Pat Dossett sat down with neuroscientist and Madefor’s Lead Advisor, Dr. Andrew Huberman to talk about mental health. Dr. Huberman talked about gauging your individual risk for mental illness, how mental health affects us all every day, and the eight critical habits for mental wellness: quality sleep, sunlight each day, movement, nutrition, hydration, social connection, deliberate decompression (NSDR or Physiological Sigh), and gratitude.
