Essentials: How to Control Your Metabolism by Thyroid & Growth Hormone

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how two key
hormones control metabolism and discuss tools to enhance their
levels to improve metabolic health. I discuss the pathways through
which the brain and body interact to produce thyroid hormone and
growth hormone, and how these hormones influence essential
processes like tissue growth and repair, body composition, and
energy production. I explain how thyroid hormone levels are
influenced by key nutrients, such as iodine, selenium, and
L-tyrosine. I also explain how practices such as exercise, sleep,
meditation and sauna can offset age-related declines in growth
hormone, to optimize overall hormone health and metabolism. Read
