondering if you had planned on doing a podcast on gambling and the neurological side effects?
Thank you.Andrew
Thank you for sharing such important information 🤍
I have read and processed the podcast interview transcript "AMA #10: Benefits of Nature & “Grounding," Hearing Loss Research & Avoiding Altitude Sickness". Here is a summary of the top 10 key points:
1. **Spending time in nature has a number of benefits for physical and mental health.**
- It can reduce stress, improve mood, and boost energy levels.
- It can also help to improve sleep quality and cognitive function.
- Research has shown that spending time in nature can even lead to a longer lifespan.
2. **Grounding is a practice that involves connecting your bare skin to the earth.**
- It is thought to have a number of health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving sleep, and boosting the immune system.
- Grounding can be done by walking barefoot on the grass, swimming in a natural body of water, or sitting on the ground with your bare feet touching the earth.
3. **Hearing loss is a common problem that can affect people of all ages.**
- There are a number of different causes of hearing loss, including noise exposure, aging, and genetic factors.
- There is no cure for hearing loss, but there are a number of treatments that can help to improve hearing and communication.
4. **Altitude sickness is a condition that can occur when you travel to a high altitude.**
- The symptoms of altitude sickness can include headache, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.
- Severe altitude sickness can be life-threatening.
- There are a number of things that you can do to prevent altitude sickness, such as ascending gradually and acclimatizing to the high altitude before engaging in strenuous activity.
Here are some additional key points from the podcast interview:
- **Nature can help to reduce stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.**
- The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response.
- **Grounding may help to reduce inflammation by increasing the production of electrons.**
- Electrons are antioxidants that can help to neutralize free radicals.
- Free radicals are molecules that can damage cells and contribute to inflammation.
- **Hearing loss can lead to a number of problems, including social isolation, depression, and cognitive decline.**
- It is important to treat hearing loss early to prevent these problems from developing.
- **Altitude sickness can be prevented by ascending gradually and acclimatizing to the high altitude before engaging in strenuous activity.**
- Symptoms of altitude sickness can be treated with medication, but it is important to descend to a lower altitude if symptoms become severe.
Here are some ideas for how to take action on the key points from the podcast interview transcript "AMA #10: Benefits of Nature & “Grounding," Hearing Loss Research & Avoiding Altitude Sickness" to improve your life:
**Spending time in nature**
* Make time to spend time in nature each day, even if it's just for a few minutes.
* Go for a walk in the park, sit by a river or lake, or hike in the woods.
* If you live in a city, find a green space where you can relax and connect with nature.
**Grounding**
* Try to ground yourself for at least 30 minutes each day.
* Walk barefoot on the grass, swim in a natural body of water, or sit on the ground with your bare feet touching the earth.
* If you're unable to go outside, you can also ground yourself by using a grounding mat or sheet.
**Hearing loss**
* If you have hearing loss, get your hearing tested by a qualified audiologist.
* Discuss your treatment options with your audiologist.
* There are a number of different hearing aids and other devices that can help to improve hearing and communication.
**Altitude sickness**
* If you're planning to travel to a high altitude, ascend gradually and acclimatize to the high altitude before engaging in strenuous activity.
* Drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol and caffeine.
* If you develop symptoms of altitude sickness, descend to a lower altitude immediately.
Here are some additional tips for taking action on the key points from the podcast interview:
* **Start small.** Don't try to change too much at once. Pick one or two key points and focus on those.
* **Be consistent.** The key to making lasting change is to be consistent with your efforts.
* **Don't be afraid to ask for help.** If you're struggling to make changes on your own, talk to a friend, family member, or healthcare professional.
I hope these tips are helpful. Remember, it takes time and effort to make lasting change. Be patient with yourself and don't give up.
Thanks for clearing up. The long and short of this is: Though there's plenty of evidence to show it's good to be out in the nature, there's not quality evidence to show and it's hard to specifically say that grounding in nature is especially beneficial.
Most effective therapy and best discovery in nearly 100 years
14:46 Grounding
Great episode, and I could not agree more on the positive efects of nature on your mental and physical wellbeing from own experiences. One question that came up as I was listening was; you discribe the scenario that you dedicate a certain time window for mental relaxation outside your standard environment (usually indoors) which happens to be nature. Would all those positive effects also arise for people that are most of there time already outdoors (becuase of work or their living situation)? Boild down my question is: Do those positive effects actually arise becuase of nature, or purely from the fact that you dedicate a timewindow for mental relaxation and/or that includes a change in surroundings? (Not questioning the positive effects of sunlight)
I really wish I could have this in May parents language. It would make it so much easier for them to grasp
I love walking on the grass without my shoes while walking my dog. During winter when I couldn't I noticed, within myself, a disconnect. We can't always look to what someone else says is right or wrong, we need to do what we like and what we feel is beneficial to us. Have a great day 😊
So fascinating to learn about the benefits of being by moving water and negative ionisation! Also really appreciate your pragmatism when considering the positive effects of these types of intervention where it’s difficult to prove in a controlled study. Would love to see a longer episode on the benefits of nature!
Yes! I would love to listen to a full episode on the benefits of nature, maybe on the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku or more known as Forest Bathing. Japan scientists are publishing research reports on benefits and would be very interesting to hear Andrew's comment on this.
Doctor Huberman, could you please do a video about the impacts of cigarettes on mental health ? You are great help to many people, thank you !
Life changing stuff as usual. Premium member here and happy to support. First comment ever. I suffer with Tinnitus and wear hearing aids that have a mode that delivers a continuous sound (you can select what type of sound) always. So, I have my high pitch tone always (Tinnitus) and the one generated by the hearing aid (Oticon) and was interested in something you mentioned specifically about having background noise AND trying to hear regular sound. Doesn't this behavioral "treatment" of of producing this sound in my hearing aid to focus on provide that 2 step (?) problem you referred to in the AMA?
Dr. Huberman, would you consider covering osteoarthritis? .. I'm a young athlete and developed it due to martial arts injury, like Lex. There is scarce anything I can find about addressing arthritis in young people, but it appears to be a common issue in athletes if the cycling club I joined is anything to go by. Please help illuminate if you can.
I use celery for mine. Blend with iceberg lettuce and drink daily.
Me and my family went to porcupine mountains like Superior in Michigan and I felt great that whole week crashing Waze, while we were staying at the yurt
I dig it. Where we get peer reviewed, randomized experimentation studies conducted repeatably, that drive us to a definitive straight science answer, great. Where we get a+b+c+d=improved health and longevity, great too. While we try to hone the science, while we try to zero in on the mechanisms, we would be wiser than not to engage in a+b+c+d.
I spend most of my free time barefoot. Training, running, hiking, doing parkour, etc. I have no idea if "grounding" has any effect on me, but it's certainly a lot of fun, and great for our feet.
To make a short and straight forward answer: do not even think of replicating nature in a lab. Period. Nature is complex and dynamic.
In the Uk come October until the spring there’s very little sunlight early morning 😊
Excelent video.
kudos from uruguay
PEMF has been game changer for me , plz do a video on this modality ❤
Been watching since late 2021
The Grounding thing: A while ago I bought the materials to Ground my bed thus me while sleeping. This vid reminded me to set it up and see how well it works/Or not. We shall see in the near future. 👍- 👍 I had the same issues with finding quality research also, so I decided to do it myself on me.
❤ Thank you Andrew. Agree
I hundred percent believe that someone in your eyes makes you sleep so much better after a day at the beach I feel so tired and ready to go to bed.
Hello audience
I am so surprised that there are people who ask all these questions, but at the same time I understand that they are dictated by the modern way of life.
We the people are part of the nature and it's so logical is to have close contakt with it.
Being outdoors in nature feels great maybe because we are part of it.😮
But Andrew, it would be easy to test grounding. You just connect a grounding cable to one person, and then don't connect it (or leave it ungrounded) for the control group.
And that has been done... many times... showing outstanding results. Kind of think the information is supressed.
Life changing podcast. Could you do an episode on borderline personality? My mom is suffering from it and I can't seem to understand her....
❤❤
My girlfriend and I both had horrible jaw-clenching while sleeping. She even cracked one of her crowns open. After installing a silver fabric grounding mattress pad, both of our jaw clenching habits miraculously disappeared immediately and have never come back. I hope this message finds anyone with this problem 🙏
Thank you! That's amazing. Do you have cotton/natural fiber sheets? I've been learning about synthetic fibers and static and their negative effects on the body, and I feel like it would benefit me to switch all my bedding away from polyesters/microfibers. I've heard about the grounding sheets, but without natural sheets to go along with it, would it not be having the greatest effect? Just wondering about your experience. Thanks!
Thats fantastic, so you just used the silver fabric grounding mattress and no cords to plug in to the outlet (not sure if you're aware of why that's done)?
Can you tell me where you got the mattress pad?
hnhhyhyyyhuh

Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on
PLEASE DO EPISODE ON BENEFITS OF ANIMALS, I graciously beg you. .
Animal living inside loose all benefit that their ancestors had. They get human disease, so make sure walk them in earth, not in asphalt. It doent help in their overall health. You took them from their natural environment to help you survive, so do best for them, let them wallk in their land as much as possible.
This is why I love swimming first thing in the morning
Why?
Thank you for existing
It would be really helpful if you could do an episode of long covid symptoms and what practices might be helpful for treatment especially for people outside UK and US who do not have direct access to the treatment available there.
Try grounding 😉
Psychosomatic. The flu doesn’t last that long lol
@@christianross3933 I suggest you look up long COVID. It's most definitely real and is currently being researched by scientists.
Yes please.
Definitely would be useful. There's many millions of people disabled and or unable to work.
Thanks for all your and your team's hard work.
I would love to know if there is any promising research for tinnitus treatments?
I seriously hope one day a treatment will be available to help this, it got worse over the years and I fear it will get worse still.
And I'm not talking about sound masking, but actually making the sound quieter.
Boggles my mind how this noise is generated in the brain. Very much hoping for a treatment for the cause and not only for dealing with the symptoms.
Mine went away when my allergies were treated! Don’t know if this helps anyone.
@@winifredherman4214 Wow, that's great, worth looking into for people with allergies!
I tried an indigenous therapy from USA where the sufferer is told somebody must be speaking well of them and yes it has helped me. Could easily be the distraction that is the trick. Have had benefit using this with trigeminal neuralgia (with analgesic drugs as well).
May I request consideration for the discission topic of: The possible existance of a subconscience intellegence rating, and all of the surrounding topics impacted by that statement. Like, the larger range of implorable defense mechanisms for self, the allowable information release to the conscience mind, cognitive dissonance between reality and mental self.
That's odd, because I am trying to invite you to join us on a Mt Kilimanjaro climb and wanted to discuss altitude sickness! Glad I found this episode.
Apparently blue-light from my phone is too powerful at night is going to mess up my circadian rhythm, but using the blue-light from phone in the morning isn't strong enough... Poor smart phone can't catch a break!
I would imagine it is because sunlight is a potent source of light that your body has evolved to respond to in the morning. The light from sunlight strongly influences cortisol and suppresses melatonin to a greater extent than the light from cell phones. It offers a more significant amount of light to fully energize you for the day compared to what a cell phone can provide for you to feel at your best.
However, a cell phone emits enough light to delay sleep. To illustrate, think of the sun awakening you as akin to pushing a stone up a hill; you need ample light or "force" to propel it uphill. When you aim to fall asleep, you want it to roll down without hindrance.
Sunlight is like a strong man capable of pushing the stone uphill. The light from a cell phone is akin to a weaker individual unable to roll it up the hill but still capable of obstructing its unhindered descent, as is the case when trying to fall asleep.
Recent evidence suggests the blue light phone thing isn't the case.

Do we have any more guest series planned?? Where you delve super deep into a topic. Was a fan of the series with dr andy galpin. Have recommended it to many fitness enthusiastic people. Similar series would be appreciated.

Curious about Coenzyme Q10 for fatigue, including endurance exercise.

I've missed all of these so far, but something that happens often enough to notice when it does, but not often enough to remember daily.
Why do problems get solved so clearly in my head and the best thoughts seem to pop in exactly when I can't write them down because I'm driving?
Sunlight is extremely important for many reasons but the main reason is vitamin d. You cannot get vitamin d in the early morning or late in the day. Its usually 10 am to 3pm depending where you live or what season it is. You cannot get vitamin d in winter even if there is sun. You need to check the uv index and it needs to be at least 3 to get vitamin d
Wish you would do a discussion about Ageism. The Book "Breaking the Age Code" By Becca Levy Phd ( How your beliefs about aging determine how long & well you live) was a real eye opener. It will affect everyone, sooner or later.

Speaking of the great outdoors... Are there any studies comparing people who thrive in heat/humidity v/s those who succumb to vomiting headaches and worse with any heat exertion?
