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.\nSign up to get notified about future events: https://www.hubermanlab.com/events\nThank you to our sponsors\nAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman\nEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman\nTimestamps\n00:00 Introduction\n00:15 Live Event Recap: The Brain Body Contract\n00:32 Sponsors: AG1 & Eight Sleep\n03:30 Q&A Session Begins: Napping and Sleep Quality\n06:34 The Power of the Placebo Effect\n11:31 Entering Rest and Digest State: Techniques and Tools\n15:35 Muscle Growth, Learning & the Brain\n20:13 Hallucinogens: Personal Experiences & Clinical Insights\n27:28 The Misunderstood Effects of MDMA\n27:42 Exploring the Potential of MDMA in Clinical Settings\n29:25 The Complex World of Psychedelics & Mental Health\n30:07 Ketamine: From Misconception to Medical Use\n31:53 The Fascinating Science of DMT\n33:11 Supporting Science: Funding & Future Directions\n34:48 The Gut-Brain Axis: A Key to Overall Health\n40:41 Sleep Patterns and Chronotypes: Personalizing Rest\n42:50 Addressing ADHD & Focus in the Modern World\n49:27 Closing Remarks & Gratitude\nDisclaimer
