Cannabis is involved in memory formation. It's also involved in forgetting. We have active processes in the brain that are designed to discard certain memories and events. CBD likely has effects on some of these pathways as well, but we don't really know what those are yet.
Part of enjoying life is taking care of your brain. So I wanted to invite Dr. Andrew Huberman (one of the world's leading neuroscientists) back on to tell us how to create happy chemicals in our brains (naturally) and feel good more often.
Here's a list of what we talked about:
- How to optimize your brain to be as happy as possible, as energetic as possible, and as smart as possible
- How to create more happy chemicals
- Human evolution and why our brain functions the way it does
- The purpose of serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, and how to create each of these daily
- Why gratitude helps us slow down and connect
- Different mental health drugs and supplements
- The power of sunlight
- Cocaine
- How to train your brain to focus
- What causes good sleep
- Puberty
- Books we recommend
- How to shake off the residue of the day
- Nootropics
and more!
