Cold, dry air makes us more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections as viruses and bacteria primarily enter through the nose and mouth, making them our main barriers to infections. Constantly fighting off infections, the mucus lining in our nose and mouth traps viruses and bacteria. Spending time in cold, dry environments thins the mucosal lining, making it less robust.
Welcome to a preview of the seventh Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode, part of the Huberman Lab Premium subscription.
The Huberman Lab Premium subscription was launched for two main reasons. First, it was launched in order to raise support for the standard Huberman Lab podcast channel — which will continue to come out every Monday at zero-cost. Second, it was launched as a means to raise funds for important scientific research. A significant portion of proceeds from the Huberman Lab Premium subscription will fund human research (not animal models) selected by Dr. Huberman, with a dollar-for-dollar match from the Tiny Foundation.
