Hi Chris, not sure if you got to look into it but regarding the whole deal with plurals and whether they end in an -i. It depends on if the word is based on Latin. As platypuses' and octopuses' names aren't based on Latin, they don't get an -i, even though it sounds more appropriate. Something like that anyway.
Had LASIK about a decade ago myself so just a couple of points to add: (1) LASIK only fixes short-sightedness (i.e. where things are blurry at distance), it cannot fix long-sightedness. (2) As you age your eyes tend to become long-sighted - so there is a possibility that short-sighted people may find this condition may correct to some degree as they age - and LASIK surgery will not prevent that from happening. I now have to use reading glasses as I have become slightly long-sighted, but my distance sight (which was what was corrected with LASIK) is still sharp. (3) Regarding flaring of headlights etc. when driving at night - yep, still get that to a degree. (4) I know you're not supposed to do it, but my eyes were comfortable enough after the surgery that I drove myself home.
Thank you so much Chris and team for hosting me! I really appreciate your questions and insights and desire to share with the world. I now also know what larping is thanks to you.
Hey boss Cosplay isn’t necessarily a kink. It just means costume play. An example of LARPing are those medieval festivals where people stay in character. The comment section gots you in everything non neuroscience lol.
About RUclips, I’m 73, it’s on the tv screen and on all day. I hear and watch while cleaning cooking walking. It keeps me entertained and engaged. I’m subscribed to 100’s of channels and feel I’m mentally productive and current. start a conversation anytime with anyone about many topics. Finally no game shows, telenovelas, etc…, I’m learning so much. Finally using the big screen for self directed education. I love it….
So true. Crazy I’m 24 and still just beginning to learn tools that make life so much better. I’m glad that I’m learning it now and will be able to teach my kids.
Andrew Huberman is slowly but surely becoming one of my father figures that I’ll never meet. Jordan Peterson, David Goggins are already some of my father figures, but Andrew is like the cool scientific dad who knows everything. Growing up without a dad I can truly say that men like these really help fill that gap!
I’m a girl and grew up with a dad, although I was mostly raised by my mom. Unfortunately my dad didn’t really teach me how to live and think so people like Andrew and Jordan Peterson in particular are filling this vacuum. I’m forever grateful to them.
i've been listening to huberman for years now and i'm astonished how every time he's a guest on a podcast he can always deliver fresh and valuable information. he has truly changed my life !! thanks chris for having him on again 😁
Yes, Huberman's episode on alcohol stopped me drinking alcohol after many years overnight, over a year ago. I wasn't alcoholic, but just never toally realised how bad it was for my body. I don't miss it and have lots of gratitude to Andrew for that video ❤
Thank you for all you do Chris. Lost my dad last year and with very few to no older men in my life you serve as a virtual mentor. Helping all of us get better each day. Thanks mate

Huberman's episode on alcohol last year was the REASON why I quit alcohol 6 weeks ago. I used to be a binge drinker . Now leading a zero alcohol life can't even begin to tell you how awesome it is ..We have been sold one of the biggest bullshits of human history on alcohol.. It is nothing but a big ILLUSION...
I am a woman and french listening to Huberman from France for a while now...and it is so interesting ! I can only thank the technology to enable us from all over the world to listen to such wise and knowledge person.
Being 23, I love the use of podcasts and media to bring the younger generations content like this. There’s a new wave of young adults actually focused on health and improving ourselves, thanks to guys like these
My parents are in their mid 70s. Never exercise, drink quiet a bit (way too much). They have friends that have exercised, and drank in moderation for the last 30 years. The difference between these two couples is staggering! They look 15-20 years younger than my parents, never mind their brain health. I started to see a difference 30 years ago - when they entered their 40s. I've spent my entire life trying NOT to be like my parents. I used to run and swim, but added weight training in my late 20s because I knew I needed it for my brain and bone health and have really enjoyed it. I look forward to looking, feeling and thinking fabulously in my 70s and 80s.
The production value on this is retardedly good. The crisp but fullness of the vocals, the colour grading, the depth of the set, the lighting. Chefs kiss, HIGH quality
This is one of the most valuable interviews I've heard in a while, and that's saying a lot (which is a testament to the current rising quality of podcasts and focused content in general). I don't know how to express this as well as I'd like, but the range of topics covered--not to mention getting an opportunity to understand Andrew Huberman even better, which I also find incredibly valuable and inspiring--makes this video worth coming back to repeatedly. Good energy, comradery, focused discussion, and edifying information right here. I wish I could say this better, but... really good stuff!
Andrew Huberman is just the best. He's bringing so much humility and knowledge to the world, it's so rare these days. I don't fan-girl many, but he's one person I'd love to meet and talk for a minute or 60. Keep up the amazing work!
This was such a treat. The podcast community is really pumping out the best of the best conversations & talking points and knowledge bits for the rest of the world. Thank you, Chris and Andrew.

This is so high value for someone like me. It´s filling a void of intellectual and useful conversation that I find very hard to get on topics outside of the work sphere (really a black hole...) that really help expand the mind and for that matter enforces a better life in general...thanks!
Thank you I needed this. 🙏 ❤ I have anorexia nervosa, and I was told today that I have to have a hospital bag packed and ready when I go to my dietitian appointment tomorrow morning. What they want to do is admit me to get nutrition and refeeding. It is terrifying , but I can not see any other way to go but to go towards this. There's a chance I think that I can possibly become restored enough to participate in life as well as want to do that and feel the joy in that. I don't really have a choice. ❤ this was encouraging. I don't feel great at the moment. And I want to live and experience life without this. ❤
I have all four wisdom teeth, never needed braces, and all I did growing up was brush semi-regularly to not weaken the enamel, and into my teenage years I began flossing. I’ve never had a cavity or gone through major mouth surgery. I consider myself to be very lucky. And I thank God for my good mouth health.
I can already tell that this will be my favourite episode here on the Modern Wisdom podcast. I'm proud of how far you've come Chris, if I was a podcaster this would be one of my dream collabs. Keep smashing it bro
When Andrew said Octopuses instead of Octopi... I instantly knew it sounded wrong but I also knew I was wrong in thinking it because it came from Andrew's mouth.
Andrew you are the best educator in the world. And Chris is the the second best interview, he will be the best. I dont know if Rogan will ever be topped based on his variety and prestige but i am so proud of chris and he will be number two very soon and perhaps for decades to come. Keep it up gentlemen
Another great show ,, thanks both . Education and attention,, I attended a post war poor quality UK modern school, I only wrote my name on the 11 plus because my brother attended the grammar school. I went on to a UK polytechnic, studied engineering. A miracle considering my secondary education. My life was changed by Sputnik books,, I could read one a week, undistracted by school bits and pieces start stop ,start stop . 1 book , 1 week nothing else . I had to import these books back in the day , from human psychology to atomic chemistry,, psychology to modern art . The legacy of Yuri Gagarin . Today I tune into your show ,, self taught and still willing to learn , keep up the good work, thanks .
32:32 - shit... this is really good for me to hear, because no matter if I can "repair "/"retrain" my [completely awful and needless] body functions- I DO NOT want to lose my mind! 🙏
I grew up and now once again live equidistant from the towns of directly antagonistic rival european football teams Newcastle and Sunderland, so I had to replay that part four times for kicks. Great episode - was looking forward to it and it didn't disappoint.
The last 20 minutes of Huberman explaining why he doesn’t get involved in certain political opinions made me highly respect him and I appreciate his willingness to explain in detail his position. How he was able to articulate the root of other’s angry mindset really opened my eyes to even why I’ll get angry, which is usually always one’s own selfishness.
Thanks so much for the shoutout Chris & Dr. Huberman. I’m inspired daily by the incredible work you both produce. And this was an amazing episode, learned a ton.
I am fairly new to consuming this type of content. I really enjoy and appreciate it. I can already tell that I am going to change the trajectory of my life for the better by implementing things I've learned from you and your guests. I'm excited to learn more. I really appreciate your time. Thank you
As a teenager , the thing about scrolling through social media being a regret is so relatable, i realised that and now I'm trying to control that using timers and focus modes on the phone. And thank you for such great content. Learnt a lot and hope to continue learning.
It’s simple. Grilled chicken and lean beef in bulk grilled twice a week. Chopped and stored in a Tupperware. Combine frozen corn in a bowl with olive oil and spices. Roast at 400 on a sheet pan until crisp. Prepare brown rice, white rice and store in a Tupperware. Repeat this twice a week. Add low-fat cottage cheese and combine all ingredients in the same bowl to manage portions. Small bowl at noon. Larger bowl at 7pm. Then train cardio and heavy lifting fasted at 6am or 7am. Sunday is pizza day for football. Been doing this for 7 years and I maintain 11-12% body fat all year long being vascular and solid amounts of lean muscle mass at 58 years old. Most would say that nutrition is “boring” but is tastes amazing and I look forward to meals. Eat for health and performance, not for pleasure. Sure, I’ll cheat occasionally mid week but very rarely. I actually feel like crap when I cheat in terms of mental and physical energy. All those basics ingredients are widely available at Costco on the cheap. $5-&7 per meal. Just be disciplined. And you will be satisfied with the nutrition. It’s a solid plan and it works. Visible abs at 58. Wife loves it as it also increases testosterone levels and increases sex drive.
Procrastination is a common symptom of AD/HD. And from personal experience with both ADD and procrastination, forcing myself to do the thing I least want to do helps me move forward.
Very few people that I read and listen to speak toward the actual totality of life. We can all be aware of the negative effects of one behavior or the other, but most things have a trade off. Very few things are only good or only bad, and even then, people are different and interact with the world in personalized ways. Alcohol is like that. Obviously a person can drink too much and it can have negative effects on them physically, emotionally and socially, but it can also have some positive effects when it comes to creative thought and emotional experiences. Discussions that I have had with others over a pint of beer or a glass of wine are some of the highlights of my life. Insights that I have had on my path and goals while sipping a cocktail have been very beneficial to my journey. Giving those things up for the marginal gains on my health does not seem like a good choice. I certainly don't think I will take advice from someone who has never experienced those types of interactions and does not appear wired to enjoy life in this way; despite what a knowledgeable highly learned scientist he is.
I like how Huberman mentions Castello at least once in EVERY podcast he’s in. I don’t think there’s a human on this planet who loves their dog more than this man does. ❤
I have worked in the dental field for 20 years, and this is 100% true . Also .. taking pacifiers away from baby by age 3-4 months is good too & breaking the finger or thumb sucking habit in little ones
🎉❤Thank you so much, Chris, for posting your amazing discussions with Andrew. Andrew is like a polished diamond who improves himself and by sharing his insights, is an example to active listeners. So many facets of what we are as human beings are revealed by Andrew's diligence in discoveries and caan serve as opportunities to be healthy and happy. Bravo, Dr. Huberman🏃♀️ The 4cs of characteizing the quality of a diamond are cut, color, carat and you guessed it....clarity🎉❤😊
Two consecutive topics just hit me pretty solidly, vaping and kratom. Vaping got me to quit smoking after 22 years, which were punctuated by many failed attempts at quitting. My anecdotal experience isn't much worth in the grand scheme of things, but it was massively beneficial for me. My smoker's cough that I'd dealt with for two decades practically disappeared in just a couple of weeks. Resting heartrate came down. Blood pressure came down. Average O2 saturation via pulse ox raised by 3%. Heartrate spikes to 180ish bpm after heavy sets of squats/deadlifts/etc came back down to near baseline incredibly faster, down from two or three minutes to between twenty and thirty seconds. No random coughing fits, etc etc. Would I be healthier if I quit altogether? Most likely. Am I personally vsubstantially healthier after switching from tobacco to vaping? Definitely. Kratom is what got me off of pain pills after failing to quit those for a couple of years. It's not as if I didn't know better, I had been working EMS for a few years by that point, had treated and transported countless addicts, intervened and reversed multiple overdoses by then. Despite all of that, once I got hurt and took the pills the doctor gave me, the hooks were in. I never went to heroin or any purely illicit opiates, but I'd lie if I said I wasn't immensely tempted. Heard about kratom when Mark Bell went on Rogan. If I'm remembering correctly, then came across a shop by chance and tried it out. It didn't feel exactly the same, but close enough to be a sustained replacement going on seven years now. Given the explosion of the fentanyl crisis in that time frame, it's not a stretch to say that finding kratom may have quite literally saved my life. These together are giving me a more healthy, or at least less risky, life since adopting them. The easy common sense answer to all of it is to just quit both now, right? If only it were that easy indeed. I'm highly susceptible to addiction(duh) and have fought through multiple over my life. I had the willpower to beat them all without any outside help or programs, not to say that nothing bad directly related to them ever happened. I've had the willpower to follow a dietary routine for years now, one that seems extreme to most normies(pretty tame to the truly extreme folks). Maintained a solid functional strength workout routine for years now. Harnessed discipline and willpower to overcome and achieve many things by this point in my life, but for whatever reason, those two remain my kryptonite, at least to this point. I'm just grateful to have found these safer(at least for me) alternatives in the meantime. Much love.
That kratom reeks havoc on your testosterone levels but it’s good stuff I did it for awhile all the time. Those rock solid green ass splitting shits I don’t miss but stuff is way better than drinking
@bobufo5729 I'd heard about that with the test, but the last time I had my levels checked I was 994. ER doc I worked with asked if I was doing anything "irresponsible" 😅 Only carnivore & IF/OMAD Thankfully I never had a bowel issue with the stuff. Never had one at all really, aside from the first week I did the carnivore thing a few years back. That was a weird learning curve but it's been all good ever since. My gut motility may not respond typically, though. Never had constipation with the opiates either, though I knew a lot of people that did. 🤷♂️
This was Great, one of my favorite podcasts with Andrew Huberman. It's been a while since I've watched one of his videos but between him and Lex - they are the reasons I've started searching deep within myself to strive to be and do better every day, and to continue to learn.
It's finally here, and what impeccable timing! I'm about to head out of work and go straight to the gym. I can't wait to listen! Thank you again to the both of you for sharing!
Chris's question about the dangers of overoptimization was the best question addressed to Huberman so far, I think. Just because it goes to the heart of everything Huberman does on the podcast. And his answer is the best answer to such a question I think. I came back to the podcast for the following 'damage control' part. Popped up in my head, 'I hate doing damage control', when I was in this kind of a situation at work. Damage control is uncomfortable and that's fine. Very useful. Thanks
He interrupted so much, and changed the topic left and right. You can see how uncomfortable Andrew gets at times. Even with the hole octopus thing 1:41:25
Usually listen to your long form content when I go out for my runs. This episode dropped right on time usually Wednesday are 10-12mi runs today was a 15mi run. Had to make sure I suffered and the run sucked even more for what lies ahead in the day. Thank you men for the conversation.
Chris: I really enjoy listening to your podcast while on my morning runs in the park. It has become my favorite time of the day for me. You give me so much to look forward to, and for that I am forever grateful. I’m sending you happy thoughts from Brooklyn NYC 🙏🏻
I'm so scared to watch your episodes or listen to your episodes on Spotify. I just can't miss a single word. I can't be doing anything else and listen. I HAVE TO DROP EVERYTHING to listen to the podcast. SO MUCH wisdom being dropped every second. Thank you so much for this
I’ve watched lots and lots of Huberman videos and have to say, this was the most insightful, informative and entertaining one of them all. Thanks to you both.
huberman and Chris together is a dream , I was so excited when I seen that this was 3 hours long . its amazing and great information honestly , worth every minute . this is the 2nd time I listen to it
Thank you Chris for your podcast generally. I’ve been listening since mid 2019 and have found your content enlightening. It’s also been amazing to see your growth as a podcaster, businessman, and man. Thank you for providing thoughtful thought-provoking and inspiring content. Peace brother.
I remember one time on 4 Chan, somebody posted a video clip of someone getting lasik eye surgery to shock and horrify but, I had already gone through the surgery and so, I knew that person was actually going through the best day of their life and what it looks like from the other side
I quit alcohol almost 3 years ago for health reasons. I don't miss it. I'm glad to be rid of it. Glad to have control of my mind and words. But I sure did love my beer. However, I absolutely cannot stand being around people who are drinking. They are too loud and too obnoxious.
I knew I liked Huberman already, but when I heard him talking about Joe Strummer that just took it to another level! Black shirt... punkest thing ever... The Only Band That Matters!
I don’t argue the importance of all the things that Andrew mentions (ice baths, neck exercises, moments for deliberate thought, journaling, exercise, etc).. but it is significantly harder to do all of these things when you have a bunch of young kids. Hence why the 2 hr 21 min mark is so important for me
Drummer and plasterer here. Yes, there are lots of rhythms in my world. Thanks for helping me realise I need to stop drinking and smoking. I link it to fun. I have seen the illusion when I abstain. I've wanted to get to a place where I can sit on the drums all day without needing to go and earn money. I've started a 3d printing company with my bassist and we've. Done nearly 4k in 90 days and not really moved much! Waiting to move into a new premises soon. I think I will miss the plastering though. Thanks you both!❤
Just want to say how awesome this podcast was, so many relatable topics, this was like engaging in a really good book and feeling your mind race with enthusiasm, thanks for the acid trip guys🙏
I stopped drinking 'for sport' in 2019--I am super good at it, so it's been tough...slowly learning to take up healthier coping strategies, and in doing so, having to let go of pretty much every social circle I had. My body is grateful though, and I feel like I know what I am not missing. I am not so fun to my drinking friends, as I used to be able to keep up with all of them (and often be the one to take care of everyone even after that). I am so grateful that I am learning to love myself enough to stop using alcohol for a good time. I do think it is powerful 'medicine', potentially, at certain times, but it is abused so much it is a problem for so many people, keeping them from becoming their best/better selves.
This makes so much sense, because when I had allergies and nasal constriction breathing through my mouth would cause my throat to become raw, and yes, more susceptible to irritants. Since I eliminated my allergies through dietary changes, I FEEL so much healthier.
I'm not just saying this because he has the same name as me but in all seriousness I always learn something new from Andrew he's a very intelligent man
One of the best interviews I've heard on Modern Wisdom! Absorbed, Felt and satisfactory too the max! Absolutely love your Chris and Andrew, you are two real gems of the recent history we are writing! Salut!
I've always been a nasal breather ever since I can remember. When I developed allergies as a teen, I remember having sleepless school nights from nasal congestion because the fact I couldn't breath 100% through my nose drove me nuts. As a result, my face is forwardly grown and I have naturally alligned teeth.
No I did 25 years of macro sucks and as soon as I did things that pleased me made me happy my life took a turn upward very quickly. What changed was my mindset and the system order and process that I use for everything.

Hi Chris, not sure if you got to look into it but regarding the whole deal with plurals and whether they end in an -i. It depends on if the word is based on Latin. As platypuses' and octopuses' names aren't based on Latin, they don't get an -i, even though it sounds more appropriate. Something like that anyway.
Had LASIK about a decade ago myself so just a couple of points to add:
(1) LASIK only fixes short-sightedness (i.e. where things are blurry at distance), it cannot fix long-sightedness.
(2) As you age your eyes tend to become long-sighted - so there is a possibility that short-sighted people may find this condition may correct to some degree as they age - and LASIK surgery will not prevent that from happening. I now have to use reading glasses as I have become slightly long-sighted, but my distance sight (which was what was corrected with LASIK) is still sharp.
(3) Regarding flaring of headlights etc. when driving at night - yep, still get that to a degree.
(4) I know you're not supposed to do it, but my eyes were comfortable enough after the surgery that I drove myself home.
😮l
57:48 Where did you get your surgery done Mr Williamson? Are you still considering posting the video of the surgery?
Thank you so much Chris and team for hosting me! I really appreciate your questions and insights and desire to share with the world. I now also know what larping is thanks to you.
Killed it as always 💪
Already 50 mins into the podcast and i can say you killed it👌🏽😁
Hey boss Cosplay isn’t necessarily a kink. It just means costume play. An example of LARPing are those medieval festivals where people stay in character.

About RUclips, I’m 73, it’s on the tv screen and on all day. I hear and watch while cleaning cooking walking. It keeps me entertained and engaged. I’m subscribed to 100’s of channels and feel I’m mentally productive and current. start a conversation anytime with anyone about many topics. Finally no game shows, telenovelas, etc…, I’m learning so much. Finally using the big screen for self directed education. I love it….
❤❤ amazing
Same here. 61, Retired, disabled.. I listen to podcasts and documentarys every day
Fenomenal what you've been doing. Here in south of Brazil pretty much like like you . Hugs dear human being.
This stuff should be shown in schools all around the world, amazing conversation.
Schools are not made to make you smarter unfortunately
I totally agree, this would help with most of the health problems we deal with. It’s crazy what two men can teach us
So true. Crazy I’m 24 and still just beginning to learn tools that make life so much better.
I’m glad that I’m learning it now and will be able to teach my kids.
they wouldn’t allow it.

Huberman taking his notes on larping and BBLs is so cute then he responds with “can’t they just do Hip Thrust” 😅 he’s so pure! I love him! ♥️
😅😅
Yikes
Pure logical thinking
Andrew Huberman is slowly but surely becoming one of my father figures that I’ll never meet. Jordan Peterson, David Goggins are already some of my father figures, but Andrew is like the cool scientific dad who knows everything. Growing up without a dad I can truly say that men like these really help fill that gap!
don't put people on a pedestal
My fav people also ❣️👍
Add Steven Bartlett and this guy Chris Williamson for bringing brilliant podcasts 🙏🏻
I’m a girl and grew up with a dad, although I was mostly raised by my mom. Unfortunately my dad didn’t really teach me how to live and think so people like Andrew and Jordan Peterson in particular are filling this vacuum. I’m forever grateful to them.
Welcome brother to the manosphere/intellectual dark web where we embrace masculinity and reject modernity 💪💪😆
@MinifigNewsguy then why is your momma your God?( jesse lee peterson voice)
i've been listening to huberman for years now and i'm astonished how every time he's a guest on a podcast he can always deliver fresh and valuable information. he has truly changed my life !! thanks chris for having him on again 😁
He’s a continuous learner. Always researching always learning
Well put. I agree.
Yes, Huberman's episode on alcohol stopped me drinking alcohol after many years overnight, over a year ago. I wasn't alcoholic, but just never toally realised how bad it was for my body. I don't miss it and have lots of gratitude to Andrew for that video ❤
Thank you for all you do Chris. Lost my dad last year and with very few to no older men in my life you serve as a virtual mentor. Helping all of us get better each day. Thanks mate
Sorry for your loss. All fathers present should be celebrated. He loved you, he made you the person you are today. God bless him in his time of peace
My condolences.
Praying for you and your family
My condolences. I hope you’re well and may your father rest in peace.
So many have to seek male mentorship. This was a great conversation, & I'm glad you found it. I'd expect you'll find more, & be discerning about it.
The fact that Andrew Huberman was prepared so well and also brought his notebook. They are truly a gift to many people.

Huberman's episode on alcohol last year was the REASON why I quit alcohol 6 weeks ago. I used to be a binge drinker . Now leading a zero alcohol life can't even begin to tell you how awesome it is ..We have been sold one of the biggest bullshits of human history on alcohol.. It is nothing but a big ILLUSION...
Who ever said or thought drinking alcohol isn’t bad for you
Yes! Keep going 🥳
Great job! Keep up the good work!
I am a woman and french listening to Huberman from France for a while now...and it is so interesting ! I can only thank the technology to enable us from all over the world to listen to such wise and knowledge person.
Don't be distracted by the NY Mag hit piece. Huberman is a national treasure
You know you’re doing something right when you get a hit piece on you 👌🏼
Ok
K
This was probably the best podcast with Huberman I've watched so far, out of about about 20.
😂
He’s absolutely breathtaking and fascinating. The way he thinks is extraordinary. We are so lucky to see and listen to him in our life time.
Being 23, I love the use of podcasts and media to bring the younger generations content like this. There’s a new wave of young adults actually focused on health and improving ourselves, thanks to guys like these
My parents are in their mid 70s. Never exercise, drink quiet a bit (way too much). They have friends that have exercised, and drank in moderation for the last 30 years. The difference between these two couples is staggering! They look 15-20 years younger than my parents, never mind their brain health. I started to see a difference 30 years ago - when they entered their 40s. I've spent my entire life trying NOT to be like my parents. I used to run and swim, but added weight training in my late 20s because I knew I needed it for my brain and bone health and have really enjoyed it. I look forward to looking, feeling and thinking fabulously in my 70s and 80s.
The production value on this is retardedly good. The crisp but fullness of the vocals, the colour grading, the depth of the set, the lighting. Chefs kiss, HIGH quality
This is one of the most valuable interviews I've heard in a while, and that's saying a lot (which is a testament to the current rising quality of podcasts and focused content in general). I don't know how to express this as well as I'd like, but the range of topics covered--not to mention getting an opportunity to understand Andrew Huberman even better, which I also find incredibly valuable and inspiring--makes this video worth coming back to repeatedly. Good energy, comradery, focused discussion, and edifying information right here. I wish I could say this better, but... really good stuff!
Andrew Huberman is just the best. He's bringing so much humility and knowledge to the world, it's so rare these days. I don't fan-girl many, but he's one person I'd love to meet and talk for a minute or 60. Keep up the amazing work!
Andrew is such a good man. How he complimented Chris at the end It's heart warming.
This was such a treat. The podcast community is really pumping out the best of the best conversations & talking points and knowledge bits for the rest of the world. Thank you, Chris and Andrew.

This is so high value for someone like me. It´s filling a void of intellectual and useful conversation that I find very hard to get on topics outside of the work sphere (really a black hole...) that really help expand the mind and for that matter enforces a better life in general...thanks!
Thank you I needed this. 🙏 ❤ I have anorexia nervosa, and I was told today that I have to have a hospital bag packed and ready when I go to my dietitian appointment tomorrow morning. What they want to do is admit me to get nutrition and refeeding. It is terrifying , but I can not see any other way to go but to go towards this. There's a chance I think that I can possibly become restored enough to participate in life as well as want to do that and feel the joy in that. I don't really have a choice. ❤ this was encouraging. I don't feel great at the moment. And I want to live and experience life without this. ❤
Stay strong you'll get there, one foot in front of the other and one day at a time, I hope you're well 💪🏻🤗
Hey I hope you’re well ❤❤❤
You are very brave❤️sending you love 💕 and powerful victory energy!!!!!
hearing huberman say PERIOD im decaying 💀💀 these two are a gift to the world
I have all four wisdom teeth, never needed braces, and all I did growing up was brush semi-regularly to not weaken the enamel, and into my teenage years I began flossing. I’ve never had a cavity or gone through major mouth surgery. I consider myself to be very lucky. And I thank God for my good mouth health.
Feels like i'm watching a new video everyday. THE RUN OF PEOPLE ON THIS SHOW LATELY has been phenomenal.
I can already tell that this will be my favourite episode here on the Modern Wisdom podcast. I'm proud of how far you've come Chris, if I was a podcaster this would be one of my dream collabs. Keep smashing it bro
I’m curious, were you right?
For the record:
Octopuses = regular plural in English
Octopi = Latin plural
Octopodes = Greek plural
It's always a good day if there's a new episode with Huberman. Thank you, doc!
When Andrew said Octopuses instead of Octopi... I instantly knew it sounded wrong but I also knew I was wrong in thinking it because it came from Andrew's mouth.
technically there are three correct ways to name the plural, based on how you look at it. Give it a google, pretty interesting stuff (I'm a nerd lol)

Another great show ,, thanks both . Education and attention,, I attended a post war poor quality UK modern school, I only wrote my name on the 11 plus because my brother attended the grammar school. I went on to a UK polytechnic, studied engineering. A miracle considering my secondary education. My life was changed by Sputnik books,, I could read one a week, undistracted by school bits and pieces start stop ,start stop . 1 book , 1 week nothing else . I had to import these books back in the day , from human psychology to atomic chemistry,, psychology to modern art . The legacy of Yuri Gagarin . Today I tune into your show ,, self taught and still willing to learn , keep up the good work, thanks .

Thanks!
I grew up and now once again live equidistant from the towns of directly antagonistic rival european football teams Newcastle and Sunderland, so I had to replay that part four times for kicks. Great episode - was looking forward to it and it didn't disappoint.
Andrew Huberman is such a humble guy, an exemplar for all of us!
I am very proud of you, Chris. If this is not greatness I dont know what is. Cheers from Spain.
The last 20 minutes of Huberman explaining why he doesn’t get involved in certain political opinions made me highly respect him and I appreciate his willingness to explain in detail his position. How he was able to articulate the root of other’s angry mindset really opened my eyes to even why I’ll get angry, which is usually always one’s own selfishness.
Thanks so much for the shoutout Chris & Dr. Huberman.
I’m inspired daily by the incredible work you both produce. And this was an amazing episode, learned a ton.
I started looking for your comment when they mentioned you. This is the best side of RUclips

I love how Andrew is taking notes with pen and paper and has no computer
It’s simple. Grilled chicken and lean beef in bulk grilled twice a week. Chopped and stored in a Tupperware. Combine frozen corn in a bowl with olive oil and spices. Roast at 400 on a sheet pan until crisp. Prepare brown rice, white rice and store in a Tupperware. Repeat this twice a week. Add low-fat cottage cheese and combine all ingredients in the same bowl to manage portions. Small bowl at noon. Larger bowl at 7pm. Then train cardio and heavy lifting fasted at 6am or 7am. Sunday is pizza day for football. Been doing this for 7 years and I maintain 11-12% body fat all year long being vascular and solid amounts of lean muscle mass at 58 years old. Most would say that nutrition is “boring” but is tastes amazing and I look forward to meals. Eat for health and performance, not for pleasure. Sure, I’ll cheat occasionally mid week but very rarely. I actually feel like crap when I cheat in terms of mental and physical energy. All those basics ingredients are widely available at Costco on the cheap. $5-&7 per meal. Just be disciplined. And you will be satisfied with the nutrition. It’s a solid plan and it works. Visible abs at 58. Wife loves it as it also increases testosterone levels and increases sex drive.
Procrastination is a common symptom of AD/HD. And from personal experience with both ADD and procrastination, forcing myself to do the thing I least want to do helps me move forward.

Very few people that I read and listen to speak toward the actual totality of life. We can all be aware of the negative effects of one behavior or the other, but most things have a trade off. Very few things are only good or only bad, and even then, people are different and interact with the world in personalized ways. Alcohol is like that. Obviously a person can drink too much and it can have negative effects on them physically, emotionally and socially, but it can also have some positive effects when it comes to creative thought and emotional experiences. Discussions that I have had with others over a pint of beer or a glass of wine are some of the highlights of my life. Insights that I have had on my path and goals while sipping a cocktail have been very beneficial to my journey. Giving those things up for the marginal gains on my health does not seem like a good choice. I certainly don't think I will take advice from someone who has never experienced those types of interactions and does not appear wired to enjoy life in this way; despite what a knowledgeable highly learned scientist he is.
I like how Huberman mentions Castello at least once in EVERY podcast he’s in. I don’t think there’s a human on this planet who loves their dog more than this man does. ❤
When first working as a chairside dental assistant for an orthodontist, I was astounded when palletal expansion devices were used
I really enjoyed this. Andrew is so humble. The Huberman husbands was so funny.
I have worked in the dental field for 20 years, and this is 100% true . Also .. taking pacifiers away from baby by age 3-4 months is good too & breaking the finger or thumb sucking habit in little ones

Two consecutive topics just hit me pretty solidly, vaping and kratom.
Vaping got me to quit smoking after 22 years, which were punctuated by many failed attempts at quitting. My anecdotal experience isn't much worth in the grand scheme of things, but it was massively beneficial for me. My smoker's cough that I'd dealt with for two decades practically disappeared in just a couple of weeks. Resting heartrate came down. Blood pressure came down. Average O2 saturation via pulse ox raised by 3%. Heartrate spikes to 180ish bpm after heavy sets of squats/deadlifts/etc came back down to near baseline incredibly faster, down from two or three minutes to between twenty and thirty seconds. No random coughing fits, etc etc. Would I be healthier if I quit altogether? Most likely. Am I personally vsubstantially healthier after switching from tobacco to vaping? Definitely.
Kratom is what got me off of pain pills after failing to quit those for a couple of years. It's not as if I didn't know better, I had been working EMS for a few years by that point, had treated and transported countless addicts, intervened and reversed multiple overdoses by then. Despite all of that, once I got hurt and took the pills the doctor gave me, the hooks were in. I never went to heroin or any purely illicit opiates, but I'd lie if I said I wasn't immensely tempted. Heard about kratom when Mark Bell went on Rogan. If I'm remembering correctly, then came across a shop by chance and tried it out. It didn't feel exactly the same, but close enough to be a sustained replacement going on seven years now. Given the explosion of the fentanyl crisis in that time frame, it's not a stretch to say that finding kratom may have quite literally saved my life. These together are giving me a more healthy, or at least less risky, life since adopting them.
The easy common sense answer to all of it is to just quit both now, right? If only it were that easy indeed. I'm highly susceptible to addiction(duh) and have fought through multiple over my life. I had the willpower to beat them all without any outside help or programs, not to say that nothing bad directly related to them ever happened. I've had the willpower to follow a dietary routine for years now, one that seems extreme to most normies(pretty tame to the truly extreme folks). Maintained a solid functional strength workout routine for years now. Harnessed discipline and willpower to overcome and achieve many things by this point in my life, but for whatever reason, those two remain my kryptonite, at least to this point. I'm just grateful to have found these safer(at least for me) alternatives in the meantime. Much love.
That kratom reeks havoc on your testosterone levels but it’s good stuff I did it for awhile all the time. Those rock solid green ass splitting shits I don’t miss but stuff is way better than drinking
@bobufo5729 I'd heard about that with the test, but the last time I had my levels checked I was 994. ER doc I worked with asked if I was doing anything "irresponsible" 😅 Only carnivore & IF/OMAD
Thankfully I never had a bowel issue with the stuff. Never had one at all really, aside from the first week I did the carnivore thing a few years back. That was a weird learning curve but it's been all good ever since. My gut motility may not respond typically, though. Never had constipation with the opiates either, though I knew a lot of people that did. 🤷♂️
@@final6warning that’s good that stuff is fire if you take a lot like 20g a day you’ll get a kratom shit probably tho but there not too bad
This was Great, one of my favorite podcasts with Andrew Huberman. It's been a while since I've watched one of his videos but between him and Lex - they are the reasons I've started searching deep within myself to strive to be and do better every day, and to continue to learn.
The best podcast episode, seriously! I love Andrew to be interviewed, rather than interviewing.
It's finally here, and what impeccable timing! I'm about to head out of work and go straight to the gym. I can't wait to listen! Thank you again to the both of you for sharing!
Chris's question about the dangers of overoptimization was the best question addressed to Huberman so far, I think. Just because it goes to the heart of everything Huberman does on the podcast. And his answer is the best answer to such a question I think. I came back to the podcast for the following 'damage control' part. Popped up in my head, 'I hate doing damage control', when I was in this kind of a situation at work. Damage control is uncomfortable and that's fine. Very useful. Thanks
Chris may not be pregnant but he never fails to deliver 🔥
He interrupted so much, and changed the topic left and right. You can see how uncomfortable Andrew gets at times. Even with the hole octopus thing 1:41:25
Usually listen to your long form content when I go out for my runs. This episode dropped right on time usually Wednesday are 10-12mi runs today was a 15mi run. Had to make sure I suffered and the run sucked even more for what lies ahead in the day. Thank you men for the conversation.
Chris: I really enjoy listening to your podcast while on my morning runs in the park. It has become my favorite time of the day for me. You give me so much to look forward to, and for that I am forever grateful. I’m sending you happy thoughts from Brooklyn NYC 🙏🏻
I'm so scared to watch your episodes or listen to your episodes on Spotify. I just can't miss a single word. I can't be doing anything else and listen. I HAVE TO DROP EVERYTHING to listen to the podcast. SO MUCH wisdom being dropped every second. Thank you so much for this
I’ve watched lots and lots of Huberman videos and have to say, this was the most insightful, informative and entertaining one of them all. Thanks to you both.
huberman and Chris together is a dream , I was so excited when I seen that this was 3 hours long . its amazing and great information honestly , worth every minute . this is the 2nd time I listen to it
Thank you Chris for your podcast generally. I’ve been listening since mid 2019 and have found your content enlightening. It’s also been amazing to see your growth as a podcaster, businessman, and man.
Thank you for providing thoughtful thought-provoking and inspiring content.
Peace brother.
I remember one time on 4 Chan, somebody posted a video clip of someone getting lasik eye surgery to shock and horrify but, I had already gone through the surgery and so, I knew that person was actually going through the best day of their life and what it looks like from the other side
I quit alcohol almost 3 years ago for health reasons. I don't miss it. I'm glad to be rid of it. Glad to have control of my mind and words. But I sure did love my beer. However, I absolutely cannot stand being around people who are drinking. They are too loud and too obnoxious.
Same, its crazy how differently I see alcohol now you couldn’t pay me enough money to drink again I wish I had done it years ago!
I knew I liked Huberman already, but when I heard him talking about Joe Strummer that just took it to another level!
Black shirt... punkest thing ever... The Only Band That Matters!
“Body still, mind active” sounds like me at 2 AM when I have insomnia
I don’t argue the importance of all the things that Andrew mentions (ice baths, neck exercises, moments for deliberate thought, journaling, exercise, etc).. but it is significantly harder to do all of these things when you have a bunch of young kids. Hence why the 2 hr 21 min mark is so important for me
Replacing music with modern wisdom has been a game changer for me .
Drummer and plasterer here. Yes, there are lots of rhythms in my world. Thanks for helping me realise I need to stop drinking and smoking. I link it to fun. I have seen the illusion when I abstain. I've wanted to get to a place where I can sit on the drums all day without needing to go and earn money. I've started a 3d printing company with my bassist and we've. Done nearly 4k in 90 days and not really moved much! Waiting to move into a new premises soon. I think I will miss the plastering though. Thanks you both!❤
Just want to say how awesome this podcast was, so many relatable topics, this was like engaging in a really good book and feeling your mind race with enthusiasm, thanks for the acid trip guys🙏
Im so grateful to have found these two, they are very impressively interesting, I can listen to them for hours!
Wow the production quality. Mark my words it will go to a million in exactly 2 months.
One very long wait. Finally ! the GOAT episode for me. AH changed my life . Chris one amazing person to listen to and get inspired .
Glad to witness this extraordinary meeting ❤
I stopped drinking 'for sport' in 2019--I am super good at it, so it's been tough...slowly learning to take up healthier coping strategies, and in doing so, having to let go of pretty much every social circle I had. My body is grateful though, and I feel like I know what I am not missing. I am not so fun to my drinking friends, as I used to be able to keep up with all of them (and often be the one to take care of everyone even after that). I am so grateful that I am learning to love myself enough to stop using alcohol for a good time. I do think it is powerful 'medicine', potentially, at certain times, but it is abused so much it is a problem for so many people, keeping them from becoming their best/better selves.
This episode was legendary. Thank you for everything 🙏
I can listen to these two men over and over. I love how humble Dr Huberman is. Don't you want to visit South Africa? 🙏❤
Another one with the Best Dr I follow, thanks Chris, currently listening to this podcast during a cardio session.
Thanks!
Two legends of modern day mastery.
Raw and pure value.
Thank you Chris and Huberman for providing this for us!
Keep up!
This makes so much sense, because when I had allergies and nasal constriction breathing through my mouth would cause my throat to become raw, and yes, more susceptible to irritants. Since I eliminated my allergies through dietary changes, I FEEL so much healthier.
Thank you both for everything.
Greetings from Austria
I'm not just saying this because he has the same name as me but in all seriousness I always learn something new from Andrew he's a very intelligent man
One of the best interviews I've heard on Modern Wisdom! Absorbed, Felt and satisfactory too the max! Absolutely love your Chris and Andrew, you are two real gems of the recent history we are writing! Salut!
I've always been a nasal breather ever since I can remember. When I developed allergies as a teen, I remember having sleepless school nights from nasal congestion because the fact I couldn't breath 100% through my nose drove me nuts. As a result, my face is forwardly grown and I have naturally alligned teeth.
I’ve also always been a nasal breather yet I have quite an severe overbite so I guess there are exceptions.
What an amazing life changing podcast great job Chris and Andrew. Can’t wait for the book to come out Andrew!
No I did 25 years of macro sucks and as soon as I did things that pleased me made me happy my life took a turn upward very quickly. What changed was my mindset and the system order and process that I use for everything.
Cosplaying as Andrew Huberman in the bedroom -- the single funniest thing I've ever heard on RUclips -- good show
Huberman never fails to amaze. Great convo.
