In this episode, I describe the science of how and why pain arises in the body and brain, and how we can actively control our experience of pain. I discuss inflammation, stress, acupuncture, limb damage and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). I review protocols that leverage the lymphatic and nervous system to accelerate pain relief and healing in a variety of situations. Other topics discussed include how heat versus cold impacts neurons and wounds, red-light, sunlight, stem cells and more. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1 (Athletic Greens): https://athleticgreens.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanWaking Up: https://www.wakingup.com/hubermanMomentous: https://www.livemomentous.com/hubermanTimestamps(00:00:00) Introduction/Avenues for Support(00:00:31) Sponsors: AG1, LMNT, Waking Up(00:04:58) Deliberate Unlearning(00:06:43) Pain, Injury and Regeneration(00:09:17) A System of Touch (Somatosensation)(00:11:42) Pain and Injury are Dissociable(00:15:19) Objective versus Subjective Control of Experience(00:16:15) Plasticity of Perception(00:16:41) Lack of Pain Is Self-Destructive; So Is Excessive Pain(00:18:42) Homoculous, Ratonculous, Dogunculus(00:19:05) “Sensitivity” explained(00:21:30) Inflammation(00:22:24) Phantom Limb Pain(00:24:00) Top-down Relief of Pain by Vision(00:26:41) From Deaf to Hearing Sounds(00:28:10) Pain Is In The Mind & Body(00:29:44) Recovering Movement Faster After Injury(00:35:00) Don’t Over Compensate(00:37:34) Concussion, TBI & Brain Ageing(00:40:49) The Brain’s Sewage Treatment System: Glymphatic Clearance(00:43:05) Body Position & Angle During Sleep(00:44:30) Types of Exercise For Restoring & Maintaining Brain Health(00:47:33) Ambulance Cells in The Brain(00:49:20) True Pain Control by Belief and Context(00:51:45) Romantic Love and Pain(00:55:05) Dopaminergic Control of Pain(00:57:15) Acupuncture: Rigorous Scientific Assessment(01:07:32) Vagus Activation and Autonomic Control of Pain(01:08:30) Inflammation, Turmeric, Lead and DHT(01:11:40) Adrenalin: Wim Hof, Tummo, “Super-Oxygenation” Breathing(01:14:53) Protocols For Accelerating Tissue Repair & Managing Pain(01:17:55) Ice Is Not Always Nice (For Pain and Injury): Sludging, Fascia, Etc.(01:22:02) Chronic and/or Whole Body Pain; Red-Light Therapy, Sunlight(01:26:10) Glymphatics and Sleep(01:26:29) Stem Cells, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP: Shams, Shoulds and Should Nots(01:31:38) Young Blood: Actual Science(01:35:44) Synthesis, Support & ResourcesTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike BlabacDisclaimer

Huberman Lab

Huberman Lab discusses neuroscience — how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. We also discuss existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works.Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the department of neurobiology, and by courtesy, psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. He has made numerous significant contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills and cognitive functioning. Huberman is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan Award, given to the scientist making the most significant discoveries in the study of vision, in 2017. His lab’s most recent work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human performance and brain states such as fear and courage. He also works on neural regeneration and directs a clinical trial to promote visual restoration in diseases that cause blindness. Huberman is also actively involved in developing tools now in use by the elite military in the U.S. and Canada, athletes, and technology industries to optimize performance in high stress environments, enhance neural plasticity, mitigate stress and optimize sleep.  Work from the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford School of Medicine has been published in top journals including Nature, Science and Cell and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American, Discover and other top media outlets. In 2021, Dr. Huberman launched the Huberman Lab podcast. The podcast is frequently ranked in the top 5 of all podcasts globally and is often ranked #1 in the categories of Science, Education, and Health & Fitness.
