    Optimal Protocols for Studying & Learning

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, I discuss science-supported protocols to optimize your depth and rate of learning of material and skills. I explain the neurobiology of learning and neuroplasticity and how correctly timed, self-directed test-taking can be leveraged to improve learning and prevent forgetting. I discuss the study habits of the most successful learners, ways to limit distractions, how to set study goals, and how tests can be used as tools to learn, not just as a means for evaluating one’s mastery of learned material. A surprising aspect of tests, specifically self-testing soon after exposure to new material, is that they can significantly improve your ability to learn, apply, and maintain new knowledge. I also discuss tools to improve focus and alertness while studying.By the end of this episode, you will have learned various science-supported actionable tools you can use to better learn, remember, and apply new information.Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, people mentioned, and additional resources at hubermanlab.com.Andrew's New BookProtocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body: https://protocolsbook.comThank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman Eight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/huberman Waking Up: https://wakingup.com/huberman LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Improve Studying & Learning00:02:11 Sponsors: Eight Sleep, BetterHelp & Waking Up00:06:45 Offsetting Forgetting00:08:22 Learning & Neuroplasticity00:13:06 Periodic Testing00:16:09 Focus & Alertness, Sleep, Tool: Active Engagement00:21:37 Tool: Improve Focus, Mindfulness Meditation, Perception Exercise00:24:38 Sleep & Neuroplasticity, Tool: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)00:28:29 Tools: Study Habits of Successful Students00:36:21 Sponsor: AG100:37:33 Studying & Aspiration Goals; Challenging Material00:42:54 Tool: Testing as a Learning Tool00:48:23 Self-Testing, Repeated Testing00:55:29 Testing Yourself & Knowledge Gaps01:01:11 Sponsor: LMNT01:02:23 New Material & Self-Test Timing01:07:21 Familiarity vs Mastery01:10:55 Self-Testing & Offsetting Forgetting01:15:53 Best Type of Self-Tests; Phone & Post-Learning Distractions01:22:03 Tool: Gap Effects; Testing as Studying vs. Evaluation01:25:40 Tool: Emotion & Learning, PTSD, Deliberate Cold Exposure, Caffeine01:33:28 Tool: Interleaving Information; Unskilled, Mastery & Virtuosity01:39:10 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer

    Dr. Layne Norton: Tools for Nutrition & Fitness

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Layne Norton, Ph.D., one of the world’s top experts in nutrition and training for physical fitness. We discuss how to evaluate scientific evidence and the validity of different practices aimed at achieving fat loss, muscle strength and hypertrophy, microbiome health, vitality, and longevity.We explore many hotly debated topics, including fasting, seed oils, saturated fats, sugar, red meat, artificial/low-calorie sweeteners, and GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Ozempic). Additionally, we delve into the timing of protein and carbohydrate intake relative to fasting and exercise, fat loss and sleep, and the benefits of dietary protein and fiber on overall health.We also discuss how to accelerate hypertrophy and fat loss, improve strength, whether we need to train to “failure,” how to enhance exercise recovery, and how to manage pain. We cover training before versus after age 50, whether metabolism changes with age, and the connection between muscle health and longevity. We also address why certain behaviors and supplements might work for some people but not others.Listeners to this episode will benefit greatly from Layne’s science-based expertise on a wide range of topics, including health, nutrition, and fitness.Access the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanMateina: https://drinkmateina.com/hubermanEight Sleep: https://www.eightsleep.com/hubermanMaui Nui: https://mauinuivenison.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanTimestamps00:00:00 Dr. Layne Norton00:01:49 Sponsors: Mateina, Eight Sleep, Maui Nui00:06:39 Science-Based Evidence, Mechanism vs. Outcome00:14:31 Meta-analysis, Methods, Evidence Quality00:22:45 Evidence Hierarchy, Randomized Controlled Trials, Cohort Data00:33:53 Sponsor: AG100:35:05 “Don’t Turn Your Brain Off”; Protein Synthesis00:42:01 Protein Synthesis, Refractory Response; Resistance Training 00:46:05 Protein Intake, Intermittent Fasting & Training00:54:52 Tool: Total Protein Intake, Distribution & Protein Synthesis01:00:25 Muscle Quality, Protein Remodeling, Muscle Growth01:05:34 Sponsor: LMNT01:06:46 Early vs. Late Time-Restricted Eating; Fasting Blood Glucose & HbA1c01:10:30 Carbohydrate Timing, Individual Response, Placebo; Tool: Tracking Diet01:19:50 “The Norton Method”; Tool: Consistency01:25:16 Resistance & Cardiovascular Training; Competition; Immune System & Rest01:33:50 Mind & Body Effects, Stress; Belief Effects01:41:30 Training to Failure, Reps in Reserve, Hypertrophy & Strength Training01:50:24 Fatigue & Training to Failure, Speed, Strength Training01:59:06 Tool: Training After 50, Consistency02:09:12 Fat Cells, Diabetes, Exercise02:16:50 Metabolism & Age-Related Changes?, Appetite02:23:17 Ozempic, Mounjaro, GLP-1 Agonists, Lean Mass, “Food Noise”02:33:42 GLP-1 Agonists, Judgement & Obesity02:40:19 Sugar, Excess Calories, Body Weight02:49:16 Satiety, Sugar & Calorie Budget02:54:56 Tool: Individualization, Context & Diet Psychology02:57:22 Seed Oils, Butter, Olive Oil03:06:56 Red Meat, Carcinogenic?; Simple Diet; Fiber Benefits03:13:43 Saturated Fat, Cholesterol; Seed Oils03:18:41 Artificial & Low-Calorie Sweeteners, Insulin, Appetite03:29:06 Artificial & Low-Calorie Sweeteners, Gut Microbiome; Cancer03:37:58 Tools: Training Recovery, Glycogen Replenishment; Stress & Activity03:45:56 Collagen Supplementation, Skin & Nails, Whey Protein03:57:00 Evidence-Based Approach04:01:41 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer & Disclosures

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Peter Attia, M.D., a Stanford and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine-trained physician expert in improving human healthspan and lifespan. Dr. Attia is also the host of The Drive podcast and author of the best-selling book Outlive. We discuss the NAD pathway in human cells and its possible links to aging and health. We evaluate how supplementation can augment molecules in the NAD pathway; we compare NAD, NMN, and NR, different routes of administration, their safety, and bioavailability. Then, we discuss the broader research and clinical literature on longevity to decide if supplementation with NAD, NR, NMN, rapamycin, or resveratrol can indeed extend lifespan. Finally, we each describe our supplement regimens and compare the role of supplementation to behaviors such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise for longevity. We also discuss whether tests of biological age are true indicators of aging and whether normal radiation levels increase cancer risk. Listeners of this episode will learn if supplements purported to improve lifespan show any efficacy and the behaviors and other factors that can prevent disease and extend lifespan.Access the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman Levels: https://levels.link/huberman Eight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Dr. Peter Attia, NAD Pathway00:02:31 Sponsors: LMNT, Levels & Eight Sleep00:06:38 Categories of Longevity Approaches00:17:22 Peter’s Supplements; Rapamycin & Research Data00:25:01 NAD Pathway: Energy & DNA Repair; Knock-Out & Knock-In, Klotho00:30:35 Sponsor: AG100:32:25 Yeast, Sirtuins, Caloric Restriction & Lifespan00:38:56 Sirtuins, Transgenic Mice, Gender & Lifespan00:43:42 DNA Repair, Sirtuins, Cancer; Resveratrol00:53:31 Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin Podcast00:54:18 NAD & NADH, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Mitochondrial Health01:02:17 NAD vs NR vs NMN Supplementation; IV & Oral Routes01:11:33 NR vs. NMN, Doses, Side Effects; Interventions Testing Program01:17:43 Fatty Liver Disease & NR; NMN & Glucose; Clinical Significance01:25:17 Safety & FDA, NMN & NR Supplementation; Skin Cancer Benefits01:30:38 Longevity, NR & NMN Supplementation, Inflammation01:41:00 Rapamycin & Immune Function01:44:37 Biological Aging Tests, Chronologic & Biologic Age; Vigor 01:55:24 Radiation & Cancer Risk01:58:12 Tool: Self-Care in 50s-70s & Aging; Energy Decline02:07:12 Tool: Exercise Timing & Energy Levels02:11:22 Peter’s Supplements02:18:46 Andrew’s Supplements02:24:34 Tool: Supplement Use vs. Critical Behaviors; Titanic Analogy 02:26:52 NAD Pathway Supplementation for Longevity?02:28:52 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer

    How to Improve Skin Health & Appearance

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, I discuss skin health and appearance and why both are important indicators of the health status of your immune system, gut microbiome, and other organ systems. I explain why sunlight is essential for skin and hormone health and how excessive sunlight can accelerate skin aging and cause certain skin cancers. I discuss the different types of sunscreens (physical, chemical, and mineral-based) and potential health concerns of the chemicals found in some (but not all) sunscreens.I also discuss the importance of getting your skin (and not just moles) checked for pre-cancerous and cancer growths, the role of nutrition and lifestyle factors that improve skin health and appearance, and how to improve your skin by reducing local and systemic inflammation and supporting your microbiome. I explain what works to improve your skin's youthfulness and appearance, including reducing wrinkles, sagging, and pore size. I review the data on ingesting (or topically applied) collagen, vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and retinol, and what is known about the use of peptides (e.g., BPC-157, copper peptides) and red and far-red light phototherapies for improving skin health and appearance.I also discuss the causes of acne, rosacea, and psoriasis and explain nutritional, skin care, and prescription-based approaches to treating these common skin conditions.This episode ought to help everyone better understand the biology of the skin and help them make the best possible decisions for their skin health, care, and appearance according to age, goals, and current skin conditions.Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, people mentioned, and additional resources at hubermanlab.com.Andrew's New BookProtocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body: https://protocolsbook.comThank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanJoovv: https://joovv.com/hubermanBetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/huberman ROKA: https://roka.com/huberman LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Skin Health00:02:59 Sponsors: Joovv, BetterHelp & ROKA 00:07:18 Skin Biology, Skin Layers00:12:40 Sun Exposure, UV Light & Skin Cancers; Sunscreen00:19:51 Aging, Sun Exposure, Skin Cancers, Physical Barriers00:27:24 Sunburn & Skin Cancers00:30:09 Sponsor: AG100:31:58 Vitamin D, Sun Exposure & Sunscreen00:36:50 Organic (Chemical) Sunscreen & Inorganic (Mineral-Based) Sunscreen00:49:20 Skin Cancers, Moles, Laser Resurfacing00:53:59 Sponsor: LMNT00:55:34 Sun Exposure, Melanoma & Life Expectancy01:03:13 Tool: Youthful Skin, Collagen & Vitamin C01:12:55 Peptides, BPC-157, Copper01:20:58 Tool: Niacinamide (Nicotinamide), Youthful Skin, Dark Spots, Hyaluronic Acid01:26:25 Tool: Retinol (Retin-A, Tretinoin, Retinyl Esters), Youthful Skin01:33:07 Tool: Phototherapy, Youthful Skin, Treating Skin Conditions01:41:10 Tool: Nutrition for Skin Health, Anti-Inflammatory Diets01:47:54 Highly Processed Foods, Advanced Glycation End Products & Skin Health01:52:08 Tools: Reduce Inflammation: Gut Microbiome, Sleep, Alcohol, Smoking, Stress01:58:58 Acne, Hormones & Insulin; Tool: Low Glycemic Diet, Dairy02:07:26 Tools: Face Cleansing & Acne; Scarring & Popping Pimples02:13:29 Tool: Treating Rosacea, Alcohol, Skin Care, Nutrition02:18:31 Stubborn Rosacea, Over Cleansing, Pulsed Dye Laser02:21:04 Psoriasis Treatment, Immune System & Prescriptions02:25:24 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer

    Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: How to Exercise & Eat for Optimal Health & Longevity

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, D.O., a board-certified physician who did her clinical and research training at Washington University in geriatrics and nutrition. She is also an expert in how diet and exercise impact muscle and whole-body health and longevity. Dr. Lyon is a bestselling author and public educator. We discuss how healthy skeletal muscle promotes longevity, brain health, disease prevention, ideal body composition, and the health of other organs and bodily systems.She makes specific nutritional recommendations for optimal health: what to eat, how much to eat, the timing of meals, the essential need for adequate quality protein (including animal and plant-based options), supplementation, and how our dietary requirements change with age. She explains why specific types of resistance training are essential to build and maintain muscle and overall metabolic health. She also describes how to include resistance training as part of your exercise regimen — regardless of age or sex. She also provides specific mindset tools to encourage sustained adherence to healthy eating and exercise practices. Women and men of all ages will benefit from Dr. Lyon’s practical, evidence-based protocols to improve muscle and whole-body appearance, function, and health.Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, people mentioned, and additional resources at hubermanlab.com.Andrew's New BookProtocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body: https://protocolsbook.comThank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanMaui Nui Venison: https://mauinuivenison.com/huberman Levels: https://levels.link/huberman Helix Sleep: https://helixsleep.com/hubermanInsideTracker: https://insidetracker.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Protocols Book; Dr. Gabrielle Lyon00:03:23 Sponsors: Maui Nui, Levels & Helix Sleep00:07:40 Skeletal Muscle & Longevity00:11:25 “Under-muscled”, Leucine & Muscle Health00:15:55 Muscle Health00:19:45 Tool: Carbohydrate Consumption & Activity, Glycogen00:25:14 Tools: Nutrition for Healthy Skeletal Muscle, First Meal00:31:57 Sponsor: AG100:33:46 Quality Protein, Animal & Plant-Based Proteins00:37:36 Dietary Protein Recommendations, Meal Threshold00:41:19 Muscle Health & Aging00:46:02 Supplements & Creatine; Dietary Protein00:50:07 Tool: Dietary Protein Recommendation; Gout & Cancer Risk00:52:43 Effects of Dietary Protein & Exercise on Body Composition01:03:06 Thermic Effects, Protein 01:05:02 Sponsor: InsideTracker01:06:14 Protein & Satiety, Insulin & Glucose01:12:04 Tool: Older Adults, Resistance Training & Dietary Protein01:17:48 Dietary Protein, mTOR & Cancer Risk01:21:36 Muscle Span & Aging, Sedentary Behaviors01:24:00 Mixed Meals, Protein Quality, Fiber01:29:21 Inactivity & Insulin Resistance, Inflammation01:38:43 Exercise & Myokines, Brain Health & BDNF01:44:11 Tool: Resistance Training Protocols, Hypertrophy, “High Ground”01:52:51 High Ground Exercises; Tendon Strength; Training Duration, Blue Zones01:58:19 Movement, Exercise & Older Adults02:04:25 Tool: Protein Timing & Resistance Training; VO2 Max, Aging, Blood Work02:11:13 Supplements: Creatine, Urolithin A, Whey Protein, Fish Oil, Collagen02:20:18 Fasting, Older Adults; Tool: Meal Timing02:25:18 Animal Proteins & Dairy; Organ Meats, Vegan; Magnesium, Zinc02:30:59 Medications & Muscle Health02:32:49 Obesity & GLP-1 Analogs, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Skeletal Muscle02:40:48 Benefits of Skeletal Muscle & Aging02:42:16 Tools: Nutrition & Resistance Training for Muscle Health02:45:44 Mindset Tools: Standards vs. Goals; Vulnerability Points02:52:00 Mindset Tools: Neutrality; Health & Worth03:01:14 Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter, Protocols BookDisclaimer
