Summary

The human brain is one of the most unique, powerful, and adaptive objects in the known universe. Up until a few decades ago, researchers believed that changes in the brain could only develop throughout infancy and childhood. We now know that no matter what age you are, your incredible brain is capable of change, creating new connections, and rewiring its pathways. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a brilliant neuroscientist and tenured professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine. As the director of Huberman Lab at Stanford, he is a true expert on brain development, function, and plasticity. In part one of this interview series, Dr. Huberman is sharing incredible insights on upgrading your brain through sunlight exposure, cold therapy, and breathing techniques. You’re going to learn the science behind how the brain is constantly adapting to its environment, and what you can do to set your brain up for success. These clinically proven strategies for upgrading your brain are free, simple, and accessible to everyone. So listen in, take good notes, and enjoy the show! In this episode you’ll discover: How the brain is unlike any other organ in the body. What neuroplasticity is. The conditions that determine whether stress is good or bad for us. How the mind and the body respond to stress. What you need to know about adrenaline and epinephrine. How cortisol levels cycle throughout the day. The importance of taking in morning sunlight. Three main practices you can implement to anchor your stress response system. What ICU psychosis is. How to optimize the time you spend on social media.

0:12.0	Welcome to The Model Health Show.
0:13.0	This is Finns and Nutrition expert, Sean Stevenson.
0:15.0	And I'm so grateful for you tuning in with me today.
0:18.0	There's no doubt about it. The human brain is one of the most powerful objects in the known universe.
0:25.0	It's a master regulator of our metabolism, of our immune system, and so much more.
0:31.0	Even the beating of your heart is regulated by that amazing brain of yours.
0:36.0	And I felt that at this time in human history, it's a great opportunity.
0:40.0	Scratch that priority for us to focus on getting our brains healthier than ever.
0:46.0	Since it's regulating so much, I felt that I needed to reach out to somebody who's truly an expert in the human brain.
0:53.0	And that's who I have for you today.
0:55.0	In fact, there was so much incredible information that I actually had to cut this up into two parts.
1:01.0	It was just an absolute tidal wave of knowledge and practicality.
1:07.0	So we're going to talk about really simple, clinically proven things that we can do starting today to dramatically improve that amazing brain of yours,
1:16.0	especially during this time of stress, to build up your stress threshold, to build up your resiliency to stress so that you could continue to operate at a high level and not just survive this time of craziness, but to really thrive.
1:31.0	So really, really pumped about this.
1:33.0	Now, one of the regulatory forces of not just our brains, but also our body overall, in particular, if we're talking about the health and resilience of our immune system, everybody knows his name, vitamin C.
1:45.0	But I just came across a recent study that really took the understanding of this antioxidant nutrient to another level because it's one of the most critical nutrients for helping our bodies to manage all the stress we're exposed to.
2:01.0	This study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences stated that both emotional and physical stress may affect a person's vitamin C status.
2:12.0	It can increase the requirement for vitamin C just to maintain normal blood levels when we're exposed to excessive mental and or physical stress.
2:23.0	When stress depletes vitamin C levels in the body, it reduces the body's resistance to infections and other diseases and increases the likelihood of further stress so it becomes a compound effect.
