Brief summary: 1) Get sunlight to your eyes for 2-10 minutes when you wake up. 2) Spend two hours outdoors without sunglasses. Every day. 3) Windows are filtering a lot of the light, so it is better to look out directly. 4) For every 90 Minutes of close work. Look out for 20-30 minutes. 5) Looking up creates alertness. If you feel sleepy, look up instead of puting your head below. Though I think it is more of a productivity tip, I don't know how it will improve eye sight. 6) Sleep in fully black room. 7) Looking things in very far, on the horizon, is very hepful. 8) Looking at moving objects and tracking them with eye is helpful. 9) Look an object near you, a pen, for 10 seconds than put it far away for 10 seconds. Then get it near. Do it for 3 minutes or so. 10) In early hours of day, looking at very bright, flashy things can be helpful. Though, findings are new and it look risky tbh. 11) Blinking is very helpful. 12) Buying a snelling chart and tracking your improvement can be helpful.
I just read an article that said UV rays can be harmful to your eyes and cause cataracts. Their solution was to never go outside without sunglasses or blue blocking glasses.
Watched the whole podcast, been doing the suggested eye exercises and sunlight advice for almost a week and my astigmatism has become less noticeable. My vision has become more sharper and certain objects in my room became bit more clearer without my prescription glasses. Thank you Andrew Huberman, I am grateful for your free content and your unselfishness contribution to uploading many educational podcasts for us to watch.
Andrew Huberman PhD is generously circumventing the old, out of date information cartel hierarchies. We can rejoice. And we should be grateful. He's a true educator in the highest sense of the word.
Andrew, you might find this interesting: My son with autism asked me when we were shooting arrows in our small backyard, in how many sections do I detect the arrow's flight. I said 3, maybe 4. He said he sees about 14 segments of movement as the arrow goes by. He has found a good job in animation correcting other people's mistakes!
That is fascinating. I have a lot of questions for you actually. If you don’t mind, could you send me a note at the contact form hubermanlab.com regardless, thank you for your comment!
Tou bring tears to my eyes. No one can ever pay you the kindness you have to share such deep knowledge , for free, for us , simple people. From the deep of my heart i thank you, and i will put you in my daily prays. You are a blessed person.
This podcast (not this episode in particular) is by far the most useful and well explained content I've came across on the internet! I am rigorously going through each one of the episodes and so far, I manage to find something to help me improve my life and habits in every one of the episodes and topics. I am extremely grateful to Prof. Huberman for making this content freely available and so easy to grasp for people with zero scientific background!
Dr HUBERMAN DEFINITELY ROCKS!!! MAY THE LORD BLESS HIM OVER AND OVER FOR HIS EMPATHY AND COMPASSION TOWARD US WHO DO NOT HAVE THIS FANTASTIC KNOWLEDGE!! AWESOME NEUROSCIENTIST!!!💙
Dr. Huberman, I’m an optometrist. I LOVE your podcasts. As an OD in Wisconsin, I provide ALL eye care outside of surgery or injections. For ANY eye issue or emergency and for regular exams, people should see an optometrist. We then decide if and when they may need to be referred to an ophthalmologist. This is a common misconception amongst the public - that ODs only provide glasses and contacts. Thank you for these podcasts, such a fantastic contribution to public education and health!
100%. Mine diagnosed my CSR the very next morning with an eye health check after symptoms starting most noticeably the night before. Such valuable and accessible professional care over here in UK. Came here hoping Huberman may have touched on this condition explicitly but as of yet haven't found this part.
This is why I absolutely LOVE this channel! Full of practical, useful information on how to get on better in life. Viewing morning and evening sunlight has been a MASSIVE game changer for me. Goodbye groggy mornings and insomnia 😊😊😊
C Quin - I agree. Just getting back on track, though, after NOT doing this for awhile. I got so far off track with my sleep schedule thought I'd never right it again. Just ONE day of early sunlight & an eve walk @ sundown and I woke up totally refreshed early today! Helps that the sun is out bright & early, no gray marine cover for half a day, which was part of the issue with not even feeling motivated to open my front door, much less get outside early :/
@@benjaminperez4570 Oh, really? I must have misunderstood. Thought he said last episode he was doing one more lecture on fitness/endurance, then rest of June would be on depression. Musta been dreaming🙄 (I'm usually reading comments while listening, so I guess I heard him wrong). Thanks for letting me know!
This has helped me so much. Doctors don't explain things. I'm 72 and trying to keep my eye sight. Thank you so much. Love your channel ❤ A big cuddle to Costello. Love and Blessings to you!!
The way the system is set up doesn't allow for doctors to spend time with their patients, it just allows doctors to just treat the issue as fast as possible and move on. It's definitely tragic, that's why teaching ourselves is the most important thing we can do for ourselves!
@@ninjabreadgirl most of the would be doctors are still in medical schools when most of the medicines they prescribe were made in pharma companies. Do we think that after they graduated from medical school they would research about pharma meds? Lucky for those patients if their doctors do that, so search for doctors who explains. That's why we need to research about the meds we are taking and listen what our body tells.
I can't imagine a world without Dr. H. I hope everyone is dialed into the wealth of knowledge. I feel like this episode applies to me I check all the boxes. I'm over 40, I stare at a screen all day, and my vision has taken a turn for the worst. Ophthalmology has adjusted my prescription 2 times in the last 3 years. I'm adding these simple hacks to my New Year's resolution. Even if it never stops raining down here in LA.
Since quarantine began I started taking long walks with my spouse on a trail behind my house. During these walks I'd enjoy birdwatching without binoculars or anything, just my good old eyeballs. My eyesight has noticeably improved! I no longer need to wear glasses or contacts in normal lighting situations. I thought it was simply bc I was strengthening my eyes by focusing on things in the distance. Thanks to this podcast I'm happy to know this simple and free hobby includes far more vision improving protocols; distance viewing, self generated optic flow, near far, smooth pursuit, and it goes towards two hours of outdoor time. Next step is to time the walks with sunrise. Good luck everyone. May we all find joyful ways to include these life changing protocols in our lives. Thanks Dr. H, eternally grateful for your wisdom.
Eyes adapt to their surrounding, just like everything else in nature. It’s too bad you don’t get too many optometrists highlighting the importance of vision habits.
Had been knocking on the door for quite sometime, but after listening to this podcast, Prof. Huberman is officially in my top 5 most admired living humans.
Huberman has the type of personality that is content by guiding others to improved physical, emotional and mental health. He is truly one in billion & being so highly educated is even more rare.
He’s also very nuanced and extrapolates what he talks about. I personally can’t stand it when someone cares so much about brevity that they end up diluting their message. Andrew is super refreshing IMHO
This lines up perfectly with my experience this week of feeling “lost” in my day after moving from a yurt where I am exposed to the natural light all day through my yurt dome and surrounded by windows, basically outdoors much of the day, to an apartment where the natural light coming in is much, much less. I’ve felt like a part of myself and daily rhythms have been off and I can’t quite place myself in my day now that I spend the day inside. This was so helpful in understanding why! Fascinating and helpful.
Hey Andrew, your podcast is probably the single most useful resource that I’ve ever found and I appreciate you giving us all this information for free. Is there any possibility for a quick discussion in one of the future episodes about the most optimal protocols for storing and retaining information from lectures? I mean what should one do in preparation for and during lectures (taking notes, writing questions to test yourself later, etc.) to optimize the learning process?
I know you want a response from Dr. Huberman, but I thought, I will give my two cents anyway. Taking notes is definitely a good way to memorize, since during the writing down you internally repeat the information. Since most people can type faster than they can write, it may even be beneficial to write by hand, since you repeat it for longer internally. Of course this process is difficult in a live lecture, because you may miss other information. But in a format like this, where you can pause a video it is great. Afterwards summarizing the info is also good, since you have to basically explain the information in your own words again (opposed to just copying word by word), which gives a deeper understanding. Enjoy studying!
He explains in the episode: Using Failures, Movement & Balance to Learn Faster | Huberman Lab Podcast #7, what one can do before learning. I would guess that during a learning session you should start with increasing your focus (with eye movment). Maybe for learning new stuff it is usefull to not start at the basic but a bit higher so that you make mistakes and you get more plasticity. But I don´t know
@@real.psyched Interesting timing, I just looked into this last night. There was a paper that made a splash in 2014, suggesting that hand-written notes are considerably more effective. The suggestion was both as you say and also that hand-writing is spatially more complex, non-linear and so...(reaching here) requires more reorganization and, etc., so you retain better. But the results didn't replicate a few years later, and there's anohter paper suggesting no real dif between typing, hand-writing, and no notes at all--assuming people who took notes have'nt gone back and reviewed. So probably it's just very individual. I'd think, as you say, in general going slower and avoiding the temptation to transcribe is better. I took remarkably few notes in graduate school in a challenging program and did well, but I think for many others that would not have worked. Them's my thoughts...!
This episode has made me aware of all the damage I’ve done to myself while working night shift. I’ve been working graveyard hours for almost 10 years now, and I never knew that my declining far-sightedness was most likely attributed from my work hours. The negative effects from lack of sunlight exposure that Dr. Huberman described are EXACTLY what I’ve experienced over the years. I hope there is a way for me to reverse it, as I’m more than willing to make lifestyle changes to compensate for my lack of sunlight.
I had a surgery in the brainstem when I was 20y. All my senses changed and I’m learning so much from your podcast that nobody in the last 8years could explain to me. Thank you so much this helps a lot! I’m really excited for the next episodes.
@@brainfood2399 that's it!! Same to you, please be well, keep growing - let's improve where we can to navigate this beautifully complex world :)) We're definitely getting kind of super - and we are not alone. Much is left, and with such support and information as from Dr. Huberman: that's the way to go! Love the name of your channel btw ;) I'm creating one which will be called The Lazy Blink - relief for tired eyes (etc.)
I am very interested in the exercises you've suggested here. Years ago, my right eye was becoming increasingly blurry. I lived in a very remote location and didn't have access to eye care. At the same time, I began using a 'wobble board' or balance board because I was having proprioception difficulties. On a whim, I decided to try to balance while closing both eyes/left eye/right eye and then both eyes open. Over time I noticed an improvement in near/far focus in my right eye, so was encouraged to keep it up. After a year, when I went for an eye test (motor vehicle), I no longer needed glasses to drive. A further year passed and I saw an ophthalmologist for an unrelated issue. She told me that my vision and eye health was great. In light of that experience, I continue to use the wobble board to this day, especially as I have had cardiovascular damage that I'm working to resolve. I notice that my vision is worse now and am hoping the wobble board will improve it and my general health, yet again. Thank you so much for your stimulating podcasts. I've been a fan of yours for several years aa I initially came across your work in regards to breathing exercises. You are providing an incredible service to humanity.
This is very interesting. Can I ask what the link it betweem wobble board and sight? Did you read about this somewhere first? How has progress been since your post? Many thanks.
This is the video that started it all for me! Without surgery I would be completely blind today. Andrew Huberman started me on my health journey, and I can't thank him enough!
Dr Huberman, I really enjoy your podcasts! Not only are they educational and informative, they provide practical tips and exercises we can apply in our daily lives. Thank you!
Shhh. Don't give YT any ideas. All kidding aside, Andrew Huberman PhD is generously circumventing the old information cartel hierarchies. We can rejoice.
I appreciate your knowledge so...much! I fell a number of years ago and my eyesight changed & continues to worsen. The 1st optometrist, that I saw ignored what I said about my horrible fall. He told me that my eyesight is worsening because "Black mothers don't protect their children from the sun with sun glasses as children". I was livid; I stopped the exam and demanded my check back. I threatened to report him to the medical board if I received a bill. I should have reported him but ignorance and prejudice is rampant in the medical professional. . I find myself constantly, correcting doctors! Mahalo
Love the zero cost education that I am receiving from this podcast. Thank you for your that Andrew! I love to empathize with struggles pronouncing new words more than anything else. Makes me smile 😊
As an optometry student in Brisbane, Australia, thank you for a very comprehensive listen on eye health. I'll be sure to recommend this to any interested patients 🙂
I would think it would be foundational to inform every one of your patients. This is key information for the lifestyle we now live with hand held devices etc..
Read the book called fixing my gaze by Susan are Barry PHD. It may inspire you to become certified in vision training. There are more than children you would be able to help as you will see if you read the book. You will enjoy it a great deal she’s a neurobiologist. She goes into the science of what happened to her when her stereopsis was restored at age 48. In this doctor Huberman is not correct. Stereopsis is not permanently lost if not addressed in youth.
What I love most about your remarkable podcast is how my sense of agency over my own life with it's challenges is growing episode by episode. My heartfelt thanks to you Dr H and your awesome team!
Lovely! Thank you! In addition to the interesting information, you clearly have a deep appreciation for the complex beauty of the human body. If only everyone shared that passion. I'm 65, but what I see every day still astounds me, and I can't comprehend how others don't feel the same. 🤷🏼♀️
Your gift to pass on your knowledge can make life better for anyone who follows your advice. Your ability to explain and teach makes it easy to understand. I would be willing to pay but at no charge is a true gift from one of the smartest person on the web. Thank you!
I love how your whole being lights up with your passion and excitement for your subjects, your enthusiasm is so infectious. Thank you so much for all your wonderfully fascinating videos and the valuable tools you share with us.
After listening to some of your podcast, I put fabric over a window in my bedroom to keep out the light from my neighbors' outdoor lamp (shines brightly all night through) and voilà, sleep quality restored. No more waking up and not being able to fall asleep again as had been happening since I moved into this studio 6 months ago. Thank you!
Doc, I just came to the awareness of you & your energy via your RU-vid channel yesterday. I AM currently listening to this podcast. The nerd in me is eating this info up & it is so nourishing to my thirsty soul. You are simply brilliant & I love how you are able to connect with us beautiful souls in a relatable, cool & three dimensional way. I AM so looking forward to learning from you & the other teachers/scientist you recommend to us. Thank you kindly. I AM so very grateful! 💙🙏💙
I want 2 sincerely thank you for this video. It was totally captivating !I have never learned so much in 1 sitting than all the time I spent In nursing school! I extremely appreciate Your ability to obtain knowledge And being able to Translate it Into a communicative form that the majority of us can understand... thank you for that
Never will I understand why anyone gives these videos the thumbs down. I'm assuming someone's hand slipped. These podcasts are amongst the most useful videos on the internet!
I think people are so used to being "entertained" with funny/ridiculous/outrageous magical hacks and topics, they get bored with science. That's the only explanation I can think of.
I really appreciate your podcast, Doc Huberman. I've had a few things happen to my eyes - a detached retina, subsequent surgery and resulting cataract and its treatment and now I'm in my late 40s having to wear multifocals with their narrow field of focus, which gets me down. But hey, my vision was saved and I'm so thankful I can see. I struggle a little now with depth perception - I've wondered at times if the changes to my eyes have affected my thinking - both cognition and mood... I guess you could say outlook in the senses of visual and mental. What you've detailed seems to confirm that it's all been a bit of a wrestling match for my brain. But you've also given me some tools. Eye care bills can be eye-watering... huge thanks for how you want to and do give zero-cost knowledge. More power to you!
Thank you for sparking many of your viewers' interest in science and also satisfying their interest with distilled plain English information that is neither oversimplied nor too esoteric.
I'm 16 and want to ensure that i can see well for the rest of my life i've already been doing the 20/20/20 rule and now i'll follow some of these guidelines for eye health. Thanks!
I work in health settings in London in UK and I wish we had at least few of the health professionals just like him in any health settings. Thank you very much for your time, energy and sharing your knowledge with the world. Most appreciated.
This video might change my whole life. I've always deemed myself as a genius. But bad eyesight has impaired my ability for everything. I won't explain anymore. Just thanks for sharing your knowledge
I appreciate you and what you and your team do and that includes Big C for providing the soundtrack for the episodes. I have not started thus episode yet but I woke up at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep and am thinking about the following: 💭How does neuroscience distinguish between intelligence, knowledge and wisdom? I'm just fascinated by how raw intelligence manifest itself without schooling. 💭Is discipline simply reinforced conditioning? What's the difference between discipline and habit? Is it just levels of discomfort? 💭 Is discipline a close relative to addiction? 💭 Can we get high on just about anything if we hook ourselves to it? Thank you Andrew! I hope what you do in public education brings you equal amount of joy (or more) as it benefits me.
I listen to these episodes over and over and over until I can almost repeat the information, almost word for word (although I’m much better at pronouncing astaxanthin 😄). I can not say how important and helpful certain episodes have been to me. None of them can be too long for me. (I listened to Reinhard Veith’s lecture on Vitamin D in one session over and over again, too. It changed my life, too. I was dying and didn’t know it).
Diet is a very big element. My optician told me my eyesight had improved (which is not unusual). The only thing I was doing differently was eating healthier, vegetables, fruits, and good quality food
It is Tues over here and I have been hanging out for 24hrs for this podcast and it's my fav topic and I am just going to listen cos I can't keep up the pace of writing
I was born with lazy eye. Had the patch. then glasses. Finally at ag 35 had laser surgery which was great. Now it's worn off and they say can not redo it. PLEASE address laser surgery and what to do when it's worn off. I love this podcast !!!!!!!
For Dry Eye: There are tiny little holes near the base of your eyelashes that dispense body oil onto the eyeball with every blink. These get clogged up with old oil, dust, particles, etc. Wash your eyelids to remove the oil plugs (it might take a few washings) to allow the body's natural oils to release onto the eyeball when you blink which is what is supposed to happen. Make a solution of 1Tbs Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo and 3Tbs water (very mild). Dip a soft cloth into the solution and cleans the eyelash area for a minute or two, rinse. My Ophthalmologist gave me these directions and they work great. Also, use eyedrops with hyaluronic acid in them such as HyloForte. Hyaluronic acid actually hydrates tissues. Other eye drops contain propylene glycol (medical grade), an oil, that attempts to hold moisture in but doesn't do anything to add moisture to the tissues. My dry eye has all but gone away.
I would never wash my eyes with any kind of face soap, it's not necessary, rinse eyes w/distilled water and a few drops of contact lense fluid in a clean fine-spray bottle is all I use when needed (because it keeps bacteria from forming) which occurs when we touch our eyes for whatever reasons we do that, or as you said, from all sorts of particles or computer screen eye strain....
Except tools are also information. Anything that isn't a material object is information. Religion. Scientific Discoveries. Plans. Schematics. Literature. History. ALL Information.
I could not watch the end of this video, but I know that wearing eye glasses to correct vision is the worst thing anyone can do for their eyes. I improved my eyesight by reducing my lens power progressively down until I can now see without glasses and drive without them. And age is not the issue, I am 68 years with better vision than when I was 30. I have also done many eye exercises. Vision, like Huberman says is mental, but in the form of stress, causing the eye muscles to change the lens shape. By removing the stress and exercising the muscles, complete normal vision is possible. Prove it to yourself by googling natural vision approach to eye care. all the best
Muscles of the face mainly lips are the most powerful, they can inducing a reshape in extraocular muscles that hold the eyeballs and cornea. Upper lip, always down, tongue strenghten up, always awareness on tongue when not speaking, eating or drinking. The pencil push-ups drill should tension the face muscles when bringing the pencil close and releasing the tension as moving it further. Its a normal human reflex to tension our face when something comes too close. Myopes they lose its reflex, in reverse mode they do that for distance, they defend themselves from something distant.
@@violaip to get less powerful lens, do not visit the optician, but the lens seller, write the prescription with a lower power magnitude of 0.25 in both eyes, and tell this is the perception you want, no argument. If they refuse, try another
I truly enjoyed your first podcast regarding the senses. Eyesight is just so important and what we can do to protect our own is vital. Thank you so very much. ))
This has been one of the greatest channels I have stumbled upon. I’m starting from the beginning until I catch up, and am already seeing so many benefits from gaining an understanding of what’s going on internally. Thank you Dr. Huberman!
Andrew I just want to let you know about how you've changed my life at least in one aspect. I used to struggle to run even a mile's distance and would think my lungs would collapse because of the way I was furiously wheezing. I incorporated your double inhale and exhale technique and it worked wonders. I am able to run above four miles comfortably and can complete a mile in half the time I took before incorporating the technique. Thanks a ton! Your service means a lot and has helped changed the life of so many for the better
Andrew Huberman is every bit as clear and succinct of a speaker as Jordan Peterson! This makes for easy listening and learning. I look forward to many more of his podcasts.
Thank you for the great content, you are one of the best teachers I listened, and I'm both furious and shocked that content like this is not taught at schools.
Thank you Andrew for your thoughtful research... this is such a critical topic. Very few can really appreciate how important this sense is and how impactful its loss is until it's gone.
I’d love to have a whole month dedicated to adolescence, puberty, and growing up. It would be awesome to know how to best utilize these critical periods. Keep up the amazing work!
Yes he does deserves Holiday. We can revise some of previous episodes or the guests episodes that will start soon when he will be on his holidays. We can "survive" without new episodes some Monday inside summer Professor
Thank you so much for your priceless sharing. I’ve been working with Zeaxanthin and especially Astaxanthin (amazing multi uses) for about 15 yrs professionally. The way it’s pronounced in my circles are ZEE-ah-zanthin and as-TACK-zanthin. It’s a tongue twister without the pronunciation help. Thank you for your bravery, vulnerability and authenticity. Your help heals many.
I can not possibly thank you enough to match the level of my gratitude for everything I’ve learned from you over the years. I share your wisdom and knowledge far and wide and it gives me such great joy to do so, it allows me to feel somewhat connected to the possibility of literally changing the world. I also want to say that I feel the pureness of your motivation and of your heart and soul. You influence and heal people in ways that I hope you fully realize. Because I hope you realize how awesome you are and what a positive influence you are in the world. Thank you. So very much.
My daughter and I watched most of this today! (Until she needed a nap haha) The eyes have always been so fascinating. LOVE this episode and I am sharing these tools with others. You’re doing some incredible things with your time. 👏👏👏 Great job 🙏🙏
Thank you huberman sir . In January, i got for the first time eyeglasses . And i was disheartened for getting glasses at mere age of 17 . Today ( june ) , i took the eye test again i got rid of my cylindrical power only spherical remaining which is stagnant as measured in january and my eyes didn't degraded on the spherical front. Thanks it gives me more motivation to follow the schedule .
I've been hoping for this topic. My vision seems to have deteriorated since the start of lockdowns. Objects in the distance are now blurry. Working from home and staring at a laptop screen all day has done my vision no favours.
Great episode! I think this topic unleashed his inner Italian! look at the excitement in his eyes and those animated hand gestures! :) I still remember him talking about how birds of prey can see the differences between blades of grass! Truly fascinating topic! My grandma turns 105 this year, she got Lasik surgery at 85. When she looked at herself in the mirror she said " If I would have known I looked this old, I would have never gotten this surgery! :) What can I say vanity runs in the family :) Go outside, what a concept. I never thought as a child that our modern life would get us to this point, but here we are. Thank you for another great episode, Andrew and Team.
Thank you for drawing out so many different angles in this conversation, especially regarding diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases as well as light exposure treatments. Great podcast!
I couldn’t love this podcast more! I particularly enjoy the references to Castello (sp?) the accuracy of detail, the biochemistry, the nonjudgmental nature, the dedication to science. I really appreciate the practical ways given so they we can enjoy healthier, happier lives. Thank you so much!
As a person with optic neuropathy I found this episode very insightful and hope inspiring just from the perspective of understanding what happens when I see.Will engage protocols as I believe gains can be improved over time, plus other sense enhancement as mentioned. Thanks
I can't thank you enough for talking in depth about this. I feel like there's hope for my eyes. What a lifesaver❤ going to watch everything you have to offer.
Hi there! My right eye never learned to focus right, and now that I have an issue with my left eye my eye doctor tells me it's "too late to teach the right eye." It just never learned to communicate with the brain, but there is nothing physically wrong with it. I ignored the good doctor and got myself an eye patch, which I wear in the morning while doing my morning chores. After only a week, I can actually read with my lazy eye. It's blurry, but I was able to go through some of my email today! The eye gets tired, so I am careful pacing the process in a gradual way. I think this will work. The issue with my left eye, for which I'll be seeing a specialist, has a silver lining in that it forced me to ask my lazy eye to start working. Hooray for neuroplasticity even in my fifth decade! Thank you for all your podcasts. They clued me into believing that with a bit of discomfort, just about anything is possible.
You can tell you’re passionate about this subject! You smile a lot more & are more animated in this podcast! lovely to see this & as ever very informative, thank you Andrew 👀 🤓 💕
THANK YOU FOR THE PRICELESS INFORMATION SHARED ABOUT PANORAMIC SIGHT TO RELAX OUR EYES…and SHORT DISTANCE SIGHT …HOW IT AFFECTS OUR EYESIGHT…I HAVE ONLY HEARD ABOUT THESE NOW, BLESSINGS 💖🍃….THE IMPORTANCE OF SPENDING TWO HOURS OUTDOORS FOR SUNLIGHT TO BENEFIT OUR VISION…..THEY ARE ALL VALID, MAKE SENSE…
Thank you so much for your podcast! I'm a scientific illustrator in Boston and you do an exquisite job making complex concepts accessible to the layman. 6 years ago I was under a TREMENDOUS amount of stress and suffered from an episode of optic neuritis. My neurologist and neuro-ophthalmologist wanted to put me on immunomodulators for MS, but I decided first to make stress reduction my #1 priority. So far so good - no more episodes of optic neuritis or progression to MS. Do any of your podcast episodes cover the MS/stress connection? Thank you so much for sharing your work with all of us.
You are like my favorite music in science that I love on a cellular level ❤ I am blessed beyond words for you're humble contribution to the human species. THANK YOU!!!
What an amazing episode!! I have been reading a lot about the subject so some bits and pieces I heard here and there and then looked for science to see what was really true. But I could not glue all of it successfully. Dr. H you have glued and clarified so much so far and I haven’t even had the chance to listen to the full episode! Thank you
We focus to read, cook, computer, drive looking straight ahead. The eyes get stuck the mind stiff. Dr. Bates found certain exercises that relax those muscles and healed many elementary students needing glasses to see perfectly. One of them they teach now in India at an Ashram, is to close eyes, then circle your hand around fisted closed while also turning your head. Then the other direction. I love it I feel it actually stimulates my pineal or pituitary gland behind the eyes. I find instant bliss, euphoric electricity, instantly.
I also nominate Dr. Huberman for a Nobel Prize! thank you for the fine eloquence in which you share science with us. Your special voice, along with your brain and speech are gifts given to you and to us.
Thank you so much Andrew. You are included in my gratitude each day. All the information you are providing is so important and beneficial to everyone. Your style of delivery is fantastic. You are enjoyable to listen to and have the ability to make this complex material fun, intereting an easily applicable to the average person. Thank you. I look forward to all of your content.
Thanks Andrew and the team for this great podcast - my absolute favorite! Protocols to get enough blue light at the right time has been mentioned several times in the podcast. I started a pretty rigid protocol last autumn with an artificial light to make sure I get enough light during the dark winter in Northernmost Europe. It worked well during the winter and after a couple of months the alarm clock was totally useless. But now in summer when the sun rises at 3am the protocol really backfires as I wake up to light super early. I’ve never been sensitive to morning light like this before... so just a word of warning to people who live in places with big seasonal variation in the amount of light. Probably getting the bedroom dark enough will help but was prepared for it :D
