Quite the contrary. Admitting defeat is nothing like what you just described. For me, an individual who has given up on him/herself is someone who wouldnt even consider taking any action. Its actually really brave to seek help - and this is especially true for someone who suffers from a debillitating mental condition. We do have an expanding arsenal of tools to deal with with specific issues and I dont see one reason why you shouldnt give them a try. Psychiatric drugs are real life changers in some cases, while other minds need a different approach. There is a lot of stigma around these drugs, esepcially on the internet - but its usually a lot of noise from online-experts who have no real clue about the topic, nor have they ever treated a patient. How about this: Keep the drug-approach as some sort of last resort and try out some of the alternatives to deal with your condition. You will always know that if shit really hits the fan, you can go back and take the medication. It can be your safety net and you can still put up your best fight. However, if you just want to feel better and life just sucks - you can start with the pills right now. Its not shameful, its not admitting defeat - its just one way of dealing with a condition. It doesnt mean that you should keep taking them for the rest of your life if thats what you are worried about. I know patients, who after years of consistent SSRI-therapy, got off the drug and healed their depression with a psilocybin trip. Also, keep in mind that the drug-approach doesnt mean that you stop implementing alternative add-ons. Psychophysiological practices like breathwork/meditation/yoga or NSDR can work real wonders. Movement, sun exposure and diet are also no brainers. Just never combine oral drugs with psychdelics or other nootropic/psychotropic remedies Last but not least, a small anecdote out of my own life: I started suffering from really strong allergies about a year ago. It became so bad that I could barely breathe at night - so I got myself an asthma-inhaler which I used 2 times a day. I was annoyed because I didnt want to use this stupid inhaler for the rest of my life - so I kept applying it until my lung recovered from the stress. I had similar thoughts like you described in your post. After a month or two, I started doing research and tried out some alternative treatment options. Breathwork + cold exposure managed to decrease symptom severity by about 90% and I managed to get off the inhaler after 4 months.

This question of right or wrong doesn't really make sense in this case. I mean - wrong for what? for whom? for which purpuse? in what quantity? in what sense?.... If we cant contextualize our qustion about food, then any answer will be inherently unsatisfactory.

Stop taking the supplement and watch what happens to your symptom. Could be as simple as a nocebo-effect as well. I looked through the ingredients & dosages, no major red flags. Maybe, just maybe the pantothenic acid, delivered as d-calcium panthothenate could increase your serum calcium which would cause increased thirst. Anyway, if you feel better without the supplement I would recommend cessation.

Here is a meta analysis ragarding weed & IQ Effects are highly significant but only translate to an average decline of 2 IQ points following exposure to cannabis in youth. Also, bear in mind that we are talking about epidemiological research, so this does not prove anything beyond association. What it really takes to prove this hypothesis is a high quality randomized, placebo-controlled trial with a decent follow up period. However, i dont see this passing any ethical review committee Actually, the more I think about it, the more doubts come up...I can think of multiple cofactors that would intervene with said study protocol. For example, smoking a joint will greatly impact your REM-sleep quantity/quality in subsequent sleep cycles. This will also have an apparent effect on your IQ-measurement and I dont see this point adequately controlled for in the statistical analysis. This is just ONE argument and it already makes the findings very shaky....i There are many good reasons to not smoke weed regularly, especially as an adolescent. I doubt we will see the same findings about IQ in a high quality trial - but you never know. Keep it as low THC% and infrequent as possible- that would be my advice.

So thats where my dick rash is comming from

Both are Pizzas... But only one is a high quality product with traditional ingridients and minimal processing... Only one is made of delicious hand-crafted sourdough, fresh tomatoes and organic "fior di latte" Only one contains the high quality extra virgin olive oil that is full of antioxidants and polyphenols One of them will make you feel amazing, the other one like shit

You can die doing that.

Used to love his interviews & the documentary with London Real back when they produced good content and didnt scam people out of their money with crazy conspiracies and crypto-nonsense. Glad to see him on Huberman!

Healing is possible but not guaranteed. Whatever you do, the basis of your treatment must always be rooted in evidence based medicine - meaning mainstream onocology! In some cases we are getting really close to curing cancer. Couple of days ago, a landmark study was published about a new monoclonal antibody which completely reversed locally advanced rectal cancer in 100% of the cases with almost no side effects (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2201445). Anyway, what you do from there to support your system is another question. An integrative/holistic healing approach includes multiple facets ranging from nutritional solutions, psycho/trauma-therapy, psychospiritual-interventions, interpersonal work & alternative treatment regimes like for example NAD+/Vit-D infusions or other orthomolecular approaches. What you need as an individual is highly subjective and as @Michael569 already mentioned, your best guess is to find someone who specializes in holistic cancer treatments. Beware of the snake oil salesmen that are ubiquitous in the alternative medicine space. There are countless cases of complete remissions after some old trauma got worked up or the right nutritional approach was impleneted. Never stop believing that healing is possible.

This is an incredible complex topic which I researched deeply 2-3 years ago. If I find some free time, I will go into detail with some naunce. The short answer is: Yes, sometimes and especially in the hippocampus and certain nuclei. Dont confuse "growing neurons" with plasticity. Also, Huberman usually knows his shit but the brain/neuroscience is far from figured out.

Lets stop demonizing food groups...its nonsense! Take 3 fruits: Watermelon, Blueberries & apples -> One will spike your blood sugar (watermelon) -> The other will stabilize (apples) -> Blueberries can even lower the glycaemic impact of other foods In general: especially if you dont suffer from insulin-intolerance..

Both are great! The exercises are really simple, you just need to follow through on them! Good luck with your issues!

The Kneesovertoesguy @ youtube or https://www.atgonlinecoaching.com/ or His book Can highly recommend this guy's work - healed my knee issues in 3 months.

I know countless of vegans among my acquaintances and they all look great.... Stop believing this nonsense. What you see on youtube is not reality. Plant based diets have been studied intensively and its not a question anymore of its healthy or not. Also, "vegan" is such a vague label. I could eat only potate chips, that would make me a vegan. I could only eat fruits and get like 10g of protein a day, that would make me a vegan as well. I could eat a 100% plant based, unprocessed diet, with a rich variety of different macro and micronutrients from a huge range of food items and take care of potential deficiencies in a smart way. Only one of those will keep you healthy in the long run.

Sv3rige is mentally ill and a well known liar, manipulator and deceiver. The individuals presetend in his collages are for a huge part the worst examples you can find, often on longstanding, weird elimination diets like frugivores with severe malnutrition-tendencies and other issues. He also deliberately alters clips with filters to make skin and wrinkles more prominent than they actually are. Taking nutritonal advice from Sv3rige is like taking health advice from McDonalds. Pure BS.

I am a big fan of integrative/holistic medicine and in fact, thats what I practice for a living... However...please take the advice of those online "experts" always with a grain of salt. If I have learned anything in the last decade of active participation in this field, its that the more you go away from the mainstream, the more obscure the whole situation becomes. Quackery and real genius are very close together but the latter is actually a rare find, while the former is ubiquitous.I recognize some of the names on this website and...lets just say be careful who you entrust your health with. A good rule of thumb: If someone completely rejects the mainstream narrative without going into nuance (i.e "Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease") then its always a bad sign. The real holistic genius is someone who grounds his practice on evidence based medicine and builds from there.

The emerging picture of nutritional epidemiology is difficult to reconcile with good scientific principles. Beyond food studies, results of single-nutrient studies have largely failed to be corroborated in randomized trials. Reform has long been due. The data you provided is at best medium to low quality. I think its definitely legit to focus some future reserach capacities on exactly this topic. Causal corroborations of nutritional associations are rare, but they do happen. However, I wouldnt be too worried about it

When it comes to hairloss, here is the deal.... 1) First of all.... .... you need to determine how you would do as a bald guy! -> Could you rock a bald look? (Maybe with a better frame?) -> Does your face look weird without hair? -> How about your beard situation? -> Is there strong attachement to your hair? You need to be brutally honest with yourself. Also, your own insecurities will influence your opinion on this - thats why its important to get input from honest outsiders. If you have a nice head-shape, good beard situation, then any hairloss prevention is NOT worth it. Some faces just look weird without hair. Period. "But you shouldnt care about what others think" "Just work on your confidence bro" "Its all about inner game" -> Those comments are redundant platitudes. Yes, there is truth in it, but its just not that easy. Sometimes the quick fix is the best fix. 2) Evaluate your hairloss (using the norwood scale) 3) Interventions Gold-standard: Finasteride -> 1mg per day, its possible to cycle the intake (for example every second day) or lower the dosage down to 0,5mg depending on your genetics -> Will hold your hair-situation as it + regrowth/thickening in recently shed area -> Side effects are RARE, but happen. Internet search will give you a strong negativity bias -> Side effects usually go away as you stop taking the drug (Those who prevail are propably with a strong psychophysiolgoical component) -> A metabolically/endocrinologically healthy body faces a lower chance for side effects -> If you want to do it, do it the smart way: Blood lab/androgenic-profile before and 6-12 months after you started the drug Topical Finasetride: -> Available in some countries, seems almost as good as the oral drug with lesser side effects! -> its a bit more annoying to deal with because its easier to just swallow a pill BUT it wont infleunce your Blood-DHT-levels as much Minoxidil + (Microneedling): -> Slows the process and regrows hair (especially when combined with needling) -> Combine with microneedling (1,5mm) to get max results (its WAY superior) -> Side effects are very rare and usually mild -> Applied 2 times a day, on your scalp Microneedling: -> Its possible to do just that but it wont stop your hair loss indefinitely -> There seems to be a certain subgroup of hairloss cases who suffer from sclerosis/fibrosis of the scalp. In such cases, dermarolling/microneedling seems to be effective! However, most people need it in combination with Minoxidil! Keto-shampoo: -> No good evidence that it actually works -> I have tried it and I notice "some" hair thickening effects but cant tell for sure If you really want to max your results, combine all 3 treatments! Most people notice zero side effects even after years of treatment. There is just one way to find out -> TRY it! If your hairloss is at a very early stage, Finasteride on its own should be enough! If you are at around Norwood IV, no intervention will really help you to get a good result. At that point, you can think about hair-transplantation. No one can tell you beforehand if you will experience side effects. You are welcome

There is nothing wrong with nature and I never said otherwise. However, its just a truism that there is a certain amount of indifference in natures essence when it comes to "your" survival or wellbeing. People are dying from horrible bacterial infections every day and all around the world. Your backyard is, on a microscopic level, a bloodbath. Thats not paranoid, thats how it is Thats nature as well! Trusting in the "intelligence of nature" is just such a stage green thing to say. I mean, it just means nothing - because first of all, you ARE part of nature and you can never be "out" of its intelligence. Not washing your food is a bit like saying that "Its better to not get the vaccine because its unnatural". Well, thats just a really stupid statement on so many levels - you get that? Now of course there is nuance to everything I just said, but I hope you get what I wanted to convey.

Ok, then let me give you a different perspective. Outdoor dust is usually made up of soil particles, pollen, vehicular matter (like exhaust or tire particles), or even insect follicles or parts. Depending on where you live, you could add a solid portion of different man-made pollutants to that mix. That ranges from heavy metals to different volatile organic compounds and fertilizer remnants. You are not going to die if you eat an unwashed fruit. Its propably not going to be a huge problem, even if you do it in the long run. On the one hand it IS paranoid to think so. However, just going by what we actually know about air-quality and pollution-indices, washing your fruit/vegetables is always a good idea. Just to be safe. If we would live in a pre-industrial era, my answer would be a different one.

Does nature look particulary peaceful to you? Nature is insanely brutal und doesnt care about your survival. You do. Thats why you should wash your vegetables.

Once you collapse the duality between relative and absolute, the subtle notion of the infinite and finite disappears. The relative is as real as the absolute. The ego is as real as infinity. Red is as red as nothingness. Free will is as real as determinism. "You" are both real and a illusion. Reality is permanently co-creating itself, through itself, with itself.

Multiple clinical trials, hundreds of epidemiological analyses (comparing vaccinated/unvaccinated cohorts), the fact that we know how immunity works down to the tiniest detail, the fact that we have experience with vaccines and how they work against infectious diseases for at least 70 years, the fact that we can measure the antibody response and see a 1:1 causal link with fewer deaths....and so on.... Also: My personal, direct experience as a MD working in a hospital, as well as everyone who works in the intensive care unit who sees that approx. 80% of our patients with severe covid there did not get the vaccine, as well as basically 99% of doctors, nurses and health workers around the world who deal with patients every day. Either all of us are lying and deceiving, a huge conspiracy with millions of actors ...or....maybe the anti-vaxx clowns are just wrong.

Interesting. Nutritional epidemiology is sadly one of the weakest forms of scientific evidence but its still a conspicuous finding.
