Dr. Gary Steinberg: How to Improve Brain Health & Offset Neurodegeneration

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Gary Steinberg, MD, PhD, a neurosurgeon and a professor of neurosciences, neurosurgery, and neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss brain health and brain injuries, including concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, aneurysm, and transient ischemic attacks (TIA). We discuss key and lesser-known risk factors for brain health and explain how certain treatments and medications can improve brain health and cognitive function.
We also cover novel mechanisms to improve recovery after concussions and brain injury, including the use of stem cells, temperature (mild hypothermia), and vagus nerve stimulation. Dr. Steinberg also describes new advances in neurosurgery and minimally invasive brain augmentation.
This episode ought to be of interest to anyone seeking actionable tools to improve their brain health and for those seeking to improve recovery after a brain injury such as concussion, stroke, aneurysm, or TBI.

In 2002 at the age of 17 I had a grand mal seizure. My mom called Dr. Steinberg’s office crying after getting 2 different opinions. Even though his schedule was full, he found a way to get me in his schedule. He diagnosed me with an arterial venous malformation that caused a vein to leak blood in my brain. He performed surgery on me in October of 2002 and today I’m fully healthy . Dr. Steinberg, I wanted to let you know that I’m now 38, I have had a life filled of love, great relationships and memories because of your work. I was lifting weights before work when I saw your podcast with Dr. Huberman on my KZbin feed, it gave me chills. With love, admiration, and respect, I thank you with all my heart and brain for saving my quality of life. Christ be with you my friend. Dave Purpura

[@hayleyfoster3321]

Three weeks ago my 14 yr old daughter had an aneurysm burst inside of an AVMin her left frontal lobe. Over the course of 4 days, she had 4 brain surgeries to save her life. One week after the first surgery, she was sent home to recover. Her recovery has been miraculous - in the words of her own doctor. She's still got a ways to go to get her speech and language back but she's doing great and her attitude is that of a warrior (with a smile). She had half a head of hair when she left the hospital and decided to go full buzz cut. We donated 14 inches of her gorgeous hair to a local charity that makes FREE wigs for patients with medical hair loss. When all of this began, you were the first person I wanted to call to see if you knew anything about this... and then you release this (thank you). Reading the comments below of people who have survived similar situations is helping me to get through this. She hardly remembers any of the past few weeks while every second of it is a vivid memory for me. I'll be going back to your PTSD episodes to figure out the help I need to get through this as her mom. Thank you, and Dr. Steinberg, for this episode and for all of the comments below. I'm beyond thankful to the medical team here on Long Island at Cohen's Children's Medical Center and LIJ (Dr. Mark Mittler and Dr. Henry Woo and Dr. Thomas Link) who saved my child.

And how these impact the brain, especially after having a TBI.

[@janeca10]

My mother had an aneurism at age 80 , me and my brother took her quick to Quinta Dor Hospital, in Rio. When Doctors told us she was going through an embolization ( via catheter from the groin to get to the brain) , we did not know how safe that was.. and gosh we were afraid! The neurosurgeons saved her life and the best is that she has no sequels from the aneurism embolization.. So we are living in a new world of possibilities. 😍

Dr. Steinberg's insights into brain health are enlightening, emphasizing the critical role of lifestyle choices in neurological wellness. Regular check-ups and proactive health management can significantly enhance brain function and prevent degeneration 🧠.

I like the information so far. I have a longtime neurological finger issues with both hands called slow channel disorder which only affects my fingers and there is no known treatment or advancement since I’ve had this brain issue since the 80’s. I am a pianist which is ironic that I can’t move my fingers. I can’t perform live because of it. This led me to understand neuroscience and brain health and the communication between our brain , muscles, nerves. Thank you Andrew for the vast wealth of useful information and helping us understand more about all areas of health and introduce us to these fine professionals in health!

[@marie_dlf]

I had a brain bleed so heavy that it nearly took me out. I was only 24 when it happened - was born with an AVM malformation that burst due to stress. I went thru surgery like explained in this podcast. with that catheter up from the knee (rather than groin) into the brain- the neurosurgeons saved my life! they did have to drill into my skull to leak the excessive bleeding, but the scar on my scalp is minor. Unfortunately I was left with chronic pain from nerve damage but hey, am eternally grateful to still be around. Team SCIENCE 😍

Great guest and podcast. It's great to give so much information for those who have had stroke and other injuries to their brain. The most important topic for me was , the information on the injury from chiropractor neck manipulation injury. Years ago I used to go to chiropractor and the neck manipulation was what I dreamed most . He used to ask me questions to distract me so I stayed relaxed during neck manipulation. If I ever go again, I will not allow that neck procedure . Thank you for that information .

Please can you do a podcast on cholesterol and risk of heart disease. Levels and several other Dr say research show LDL alone is not enough to assess risk. It’s density that really matters. Research also shows while statins will reduce LDL it does t reduce risk of death in women. Given the increased risks of diabetes and cognitive decline associated with statin the pro’s con’s should better better understood. Thank you.

Much Gratitude! ...at age 18 i was in a bad car crash, black ice, first storm of the year & after the freezing ran stopped, 2 ft snow fell..they closed the highway it was so bad. But, at 10:30 PM..my step mum called & said if i didn't leave my girlfriends house & get home immediately, not to bother coming home again. Well..we tried, but didn't make it. Car was flattened like a pancake when it slid uncontrollably downhill & hit a natural stone wall causing it to roll a few times...& my neck & back were broken in 3 places. Got out of the wheelchair & Healed that with sheer determination..but..even though it's an invisible injury, i still feel the TBI, daily. Double vision if i get the slightest bit tired, absentee seizures, entire right side occasionally spazing up, etc...i won't take drugs & nothing the Drs around here have tried has helped...so..i'm hoping maybe..you guys will hit on something that helps :)

[@mushroomthump]

Dude, crazy story. Glad you ended up ok! I can imagine the guilt your stepmom had after that

[@MurphyBirnberg]

Oh man i feel for you. It does feel like a invisible injury. I have the same responses(? idk if thats the right word), but i try and eat well, sleep well and take brain breaks (do nothing etc). And maybe try microdosing and keeping happy :)

[@NuLiForm]

@@mushroomthump Truth be told...i could write a book that Stephen King would envy. Her? Guilt?..nope...dad, yes & i hated that cos it was not his fault..freak storm hit us early, is nobody's fault...but step mum was diagnosed a raging Psychotic Narc. she felt Nothing, zero empathy. Except anger that i was unable to work for several months, she liked that extra paycheck. Here is an example. Dad & i were walking around the house taking pics of the flowering bushes blooming & actually caught her hiding behind one, literally strangling kittens with her bare hands. Not kidding. my first thought was take a pic of her doing it. Then i rescued the last kitten. She flew into a rage..anyways..with that pic, things got better for dad & i......for everyone, including the cats, actually.

[@NuLiForm]

@@MurphyBirnberg Geez..i'm sorry...Hope those things help you? i eat well..but sleep, forget it..since the accident it's a trainwreck. Always been Polyphasic my whole life, So..i sleep when i can, in the chair or on the bed, wherever it works. Also i go to a Great Chiropractor 3 times a week..he's also a medical Dr. & keeps track of every little change. He recommended 'smoking' even before it became a thing..& also suggested a Morphine drip. But.the thing is..even though the State legalized it..the Fed has not..so the local police regularly harass/arrest people with the medical prescriptions as if they were street druggies. What actually is Microdosing? i've heard the word..but never any description.. Maybe it's worth looking into i guess? Gonna research it. Thanks! & You be Well, too, ok?

This was a fascinating episode. Dr. Steinberg spoke about the benefits of statin (other than its usual primary effect of reducing high LDL) and how he prescribes it to his patients. And surprisingly, my family friend (doc from Cleveland Clinic) had to push my PCP to prescribe me statin even after my PCP diagnosed me with high LDL. At first, no meds needed. And then after having a chat with the Cleveland doc, here you go, statin. I had asked my family friend if they provided any extra medical information to my PCP that I had not provided, and they said, no. I wonder why is there an inconsistency in medical treatment/diagnosis in the USA.

[@evanwoodard2323]

Who says you shouldn’t take them?

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

​@evanwoodard8286 If you haven't noticed (and apparently you haven't), there is still much controversy on the subject of using statins. I, personally, feel there may be a bit of scientific politics going on with some of these podcasts. (jmo) Here, for instance, the fact that statins do have anticoagulant properties was left out of this convo altogether. But it is a fact ... (anticoagulant) to the extent that anyone with history (as well as, I believe, familial history) of hemorrhagic stroke -should never be prescribed a statin. This IS bc statins do have (mild, I have read) , but nevertheless... anticoagulant properties. So, in this video...although many other anticoagulant type substances and meds were listed as having anticoagulant properties Statins were completely ommitted from the list. AND...in fact, the reason statins may be beneficial for anyone with a history of (again, including familial history) of ischemic stroke (a blockage type stroke; not a hemorrhagic type), IS because statins have anticoagulant properties. And yet...this important data about statins was completely ommitted here in this discussion. (And I DO feel that some integrity was lost, here, in the Statin discussion because this factual data was left unsaid. WHY🤷?...was this fact about Statins omitted?? Idk...but I do suspect bias, along with perhaps a bit of politics. (Jmo)

[@evanwoodard2323]

WE HAVE BEEN DOING RESTRAINT THERAPY FOR DECADES. rehab therapists, including myself, have done this successfully. You select the patients carefully for compliance and capacity. And prepare them for the frustration and slow improvement. Brains take a while to learn and grow. The more massively damaged and the older/more systemically ill the person is, the less response. Done with young children with CP, we get pretty amazing results.

I believe “inversions”, “hanging down”, “handstands” and all the yoga practices that puts the brain below the heart level increasing the blood flow to it, need a lot more research to see if there is some long term benefits and downsides in adopting those practices daily/weekly and if there is some sweet spot in time duration. I’m baffled nobody is actively researching them.

My blood pressure has always been 90 / 58 so I guess I will never have a stroke even though I had a TBI.

At 27 I was diagnosed with Paget’s Schroetter Syndrome. Short version is vein got pinched between rib and collar bone in my thoracic outlet from excessive effort in one position (pruning tree limbs with manual pole saw.) When I finally went to hospital, almost 2 weeks later, I immediately got admitted and the clot busting began so I could get a first rib resection. Because I waited so long my entire left arm was filled with clots after the initial pinch point. Vascular surgeon said I was very lucky after delaying treatment, and though I have what he loosely described as “scarring”in my vein, or chronic clotting in the upper extremity, I am essentially back to normal at 32. I take Xarelto daily, visit my vascular surgeon once a year, and mind my arm if it bothers me. Curious how this is will influence my later years though.

Love the Hubez. Best channel ever.....well one of my favourites anyway ❤

Dr. Huberman, have you done an episode on MS and how it affects the eyes, peripheral nerves, etc.? I'm interested in learning about the neurological effects Multiple Sclerosis has. I'm also interested in learning if there are other things that have similar neurological impacts but are not MS (mimics, I suppose).

[@ToshaReece-CedarSlices]

Haaaa. I started to wiggle in my set as well at the end but Totally worth it. Appreciation for you both, backed by Thanks and Praises.

All the sponsors? KZbin dont pay enough bro u gotta continually interupt the conversation? I specifically pay the youtube membership to avoid such annoyances. Aside from that thanks for the insightful exchange gentleman...

[@karenmcrobb3105]

If the sponsors pay for the podcast costs, I guess there is more money left for the research projects that get funded ...

DR HUBERMAN YOU'RE INFORMATIONS ON SCIENCE AND HEALTH HAS IMPROVED ME A LOT PREPARING FOR NEET UG AND MY WISH IS TO BECOME A NEUROSURGEON❤

[@Chadhelder09]

At the end of the podcast you can hear how much his voice sounds like Tom segura. Great podcast.

[@HumbleBee123]

Would it be possible to do podcast on piercings that are done on nerves, eg. Daith and vagus nerve and tragus. Guess you could incorporate acupuncture and go into other stimulation methods of nerves, how they work, benefits and risks etc.

I wish hyperbaric oxygen medicine was discussed for the treatment or prevention of strokes .

[@hubermanlab]

Andrew, a video on Lungs and Grateful if you cover how various pranayams or breathing exercises affect the lungs.

[@Laura-ln3or]

Still waiting for the SPF episode. Would love to see guests like Glow By Ramon, TheMelaninChemist, Dr. Dray, LabMuffinScience, AvaPerki, that could challenge your views on organic vs inorganic SPFs. More than enough experts in the field have called out some misinformation you said about SPFs, so I would love to see a discussion on this topic. Maybe a special episode with more than 1 guest.

[@tinashort5942]

I’d love it if you could deliver an episode on Tinnitus please…🙏

[@AndreaConrad-pr1kn]

Could you make an episode about "restless legs syndrome"? some members in my family suffer badly from this and no doctor seems to be able to help. It is such an impact on the quality of life with its impact on sleep and just daily life. I am sure many would benefit learn more about this syndrome and some ways to cope and improve this condition.

De Georgia Ede, psychiatrist, is against statins for brain health. Great podcast as usual!

[@Flow_with_G]

Another amazing conversation full of knowledge and wisdom! Have you thought of inviting someone like Michael Shacklock and talk about neurodynamics? This will be super interesting!

[@nei450]

Can you please make a video on psychopathy and criminal behavior and tendencies? I'm working in forensic psychiatry and am interested

[@more.art.less.war.]

Andrew, please have Paul Stamets on to talk about micology. He's doing some really cool research.

[@alisonl6767]

Yes, Paul is fascinating.
