In today’s episode, we cover a fascinating discussion by Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neurobiology and ophthalmology professor at Stanford University, on the effects of alcohol on the human body and brain. Huberman dives into everything from the chemistry of alcohol to its impacts on organs like the gut, liver, and brain. He explains how alcohol interacts with neurochemicals like serotonin and dopamine, influencing mood and potentially contributing to addiction. The episode also covers the science behind hangovers, ways to reduce their effects, and the long-term health risks of chronic drinking, including cancer. Huberman’s insights offer valuable guidance for making informed choices about alcohol and prioritizing overall wellness."

Dr. Mindy Pelz, a women's health expert, shares her insights on weight loss, metabolism, and hormonal health in an interview on the Jay Shetty Podcast. Pelz emphasizes the importance of eating real food free from chemicals and toxins, and fasting to help control cravings and improve metabolic health. She argues that the calorie-in, calorie-out model is flawed, and focusing on blood sugar regulation and the health of the gut microbiome is more effective. She also discusses the importance of protein and its role in hormone production, and the importance of lifestyle changes for women, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Pelz encourages listeners to be mindful of the information they consume and to take responsibility for their own health.

This excerpt from a ZOE podcast (link below) discusses the topic of protein intake and whether protein supplements like bars and shakes are beneficial. The podcast features a nutrition doctor who explains that the average person consumes more than enough protein through a healthy diet, and excessive protein intake can actually be detrimental to health. She emphasizes the importance of consuming whole foods rich in protein and fiber over processed foods and supplements. The podcast debunks common myths surrounding protein intake, such as the need to consume protein immediately after exercise and the idea that plant-based diets are insufficient in protein. Ultimately, the podcast encourages listeners to focus on consuming whole, unprocessed foods and to avoid the marketing hype surrounding protein supplements.

This synopsis of the Dr. Rangan Chatterjee interview with neuroscientist Mithu Storoni discusses the implications of a new era of knowledge work and the need to rethink productivity as a measure of quality rather than quantity. Storoni argues that we should design our work lives to match natural rhythms, focusing on intense mental work in short bursts and then shifting to lighter tasks. She suggests that the three "gears" of the brain, which represent different levels of mental activity, are a useful framework for understanding this concept. The interview also touches on how to use tools like napping, walking, and breathwork to upregulate and downregulate our brains, helping us optimize mental performance.

This is a summary of the Huberman Lab with 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.

They discuss the NAD pathway in human cells and its possible links to aging and health. They evaluate how supplementation can augment molecules in the NAD pathway; they compare NAD, NMN, and NR, different routes of administration, their safety, and bioavailability. Then, they 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, they each describe thier supplement regimens and compare the role of supplementation to behaviors such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise for longevity. They 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
