Native history. But if I go is still very much up in the air.
Really? Cool. I wonder if I’ve heard of him. And everyone in Indian country is related, haha, so maybe I would know who he is. Sinte Gleska is almost as far from me as Minneapolis though. I was just in Minneapolis over the weekend, and had the best cheesecake of my life from a grocery store bakery, haha. Wasn’t expecting that but I’ve been craving it ever since.
I got your back with the cheesecake. Check the food porn thread.
Oh no, that won’t happen. For a number of reasons. First, it’s completely dark here currently. If I’m going to work out at all, I need to be at it in the next few minutes, because shower time is 7:15. Coffee: it’s beside me currently, being enjoyed in prep for whatever it is I do in a few minutes. Waiting 90 minutes has me desperately gulping it during my 15 minute commute. IF doesn’t work for me because I’m in session starting at 9 and I have a really growly stomach. Etc.
I have changed a number of things, and the video I watched has influenced me as well in terms of weighing which of his protocols are for me.
But yeah, I magnesium threonate and L-theanine at night, skip the milk in my coffee to reduce to an 11 hour eating window, teach people the “physiological sigh” at work, and if appropriate, recommend the podcast. I just sent a young woman back to med school who attempted suicide in May, and she’s working her way through his mental health-focused topics (identity focused topics).
Totally understand. Mornings can be kinda hectic too when you’re trying to add new routines to the mix.
This is great info! Your ability to pick up new strategies and test them out is very inspiring, and it sounds like you had a massive effect on that young woman’s life. Reading that just blew me away!
Also sorry for the delay in writing back – I sometimes read posts in threads while on my phone (and answer back in my head lol) but then tell myself I’ll respond once I’m at my desk at a computer. So scatterbrained! Wonder if Huberman has a strategy for that haha!
That sounds incredible. Do you remember which one it was? That last episode on tenacity is sooo good and I’m only a third of the way through.
Huberman’s full morning protocol is definitely for people who work from home - I’m guessing he’s finishing his workout at around 11, which is when he eats his first meal, as far as I can tell. I’m almost halfway through my workday by then.
So the video I’m talking about here isn’t his, it’s a woman - Laura Try - following his daily routine for a month. It’s entertaining and I thought informative. I’ll add it to the post.
Currently I’m working my way through Dr. Paul Conti’s 4 part series on mental health. It’s so dense with ideas that I have to keep pausing and rewinding it. Sometimes I have to stop it and put music on so I can process the information, and just sort of…appreciate it. I have never been to a continuing ed training, which are required for me, that has given me as much solid information as a single Huberman episode, whether he’s interviewing or just talking on his own. So well researched, so much value.
My husband is a biomedical engineer and works for a manufacturer of research equipment that are mostly in universities. He regularly goes to Stanford, and recently to the NIH. I’ve joked that if he sees Huberman, I want him to give him a big hug for me. When he went to the NIH in August I reminded him to hug Huberman if he happened to be there (Huberman is involved in research study assessment groups there). He claims to have seen him, and said “I gave him a big kiss on the lips,” lol.
It sometimes takes me forever to get back to conversations, and I know I drop the ball completely regularly.
Burning question: how many eggs does everyone eat? Huberman and Peter Attia assure me that dietary cholesterol is not the boogeyman that we’ve been led to believe, but I dunno. I eat a LOT of eggs.
Should we have anxiety about this?
I eat 5-6 whole eggs+ 1cup egg whites every other day as a meal (cheap+ easy to make and eat+ very filling)
I used to do 8-10 whole eggs but I have a family history of high cholesterol and cutting down made a difference
I’m not sure how much whole egg consumption affects people w/o family history though or how much cholesterol really matters health wise for me since I consume low saturated fat (skinless chicken breast and basically no added fat) and am very active
Your numbers went down?
yeah. This is based on my numbers from the checkup in June. Cholestrol was still high, but lower than from a year ago when I was eating much more eggs w/ little change in rest of diet
I don’t. My understanding is that blood cholesterol is determined by the liver. The fats we eat are broken down, converted, and allocated for use from there.
And the cholesterol cycle, where it is reabsorbed in the digestive tract.
None. Its a lie.
They are right! As @SkyzykS mentioned dietary cholesterol is not such a big deal as long as you have a functioning liver. The liver naturally produces cholesterol (because we do need some) when there isn’t enough in the diet. When you eat more cholesterol it will down regulate its cholesterol production to maintain a homeostasis. If you’ve got high cholesterol, then maybe pull back to 1-2 eggs per day but for the most part dietary cholesterol isn’t a super huge factor in blood cholesterol levels. The biggest contributors are genetics, and on the nutrition side of things - refined carbs, added sugars and saturated fats - these things are especially guilty when consumed together - think processed foods. When you combine less than optimal fats with less than optimal carbs = cholesterol party.
To answer your question, my sister has chickens and I eat 2-3 eggs everyday and don’t even think about it.
Conundrum- A lot of cholesterol reducing diets recommended no more than 4 oz. of red meat per day, or meal or something.
My working theory on this is that increased bile production and excretion for digestion is the driver for this recomendation, as more cholesterol is available in the gut for absorption in the form of bile acids from eating foods that require more churning and acids to digest.
Does that sound about right or am I missing a couple links in that chain of events?
I think you’re just making up words. WTF is a bile?
That’s definitely part of it but I think that rec is more rooted in the fact that most folks aren’t eating lean cuts of red meat, so the saturated fat is a player. Also, pairings - so fatty burgers with fries, rib-eyes with baked potatoes slathered in butter and sour cream. That sat fat/carb combo in full force - it’s a wicked little combo.
Thank you. 
No im not! You are!
Its the tool used for strumming left handed harpsichords.
The issue with eggs and cholesterol…is who is telling the truth and who is lying
thats the conundrum, what is the truth
Government is lying
