Recently I had the pleasure of hosting a live event in Sydney, Australia. This event was part of a lecture series called The Brain Body Contract. My favorite part of the evening was the question and answer period, where I had the opportunity to answer questions from the attendees of each event. Included here is the Q&A from our event at the ICC Sydney Theatre.Sign up to get notified about future events: https://www.hubermanlab.com/eventsThank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/hubermanTimestamps00:00 Introduction00:15 Live Event Recap: The Brain Body Contract00:32 Sponsors: AG1 & Eight Sleep03:30 Q&A Session Begins: Napping and Sleep Quality06:34 The Power of the Placebo Effect11:31 Entering Rest and Digest State: Techniques and Tools15:35 Muscle Growth, Learning & the Brain20:13 Hallucinogens: Personal Experiences & Clinical Insights27:28 The Misunderstood Effects of MDMA27:42 Exploring the Potential of MDMA in Clinical Settings29:25 The Complex World of Psychedelics & Mental Health30:07 Ketamine: From Misconception to Medical Use31:53 The Fascinating Science of DMT33:11 Supporting Science: Funding & Future Directions34:48 The Gut-Brain Axis: A Key to Overall Health40:41 Sleep Patterns and Chronotypes: Personalizing Rest42:50 Addressing ADHD & Focus in the Modern World49:27 Closing Remarks & GratitudeDisclaimer Learn more about your ad choices.
