Stanford's chair of male sexual health Mike Eisenberg recommends nearly every man over 40 take low-dose tadalafil daily for prostate perfusion and brain vasodilation.
Low-dose tadalafil may increase the number or sensitivity of androgen receptors, helping the body respond better to circulating testosterone.
Research shows that if you see a great sleep score, you perform better cognitively and physically even if your sleep was poor — and a bad score tanks performance even after good sleep.
The peptide pinealon, taken 3 nights a week from a compounding pharmacy, can spectacularly increase REM sleep according to Huberman.
Huberman warns that the commonly taken dose of 1–10 mg melatonin is far too high; the effective dose is closer to 300 micrograms, and high doses can interfere with puberty in children.
The US Secret Service was originally created in 1865 to combat counterfeit currency, not to protect the president.
Regular cannabis users get almost no REM sleep, and experience intense dream rebound when they stop using — a well-documented phenomenon.
The original Stanford marshmallow test data, as relayed by Huberman, shows that no child actually waited the full 15 minutes — yet how long they waited still predicted life outcomes.
Huberman recommends zinc oxide–only (mineral) sunscreen to avoid chemical-based endocrine disruptors, while emphasizing the importance of getting sunlight — especially longer-wavelength red/infrared light.
A hot shower before bed paradoxically lowers core body temperature via compensatory thermoregulation, which is a necessary prerequisite for sleep onset.
