Full Episode
Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life. I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. As some of you may know, our Huberman Lab team recently launched a new podcast called Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin.
Andy is a professor of kinesiology at Cal State Fullerton and is a world expert in exercise physiology and human performance.
this new podcast perform with dr andy galpin explores all aspects of human performance it shares the latest science and gives practical tools on things such as how to improve cardiovascular health how to build strength and muscle mass how to maximize recovery with nutrition and supplementation and much more what follows is the final episode of season one of perform with dr andy galpin
If you enjoy it, I encourage you to go and subscribe to it wherever you're listening now and to listen to the other nine episodes of season one. I'm certain you'll really enjoy this first season from Dr. Andy Galpin. And now, episode 10 of Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin.
The science and practice of enhancing human performance for sport, play, and life. Welcome to Perform. For the final time this season, welcome back, friends. I'm Dr. Andy Galpin. I'm a professor of kinesiology in the Center for Sport Performance at Cal State Fullerton.
So far in the first season of PERFORM, we've talked about everything from muscle to the immune system to liver and lungs, metabolism, genetics, sleep, blood work. And so I thought we have to end this thing on what I hate giving credit to, because I'm a muscle guy, but probably deserves it. And that's the brain.
There are obviously many factors that go into getting your brain to perform at its best. But today I want to focus specifically on what you can do from a nutrition perspective to reduce your risk of, as well as recover faster from brain injuries, concussions, and TBIs. I think it's worth reminding you though, that if it's good for preventing and returning faster from a brain injury,
It's probably safe to assume it's also good for brain performance as well as long-term health. Now I'm particularly passionate about this subject having dealt with it a lot personally. I've had a concussion or two myself and I've spent much of my career working with athletes prone or at high risk of developing similar injuries.
This includes football players, wrestlers, fighters, boxers, and so forth. That said, those are not the only people at risk of a brain injury. In fact, those things are quite common and not only in athletes. So I'm really excited about this topic because brain injuries are really common. They can be completely debilitating.
