The episode of the Huberman Lab podcast out now is about building a strong, stable and pain-proof back. Two points worth noting: hubermanlab.com/episode/protoc… 1) For those interested in other (compatible) back pain models, please note: I mention the biopsychosocial model in the current episode on back and it was covered in depth on the Huberman Lab podcast by Dr Sean Mackey MD PhD @DrSeanMackey of @StanfordMed here: hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-sea… (This is also linked in the show note caption for this current episode on back stability, strength and pain-proofing). 2) A few people have noted that my description/analogy of the disc-relative to spinal cord anatomy/trajectory didn’t capture the cord-relative-to-disc trajectory accurately. Thank you. While this doesn’t change the protocol takeaways in any way whatsoever, I am in the process of re-recording those segments to correct in the audio versions of this episode on Spotify and Apple etc. Alas, You Tube does not allow us to replace/insert specific segments so please know that the spinal cord does not project through the discs themselves and runs through the vertebrae more offset from the center than the “doughnut” analogy I used implies. This is a good diagram from Boston Medical Center: bmc.org/herniated-disc

The beauty of our robust lumbar discs, not a jelly donut, sweet pastry, or Oreo cookie in sight 😊
