Controlling Sugar Cravings & Metabolism with Science-Based Tools | Huberman Lab Podcast #64

I explain how to blunt sugar cravings through fundamental knowledge of how sugar is sensed, metabolized, and utilized within the body. I explain how sugar is processed through the digestive tract and nervous system and how both the taste and nutritive components of sugar can lead to specific appetite changes and cravings. I discuss the connection between sugar, dopamine, and cravings and outline many tools to curb sugar cravings, specifically craving highly processed refined sugars.

MY MISSION
To raise awareness about non-hyperactive ADHD (what I call "Hidden ADHD") to help others who are struggling with it. I want them to know what they can do about it. I want them to know that they're not lazy, unmotivated, and willfully irresponsible. I want them to know they can realize their potential and create the life of their dreams.

Hidden anxiety is not actually a clinical term. Hidden anxiety refers to anxiety symptoms that are not covered in the DSM. This video is intended to bring attention to less obvious signs of anxiety people might not be aware of. These symptoms may be experienced by anyone, regardless of whether they have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Are you a friend of someone who is experiencing symptoms of anxiety that are difficult to identify?

Disclaimer: This video is not intended to diagnose you or anyone else. A professional diagnosis is required in order to receive the best possible treatment. However, you can use this video to help explain your symptoms to your doctor.

According to the American Psychological Association 2017, people suffering from anxiety are prone to a future-oriented fear that leads them to avoid situations that might trigger a stress response. In 2017, the National Institute of Mental Health reported that approximately 40 million people worldwide suffer from anxiety.

Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, but recent surveys show that only 36.9% of those suffering from it seek treatment. People with anxiety may worry about being judged by others or how stigmatizing mental illness could negatively impact their lives.
