what can I do about this to increase my energy?

To increase your energy, Andrew Huberman recommends several strategies:

1. Cortisol Management: Understanding the role of cortisol, which can be optimized by practices like exposure to morning light to time its natural increase. This has an impact on both physical readiness and mental calmness 1.

2. Physical Activity: Engaging in early morning exercise can significantly boost your energy. Activities such as intense exercise amplify the morning peak of cortisol, which is beneficial for energy levels throughout the day 2.

3. Dopamine and Epinephrine Regulation: By reframing how you think about activities to increase enjoyment, you can enhance the release of dopamine and epinephrine, which boosts energy levels. Consistent physical activity also elevates epinephrine, contributing to long-lasting energy 1 3.

4. Exercise and Caffeine: Regular physical activity and strategic caffeine use (delaying intake until 90-120 minutes after waking) can prevent energy dips and maximize daily energy levels 4.

These methods combine behavioral adjustments, physiological understanding, and timing optimization to boost and maintain high energy levels.
