In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how to manage pain and accelerate injury recovery by leveraging protocols to modulate pain perception. I discuss how pain interpretation is a complex experience, shaped by both internal factors like emotions and genetics, as well as external factors, such as context. I explain how practical strategies like acupuncture, breathing techniques, exercise and temperature modulation can influence the body’s pain response and accelerate recovery. I also discuss topics like phantom limb pain, recovering from traumatic brain injury and the crucial role inflammation plays in the healing process. Huberman Lab Essentials are short episodes (approximately 30 minutes) focused on essential science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes. Essentials will be released every Thursday, and our full-length episodes will still be released every Monday.Read the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/hubermanDavid: https://davidprotein.com/hubermanTimestamps00:00:00 Huberman Lab Essentials; Neuroplasticity00:01:58 Somatosensory System, Pain00:05:22 Pain vs Injury; Genes00:07:38 Sponsor: Eight Sleep00:09:09 Touch, Sensitivity, Pain, Inflammation00:11:24 Phantom Limb Pain, Top-Down Modulation00:15:31 Traumatic Brain Injury, Aging & Glymphatic System; Tools: Side Sleeping, Zone 2 Cardio00:20:36 Sponsor: AG100:21:49 Pain Interpretation, Adrenaline, Emotion & Love00:25:03 Acupuncture; Somatosensory System, Pain, Gut & Inflammation00:32:15 Sponsor: David00:33:31 Tool: Wim Hof Method, Tummo Breathing, Pain00:34:29 Tools: Injury Management, Ice or Heat?00:38:10 Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Stem Cells00:39:43 Recap & Key TakeawaysDisclaimer & Disclosures Learn more about your ad choices.
