In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain strategies for managing stress, both in the short and long term, to enhance overall well-being.I explain how the mind and body respond to stress and how acute stress has immune-boosting benefits. I discuss science-supported tools and supplements to better manage stress in real time and protocols for raising one's stress threshold to build resilience to life’s inevitable challenges. I also describe practices to reduce chronic stress and maintain a balanced, healthy life. 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 episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanFunction: https://functionhealth.com/hubermanEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/hubermanTimestamps00:00:00 Huberman Lab Essentials; Emotions & Stress00:02:37 What is Stress?00:04:23 Short-Term Stress Response00:06:49 Breathwork to Reduce Stress; Tool: Physiological Sigh00:11:52 Physiologic Sigh, Carbon Dioxide & Rapid Stress Reduction00:13:30 Sponsor: Function00:15:18 Short-Term Stress, Positive Benefits, Immune System00:18:22 Tool: Deliberate Hyperventilation, Adrenaline & Infection00:22:49 Sponsor: AG100:24:25 Raising Stress Threshold, Tool: Eye Dilation00:28:24 Mitigating Long-Term Stress; Tool: Social Connection, Delight00:32:22 Sponsor: Eight Sleep 00:33:52 Melatonin, Caution00:35:00 L-theanine, Ashwagandha00:36:13 Recap & Key TakeawaysDisclaimer & Disclosures Learn more about your ad choices.
