Journal Club with Dr. Peter Attia | Effects of Light & Dark on Mental Health & Treatments for Cancer

In this journal club episode, my guest is Dr. Peter Attia, M.D., a Stanford and Johns Hopkins-trained physician focusing on healthspan and lifespan and the host of The Drive podcast.
We each present a peer-reviewed scientific paper chosen because it contains novel, interesting, and actionable data. First, we discuss a paper on how bright light exposure at sunrise and throughout the day and dark exposure at night independently improve mental health and can offset some of the major symptoms of mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. Then, we discuss an article that explores a novel class of immunotherapy treatments to combat cancer. We also discuss some of the new data on low-calorie sweeteners and if they are safe. This episode should be of interest to listeners curious about maximizing their vitality and longevity and to anyone seeking science-supported ways to improve mental health and lifespan.

{Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for the wise. Who remember God while standing or sitting or on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, saying: "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire. Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire, You have disgraced them, and there are no helpers for the wrongdoers. Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the righteous. Our Lord, grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in promise." And their Lord responded to them, "Never will I allow to be lost the work of any worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed, I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from God, and God has with Him the best reward."}

After decades of feeling groggy and like I have a very low level hangover almost daily, sleeping in 11-12 hours a day, brain fog, literally unable to formulate sentences properly. You have changed my life Andrew, I spent the majority of my twenties gaming 7-14 hours a day and rarely viewing ANY sunlight in a small dark bedroom 90% of my time, and vitamin D deficient. I felt suicidal and depressed most of that time and struggled with daily tasks as felt tired a lot. I thought I had chronic fatigue syndrome but was completely oblivious to the effect light has on the human body. I get by on around 7-9 hours of sleep daily and feel OK. I am almost crying writing this because my life was a meaningless mess up until age 30 or so. I really cannot thank you enough and will continue to support your work. You really have benefitted me in incredible ways.

[@ChristoScriven]

After over 10 years on self-improvement, the number one thing I’ve come to understand is that I am most disciplined, strong, fulfilled, loving, and present, when everything I do is an expression of a healthy self worth. I have nothing to prove, not even to myself. I realise that I am worthy of my own honour and respect, and that of others. If I’m not treating myself in the best way to honour the highest side of myself, or I’m allowing others to treat me badly, then something is off. I honour the passions and purposes I feel called toward by diligently working toward them. I work on myself everyday and reap the rewards, not because I need to so I can feel good about myself, but because guess what, I’m worth it. I deserve to be happy, healthy and prosperous, so do you.

[@jjuniper274]

Drs. Thank you. My brother died of melanoma 30+ years ago that first began in his eye, then 5 years later occurred on his skin and metastasised. I was watching a Mayo Clinic documentary and his eye cancer would now have localized treatment with a radiation eye patch, with a high degree of successful treatment. Also, I'd like to add that my brother did donate his eye to scientific research at Mayo Clinic, and likely it was used to help develop these new therapies. For the listeners to this podcast. Please, please, please consider giving your body or some of it to science. You never know how many people you can help save.

Very sorry for loss. I always find myself pondering as to how much influence the mind has over our physicality. Would you mind if I asked whether or not your brother generally was a happy guy ? Conditions such as fibromyalgia don't appear to have a definable cause so again it makes me wonder if people claiming to suffer from it have just worked themselves into a critical state of mental health. BTW, I'm exploring psychology as a career. Thank you for reading this.

I have a young son recently in remission...learning that even if "cancer free", his life and physiology is now forever changed. We have learned A LOT and have even more questions, but are determined to learn and live and contribute to the fullest with what came our way as a family. The information out there is abundant and yet so much of it still isn't understood...I am no one....first responder, grunt, Mom, but I research in order to "deal", if you would. It is as you said, "sobering", especially as a parent. Just wanted to say "thank you" for having not just this conversation, but all of them. Much love and rooting for you from Corpus Christi, Texas brotha🤙🎗️

I am being treated at MD Anderson with chemotherapy and Keytruda and my oncologist is very optimistic that Keytruda will extend my life. I’m eager to discuss the information provided in this episode with him before my next treatment. Thank you, thank you for providing such important information.

I love how these guys are educating each other while they educate us. They’re easy to learn from because they break things down into layman’s terms and illustrations. Ironically without giving listeners the feeling of the information having been dumbed down. Thanks Guys! You’ve both significantly improved my life! I’m so very grateful!

[@skiv7777]

I would love to see you discuss how many people choose to go an alternative route to beating cancer, and succeed. I have just started to research other treatments and I find it fascinating. I agree with Dr Attia, these drugs are not improving quality of life, or extending life for much longer. Patients have the right to choose how to treat their bodies. Thank you for your discussions.

What a fantastic episode. I’d be interested in the sunscreen podcast but please for all that is holy, invite a toxicologist and a cosmetic chemist! They are the relevant experts.

I just finished listening to this podcast, it was fantastic. My mom died of pancreatic cancer while she was being treated for metastatic melanoma. I heard you mention the connection and maybe a genetic factor, so now I am worried about me and my siblings. My mom was tested for Lynch syndrome and we were told she didn't have the gene. My mom got sick and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, they said it was early stage and she had a successful whipple surgery. During the scans they found a lump in her upper arm which they removed and found out it was melanoma so they then did a full body scan and found a tumor in her color which when biopsied found it was melanoma. She was being treated with Keytruda and every scan showed the tumor was shrinking and we were so excited it was almost gone and she felt great while doing the treatments, it seemed to up her appetite and give her more energy. Then the pancreatic cancer appeared in her liver and she died within the next month. I would like know how I can find out more about this melanoma and pancreatic cancer connection you mentioned. Thank you.

[@LukasJLowry]

Dr. Huberman, your content is actionable, fascinating and informative in many regards. As a listener, I’ve gained a myriad of tools, protocols and knowledge from listening to your podcast for some time. I’ve noticed, throughout my time listening to your podcast, you call out how the audience may correct a statement made in the comment section, a statement may be controversial or the audience may not like something you or a guest have said in a particular conversation. I understand these statements might be made for comedic relief, rebuttals of your own stance or acknowledgement of the listener. In any case, since you read all the comments, I’d take it you’ll see this one. In short, I’m asking to please consider not making these types of comments since you’re indeed the expert/one with vast knowledge on these subjects and you’re being gracious enough to share this valuable, actionable and awesome information. Either way, thank you, Dr. Huberman. I hope to converse at some point in life.

My workload hasn't changed but I'm feeling sleepy a lot earlier than usual. I don't know if that's good or bad. My sleep has been consistent and I always feel refreshed when I wake up. All it did it shifted my sleep. I just wake up a lot earlier, always getting 6-7hrs of sleep. If I get any more sleep, over 8hrs I always have a headache.

Hello! Love the podcast. I was wondering if you'd ever consider doing a series on Neurobiology 101 (kind of like how MIT does those free open courses). I'm talking specifics as if this were a freshman year undergrad class on the topic. I know that's a lot of work but I think it'd be a big hit for people interested (including me!)

I appreciate all you do to serve. I work with Vocal Bioacoustics, Voicework specifically using resonance, Oral pharyngeal exercises and chiaroscuro ( light and dark balance) of the body to assist with breathwork and Carl Stough breathing method. He helped the 1968 Olympians for performing at high altitude and people with emphysema copd sleep apnea etc. I was wondering if you could delve deep into Bioacoustics for humans I've recently read Stanford University Cardiologist Sean Wu, MD, PhD and Utkan Demirci, PhD, an acoustic bio-engineer uses acoustics to manipulate heart cells into intricate patterns. A simple change in frequency and amplitude puts the cells in motion, guides them to a new position, and holds them in place. It went on to say...Acoustics can create a form that resembles natural cardiac tissue. With sound they can create new tissue to replace parts of damaged hearts. Acoustics can be used in reconstructing other organ tissue and blood vessels.

Assalomu alaykum Mr Andrew I am from Uzbekistan and currently I am learning English and I am doing shadowing at your videos because your accent is so clear. Thank you very much. I don't think you mind me doing this.

Hello and thank you both for sharing your wisdom! I'm wondering if either of you have explored how heavy metal impacts the mind. As someone who's recently been diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning and has started treatment, I've noticed immediate improvements in sense of smell, mental cognition, a reduced reactivity to triggers, and an increased ability to control emotions. The change in brain function is eye opening.
