New Huberman Lab (solo) podcast out now: - In this huberman Lab podcast episode out now, I discuss how different forms of exercise impact brain health and performance in both the short and long term. I explain how many of the positive effects of exercise on brain function occur through the action of specific neurochemicals that increase alertness. - I also cover how to best time exercise and which specific types of exercise to include in your weekly routine to maximize benefits for your brain. Additionally, I explain how certain types of exercise trigger the release of a hormone from your bones called osteocalcin, as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Together, these substances increase neuroplasticity and enhance learning. - The positive effects of exercise on brain oxygenation, blood supply, and fuel utilization are also discussed. Listeners will learn how to design a weekly exercise program that optimizes physical fitness, brain health, longevity, and performance, along with the mechanistic logic behind those recommendations. - To access the episode in all formats go to hubermanlab.com It is time stamped in detail so you can navigate quickly to the topics and protocols (labeled “tool”) most of interest to you. - Meanwhile, if you have any questions about the topics in this episode or suggestions of other guests or topics you’d like me to cover on the Huberman Lab podcast, please put those in the comment section below this post. And as always, thank you for your interest in science! - @hubermanlab @stanford.med @stanford - #neuroscience #science #ciencia #neurociencia #exercise #brain #bdnf #osteocalcin #energy #adrenaline #endothelial #neuroplasticity #protocols
