I had a rare and aggressive cancer when I was 19 (I’m 32 now). This may sound unbelievable, but at one appointment, (after months of chemo that was not proving very effective) my doctor asked me if I wanted to know my prognosis. I decided not to know. About a year later, after I was fully cancer free, I found out I had a less than 10% chance of survival. I think not knowing that information may have saved my life. I can’t imagine the fear that would have taken over my mind if I knew my odds were so bad.

She is a GEM! Andrew is right, one of the few conversations and people that motivates you to rethink EVERYTHING! Please bring her back on. She is an absolute delight.

As an autistic person who feels on many days that the world was so fundamentally not built for me, I NEEDED to hear <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYAgf_lfio4&t=4430">1:13:50</a> (And even more, I need others to hear it too:)<br><br>"the more different you are from the person who wrote the rule, the more important it is for you not to mindlessly follow the rule" - Dr. Ellen Langer

After listening to almost every new episode of the Huberman Lab podcast, I have the biggest urge to comment and say that "this is the best one so far". THIS IS THE BEST ONE SO FAR! This episode felt like a culmination of all the psychological and biological discussions on the podcast. We're putting the pieces of the puzzles together and realizing that there is actually no mind-body dichotomy, and that it is all one system. As an environmental psychology researcher, to me this fracturing of the human experience is reminiscent of the false human-nature dichotomy. The day we finally realize the one-ness and interconnectedness of all being from an eco-centric lens, is the day we can heal ourselves and as an extension our human societies and non-human relative and our planet.

This will sound insane but my grandmother was born in 1901. She was a very strong willed person who raised 11 children alone after my grandfather walked out on all of them. In 1979 during routine exams it was discovered she had a cancerous tumor in her head. Drs wanted to operate right away. I remember her stubbornly resisting any such diagnosis even tho the drs said she only had perhaps a year without intervention. She refused to believe it and said she was just fine. She lived to be 85 years old. Your guest reminds me of her. Excellent interview!!

2 minutes into the conversation and my mind is already blown! She got me at "uncertainty isn't an exception it's a rule"

She refused every step of the way to be interviewed—she was the interviewER! :)) I had some big laughs out of it and watched the BEST conversation in such a long time. It's these moments that I am truly thankful for—the internet, YouTube, and Dr. Huberman—for allowing us to find and listen to such gems of human beings that we would otherwise never have had the opportunity to.
