  • Podkasten Hjernesterk har fått et lytterspørsmål fra en meget aktiv fysioterapeut som i utgangspunktet lever et sundt og bra liv, men som allikevel ønsker å kvitte seg med uvanen det er å spise 100 gram sjokolade om dagen. Hva er det som skaper en vane og hvordan eventuelt venne seg av med en uvane? Ole Petter og Mads tar opp spørsmålet og gir noen råd relatert til å skape en ny og bedre vane.

  • I dag skal vi snakke om fordøyelsen! Og denne fantastiske merkelige tarmkanalen som strekker seg metervis og gjør så mye bra for oss, men også dessverre gir en del mennesker plager. Med meg til å snakke om dette er ingen ringere enn dyktige ernæringsbiolog Marit Kolby, og dagens episode vil presentere et lite univers av informasjon. Vi skal snakke om hvordan fordøyelsen vår fungerer fra start til slutt, hvordan tarmbakteriene spiller en viktig rolle og hva vi kan gjøre for at både fordøyelsen og tarmbakteriene våre har det bra!


    Dette vil vi gå inn på i dagens episode:

    Hva skjer når vi tygger maten?Hvorfor kan maten vi spiser ende i magesekken selv om vi står på hodet?Hvordan virker ultraprosessert mat på fordøyelsen?Hvorfor synes Marit at magesekken er et så kult organ?Hvorfor ødelegges ikke magesekken av denne saltsyren som magen produserer? Er det skadelig å få for mye bakterievekst i tynntarmen?Hvorfor er tynntarmen så utrolig lang?Hvorfor skiller tarmen ut antimikrobielle stoffer?Hvorfor er tykktarmen vår full av bakterier?Hvordan kan enkelte ørkenrotter spise giftig mat? Og hvordan er det koblet til tarmfloraen vår?Hvordan påvirker tarmflora helsen vår?Hvordan få en tarmflora som er mangfoldig og bra for oss?Hvorfor er det utdatert å se på depresjon og angst som bare en psykisk lidelse?Hvordan kan man øke bakteriemangfoldet i tarmen vår?Hva er Anna Karenina prinsippet?Hva gjør Marit for å redusere stresset i hverdagen? Hvordan kan vi få bedre fordøyelse?

    Dette og litt til går vi inn på i dagens episode!


    Ønsker deg en skikkelig fin uke!


    Alt godt,

    Annette

  • I ukens episode er jeg så heldig å ha Hanne-Lene Dahlgren som gjest! Hanne-lene er også kjent som forfatteren bak bøkene “En skikkelig digg kokebok 1+2”, kvinnen bak profilen @hannelenesvegetar, programlederen på matkanalen og stemmen bak podcasten “En skikkelig digg fremtid”. Denne kvinnen har mange baller i lufta og har i tillegg satt seg et mål- redusere Norges kjøttkonsum med 30% innen 2025. 


    Vi har alle forskjellige matpreferanser, men det er ingen tvil i at ved å velge mer grønt i hverdagen vil dette ha utallige helsefremmende effekter på oss! Og det som er så bra er at det også vil være bra for planeten vår! Vinn vinn!


    Så i dag gir vi råd til hvordan man enkelt kan få i seg mer grønt i hverdagen, middager som Hanne-Lene elsker, om dyrevelferd, om matskam, hortulanen, og ja- om livet. :)

  • In this episode, my guest is Susanna Søberg, PhD. She earned her doctoral degree at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, researching the effects of deliberate cold and deliberate heat exposure on metabolism and other aspects of human physiology. We discuss how cold or sauna can improve metabolism, cardiovascular and brain health, balance hormones, and decrease inflammation. Dr. Søberg discusses how deliberate cold protocols can improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity and trigger release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine which enhance energy, mood, and focus. We compare cold showers and cold immersion, traditional and infrared saunas, and other variables. This episode provides actionable tools and answers to common questions about the use of deliberate cold and heat to improve health.For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1 (Athletic Greens): https://athleticgreens.com/hubermanPlunge: https://plunge.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanWaking Up: https://www.wakingup.com/hubermanMomentous: https://www.livemomentous.com/hubermanThe Brain Body ContractTickets: https://hubermanlab.com/tourTimestamps(00:00:00) Dr. Susanna Søberg(00:03:39) Sponsors: Plunge, LMNT & Waking Up(00:06:49) The Brain-Body Contract(00:07:40) Physiology in Uncomfortably Cold Environments(00:12:05) Tool: Water Temperature, “Cold Shock” & Discomfort(00:17:37) Cold Showers vs. Immersion in Water, Brown Fat(00:22:11) Cold Receptors, Brown Fat & Temperature Homeostasis(00:25:22) Shiver, “After Drop”, Healthy Stress(00:31:08) Long-Term Health Benefits of Deliberate Cold Exposure(00:31:51) Sponsor: AG1(00:37:02) Blood Pressure & Heath(00:38:26) Brown Fat, Insulin Sensitivity & Metabolism(00:45:07) Temperature Regulation, Brown Fat vs. White Fat(00:52:26) Cold Resilience, Scandinavia(01:00:16) Winter Swimmers & Brown Fat; Discomfort(01:10:28) Sex differences & Brown Fat, Cold-Adapted(01:15:21) Diving Reflex & Parasympathetic Activation(01:18:44) Tool: Deliberate Cold & Sauna Protocol(01:23:11) Winter Swimmers, Shiver; Circadian Rhythm & Brown Fat(01:31:14) Tool: Minimum Threshold for Cold & Heat; Sauna & Cardiovascular Health(01:35:19) Tool: Maintaining Stimulus when Cold-Adapted; Shorter Sessions(01:38:09) Cold Exposure, Sleep Quality, Clothing(01:47:37) “Brown Fat Negative” & Shiver(01:52:13) Cold & Heat, Inflammation Reduction(01:55:40) Tool: “Soberg Principle”: End on Cold, Metabolism(01:59:39) Cold Exposure: Fed or Fasted?(02:00:32) Raynaud’s Syndrome; Hand/Feet Protection in Cold(02:05:21) Tool: Headache & Cold Exposure; Head Submersion & Head Coverings(02:11:29) Children & Hypothermia Risk(02:17:16) Gender Differences & Cold Exposure(02:19:57) Tool: Brief, Repeated Temperature Changes; Circadian Rhythm & Temperature(2:27:53) Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike BlabacDisclaimer

  • In this episode, my guest is Satchin Panda, PhD, professor and the director of the Regulatory Biology Laboratories at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. We discuss his lab’s discovery that “time-restricted eating” (TRE) aka intermittent fasting, is beneficial effects for metabolic health and longevity. Dr. Panda explains how TRE, and also longer fasts, can positively impact obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular health, age-related chronic diseases, and improve mood and cognitive performance. He also describes how the timing of eating, light exposure and exercise that ~50% of all people engage in, negatively impacts their health and explains how specific simple adjustments to these can positively shift their subjective feelings of health and biomarkers of cardiovascular function, glucose regulation and metabolism. We discuss how our circadian behaviors, which include our patterns of eating, sleeping and socializing, have an enormous impact on our biology, mood and health and how by simply confining our calorie consumption to a semi-regular daily window, can positively impact our physical health, mental health and longevity.For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://athleticgreens.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanSupplements from Momentoushttps://www.livemomentous.com/hubermanTimestamps(00:00:00) Dr. Satchin Panda(00:03:18) Sponsor: LMNT(00:07:24) Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), Calorie Restriction (CR) & Health(00:14:38) Mealtimes & Circadian Clock(00:21:34) Circadian Rhythm, Meal Anticipation, Digestion(00:25:28) Breaking a Fast, Burning Fat(00:28:45) Sponsor: AG1(00:34:04) CR, Time Restricted Eating, Circadian Rhythm & Longevity(00:47:20) Gender, Hormones & CR; Relative Energy Deficient in Sports (REDS)(00:52:40) Physical Activity, Nutrition & Feeding Window(00:59:04) Nutrition Timing, Quality & Quantity; Low- Carbohydrate Diet(01:03:00) Caffeine, Nighttime Socialization, Fire, Breakfast(01:16:20) Circadian Rhythm, “Night Owls” & Genetics(01:26:37) Morning vs. Nighttime Discussions, “Me Time”(01:30:08) Light Sensitivity & “Night Owls”; Puberty, Melatonin(01:36:05) Shift Workers, Health & Disease(01:45:43) Artificial Lights, Young Adults & Sleep, Metabolic Dysfunction(01:50:59) Firefighters, Sleep & TRE; Cardiovascular Health, Blood Glucose(02:05:18) Shift Workers & Sleep; Alcohol & Caffeine(02:09:15) 12- Hour Feeding Window for Adults & Children, Sleep(02:22:10) Meal Timing(02:25:20) “Complete Fast”, Longer Fasts, Physical Health & Mental Health(02:28:12) “Fat Fasting”, Blood Glucose & Insulin(02:31:57) Fasting, Metformin, Rapamycin & Longevity; Human Applicability?(02:39:14) Circadian Rhythm & Metabolism(02:41:36) Ontime Health App, Circadian Clock App(02:46:17) Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Sponsors, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike BlabacDisclaimer

  • In this episode, I discuss our body’s most vital and essential nutrient—water. I explain the structure of water and how it is used by the cells and tissues of our body, how much water we each need to drink and when in order to optimize our mental focus and physical performance; and I include how exercise, humidity, heat, and caffeine affect our hydration needs. I explain how temperature and pH influence water’s physical properties and if there is any scientific basis for drinking so-called “pH water” or “alkalized water” to improve health. I explain how to test your tap water for contaminants (e.g., endocrine disruptors) and the documented problems with fluoride in drinking water. I provide options for filtering drinking water and describe different water types (e.g., reverse osmosis, hydrogen-enriched, electrolyzed reduced, deuterium depleted, etc.). Since the human body is mostly water (55-80% depending on one’s age) and water has essential roles in health, disease and cellular function, everyone ought to benefit from understanding how best to clean our tap water, hydrate effectively and in some cases, adjust the type of water we drink to allow our brain and body to function optimally in regard to health and performance.For recommended water filters, tests and the full show notes, please visit hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://athleticgreens.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanSupplements from Momentoushttps://www.livemomentous.com/hubermanTimestamps(00:00:00) Water(00:03:33) Tool Deliberate Cold Exposure, Immersion & Showers Mood & Fat Loss(00:15:42) Sponsor: LMNT(00:19:27) Water: Physical Properties & Chemistry(00:26:32) Bonds & Water Phases, “Structured Water”(00:32:38) Sponsor: AG1(00:34:07) Body, Cells & Water(00:37:37) Water as a Solvent, Temperature & pH(00:41:49) Water Transport in Cells, Aquaporin Channels(00:49:46) Alkaline/pH Water; Temperature, pH & Water Transport(00:55:14) Water Cellular Function, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) & Antioxidants(01:02:38) Tool: Baseline Hydration(01:11:35) Tool: Hydration & Exercise, Galpin Equation(01:15:40) Tool: Hydration, Sauna, Humidity & Sweat; Thirst, Caffeine(01:19:15) Hydration; Cognitive & Physical Performance (01:23:53) Tool: Water Filtration; Nighttime Urination(01:29:35) Tap Water Tests, Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs), Fluoride & Thyroid Health(01:37:18) Tool: Water Filters(01:44:18) Tool: Resting Tap Water & Sediment(01:48:13) Tool: “Hard Water”; Magnesium, Calcium & Cardiovascular Health(01:53:40) Water Temperature(01:56:42) Water Types: Distilled, Reverse Osmosis, Hydrogen-Enriched(02:03:26) Hydrogen-Enriched Water, Magnesium, Optimize Hydration(02:11:13) Tool: Molecular Hydrogen Tablets, Water pH(02:14:05) Structured Water(02:16:39) Tool: Water Pipes, Faucet Filter(02:19:42) Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Sponsors, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike BlabacDisclaimer

  • My guest is Sam Harris, Ph.D. Sam earned his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Stanford University and his doctorate (Ph.D.) in neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is the author of multiple best-selling books and is a world-renowned public-facing intellectual on meditation, consciousness, free will, psychedelics and neuroscience. He is also the creator of Waking Up and the host of the "Making Sense" podcast. In this episode, we discuss meditation as a route to understanding “the self” and experiencing consciousness, not just changing one’s conscious state. Sam describes several meditation techniques and their benefits, including how meditation fundamentally changes our worldview and how it can be merged seamlessly into daily life. It can help us overcome universal challenges such as distractibility and persistent, internal dialogue (“chatter”) to allow for deep contentment and pervasive shifts in our awareness, all while acknowledging the more immediate stress-lowering and memory-improving effects of meditation. We also discuss the therapeutic use of psychedelics and the mechanistic similarities between the benefits of a psychedelic journey and long-term meditation practices. And we discuss the rationale behind Sam’s recent decision to close his social media (Twitter) account. This episode should interest anyone wanting to learn more about the higher order functions of the brain, the brain-body connection, consciousness and, of course, meditation and why and how to meditate for maximum benefit.For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://athleticgreens.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanMomentous: https://www.livemomentous.com/hubermanHuberman Lab Premiumhttps://hubermanlab.com/premiumTimestamps(00:00:00) Dr. Sam Harris (00:04:54) Sponsor: LMNT(00:08:54) Sense of Self & Meditation, Dualism of Self(00:18:07) Sense of Self in Brain & Body (00:25:28) Consciousness vs. Contents, Meditation(00:28:25) Interrupting Sense of Self & Attentional Focus, Visual Saccade (00:33:30) Observer & Actor, Default Mode Network & Meditation, Blind Spot(00:36:52) Sponsor: AG1(00:41:57) Mediation & Paths to Understanding Consciousness, Non-Dualistic Experience(00:57:32) Sense of Self throughout Evolution (01:07:40) Sense of Self from Human Development, Language(01:19:46) Internal Dialogue, Distractibility & Mindfulness (01:26:27) Time Perception & Mindfulness, Vipassana Meditation, Resistance & Pain(01:37:13) Consciousness & Sense of Control, Free Will(01:43:14) Authoring Thoughts: Storytelling & Ideas, Free Will(01:52:11) Meditation & the Paradoxical Search for Self(02:06:44) Meditation & Concentration Practice (02:11:58) Mindfulness, “Skylike Mind” & Thoughts(02:15:11) States of Self & Context, Dualistic Experiences(02:32:39) Distraction & Identification of Thoughts, Meditation & “Flow” States(02:42:58) Eyes-Open Meditations, Sense of Self, Visual Cues & Social Interactions(02:54:59) Paths to Meditation, Mindfulness Meditation Step-Functions(03:05:58) Psychedelics, MDMA & Experiences in Consciousness, Religion(03:21:11) Meditation, Psychedelic Journeys & Inner Truths(03:29:48) Psilocybin, Ego-Dissolution & Thought Expansion(03:40:09) Process vs. Achievement of Goals, Fulfillment in Present(03:54:29) Leaving Twitter; Conflict, Life Interruption & Politics (04:06:14) Social Media, Attentional Disruption & Deep Work(04:15:39) Meditation & Sense of Self(04:19:02) Sam Harris & Waking Up App, Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimerTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac

  • In this episode, I discuss the physiological effects that drinking alcohol has on the brain and body at different levels of consumption and over time. I also describe genetic differences that predispose certain individuals to alcoholism, binge and habit-drinking. I explain alcohol metabolism in simple terms and how it effectively acts as a poison, leading to cellular stress and damage. I then explain that it impacts neuronal function and changes our thinking and behavior – hallmarks of inebriation. I also discuss how alcohol consumption of different amounts impacts inflammation, stress, neurodegeneration, and cancer risk and negatively impacts the gut microbiome, brain thickness, hormone balance, mood and feelings of motivation. Additionally, I discuss the biology of hangovers and describe science-based strategies to mitigate the severity of a hangover. Since alcohol is one of the most widely consumed recreational substances, this episode ought to be of relevance to everyone. Indeed, even low-to-moderate alcohol consumption negatively impacts the brain and body in direct ways. The goal of this episode is to help people make informed decisions about their alcohol consumption that are in keeping with their mental and physical health goals.

  • I describe mechanisms by which deliberate cold exposure can enhance mental health, physical health, and performance. I detail specific protocols to safely engage in deliberate cold exposure, including minimal exposure times, time-of-day effects, determining optimal temperatures, recovery, mindset, and movement during cold exposure. I discuss how cold exposure can be used to safely stress the body to improve attention, mood, and cognitive focus and boost metabolism and reduce inflammation. Also, I explain how cold exposure on specific regions of the body (called glabrous skin surfaces) can be leveraged to enhance endurance and weight training and increase work output.

  • This episode serves as a sort of “Dopamine Masterclass”. I discuss the immensely powerful chemical that we all make in our brain and body: dopamine. I describe what it does and the neural circuits involved. I explain dopamine peaks and baselines, and the cell biology of dopamine depletion. I include 14 tools for how to control your dopamine release for sake of motivation, focus, avoiding and combating addiction and depression, and I explain why dopamine stacking with chemicals and behaviors inevitably leads to states of underwhelm and poor performance. I explain how to achieve sustained increases in baseline dopamine, compounds that injure and protect dopamine neurons including caffeine from specific sources. I describe non-prescription supplements for increasing dopamine—both their benefits and risks—and synergy of pro-dopamine supplements with those that increase acetylcholine.

    Keith Flaherty is the director of clinical research at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and a previous guest on The Drive. In this episode, Keith first delves into the statistics on cancer's prevalence as we age, underscoring the significance of finding effective treatments and early detection methodologies. He touches on the history of cancer therapeutics and illuminates the notable enhancements in cancer therapy within the last decade that are setting the stage for a promising future. He goes into detail on the potential of immunotherapy and therapies that can combat cancer’s evasive tactics while explaining some of the existing challenges around specificity, cost, and scalability. Additionally, Keith highlights the significant leap in early detection methodologies, namely liquid biopsies, which have the potential not only to determine if a cancer is present in an early stage, but also identify the possible tissue of origin.

    Oliver Burkeman is the author of The New York Times best-seller Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. In this episode, Oliver delves into the pervasive idea that time can be mastered, exploring whether maximizing productivity is an attainable goal or a perpetual trap. He discusses the allure of attempting to control time—and, therefore, the future—and shares his personal journey of experimenting with diverse time management techniques that failed to deliver the emotional satisfaction he sought. Ultimately, they explore the mismatch between being a finite human and existing in a world of infinite possibilities and how all of these concepts intertwine with finding a sense of purpose and meaning. Additionally, Oliver shares insights from his book on productivity, using our time wisely, and embracing our finitude to live a more fulfilling life.
