Using Cortisol & Adrenaline to Boost Our Energy & Immune System Function

Does stress compound? Can you carry stress from an event for years? Do other events add to that stress?

There’s a lot of very actionable information here, and I’ve already started applying some. Thank you.

Im not familiar with racetam MOA, but the blood glucose explanation for amphetamine/cocaine performance enhancement doesn’t hold water. While they do that, they both radically increase DA and NE - usually too much to the point where you’re going see receptor down regulation, throwing a wrench in the entire strategy outlined in the podcast. I’m sure you know this… just steering people away?

What about remembering/reviewing information you learned during adrenergic activities? I usually use it as a study technic but I’m not sure if there’s any difference between doing it at resting state or even between just running and not recalling info after a study session. What do you think, doctor?

Do dogs get spike in adrenaline when exposed to cold water?

Noice!

Ive just listened to this, a first time listener, really fascinating. You mentioned about getting daylight first thing in the morning. I live in the UK, we have daylight savings -which is a load of nonsense, so our clocks went back an hour at the end of October, and resultantly it's dark in the morning until about 8am. Is there anything you can do in place of this natural daylight, such as a lamp?

Thank you for all the useful information. I’m not into science at all, but you make it easy to understand, which in turn, keeps me motivated to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

Everyone's different. I've found for me it helps to limit the splurging to to once a week, be it food or whatever. It gets my body to not count on certain feel goods. It increases their effects. It encourages the my body to try to repair or create these things on their own so I become less reliant on a habitual external source. That's just me everyone is different.

Licorice is used in Ayurveda for centuries, it helps to keep cortisol high in situations of short-term stress, if the body doesn’t have the resource to keep it high by itself. So that the body won’t be so easily depleted.

I was on finch and got teleported here

The sound of Costello sleeping in the background is so sweet

Awesome that you do captions in Spanish very very awesome i can finally send your videos to family and friends

Your intro is way too long

Would prescribed stimulants for ADHD run down someone's immunity because there is so much more (and constant?) norepinephrine someone's system is exposed to?

My daughter had thyroid cancer and had her thyroid gland removed at age 33 years old. Now she takes levothyroxine but is so tired all the time.

Is there a benefit of doing cold water Exposure etc. And taking ashwaganda?

What ab the one of us with long covid? Its supposed to male our natural killers shitty and un effective….😢 been light exposing in am since over a year, troed to do wimhoff totally threw me in post exertional malaise (pem). Thoughts on this?
I use to be an athlete and used to do multi days races now can barely walk over 4km….im better than last year but discouraged because I do all possible biohacks

Dr Huberman, the immediate thought that comes from watching your work is - why do we have politicians worldwide who are so ignorant and why do we not replace them with academics like yourself who actually know what they are talking about and have an ethical and socially responsible mind to boot. Your abilities and your contributions are truly inspiring for the rest of us who would love to think like you...perhaps some of us will ....well, a little bit...sort of.

Hello Andrew: I love your podcasts. However, I am not a science guy. Can you please give us your bulltpoints, summary points? I know many people enjoy learning the science. I get lost and cannot benefit as much. I heard many other people want bulletpoints. thank you for your time

Black licorice is not what’s sold as the candy. Instead it is licorice root the European variety. I have the powder and it is absolutely disgusting. I believe it works by increasing the conversion of cortisone to cortisol.

do infrared saunas (hot) work the same way as cold ?

⚠️ - Hot bath = Growth hormone. Cold bath - Dopamine. I want to have energy and motivation. It's complex, since hot and cold bath are opposites. 😮😮

❤ Thank you for the CAPTIONS. 🎉🎉

Thank you for professing and accessiblizing your vast knowledge and expertise-> especially love all the little Hubermanisms!

I find myself feeling gratitude throughout these podcats/videos. Thank you for the Doperman release (Dopamine-Huberman) ☺

I forgot why its important to keep dissociation between the adrenaline response from adrenals and that from the brainstem…. Would anyone care to explain it to me?

I recently started a new extremely demanding job with a baby on the way. Incorporating Dr Hubermans protocols into my daily routine has kept me performing at my best more frequently. Thank you!

Is adrenal fatigue a high or low cortisol syndrome?

Not sure if you mentioned it, but does the cortisol produced from the sun ALSO produce epinephrine? If so, is there a correlation between sunlight and learning?

Edit: just googled it and there is a study saying there is lol

This is gonna suck to hear but I think this mechanism is why people spank their kids.

Germans swear by Chamomile for all kinds of ailments, but interesting that it decreases estrogen, as it is commonly used against menstrual cramps, when estrogen is already low. Good to know with the Ashwaganda - it's in the gummies I've been taking against morning headaches, so won't be doing that anymore :D and will watch the episode on Headaches next!

My gratitude for educating me. I'm a psychology student from Cambridge College, and I follow all of your interesting videos and podcasts.

I am enjoying this podcast

Please guide me for aderal fatigue of adrranal dysfunction.

Voluntary stress is good to enhace immune system (fasting, cold bath, intense work outs or just hard stuff). My circadian clock is fucked so that is why my thyroid hormones is fucked even I get 8 hour sleep every day.

I have been very underweight all my life due to my fast metabolism but wanted to try intermittent fasting because my energy levels were so low, after a while i felt so good and had a ton more energy but the weight was dropping off me so quick and it was concerning how much i kept losing , i have started to eat as i used to do purely because i cannot afford to lose any more weight but my energy levels have plummeted again. what can i do?

Thank you

Thanks from Ukraine ! 🇺🇦🫡❤️‍🩹 U help us in fight for freedom by your work ! We will win on mordor

Hello! Great episode btw. I wanted to know how many hours is fasting recommended for a young active adult and if exercise is better in the morning or is it fine also in the evening. Thank you ✨

Hi Andrew! Hi guys. I'd like to ask if someone know. How does need to take cold shower, either with head or without (I mean immerse in the head in water or not)? If we talk about 7 - 9 degrees of water.

How would you handle regulating cortisol levels for someone who works opposite morning schedule that fluctuates. Nurses, firemen, retail stocking/inventory staff are all in the wee hours of the night/early morning and sleep during the day. Yes, I have all those jobs in my family.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice. You are one of my favorite resources and I am so grateful to you as I am a 'science-based' clinician.

Great podcast, important topic.
One thing I didn't like, comment about "eating lard is disgusting" because I come from the culture 🇺🇦 where eating lard is standard, lard has a lot if unique aminoacids that are good for your body. Disgusting is when a Russian soldier rapes a 10-month old baby, that's disgusting...

OOF. I have got to listen to the last episode and all future episodes regarding this! I had my thyroid removed and suffer in many aspects of life from the thyroid hormone imbalances. Thanks HLP for clear and reliable information!

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!! Love you!
