40 分钟Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials,
where we revisit past episodes for the most potent and actionable science-based tools for mental health,
physical health, and performance.
I'm Andrew Huberman,
and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
And now, for my discussion with Dr.
Rhonda Patrick.
Rhonda, welcome.
I am so excited to be here having a conversation with you.
Thank you.
I have so many questions,
but I want to start off with a kind of a new but old theme that you're very familiar with.
So temperature is a powerful stimulus, as we know for biology.
And you've covered a lot of material related to the utility of cold, but also the utility of heat.
And as I learn more and more from your content and from the various papers,
it seems that cold can stimulate a number of things like increases in metabolism,
brown fat, et cetera, et cetera.
But heat seems to be able to do a lot of the same things.
And I wonder whether or not the discomfort of cold, deliberate cold exposure,
and the discomfort of heat might be anchoring to the same pathway.
