2 小时 31 分钟Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast, where we discuss science and science based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
My guest today is Doctor Bonnie Halpern Felcher doctor Bonnie Halpern Felcher is a professor of pediatrics and adolescent medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
A developmental psychologist by training, Doctor Halpern Felcher is a world expert in the risk behaviors that adolescents, teens, and young adults participate in.
Today.
We discuss nicotine use, both by way of smoking as well as vaping and e cigarette use.
We also discuss cannabis and some of the correlative, as well as possibly causal data linking cannabis use to psychosis in young adults.
And we discuss some of the other common risky behaviors that adolescents, teens, and young adults participate in, including risky driving behavior, alcohol consumption, and risky sexual behavior.
We discuss the various factors that impact whether or not a young person will participate in risky behaviors, including the family and home, as well as peer group and social media.
And as we discuss social media, we get into a deep discussion about how marketing is combining with peer pressure in order to drive youth toward particular risky behaviors.
By the end of today's conversation, you will have learned from doctor Halpern Felcher the latest research on risk taking behavior in adolescents, teens, and young adults, and what we can each and all do to ensure that they either avoid these behaviors or if they are already engaging in these behaviors, that we can mitigate some of the potential harms and potentially get them to eliminate these behaviors toward having a life of enhanced mental and physical health.
Before we begin, I'd like to emphasize that this podcast is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford.
It is, however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost to consumer information about science and science related tools to the general public.
In keeping with that theme, I'd like to thank the sponsors of today's podcast.
Our first sponsor is eight sleep.
Eight sleep makes smart mattress covers with cooling, heating, and sleep tracking capacity.
Now, I've spoken many times before on this podcast about the critical need to get sleep, both enough sleep and enough quality sleep.
When we do that, everything, our mental health, our physical health performance in any sports or school, etcetera, all get better.
And when we're not sleeping well or enough, all those things suffer.
One of the key things to getting a great night's sleep is that your body temperature actually has to drop by about one to three degrees in order to fall and stay deeply asleep.
