Dr. Robert Sapolsky: Science of Stress, Testosterone & Free Will | Episode 35

In this episode, I interview Dr. Robert Sapolsky, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Neurology & Neurosurgery at Stanford University. We discuss stress, what defines short-term versus long-term stress, and how stress can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on the context. We also discuss stress mitigation and how our sense of control over stress mitigation techniques, including exercise, determine health outcomes. Dr. Sapolsky explains some of the key effects of the hormone testosterone — how it can amplify pre-existing tendencies for aggression or sexual behavior, but that it does not produce those behaviors per se. He also explains how testosterone impacts our social hierarchies, sense of confidence, and willingness to embrace challenges of different kinds. He also explains how our behaviors and perceptions shape testosterone levels. And we discuss estrogen and the powerful role it plays in brain development, health and longevity. Finally, we discuss free will, what it means to have free will, and if we have any free will, including how knowledge alone might allow us to make better decisions for ourselves and society.    Thank you to our sponsors: ROKA - https://roka.com - use code "huberman" InsideTracker - https://insidetracker.com/huberman  Belcampo - https://belcampo.com/huberman    Our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/andrewhuberman    Supplements from Thorne: http://www.thorne.com/u/huberman    Social: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab  Twitter - https://twitter.com/hubermanlab  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab   Website - https://hubermanlab.com  Join Newsletter - https://hubermanlab.com/neural-network    Links: Dr. Sapolsky's most recent book, "Behave: The Biology of Humans At Our Best & Worst": https://amzn.to/3yrZ6k7  Support Research in the Huberman Lab at Stanford on Stress, Sleep & Human Performance: https://hubermanlab.stanford.edu/giving    Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction: Dr. Robert Sapolsky  00:02:26 Sponsors: Roka, Inside Tracker, Belcampo  00:06:30 Stress: Short & Long-Term, Good & Bad  00:09:11 Valence & Amygdala  00:11:00 Testosterone: Common Myths vs. Actual Truths  00:15:15 Behaviors that Affect Testosterone   00:17:20 Mindsets & Contexts that Affect Testosterone 00:20:28 How Finger Length Ratios Reflect Prenatal Hormone Levels   00:22:30 Aggression: Male-Female, Female-Male, & Female-Female  00:24:05 Testosterone: The Challenge Hypothesis  00:29:20 How Dopamine Impacts Testosterone & Motivation  00:32:32 Estrogen: Improves Brain & Longevity BUT TIMING IS KEY  00:39:40 Are Testosterone & Sperm Counts in Males Really Dropping?  00:42:15 Stress Mitigation & Our Sense of Control  00:51:35 How Best to Buffer Stress  00:57:04 Power of Perception, Choice & Individual Differences  01:00:32 Context-Setting, Prefrontal Cortex & Hierarchy  01:11:20 How Dr. Sapolsky Accomplishes Deep Thinking   01:13:17 Do We Have Free Will?  01:20:50 How to Apply Knowledge & Learning   01:23:44 Robert's New Book: “Determined: The Science of Life Without Free Will”  01:28:27 Reflections, Support of Podcast, & Supporting Stress Research    Please note that The Huberman Lab Podcast is distinct from Dr. Huberman's teaching and research roles at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Make Your Life Magnificent with Jackie + Mimi

There was a time when age was revered and respected. The wise old owl wasn’t criticized for his age and instead, people would gather round and lean into his stories hoping to get a glimpse of his knowledge.Age isn’t just a number when it comes to your career or looking for a job. Ageism, the discrimination against one because of their age can range from comments, not getting an interview, being passed over for a promotion or even the ultimate heave-ho out the door. In this week’s episode we are going to talk about what steps you can take to overcome ageism. Not surprising, it is worse for women. According to a survey done by Know Your Value, 70% of women believe age discrimination is a serious problem, compare to 54% for men. According to 2019 Hiscox Ageism in the Workplace Study 20% of people over 40 have experienced discrimination at their job. And 58% of workers in their 50’s have experienced age discrimination. (Brandon Gaille Research)Visier, is a people analytics firm found that in the tech industry, promotions decrease starting the age of 36!There’s this phenomenon no one is talking about, especially for women.In beauty 50 is the new 40. In business 40 is the new 50.While ageism is real, you can stay and/or get back into the game.#1. Start with thoroughly assessing your skills and experience. Don’t underestimate any of your experience and how it can translate into value for a potential role or company. Create a story that illustrates how you are the perfect person for this role. #2. Own your experience… all of it. Do not underestimate the power of what you may consider “softer skills” like managing difficult personalities (raising teenagers anyone?) or having patience and empathy. #3. Speak to your enthusiasm for the position, role, and organization.#4. Show that you're savvy. Yes, you need to be as digitally savvy as possible. This means updating your LinkedIn and even more, engaging on it. Write posts, leave thoughtful comments. #5. Make friends across generations. Networks matter and smart networking will get you in the door a lot faster than responding to help wanted posts. However, make sure you network across generations. We can learn from one another and support each other too.#6. Don’t overlook your style.

We’re now on the 9th episode of Daniel Carbonel’s Wake Up to Freedom Podcast and he’s brought in a very special guest who is the REAL DEAL SEO Expert with tons of experience under his belt. As you may already know most of Daniel’s guests often talk about their humble beginnings and how they developed their internet empires by honing their internet marketing skills. Nat too was once just an average college dude that was reaching for the stars, until one day he successfully redirected web traffic to a site called, Sumo (formerly Sumo Me) where it went from 5,000 – 170,000 monthly visitors! If you’re into SEO as well, then you’re probably interested on how he did that, right? Well, don’t fret, because that’s exactly what we will discuss in this blog post. Getting to Know Nat Eliason Nat Eliason is the owner and operator of Growth Machine, host of the Made You Think and Nat Chat podcasts where he hosts all of his writing on psychology, self-education, philosophy, health, finance and including himself in general. Before Nat became the big success that he is now, he only had a degree in philosophy and good writing chops, but he was able to do great with that skill and developed his SEO and general digital marketing skills. After working for Sumo he left and started his own business called Growth Machine, and it’s pretty self-explanatory on what they do here, which is build your website from zero to hundreds of thousands of page views per month in a matter of months. He has proven his SEO skills with this that is why many high profile companies either want to hire his services from Growth Machine or want to hire him to work for them exclusively! But Nat doesn’t like to be confined in an office doing the same thing over and over for years, no, his dynamic personality is reflected in what he does. His Made You Think podcast is one of the best podcasts to listen to as much as the podcast of Daniel Carbonel – Wake Up to Freedom Podcast. Nat likes to read books a lot, but he doesn’t just read any typical books, no, he’s particularly meticulous when it comes to reading content and he loves thought-provoking books most of all. What Kind of Business Should You Create and How Best to Apply SEO to it in Order to Keep it Going? When Daniel Carbonel asked Nat about what was the most difficult part in creating his lifestyle business, Nat gave a very compelling answer which will resonate in each one of us. He said that “creating something really good that would stay good that allows for the lifestyle business level of hands-offness.” And that your business must come from your passion – things that you love doing that even if money wasn’t an issue, you’d still do them because you love doing them. In other words, Nat is telling you to find what you are passionate about, root out the skill or skills that’s a derivative of it, and then build a business around it. For Nat, his passion was primarily writing and from that, he derived skills like content marketing and SEO. And as for keeping your business going, well, Nat recommends that you find a niche, narrow down on the needs of the customers in that particular niche, and then offer a solution to their problems. If you keep identifying the problems in every website niche that you research and be able to provide the most efficient solutions for addressing those problems, then you will never run out of customers. Nat’s Advice on How to be Motivated Nat is against procrastination because it makes a person unproductive and wastes his or her time, which is not good for business or someone who wants to have an entrepreneurial mindset. Believing in the 80 – 20 principle is also counterintuitive as it only makes you think that you are or you can be better than anyone, when in fact, you really aren’t. It will inflate your ego making you think that doing 20% can get you 80% results, so it’s, therefore, better to give it your 100% or none at all. For instance,

In the second segment of today's episode, we'll air another conversation with William Budington, a digital security expert and trainer about the Signal end-to-end text encryption app for smart phones and desktops. Signal, produced by WhisperSys, is an easy to use, free means for folks to avoid one type of surveillance in their day to day communication. The ubiquitous, normalized use of encryption shields the purpose of the use, obscuring whether the practice is to shield illegal activity or not. In the conversation we talk about the human failure side of communication, as well as the informational leakage possibilities of the devices we use to engage Signal app. If you really enjoy the pie-baking/Betty Crocker metaphor, don't despair, it doesn't end with this segment.

Editorial Now, it's my turn for a brief editorial, dear listeners. This is Bursts. I grew up in a part of so-called California known as Sonoma County, lands stolen from the Pomo and the Miwok peoples first by the Spanish, then by Mexico and Russia and then the U.S. I lived there from the mid-1980's through 2009 and consider it my home in a way I could no other place. The rolling hills, the foggy mornings, the Coastal Live Oak groves, the nasty but 100 year old Eucalyptis groves, the early evening sky that turns a goldish orange into purple, the Manzanita, the people, the ocean breeze coming out from Bodega. These are things that I remember fondly from the deeply damaged yet still beautiful biome I called home for most (and definitely the more formative years) of my life. This has been a year for spectacular disasters around this hemisphere, with a record 10th hurricane now appearing in the Carribean and southern U.S., 2 major earthquakes rocking Mexico and now the fires in Northern and Southern California. The fires in the north, which I've been paying more attention to because they QUITE literally bring home to me a sense of devastation I still haven't been able to digest from this distance, have been whipped up by winds, a seasonal dryness out of the ordinary and fed by the aftermath of a wet winter that created a ton of easy-to-burn fuels. California has long been racked by fires, but never this many deaths and never have they consumed large parts of cities as they have with Santa Rosa. Thousands of homes have been turned to ash, monuments standing over a hundred years are cinders, human and non-human animals have been killed, damaged and displaced. California is yet another part of the world feeling the first hand effects of anthropogenic climate change, after years of over-taxing it's water levels with large scale and animal and food agriculture, it's manicured industrial lawns, the barely regulated weed industry booming, the building of human settlements in the middle of deserts and the idea promoted by high levels of industry and state that as the 6th largest economy in the world it could buy itself climate chaos. Day by day, year by year, this is proven more and more a delusion. But I digress. I'd like to give a shout out to the brave folks doing search and rescue in my home away from home, the neighbors who look out for each other, that roused each other from sleep to escape the fire storms, who shelter and feed each other. Also to the fire professionals who are working to fight back the fires. An element of this that is under reported, of course, is the fact that over a thousand prisoners of the state of California and it's included counties, are putting their lives on the line for $1 to $2.56 a day to train and then fight these blazes. That can be compared to the $31.85 an hour of the median hourly wage for non-inmate firefighters. I would like to bring this up because as the climate becomes more chaotic and the ever-tighter squeeze of austerity capitalism turns further and further away from more sustainable and stable incomes like unionized firefighters this continues a nasty trend. Putting prisoners on the fire lines to fight the blazes, while more deadly for them than other modes of work, arguably offers them a potentially more meaningful and lucrative engagement with community service. This also fuels the profit motive of governments bent on incarcerating mostly poor communities of color, often people with chemical dependencies and neuro-divergencies the state can't be bothered to treat but to stick them in a concrete and steel cage. More prisoners means more low-pay and expendable firefighters who's crime was to be born the wrong color or class in the age of mass incarceration. I don't bring this up to denigrate those risking themselves to save lives and homes, whether a prisoner or not, but to point out that this is not how a community organizes itself for it's members, this is the logic of capital and thus streams value to the top of the pyramid. My heart goes out to those who suffer at the hands of these fires. Let's fight for futures where we are better prepared, where we don't employ slave labor to fight them, and everyone has what they need to live in true community, which means true accountability to the impact of our survival on the non-human environment with which we share this awesome world.

Volatility Views 49: How Best to Price Variance and Volatility Swaps Volatility Review: It's funny how it didn't take long for our prediction of a range-bound VIX to be proven wrong! The VVIX has been high. Is a tradable VIX of VIX in the works? What have the NASDAQ and SPX vol of vol six-month averages been? One-year? Don gives some remarkable numbers. Apple on the move downwards; some are eager to buy Apple at 600. NASDAQ vol cones, like most volatility readings, are at historical lows. Volatility Viewpoint: Today's guests, Thomas Thorsen and Emil Stamp, are the authors of the master's thesis, "Pricing of Variance and Volatility Swaps in a Stochastic Volatility and Jump Framework." The gang discusses pricing models of OTC variance swaps, the different models the authors created, and the accuracy of the models for both forecasting realized volatility, as well as pricing of variance swaps and GARCH models in real-world applications. Crystal Ball: Are you still shorting the VIX? Are higher levels forecasted for the future? Perception versus reality.

How Best to Avoid Dying, Owen Egerton. Dalton Publishing (2007, ISBN 9780974070377. Owen's collection of short stories weaves complimentary tales of death as diverse as spelling bees turned deadly; the unexpected side effects of Jesus miracles; and even a talking penis. Exposing the absurdities of contemporary bohemia, Egerton s collection is dark, funny and wholly original. From stage to page, this comedic transfer will appeal to the same smart, urban crowd who also loves Neal Pollack, or the Bret Easton Ellis of 20 years ago.
