Huberman Lab

[ChazWood]

Andrew Huberman's podcast offers granular insight on topics relating to optimal mental and physical wellbeing. I like the word "optimal" cuz it doesn't imply a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I wanna say more, but my brain is not yet online. Probably optimal for u'z all, anyway.

Yesterday's podcast is an interview with Dr. Alia Crum, Associate (tenured) Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Mind & Body Lab.

My guest is Dr. Alia Crum, Associate (tenured) Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Mind & Body Lab. Dr. Crum is a world expert on mindsets and beliefs and how they shape our responses to stress, exercise, and even to the foods we eat. We discuss how our mindset about the nutritional content of food changes whether it is satisfying to us at a physiological (hormonal and metabolic) level. She also tells how mindsets about exercise can dramatically alter the effects of exercise on weight loss, blood pressure, and other health metrics. Dr. Crum teaches us how to think about stress in ways that allow stress to grow us and bring out our best rather than diminish our health and performance. Throughout the episode, Dr. Crum provides descriptions of high-quality peer-reviewed scientific findings that we can all leverage toward better health and performance in our lives.

Another YouTube channel I find insightful is Einzelgänger

Today's video touches on Stoic Philosophy and references Viktor Frankl and his profoundly moving book "Man's Search for Meaning".

Good vid. Stoicism is very appealing. Used to pull up these 3 hr long audiobooks by the dudes of old and listen as fell asleep, lol. Very good point at the end. As long as you have that, you're good (in a sense.)

Right on, Steffo. No way I could handle 3+ hours. My mind typically starts wandering after 30-45m, so I break down listening sessions into smaller chucks. I also re-listen to particularly relevant stuff to help it stick.

Repped. Good finds! I'm more than a little biased, but the brain is the engine of body (and soul).... good stuff!

True that, Dr PepperDude! One word: Biohacking. Another word: Ostrich. What do these two words have in common? Correct - absolutely nothing. And what's that? How aboot the opposite of something. And in it, the balance forming ying & yang and ultimately revealing universal harmony.

Oh wait, that could have been something I read online while shopping for new cars.

butt serially, Huberman Rocks in the brain engine dept. Frankly, what a trip it would be for u to be a guest on his podcast. Say the word and I'll pester him in his video comments. Come on Dude, let's take a shot at something surely positive! I know u want to.

I listened to my first Huberman podcast recently. Quality material! I'll certainly listen to more.

I need to check the other podcast out too. It's been a while since I read Frankl, but he talked about how the "why" you live empowers you to overcome great obstacles.

Right on, brother! It's like lifting. U don't do one set of an exercise and say "cool, I'm done". At our age our minds are typically deeply conditioned through experience and often limited perspective. For me, I've come to realize that a lot of that conditioning is sub optimal yet familiar and there's a perceived comfort in that. And while comfort is a nice place to visit, I wouldn't want to live there as It's like living with the handbrake stuck on. I hope that makes some sense.

These videos and the insight shared offer us the means to break out of familiar, sub-optimal patterns, but we gotta do the work. A wise Dude once said discipline is the key to freedom.

Today's video is from another cool channel and selected cuz its short and tight. Perfect I reckon for getting going on a cold Monday.

Sorry missed your comments! What a trip it would be indeed!
Lol I'd be down. I love me some Frankl, Harry Stack Sullivan, Ellis and everything in between. :P

Right on, brother! I'll PM u and we'll formulate our game plan. No expectations, but likely an adventure.


Today's clip is a brief, poignant segment of a lengthy discussion between Lex and Thomas Tull.

Just watched a fascinating interview on the Huberman Lab with Dr. David Spiegel on the use of hypnosis in a wide range of health treatments, and how it works on the mind and body.

My guest is Dr. David Spiegel MD, Associate Chair of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Director of the Center on Stress and Health and Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Spiegel has more than 40 years of clinical and research experience with hypnosis, stress physiology, and psychotherapy. In this episode, we examine the role of clinical hypnosis for the treatment of trauma, chronic pain, anxiety and more. Dr. Spiegel explains how to determine your level of ‘hypnotizability’ and provides case studies of incredible successes with hypnosis to treat a variety of ailments. We also discuss how breathing, vision and directed mental focus can modulate internal states and enhance performance. Additionally, we discuss how the adoption of self-hypnosis techniques can reduce stress and enhance sleep in anyone. Dr. Spiegel teaches us how hypnosis works at the neural circuit level to enhance cognitive flexibility. Throughout the episode, Dr. Spiegel summarizes key clinical trials and peer-reviewed findings and resources to work with a trained clinical professional or to do guided self-hypnosis.

The interview starts at 9:00 if you want to skip the into and sponsor section.




and a clip of Huberman being hypnotized which I saw first and sparked my curiously to watch the full interview.

Very interesting! Coué's method from 100 years ago appears to tie into ongoing discoveries into the complex and awe-inspiring mind/body connection. All of this is fascinating to me and I'm loving the process of exploration into the depths of human life science and psychology.

Please feel welcome to share anything you consider relevant.

Anyhow, the Byron "We are what we think" translation puts auto suggestion into a different perspective, don't you think?

I have no idea. Does that Byron dude have a Youtube channel?

Byron died in 1644. He has the most famous tranlation of THE DHAMMAPADA.

"We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world."

I don't know if you're arsing the dog or if you really aren't aware of this stuff. I'm game if you want to continue.

Dr. Andy Galpin: How to Build Strength, Muscle Size & Endurance | Huberman Lab Podcast #65



Have an optimal week, mah peeps!

[PhDPepper1111]

on spread. Long but worth it

[ChazWood]

on spread. Long but worth it

Cheers, brother. yeah, a lot of the stuff I already knew from mostly learning by trial and error and some observation. Definitely gained some new insight that will factor into my training protocols.

On the positive vibes front, u should check out this beautiful conversation between Lex and Rick Rubin. That Rick dude is so deep in his flow. It's energizing to witness.



and I reckon Lex is a little off his game, being in the presence of a Zen Master. Takes nothing away, in fact, Lex's vulnerability and humility are beautiful.

[ChazWood]

Gold.

Dr. Karl Deisseroth: Understanding & Healing the Mind

Dr. Karl Deisseroth, MD, PhD, is a Clinical Psychiatrist and scientist who directs a bioengineering research laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine. His work aims to understand and develop treatments for disorders of the mind such as depression, attention deficit disorders (ADHD & ADD), autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, eating disorders, borderline personality and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We discuss his experience treating his patients and his laboratory’s mission to find and develop cures for mental disease and tools for probing how the brain works.

I’m sticking with poor mental health, it’s underrated.
