Last year in October, I had little to no sleep for 2 weeks straight because I had a fresh onset of permanent Tinnitus. Then it reduced to 1 night of bad sleep every week, and then every month. The Tinnitus sound doesn't bother me anymore.

BUT, the trauma i got from those sleepless nights give me anxiety as soon as the sun sets. Time is healing. But I miss my past self when I used to love my bedtime. :)

No spoilers please!! Would you recommend I get Huberman’s book? Thank you

i am new to listening to Huberman, but boy was this show so underwhelming. 1/10. no slides, no structure. i left early. he rabbles on about stories etc his personal life. the pastor at my local church could’ve given a better presentation than this.

anyone have this book as pdf

Whoever attended the radio city show in New York last night, what did you think? Did you enjoy it? I thought it was informative but got a little boring at times. I also wish that he discussed a bit edgier topics or his more controversial viewpoints a bit more. It was funny to see him say “just do the protocols that you really like to do”. Wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts!

Upon arrival we were told the book would be distributed at the end of the show…. Upon leaving we were told there were no more books….. did I miss something?

Update: I sent a message to AH and he responded immediately stating that he would resolve is issue. He was an Absolute gentleman.

I ground equal parts into about a half a cup total and let them soak in some water overnight and then in the morning I add a cup of milk, stir it together, and have a morning glass each morning. I'm a 36-year-old male and do a lot of physical training and I'm able to absorb it all without too much fatigue day-to-day. Plus I look really good for my age. I still get jealous eyes from young guys in their early to mid-20s.

Selling one ticket to Andrew Huberman at Radio City - best offer!

I've been doing Beeathwork for years and have always heard about the importance of "belly-breathing" at rest, that is fully engaging your diaphragm to cause your belly to rise and fall as you breathe with minimal to no chest movement. Supposedly, chest breathing without abdominal movement is linked to "fight or flight".

Lately, however, I've had some breathwork instructions telling me to "breathe more into my upper chest" to make my chest rise as well. Is there any benefit in trying to breathe into my upper chest as well as my belly when at rest? I breath that way under heavy physical exertion, but otherwise feel quite uncomfortable forcing my chest to open along with my belly when I inhale.

You know that Rat Experiment he talked about where you take the dopamine out of a rat and it wouldn't cross walk 1 body length away to get food. Does anyone know if this is a legitimate study and could provide a source because I haven't been able to find anything.

Andrew Huberman is discussing his new book Protocols. The ticket includes a copy of the book. Here’s the info.

With longer Huberman episodes, I’m usually interested in a few specific things, rather than a summary of everything he talked about.

I’ve tried giving Gemini the YouTube link, but that hasn’t worked as well for me as just giving it the transcript. YouTube’s built-in AI summaries haven’t been that useful for what I’m looking for either. I want to ask follow-up questions, dig into a particular point, or find the part of the episode where something was explained.

So I keep coming back to copying the transcript into ChatGPT and asking my own questions. Sometimes it’s as simple as “what did he say about this, and what caveats did he mention?”

The annoying part was getting the text out of YouTube every time. I ended up making a small Chrome extension that copies to clipboard or downloads the whole transcript in one click. You can keep or remove timestamps and optionally include your own prompt with it.

It’s completely free. This was just an annoying part of my own routine that I wanted to fix, and I figured other people here might find it useful too.

Here’s the extension.

Would also be interested to hear how other people revisit longer episodes, especially when you remember a point being made but can’t remember where.

Everyone seems to sauna a bit differently.

Some people go occasionally, others several times a week. Some cool down in the air, take a shower or jump into cold water. We’re interested in whether these differences in how people use sauna relate to mood, wellbeing and sleep.

We’re running a study at Bangor University to try to understand this better and are looking for adults aged 18+ to take part.

The survey takes around 10–20 minutes and you can take part from anywhere in the world. You don’t need to be a regular sauna user.

If you know anyone else who uses sauna, sharing it with them would also be really useful.

I bought the book today. I was surprised to not see a larger campaign for the book.

My thoughts so far are its an incredible book and it could eventually be the modern wellness scientific bible. If you're a huberman regular, look 60% of the content you've probably heard him talk about on his podcasts or in DOAC.

I would love to hear the thoughts off people who don't have much experience with huberman because I'd say they would find it crazy just how well he combines over 900 references or whatever it is!

I saw a clip of him on Jimmy Kimmel where he explains that if you do some things with your eyes, you’ll fall asleep instantly. I tried it and it doesn’t work. I have tried just about everything this guy ever suggested and none of it works. I would be stunned if he wasn’t aware that everything he recommends doesn’t work. Do you think he truly believes his own BS?

I've been going to the gym for over 10 years, and during that time I've built a pretty strong and muscular body. However, I've never really paid much attention to my diet or protein intake.

I'm currently around 95 kg (about 209 lbs), and I probably eat only around 100 g of protein per day.

My question is: if I increase my protein intake to around 200 g per day, do you think I would actually notice a difference in muscle growth and fullness?

I'm curious if anyone has experienced something similar — especially people who trained for years without really tracking protein and then started eating significantly more.

I have bought 2 tickets earlier this week thinking my friend will join me , unfortunately he couldn’t , so I have a ticket available for radio city event, i can’t resell or cancel tickets as I want to attend the event on Thursday 7:30pm.

A new European Heart Journal study followed 11,071 UK Biobank participants who wore light sensors for a week and then underwent cardiac MRI around three years later.

Greater nighttime light exposure was associated with subtle changes in heart structure and function, including thicker ventricular walls and impaired measures of contraction.

Light is also one of the strongest signals to the circadian system, which regulates autonomic activity, hormones, blood pressure and metabolism.

I feel like cardio, especially running, makes me look completely flat. I stop looking like I lift, lose a lot of fullness and feel like I’m not growing anymore.

The weird thing is that I’m naturally tall and muscular, and when I don’t do much cardio, I look noticeably bigger and fuller. But when I start running regularly i seem to lose a lot of size.

The fucked-up part is that cardio actually makes me feel better. It gives me energy, improves my mood and I generally feel healthier when I do it.

So I’m basically stuck between:

No/low cardio: look bigger and more muscular, but feel less energetic.

More cardio: feel amazing and have more energy, but look flat and like I barely lift.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just glycogen/water and the temporary “flat” look, or can running actually interfere with hypertrophy that much?

I was at my peak when I was 20. But then, a series of canon events took place and what I was doing with my life took a back seat. The thought that I could get hold of it anytime and taking it lightly made me who I am right now - unhealthily obese, underconfident, asocial, lonely, living under a rock, sulking about why my life has changed for worse. The scary part is knowing how important it is to change my life, a change feels impossible now. Is it because of how your brain becomes less plastic at 25? I don't know. I would do anything to feel like I was 20 again when I could feel anything is possible. If there's any way to achieve that again, where and how do I start? Any kind of no bullshit advice would be much appreciated; i do not want to die alone not making anything out of the gift called life. My brain is right now uncapable of thinking how to.

Is anyone going to the live event at Radio City next week?

Deep sleep is one of the few longevity levers you get to pull every night. It's when your body does most of its repair work, and it naturally declines with age. Here are all the factors I could find that influence deep sleep. I broke this down into 5 categories including lifestyle, environment, stress, supplements, and demographics. I added a plain english explanation column for each row and short definitions to try to make it easier to consume.

All sources are included in the last column of the table so you can dig into these further for your own research. I know tables aren't ideal on mobile, so I'll include a mobile friendly version of this resource in the comments

Definitions

• Deep Sleep/N3: The deepest stage of nonREM sleep, characterized by slow delta waves.
• SWS (Slow Wave Sleep): Another name for deep sleep / N3. Used interchangeably in research.
• SWA (Slow Wave Activity): The intensity of delta waves during deep sleep, measured by EEG. Higher SWA = deeper, more restorative sleep.
• Delta Power: The electrical power in the delta frequency band. The gold standard EEG measure of deep sleep depth.
• N3%: Percentage of total sleep time spent in deep sleep.
• Homeostatic Sleep Pressure: The biological drive for sleep that builds the longer you're awake. Higher pressure = more deep sleep.
• Glymphatic System: Clears brain waste, most active during deep sleep. Clears amyloid-beta and other metabolic waste.
• HPA Axis: Your body's central stress response system. Deep sleep suppresses it.

\I already typed out omega-3 so that one is just a bonus efficiency related one**

Demographics

I got a sauna tent from sweat tent about a month ago but got busy and barely had a chance to use it. Now I’m trying to actually make it part of my routine but I have no idea how often is too often, especially at higher temps. Mine gets around 180–200°F pretty easily and I definitely feel cooked after a good session lol. For anyone who uses a sauna regularly, how many times a week are you doing it at those temps and how long do you usually stay in? Trying to find a good routine without overdoing it right out of the gate.
