If this is the rationale put forth by what is now the leading health and wellness influencer in the world, we have no chance. This rationale that “I don’t go where the flu is” is impossibly dumb and detracts from the systematic efficacy of flu vaccines in a community/population
Andrew Huberman just released an episode on "How to Prevent and Treat Colds and Flu."
Flu shots? Only decreasing chances of catching flu by 40-60%, and only if the strain is targeted correctly. Huberman doesn't get the flu shot, and implies you probably shouldn't either.

You would have to eat nearly 4.5 pounds of raw almonds in a narrow window of time to even approach toxic doses, assuming 100% conversion and no further metabolism of hydrocyanic acid to cyanide (which…no).

There is no evidence that caffeine ingestion in the morning is detrimental in any way, and any modest further increases in sympathetic or neuroendocrine output has no demonstrable effect on health.
If you want coffee first thing, have it
1. Avoid coffee for the first 90 minutes after waking.
We have a natural cortisol spike when we wake up.
Adding coffee to this can increase your stress response and blunt the impact of the caffeine, making you immune to it in the long run.
Drink coffee after this spike.

The evidence that heat stress positively influences accumulation or preservation of skeletal muscle is about the same as the evidence that I’m a good NBA prospect.
The most important players for muscle mass:
1) Protein intake (at least 1.6g/kg body weight)
2) Resistance training
3) Omega-3s (2-4g/day, triglyceride form)
4) Heat stress (from a sauna or hot tub)

1. Soy protein absorption is perfectly sufficient.
2. No evidence of endpoint differences as a result of phytoestrogen consumption at typically intake levels.
Soy is NOT a good substitute for meat.
Even organic (non-GE) soy contains

-high levels of phytoestrogens, which are endocrine disruptors
-extremely high levels of phytic acid

So unfortunately this represents a pretty severe lack of understanding of cancer metabolism and cancer cachexia-- a phenomenon that seems to uniquely be directed at those battling cancer.

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this logic is.

In fact, aggregate data suggests that individuals who consume more plant oils as an isolated variable (I.e not as a proxy for deep fried or packaged food consumption) are healthier, have lower cvd markers and risk, and do not suffer from “toxicity”

I hate to be a broken record, but while (again) I’m fine with people wanting to supplement omega 3s, most endpoints that have targeted supplemental omega 3s in humans has been underwhelming.
Disease states deplete omega3 index values, so risk of reverse causality is very high.
People with an 8% or higher omega-3 index have a 5 year increased life expectancy compared to people with a 4% or lower omega-3 index.
Supplementation with omega-3 can effectively increase someone's omega-3 index from 4% to 8%. However, the specific dose required to achieve

No one argues that obesity is as simple as counting calories these days. This is a straw man.
What the argument actually is, is that caloric balance is the inescapable underwriting principle that determines weight balance. Many strategies are in service of that target.
It's unfortunate that some people still believe that obesity is as simple as counting calories.
As a psychiatrist, I welcome these simplistic thinkers to take the "psychiatric medication challenge."
These meds can make disciplined, calorie-counting people fat.

If you are not metabolically healthy enough to handle 9 grams of carbs but can handle 550+ mg caffeine and the associated glucose excursion, perhaps reconsider your priors.
An 8 oz cup of black coffee contains from 0.5-2 grams of carbohydrates. If you drink 3 12 oz coffees each morning then that's up to 9 grams of carbs...
For some people this is going to elevate blood glucose levels too much.

From sequencing the genome in January to shots in arms in less than a year. Huge debt of gratitude to all the scientists and healthcare workers that made this possible.
Also, the Bill Gates chip really improves the WiFi signal strength.

Based on the ol’ comments here, Huberman has approximately 100% listenership among the low-carb, anti PUFA crowd.
Tomorrow, I’m sitting down with
@BioLayne
to discuss all things nutrition and fitness for the Huberman Lab podcast. What would you like me to ask him? As you know, with Layne you’ll always get the straight, science-supported answer.

Dear Twitter people,
LC/Keto is a great tool.
Can we please stop painting whole plants (especially vegetables and berries) as things that are bad for health. It’s stupid, based on next to no science, and counterproductive.
Happy Sunday.

I’m a bit concerned about the seemingly increasingly popular trend of viewing nutrition through acute changes in blood glucose rather than things like chronic glucose and lipid values (the latter of which is pretty well captured by A1c)

This is such a willfully poor attempt at critiquing SELECT that is makes me wonder if he A) has shorted Novo’s stock at some point B) just doesn’t especially appreciate trial design C) does appreciate the totality of evidence, or the ability to correct for a variable (weight)
A new trial has reported that the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide reduces risk of cardiovascular events in patients with obesity – but that’s not the question we ought to be asking.

Being criticized for not doing enough PubMed-based research and extolling my lack of understanding of the microbiome when I have published work on the microbiome on PubMed.
This is peak Twitter. Just can’t make it up.

I can’t believe we live in a world where prominently platformed health influencers understand neither public health objectives nor the difference between recommending a limit versus a minimum amount.
I can’t believe we live in a world where the American Heart Association says it’s totally ok for a 2 year old to have 6 teaspoons of added sugar DAILY. This is NOT talking about natural fruit sugar (which is not considered “added sugar.” This is industrially manufactured ADDED

I am going to admit my naïveté for a moment here:
Handgrip strength correlates with mortality, too, but training grip strength does not increase longevity because the observation is reverse causality.
How strong is the actual evidence base that actively increasing VO2 max…
If you're looking to improve your VO2 max
Try the Norwegian 4x4
Probably the best workout there is for it
4 minutes hard (~75-85% max heart rate ... not all-out, but these intervals should be quite brutal)
Then 3 minutes lower intensity (similar to zone 1)
Repeat 4x

Here’s a hot take that i no longer think Is that hot in light of recent evidence, including the new Hall et al met ward study:
Mechanical satiety signals >= hormonal/digestive satiety signals.
Food volume matters. Big time.

Oh for the love of god 🤦♂️.
If had even taken the time, you would have noted the paper was about associations between food additives and CVD. Food additives that are most commonly added to… highly processed food.
At what point does this become embarrassing.
Increased intake of insoluble fiber cellulose is associated with worsening cardiovascular disease

Onnit, the company he co-founded that’s sells overpriced supplements with minimal efficacy, just was bought by fucking *Unilever* for $700 million.
There exists not shame in the world.
That would be a great suggestion if you could assure that the industry you were representing wasn’t completely captured by heartless monsters who have a history of some of the biggest criminal fines in human history because their deception has cost hundreds of thousands of people

Yes it absolutely does. You can look in my bio for my credentials.
I caution you against claiming things which are factually untrue and outside of your ability to assess

Comparing fructose to cocaine is like comparing a beaver dam to the Hoover dam.

@RobertLustigMD
explains how the Food Industry adds fructose to a great many foods, making them addictive by virtue of the similar effects of fructose to drugs such as cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, etc. on the brain. (Excerpt from Huberman Lab podcast )

Alright, starting a seven day fast on Dec 30.
Not because I blew it over the holidays or anything— I was my usual mildly neurotic self and ate exactly zero junk.
Mostly just to get a sense for what i am doing to my mice when I fast them for 12 hours.

Not sure free food and a $100,000-250,000 education are quite the same, but I get your point.

Yearly health fair results:
BP 108/68
Cholesterol (total): 114
HDL: 60
Trigs: <50
LDL: N/A (calc: 48)
A1c: 5.1
High PUFA intake seems okay thus far.
