Huberman Lab podcast #56 - stress

Stress is manifold, complex; it is bad (stressing people out) yet sometimes good as it helps your body build up and release healthy nutricients and hormones.

Drug vs placebo effect is confusing. Placebo effect has been proving, but the effect of the actual drug is the combined effect of the chemical drug PLUS the placebo effect.

You only stress about things you care about; own the stress, understand why you care.

Thinking you eat healthy while you eat something "average" nutricious is counter productive; your body will think it is still hungry; and ghrelin, the hunger hormone, will not go down as fast. It's better to believe you're eating something delicious and unhealthy when you *are* eating unhealthy, because your mindset will help spur your body into thinking it had enough.
