When Dr. Huberman is like, "... and thank you for your interest in science." Ummmmm hold up dude. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING ZERO COST TO CONSUMER INFORMATION ABOUT SCIENCE AND SCIENCE-RELATED TOOLS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!! My interest is sparked and fulfilled by your podcast. Keep it up and I will do the same!! Can't wait for the episode on concussions!! Hope you have a croissant in the near future ;)
Haha 😂 he makes me want to have a chocolate croissant! Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (tbi) would be awesome and personal for me. I hope to see some content on that also.
Right. Thank God for Dr. Huberman. I have a neurological issue called cluster headaches and my neurologist says it can't be good for the brain to keep having these extreme pains and we don't know the effects long term. So I'm trying to take care of my body and brain hoping it will heal. I also try to stay active mentally. Learn something everyday. I have background in finance and banking supervision so I do need help when it comes to understanding medical science and Dr Huberman makes it so easy by linking all the good research. I can't express how thankful I am.
I think we can participate in optimizing his capacity- by learning in 10-20” gaps over time= exponential gain over time. I Love learning when it comes yo this podcast
@@niurkarosa Just wrote the same before seeing this... I get the feeling people w/ TBI (like myself) have different brain function as far as processing food/supplements... Sometimes I get the feeling I am forging paths to "work around" the injury which is located in the temporal lobe area... It's almost like trying to reach a destination and the "bridge has been washed out" requiring me to find an alternate route to accomplish simple decision making processes.
@@zeynand4039 There was a guy I call the Niacin Guru on Twitter that had documented cases indicating that a protocol of 500 mg - 1G of FULL FLUSH NIACIN + 500mg Niacinamide coupled w/ 10-20MG OF MELATONIN obliterates cluster headaches... The "Burn" takes some getting used to, but the optimal dosage can be reached incrementally which will help you to adjust to the flush...
@@GoblinUrNuts All I can say is due to the rigidity of the nature of those studies you'd better off following the general advice for healthy drinking to maximise the most benefits I.e.: Drink it in moderation (a glass a day), never after exercise, drink with food, you *can* drink in the morning (Google the morning benefits), make sure It is a good healthy brand (
Didn’t get any morning sunlight for over 20 YEARS and struggled with depression and poor sleep for most of my adult life. Discovered this podcast and decided to try getting morning sunlight for 10 minutes every day because why the hell not, it can’t hurt. One month later, I’m noticeably happier and more cheerful, and I’m sleeping better. Andrew, that one piece of advice had a more profound effect on my mental health than my therapist did. I hope you know that you’re literally saving the lives of people around the world!
I just love how concise you are in your podcasts, it's an hour and a half of one relevant piece of info after another. I quit most podcasts because they waste so much time going off topic, joking and what not.
That's true. Mostly at end it's just some stories, narration and no ideas to remember or apply. We have enought narration going within the mind.. This one stand out.
I absolutely agree, I gave up all other health, science podcasts because I want to be able to learn & absorb all the wealth of knowledge that Andrew Huberman teaches with such ease . What a find! I'm so grateful for this really helpful data.
Pretty much...I am 68 and all you young people out there have the time element on your side to gain pretty cool knowledge about physiology and how to implement and try out what he recommends...Cool Shit for certain....use it people.
I have been taking phosphatidylserine for about a year. I am 72. I had noticed problems finding words and forgetting odd things. It only took a short amount of time I truly noticed a huge difference!
@@funtimes8296 please check out rich rolls episode with him to know for first 30 mins of the podcast about what he has been through to be what he is. It gives hope ..and also i love him so much
I am officially hooked : I can’t recall what life was like before I discovered the Huberman Lab. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge, experiments and findings . So fascinating & I love your sense of humour . You are a phenomenal speaker . Let’s clone you … thank you so much . Amazing . Grateful follower … taking the info on board . Thanks 🙏🏻. Lina
Greetings from Finland! This podcast has been such an eye opener. I've got so many new tools to manage my circadian rythm for example. Andrew you are true rockstar of science. And a good humour too. I find myself rather often chuckling which is rare.
This is one of the best and most applicable talks I’ve heard so far with direct implications on health coaching. The concept of the role of the insula connects directly to current concepts about enteroception and chronic pain. This may be a good topic for future discussion. A study just released on pain reprocessing therapy and neuroplastic pain speaks to this.
The last 20 minutes or so tie together a mechanism for conditioning nearly any association with dopamine reward - BRILLIANT!!! The ability to intentionally wire behaviors/associations with neurological reward, or rewire maladaptive habits/behaviors, is priceless. Thank you for connecting the dots.
Andrew has become like a father figure to me. I've learned so much from his videos and I come back to them again if I feel like I should know more regarding what I'm learning, how I'm learning, or if I'm confused about what's going on in my mind. I have no idea how I stumbled upon his content, but it's one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Life would have been seriously different and cluttered without him. I hope you never stop making these videos. To people like us, it gives us a new perspective, and it's one of the best things that can ever happen to anyone. We all need guidance, and you help us to provide it in the best way possible. Once again, thank you, Mr Huberman.
I think my life has changed a lot for the better after discovering this podcast. Thank you Dr. Huberman for putting this great work together for the general public. 👍👍
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters. I love reading through the comments where my questions are answered. ☀️ EPISODE 48-1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!
As a person with Parkinson’s (PWP) I’d really love a video on PD and unconventional methods of addressing the symptoms and the only current typical end point of deep brain brain stimulation (a kind of pacemaker for the brain.) thanks for you videos!
Italian 🇮🇹. I discovered Huberman podcasts "by accident". I'm always been interested in science, in psychology and now i am also interested in neuroscience. Thanks to Dr Huberman to divulgate these kind of information FOR FREE and in a very professional and scientific manner. And guys... This man can speak for two hours in a row without be redundant, without any difficulties and without annoying the public. I think it's because he's competent and completely passionate about the matter. Well done, i say 👏
Just here to mention that the suggestion of pinch of salt with a glass of water in the morning from last week's episode has paid huge dividends for me already. I had struggled with what seemed like some kind of neural fatigue for a while now, sodium seems to have immediately fixed that! Also, it greatly impacted my REM sleep according to my Oura ring - I get the same amounts of REM in 7 hours of sleep that I used to need 9 hours for! And this directly results in better cognitive performance during the day, as I had a day where I slept less than 7 hours (and REM was also less according to my Oura that day), so I was immediately brain fogged again.
I missed that episode Can you pls clarify a bit more About salt + water thing , since I feel fatigued in the morning as well Shall one take it in the morning right after one wakes up ? The water must be hot or cold or lukewarm ? Appreciate if you could elaborate a bit
@@akshaynarwadkar5264 There's a lot of information out there on salt helping the adrenal glands. No difference on water temperature, though warmer water can help raise body temperature which helps wakefulness. Add as much salt as you can tolerate. I add potassium citrate as well. Some people like lemon juice as well. I use mineral water or seltzer personally. Cheers. Been doing this for about 6 years now.
Dr Huberman , you have no idea how much I appreciate the fact you given us all needed information and all the possible options for obtaining them Without trying to sell us some products you make , your service to humanity is much appreciated and you have our love and blessings for being a great human being ❤️🙏🏽
You have a phenomenal understanding of the brain, the ability to convey such complexities in such a simple form is a true gift. I had one doctor who unfortunately passed away with similar understanding, and I always thought it a shame for humanity when most of his research ended, without much exposure to the outer world. Thank you for sharing these not only for now, but for those who may need it later.
This is absolutely brilliant. The extreme intelligence and deep insightfulness of Andrew is so readily apparent. I nominate him for supreme ruler of the galaxy.
Phosphphatidylserine - I supplement with it. Started after my doc had me start using it. Did not know the benefits of it on brain function until this video. I noticed immediately after I started it, I had less aches and pains and stiffness in the body. I read it should be taken with turmeric and omega 3, so I also do that. Glad to hear that I’m also benefitting my brain! I loved this supplement after feeling the immediate effects on my body and now love it even more!

mind blown on the fact that artificial sweetener + blood glucose increasing food lead to later insulin secretion in response to artificial sweetener alone. biology!
Thank you for providing such relevant information for us clinicians trying to help our patients- I use your teachings all the time when working with people trying to improve their health 😉 it’s incredible how people respond to Frank scientific information
I read the study it’s interesting but the blood response graphs appear to improve insulin sensitivity post glucose but also increase fasting insulin. I don’t understand how a more acute response is supposed to be worse (as this usually signals better insulin sensitivity so my only thought is the graph is mislabeled? There aren’t tables included to confirm or deny what’s shown.). Further if you look at the box plots there is least variability in the combined group but different people had really different responses both above and below the mean so this might be one to self-study if you use artificial sweeteners…
@@caseyj1144 Not sure if I understand you correctly. I believe you are talking about the graphs that show increased insulin in the combo group? Increased insulin level (production) in response to the same amount of sugar consumption, which means insulin is not doing the job (decreasing blood glucose) properly, thus decreased insulin sensitivity.
@@giraffecolor5681 yes that’s what I was referring to- did you look at it? That would be the case if it remained high, but it still decreased quickly which is what you want for insulin sensitivity. If you have more thoughts on it definitely lmk I’m here to learn but I also think a lot of great scientists don’t look super thoroughly at the math to see if the discussions match what the numbers show, so I always read them myself
I wish podcasts transforming people's health and well-being were accessible in as many languages as possible. Understanding our brain is a fantastic opportunity for change in so many directions. Thank you for showing me this opportunity.
After I got acquainted with these excellent Huberman Podcasts, I hv been wondering what can I learn from nuroscience about the biggest problem of my life, Stutterering. I can't talk fluently. My speech consists of unintentional blocks, prolongations and repetitions. It's super frustrating being a teenager and not being able to raise my voice. Definitely there's something wrong in my brain's left hemisphere. Some people say it's just a bad habit of talking which I have practiced for a long time. May be that's true. May be I have developed some new neural circuits which is only allowing me to speak this broken way. May be a part of my brain has been changed its shape and now I am a stutterer. However, being optimistic, I'm hoping to be able to adopt some new ways to talk properly. I'm only 20 so I believe my brain is highly plastic and I can make some positive changes in it regarding my speech.
Although I have been working from home, I allow myself to be tethered to my computer without putting nutrition or rather eating in general on my to do list. I recently started crashing around 2pm on the daily, but this topic reminded me of the importance of nutrition which I need to be more mindful of especially as I age. Since listening to this particular subject I've put the nutrients first and no longer crashing. The nutrient tools you provide here are quite simple but TOO easily neglected. Thank you for all you do, Andrew Huberman!
The explanation that connects diet sodas to insulin is the best I’ve heard, the fact that diet soda once paired with glucose increasing foods can later and by itself cause the secretion of insulin without blood sugar is mind blowing. thank you!
The future of healing is right on our doorsteps. Please bring the Medical Medium , Anthony William onto your Podcast. He needs more and more of the good Drs, we all do. Thankyou for the work you do i appreciate you.
Thanks to you I started taking an Omega 3 EPA supplement about a month ago. While not entirely resolved, it has minimized my depression symptoms significantly. Thanks for sharing your expertise and this small tip is life changing.
Just want to let you know Andrew, that I'm so grateful to be able to enjoy your podcast. It's clear you put a lot of work into these, and it does not go unnoticed! I learn so much from every episode. The detailed explanations you give about how various facets of the brain and body work really scratch that itch I have to understand more about myself and the world. Also, the actionable steps you outline give me the capability to put my new found knowledge to practical use immediately. I really appreciate everything you do, and I look forward to what you'll create next!
RUclips delivers a huge quantity of value with these channels from differents fields, built by smart and talented people like Andrew Huberman. It is like an expensive University without paying. Thank you for great work!
Thank you Andrew for the effort you have put in to this podcast. Your episode on dopamine control is perhaps the single most useful piece of 2 hour information I have ever come across. Some months ago I stopped snusing (Swedish nicotine products) and I have managed to regulate the time I spend on social media, RUclips, movies and other fun but somewhat procrastinaty activities. Stuff still draws me in of course but I now feel like I have a tool to counter it. When I find myself get sucked in I stop and do a mental check. Do I really need this dopamine-release right now? Or should I refrain from doing the activity and instead put my mind to something else? It has really helped me man. I have loads more energy to distribute on the activities and pursuits that mean a lot to me! So thank you and I hope you keep up or even improve the quality of this awesome podcast! From 🇸🇪 with ❤️ Btw, I have a few questions regarding dopamine and dopamine control. If you would be interested in taking a stab at them I’ll send them to you.
I have a Bachelor’s in Languages for Sales, and am pursuing a Master’s in Food Marketing and Sales. It’s not a science intensive path, and Dr. Huberman sparked my interest in neurology so much that I am contacting my Food Quality professor to start a research for my thesis that can link food marketing with a salutigenic approach to neurology and health optimization through food. It’s big because without Huberman I would have probably just done the classic thesis on some marketing stuff instead of this, which I deem more impactful for consumers and businesses in the industry. I also was going to get a job in a normal food company, but after this renewed interest in health science, I am considering to approach the health industry instead. Incredible how some RUclips videos you come across randomly can change your path so much!! Thank you for your work to you and your whole team.
I listen to your podcast all the time. I cut down on listening so much news and rather enjoy listening to your podcast instead. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful topics you bring to us. It has helped me a lot.
Thank you Dr Huberman, I'm a s-TBI Survivor and was in a coma for 5 months, GC scale of 5 ~ I try to be Natrulpathic in my recovery and will share this with my TBI support group.
Hey Andrew, wanted to say a big thank you for mentioning the Zero app on one of your podcasts, (may have been last week, but can't say for sure as I've been watching them out of synch, depending on what I want to learn at that moment) anyway, the app is brilliant, I've been doing 16 or 18 hours fasts ever since, seeing the progress really helps keep a person motivated. I've also gone low carb and all sweets, chocolate etc are now out of my diet as from the last 6 days. That's a huge thing for me, I have a raging sweet tooth 😆 Not saying the app made me do the fasts or kick my sugar habit, that would be an insane statement, but having something that makes it simple to track has been a game changer. I've lost 6lbs already, water weight, sure, but suddenly I look in the mirror and I have cheekbones! So thank you again for your superb podcast, it has helped put me on the right track in so many areas. 😊 ❤🇬🇧 quick edit: glutamine wasn't my thing, made me feel quite unwell actually. I'm better without it. I think this is due to me having allergies - if glutamine does stimulate the immune system, that can make me feel a bit poo
hey man! thanks for changing my life. i feel amazing and full of energy now, and my skin and health are amazing now thanks to sleep, salt, exercise, sunlight, electrolytes, proper food and supplements. however one weird thing thats happened to me now that I've become healthy for a whole month is that I feel as though my creativity has been blunted. Is this effect temporary? i feel almost like im on chemical antidepressants even though im not. All day long I feel compelled to just do nonstop work, study, cleaning and chores with autistic/military precision. i have a healthy routine now, but my brain no longer feels the desire to waste time working on my hobby/crrative/art/programming projects anymore. back when I was severely deficient in electrolytes and nutrients as well as calories, my physical health was horrible and i was full of anxiety... but being unhealthy made me super creative and full of ideas. back when I was super deficient and unhealthy, i used to avoid doing chores and instead i was creative all day to the detriment of my adult responsibilities. now that I'm healthy though, I am super productive and focused on chores and work and relationships and important thing and i have no deaire to waste time being creative. is this normal?
I overcome the "yuck" response by saying a prayer before eating. I thank Grandmother Earth for providing me this food which will nourish my body and improve my health and well-being. It works because I feel thankful for what I am consuming. If this or other tips helps anyone else who is reading this please share..🙏 Thanks
@@niurkarosa no judgements, no judgements, but what about the victims. If the victim would be a human things would be different. Hence, cannibals are judged by being crazy.
@@veganioan I was going to just ignore ur comment but I want to honor myself. And well the way I see things is that.. I AM the message, not the messenger. And I set an example, then others can follow. I know that at least 7 people in my inner circle have become either vegetarian or vegan by seeing my 17 year journey with food and Holistic lifestyle. And as with Professor Huberman, he doesn't seem to judge us for being ignorant about wrong breathing and eating habits. He is just teaching those who are open to learning and making an effort to educate ourselves. Like I said before, no judgments. Nobody wants to be judged and less likely to open up to learning. All the best to everyone on the journey 🙏
Dr Huberman, thank you for sharing health science in such a dynamic and concise platform. I would (and many others) would appreciate greatly if one subject you could tackle is the gut microbiome and autoimmune diseases which plagues our world insidiously. 😎
Dr.Huberman, as a fellow citizen of the U.S. I am extremely thankful and blessed that you and people like you are doing the job I feel practitioners either don’t know about or don’t like talking about because it’s so much data. Plus, from my experience, those doctors would rather get paid an extra cost rather than explaining the inner workings of the chemical processes within the body. (My doctor is such a bastard and doesn’t explain anything to me) I wish more family practitioners were like you. Please don’t stop the podcast you have so much vital information and know so many good doctors. Thank you, from a person to a person, you have saved my life.
Finally got through this! Thanks for touching on the microbiome! I’d love to see you interview Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (author of Fiber Fueled) or the founders of Seed synbiotic (Ara Katz and Raja Dhir). They are so knowledgeable and it would be epic to see your neuro angle with their microbio focus! Would be sweet. Or plantbased experts Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Michael Greger, or starchivore doc Dr. John McDougall, among many others! I know I’m leaning plantbased here, but the topic is fascinating regardless of your own practices and these are all non-judgemental, science-based researchers with plenty of super cool nerdy factoids and tips! Love your podcasts! 🤘🏻
You’re my #1 podcast. You have beaten out Dr David eagleman 😊 As a brain tumor survivor and an A type. And now a Neuro geek. I am living truth that the brain heals amazly with Neuro plasticity. Thank you for all you do to share yours and others knowledge so I can be an engaged patient. Especially your take on nutrition and supplements- this is a missed opportunity in patient recovery.
Thank you, sir. Can't believe your videos are not suggested more by YT's system. Glad I found you. Now subscribed. As a short-attention-span ADDer, I really appreciate the time and effort put into the episode synopses and time stamping; the video titles are appealing but the lengths of 2 and 3 hours are intimidating to someone like me. The outlines immediately remove that feeling and make the videos even more appealing than the titles alone. Thank you.
Superb Andrew, I love this subject. I studied Astrophysics/Physics at University. When I met my career's advisor and said "I want to study the brain and how it responds to different things, like environment, emotions, chemicals etc." She looked at me like I was crazy and said she had no advice to give. It was 1997, UK. Neuroscience is fantastic. I'd love to help faciltitate getting more of the benefits of this knowledge to the general public" at scale" Loving what you do. 👍
Yet another topic right in line with what's needed in my life. Hypothyroidism/Hashimotos has flipped my eating/cravings from lean healthy meats and vegetables to straight garbage. Fasting and reprogramming my brain to love real food again, is the only way out of this crazy roller coaster of death. Thanks again Dr. Huberman for saving lives.
I had a hemageratic stroke in December I don't currently have use of my left arm and leg. I'm making progress. And I wanted to let you know how helpful a lot of your content has been to me. Thank you very much
Thank you so much Dr. Huberman. I think many would be interested in an episode on nutrition for optimal human development. Foods to eat or feed our children as well as foods for women for a healthy pregnancy and healthy fetus development.
Yes! I can relate to so much of this episode but, particularly around 56:00 in about the rewiring preference of taste and the reward system. I have been fat and then in really good shape 2x in my life. Both times I was able to rewire my pleasure responses from bad foods to healthier foods because of how I relate the positivity in the end result. Now I really don't care for sweet unless it's mild and natural, but I highly prefer healthy foods, and yes it takes time, but like you said in previous episodes on dopamine, once you delay gratification and rethink the reward system, foods that are healthy taste amazing. I have been preaching this to my loved ones for years, and another bonus perk, when you said things that further establish your belief system make you stimulate dopamine, that is true! All this gets me pumped and not only for me, but I was able to convince my GF who did the diet and exercise w me. She has seen through the hard work and from my word that things have changed in her brain!
Let them be kids to adventure,to learn how to socialize,to get the fuck outside and be kind and firm with them...I would keep religious beliefs away from them until their own curiosity drives them to seek. Feed em good nutrient dense food....Sports and music training if you can afford it and they are curious....that's a good start from my sideline...Be well folks.
@@markwallinger5801 Agreed but avoid brain injury in sports, particularly head butting footballs. It is known to have detrimental affects on brain health and function
I went plant based after we a second cancer diagnosis.. I am in remission, but lately have experienced an inflammation feeling in my head. Your food section was very informative! I would love to see “what you eat in a day” . Thank you for sharing!

I rarely consume sucralose but I drink fair amount of diet drinks which contains aspartame. I briefly scanned through the reference paper: "Short-term consumption of sucralose with, but not without, carbohydrate impairs neural and metabolic sensitivity to sugar in humans - Dalenberg et al" to see if they mentioned anything in regards to aspartame. Luckily, it seems like aspartame is the least likely to impair metabolic sensitivity to sugar compared to sucralose and ace-K: "One reason why aspartame may produce less effects on incretins and glucose absorption is that it is rapidly metabolized in the small intestine and would therefore have less opportunity to bind to taste receptor cells or glucose transporters"
Thank you Dr. Huberman! You are helping me and undoubtedly countless others with this podcast. I have been searching for the most recent information to help my parents fight cognitive decline during the constant lockdowns. Any further recommended sources greatly appreciated!
Any kind of social interaction and music included was the biggest for my GPs. Consider l-methylfolate / 5-mthf, (most active form of folate) good for depression and folic acid deficiencies are common in the elderly, not to mention 60% of people have genes that lead to struggles with converting folate into usable form, hence why you need the expensive kind and not the folic acid from Jamieson,
As a person who has been 400 pounds several times I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the last 20 minutes of this podcast!! Dr. Huberman if you could make that into one of your Lab Clips THAT would be amazing!!
Awesome content like always. Really interesting. When are you going to do a series of podcast on TBI, post-tbi, concussion? Could you please include post concussion visual syndrome? And solutions to fix it? Im 2.5years into my 4th mild TBI and still having post concussion visual syndrome despite doing neuro-rehab exercices for 1.5years. Dr don’t really know what to do with me now… but I’m positive there are solutions and I’m still working hard to improve.
Aha! You've helped me finally answer what I've often wondered.. why the things we like to eat as adults are so different from what we found rewarding as kids. I'm sure that is not my only takeaway, but once again so much interesting info! Thank you.
I've hated fish my whole life, had a terrible diet and been addicted to soda. But a few months ago I changed my diet, cut all sugar and started eating salmon 1-2 times a week. I did my research and came to a conclusion that something approximating Mediterranean diet is the best choice. This includes regular consumption of fish, which is full of that precious omega-3... Thinking of omega-3 alone changed my perception of fish and I actually enjoy it now. Even though a year ago I might have puked if i tried to eat it. And, as a matter of fact, as a child i did once puke from fish 😅
I find it rather interesting, I decided to begin eating healthier a few years ago and there were many healthy foods that I disliked and I would not even consider eating. I started introducing those foods into my diet , at first they were uneatable but I continued to eat them and now they are my favorite foods. I thought I was training my taste buds but now I see that I was rewiring my brain, great video, very detailed and informative.
Loved this episode and every episode before. Thank you for sharing illuminating science-based facts that are directly applicable to everyday life. Although I am not at all well-versed in biology I appreciate how you make your episodes easy to follow. I have learned so much from your podcast and also debunked some myths I previously believed. Every episode reminds me that I should really question whether the facts people or media are dispersing are really supported by scientific studies. Also I find your voice extremely calming, it's really been helpful in managing my anxiety. Thanks so much!
No words can pay you justice. Dr. Huberman; Thank for all your science sharing. Every Video of yours has contributed to make my life better (and the people around me), especially your video about Dopamine, it made all the sense and me understand my cravings in a better way, on the long run, understanding Dopamine will improve my business significantly. Thank you.
This is so fantastic! Thank you! I wonder if any research has been done on how chemo and radiation on the various parts of the digestive system (specifically colon cancer) impact the neuropod receptors. I ask this because as a person treated with these chemicals and processes, my digestion doesn’t make sense to me anymore. It would be great to have a better understanding of the physical mechanisms impacted. Maybe someone like me could positively counteract the overall impact of the treatment. Maybe it’s as “simple” as ingesting more fermented foods. Thanks, as always. Honestly, your work is a God-send.
I have only 1/2 a gut after two colon cancer resections. I do my best to manage my biome etc but honestly. It’s a mystery what “sets it off” on horrible symptoms, or doesn’t. I just try to follow the advice and ignore any discomfort!
Besides the information on brain foods and supplements (which is what brought me here), it also reinforced the alternating or sandwiching of new habits with older established habits. Similar to James Clear's habit stacking technique. Do a habit you enjoy, then introduce the new habit, and then possibly add a habit or activity you enjoy after the completion of the new habit. Radio stations do something similar to introduce new music. Play a favorite song, play the new song, and then play another favorite.
Fascinating! Thanks Dr Huberman for sharing your knowledge in such a way that makes a complex subject easy to understand. Priceless! A gift by itself. Starting with the setting which is so relaxing to watch, each of your talks are fascinating as it incorporates many important elements to help your audience discover the wonders of how the brain functions in relation with the body! Brilliant!
I heard of a study a few years ago that found that sweet people tend to like sweet food, bitter people bitter food, and spicy people spicy food, etc. Interstingly enough my favorite salad toppings are honey mustard dressing with jalapeño slices and my husband's are blue cheese with green olives, which pretty accurately describes both of us.
After really enjoying the Dopamine-System episode, i was wondering if you could dedicate and episode to the serotonin/oxytocin/opioid system which gets mentioned briefly in different episodes. Would be really interested :) Thanks! Great Work!!
Yes please. The current pop culture hype train is over focussed on dopamine. Which is understandable, but overused to the point of inaccuracy. We need the Serotonin system to get as much awareness.
I just discovered you about 2 weeks ago and am LOVING your content, which is filling in so many gaps for me as a certified fitness trainer. Thank you for offering this valuable info and I look forward to learning so much more!🙌🏽
Thank you so much to you and your team. Your pure passion and effort to educating the world! I wish there were Japanese subtitles to share the love and knowledge.
Another great episode!!! I can relate to rewiring preferences in food... I never liked vegetables, in my 20s I hardly ever ate any... then I met my husband whose family eats a lot of veggies and fruits and almost NO sugar. After 17 years, I crave salad when I do not have it for 2 days...It makes me put my shoes on and go to a shop. I still do not 'love' vegetables, but I need them and I eat them every day. Raw or cooked. I used to love canned food - now the taste makes me almost nauseous. I do not go to restaurants, because I am too often disappointed. I prefer my cooking... And my kids are on the same wave... which makes me really happy. And when I know that some food is good for me, I just eat it... and force all my family to eat that too... :D We are fighting for cauliflower and cucumber. :D
Fantastic episode. A couple of points: - capsule probiotics: bit shocking these may be bad. Could you explain why in more depth? - what about emulsifiers and fillers in supplements? Silicondioxide gets a bad rep, but it's in quite a few supplements (even in those of Thorne)
Many listeners including me might benefit if you would address diet: carbs (including sugar and fructose), fats, and proteins. Ornish and Esselsyyn promote high carb, low fat diets for heart health and diabetes reversal. Gundry and Mercola promote high fat, fairly low carb diets. There is so much conflicting information out there. I can't sleep if I don't eat enough carbs at dinner and I don't sleep through the night if I eat dinner to early. I don't think restricting my feeding window is helping my health if I don't sleep well.
You should look into Modafinil. It’s a nootropic that is used to battle narcolepsy! I’ve tried myself and I think it’s a great alternative as far as medication.
Thank you Dr. Huberman for this amazing episode! I never knew that we like certain foods not only because they taste good, but also because they make our neurons in our gut metabolically active! Such an interesting mechanism that we can leverage in order to promote healthy eating in our lives. I'm looking forward to future episodes!
And I was just going to ask for an episode on learning disabilities, reading, studying, etc. Not doing so hot in grad school right now, This helps a lot, thank you!
I'm not even in grad school and am about 60% through a biochemistry degree. This is my worst semester ever. I have ADHD and am taking online classes which I'm finding out are not compatible at all for me. I literally have no drive for school. I'm probably going to fail.
@@jtcrook32 Me too with ADD. Doing some online hmk right now proving very difficult. So far, failed my first exam. I'm going to try a "text to speech" program to see if it helps me retain what I read. Good luck to you!
When Dr. Huberman is like, "... and thank you for your interest in science." Ummmmm hold up dude. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING ZERO COST TO CONSUMER INFORMATION ABOUT SCIENCE AND SCIENCE-RELATED TOOLS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!! My interest is sparked and fulfilled by your podcast. Keep it up and I will do the same!! Can't wait for the episode on concussions!! Hope you have a croissant in the near future ;)
Haha 😂 he makes me want to have a chocolate croissant! Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (tbi) would be awesome and personal for me. I hope to see some content on that also.
Right. Thank God for Dr. Huberman. I have a neurological issue called cluster headaches and my neurologist says it can't be good for the brain to keep having these extreme pains and we don't know the effects long term. So I'm trying to take care of my body and brain hoping it will heal. I also try to stay active mentally. Learn something everyday.
I have background in finance and banking supervision so I do need help when it comes to understanding medical science and Dr Huberman makes it so easy by linking all the good research. I can't express how thankful I am.
I think we can participate in optimizing his capacity- by learning in 10-20” gaps over time= exponential gain over time. I Love learning when it comes yo this podcast
@@niurkarosa Just wrote the same before seeing this... I get the feeling people w/ TBI (like myself) have different brain function as far as processing food/supplements... Sometimes I get the feeling I am forging paths to "work around" the injury which is located in the temporal lobe area... It's almost like trying to reach a destination and the "bridge has been washed out" requiring me to find an alternate route to accomplish simple decision making processes.
@@zeynand4039 There was a guy I call the Niacin Guru on Twitter that had documented cases indicating that a protocol of 500 mg - 1G of FULL FLUSH NIACIN + 500mg Niacinamide coupled w/ 10-20MG OF MELATONIN obliterates cluster headaches... The "Burn" takes some getting used to, but the optimal dosage can be reached incrementally which will help you to adjust to the flush...

Drink it in moderation (a glass a day), never after exercise, drink with food, you *can* drink in the morning (Google the morning benefits), make sure It is a good healthy brand (
Didn’t get any morning sunlight for over 20 YEARS and struggled with depression and poor sleep for most of my adult life. Discovered this podcast and decided to try getting morning sunlight for 10 minutes every day because why the hell not, it can’t hurt.

I just love how concise you are in your podcasts, it's an hour and a half of one relevant piece of info after another.
I quit most podcasts because they waste so much time going off topic, joking and what not.
That's true. Mostly at end it's just some stories, narration and no ideas to remember or apply.
We have enought narration going within the mind..
This one stand out.
He is funny tho. Very brief asides make me laugh.
I absolutely agree, I gave up all other health, science podcasts because I want to be able to learn & absorb all the wealth of knowledge that Andrew Huberman teaches with such ease . What a find! I'm so grateful for this really helpful data.
I so sorry for your lost time. Now let us pray 🙏 . Thanks

So fascinating & I love your sense of humour . You are a phenomenal speaker . Let’s clone you … thank you so much . Amazing . Grateful follower … taking the info on board . Thanks 🙏🏻. Lina
Greetings from Finland! This podcast has been such an eye opener. I've got so many new tools to manage my circadian rythm for example. Andrew you are true rockstar of science. And a good humour too. I find myself rather often chuckling which is rare.
Huberman: First thing in the morning: Get some sunlight in your face.
Finland: 🌫
Samaa mieltä. Torille!! 😂
Yup, totally agree with you. Greetings from Finland Dr. Huberman.
Feel like I'm back in College but the difference is I love these classes delivered with such simplicity. Thanks Sparta!!!! Love your work.
This is one of the best and most applicable talks I’ve heard so far with direct implications on health coaching. The concept of the role of the insula connects directly to current concepts about enteroception and chronic pain. This may be a good topic for future discussion. A study just released on pain reprocessing therapy and neuroplastic pain speaks to this.
You sir, are a fine example of what one person can do to make the world a better place. Thank you.
The last 20 minutes or so tie together a mechanism for conditioning nearly any association with dopamine reward - BRILLIANT!!! The ability to intentionally wire behaviors/associations with neurological reward, or rewire maladaptive habits/behaviors, is priceless. Thank you for connecting the dots.
Andrew has become like a father figure to me. I've learned so much from his videos and I come back to them again if I feel like I should know more regarding what I'm learning, how I'm learning, or if I'm confused about what's going on in my mind. I have no idea how I stumbled upon his content, but it's one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Life would have been seriously different and cluttered without him. I hope you never stop making these videos. To people like us, it gives us a new perspective, and it's one of the best things that can ever happen to anyone. We all need guidance, and you help us to provide it in the best way possible. Once again, thank you, Mr Huberman.
I think my life has changed a lot for the better after discovering this podcast. Thank you Dr. Huberman for putting this great work together for the general public. 👍👍
Your podcasts are perhaps the only ones with actual useful information. I’ve never learned so much in just one podcast. Thank you
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters.
I love reading through the comments where my questions are answered. ☀️
EPISODE 48-1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!
As a person with Parkinson’s (PWP) I’d really love a video on PD and unconventional methods of addressing the symptoms and the only current typical end point of deep brain brain stimulation (a kind of pacemaker for the brain.) thanks for you videos!
Italian 🇮🇹. I discovered Huberman podcasts "by accident". I'm always been interested in science, in psychology and now i am also interested in neuroscience. Thanks to Dr Huberman to divulgate these kind of information FOR FREE and in a very professional and scientific manner.
And guys... This man can speak for two hours in a row without be redundant, without any difficulties and without annoying the public. I think it's because he's competent and completely passionate about the matter.
Well done, i say 👏
Just here to mention that the suggestion of pinch of salt with a glass of water in the morning from last week's episode has paid huge dividends for me already.
I had struggled with what seemed like some kind of neural fatigue for a while now, sodium seems to have immediately fixed that!
Also, it greatly impacted my REM sleep according to my Oura ring - I get the same amounts of REM in 7 hours of sleep that I used to need 9 hours for! And this directly results in better cognitive performance during the day, as I had a day where I slept less than 7 hours (and REM was also less according to my Oura that day), so I was immediately brain fogged again.
I missed that episode
Can you pls clarify a bit more About salt + water thing , since I feel fatigued in the morning as well
Shall one take it in the morning right after one wakes up ?
The water must be hot or cold or lukewarm ?
Appreciate if you could elaborate a bit
in what podcast did he talk about this?
@@akshaynarwadkar5264 There's a lot of information out there on salt helping the adrenal glands. No difference on water temperature, though warmer water can help raise body temperature which helps wakefulness. Add as much salt as you can tolerate. I add potassium citrate as well. Some people like lemon juice as well. I use mineral water or seltzer personally. Cheers. Been doing this for about 6 years now.
Dr Huberman , you have no idea how much I appreciate the fact you given us all needed information and all the possible options for obtaining them Without trying to sell us some products you make , your service to humanity is much appreciated and you have our love and blessings for being a great human being ❤️🙏🏽
You have a phenomenal understanding of the brain, the ability to convey such complexities in such a simple form is a true gift. I had one doctor who unfortunately passed away with similar understanding, and I always thought it a shame for humanity when most of his research ended, without much exposure to the outer world. Thank you for sharing these not only for now, but for those who may need it later.
This is absolutely brilliant. The extreme intelligence and deep insightfulness of Andrew is so readily apparent. I nominate him for supreme ruler of the galaxy.
Nothing can be exchanged for the knowledge Andrew brought us, priceless.

Phosphphatidylserine - I supplement with it. Started after my doc had me start using it. Did not know the benefits of it on brain function until this video. I noticed immediately after I started it, I had less aches and pains and stiffness in the body. I read it should be taken with turmeric and omega 3, so I also do that. Glad to hear that I’m also benefitting my brain! I loved this supplement after feeling the immediate effects on my body and now love it even more!

mind blown on the fact that artificial sweetener + blood glucose increasing food lead to later insulin secretion in response to artificial sweetener alone. biology!
bruh its common sense....natural food gives you best result...unless you're a GMO Humane.
Thank you for providing such relevant information for us clinicians trying to help our patients- I use your teachings all the time when working with people trying to improve their health 😉 it’s incredible how people respond to Frank scientific information
I read the study it’s interesting but the blood response graphs appear to improve insulin sensitivity post glucose but also increase fasting insulin. I don’t understand how a more acute response is supposed to be worse (as this usually signals better insulin sensitivity so my only thought is the graph is mislabeled? There aren’t tables included to confirm or deny what’s shown.). Further if you look at the box plots there is least variability in the combined group but different people had really different responses both above and below the mean so this might be one to self-study if you use artificial sweeteners…
@@caseyj1144 Not sure if I understand you correctly. I believe you are talking about the graphs that show increased insulin in the combo group? Increased insulin level (production) in response to the same amount of sugar consumption, which means insulin is not doing the job (decreasing blood glucose) properly, thus decreased insulin sensitivity.
@@giraffecolor5681 yes that’s what I was referring to- did you look at it? That would be the case if it remained high, but it still decreased quickly which is what you want for insulin sensitivity. If you have more thoughts on it definitely lmk I’m here to learn but I also think a lot of great scientists don’t look super thoroughly at the math to see if the discussions match what the numbers show, so I always read them myself
I wish podcasts transforming people's health and well-being were accessible in as many languages as possible. Understanding our brain is a fantastic opportunity for change in so many directions. Thank you for showing me this opportunity.
After I got acquainted with these excellent Huberman Podcasts, I hv been wondering what can I learn from nuroscience about the biggest problem of my life, Stutterering. I can't talk fluently. My speech consists of unintentional blocks, prolongations and repetitions. It's super frustrating being a teenager and not being able to raise my voice. Definitely there's something wrong in my brain's left hemisphere. Some people say it's just a bad habit of talking which I have practiced for a long time. May be that's true. May be I have developed some new neural circuits which is only allowing me to speak this broken way. May be a part of my brain has been changed its shape and now I am a stutterer.
However, being optimistic, I'm hoping to be able to adopt some new ways to talk properly. I'm only 20 so I believe my brain is highly plastic and I can make some positive changes in it regarding my speech.

Paul stamets has an interesting story about fixing his stutter.
@@andrealucy91 Thanks for the information! I'll search it.
I have a friend who is a stutter coach. He's removed his stutter and helped lots of others. Are you on Facebook?

Although I have been working from home, I allow myself to be tethered to my computer without putting nutrition or rather eating in general on my to do list. I recently started crashing around 2pm on the daily, but this topic reminded me of the importance of nutrition which I need to be more mindful of especially as I age. Since listening to this particular subject I've put the nutrients first and no longer crashing. The nutrient tools you provide here are quite simple but TOO easily neglected. Thank you for all you do, Andrew Huberman!
The explanation that connects diet sodas to insulin is the best I’ve heard, the fact that diet soda once paired with glucose increasing foods can later and by itself cause the secretion of insulin without blood sugar is mind blowing. thank you!
It's absolutely crazy.
But then again. Many fat people said they lost a lot of weight by switching to diet soda 🤔
@@alexanderwindh4830 Probably because they drank less of it because it tastes like crap. Although I have heard of people who drink liters a day.
The future of healing is right on our doorsteps. Please bring the Medical Medium , Anthony William onto your Podcast. He needs more and more of the good Drs, we all do. Thankyou for the work you do i appreciate you.
Thanks to you I started taking an Omega 3 EPA supplement about a month ago. While not entirely resolved, it has minimized my depression symptoms significantly. Thanks for sharing your expertise and this small tip is life changing.
B complex. D. 3. Litium oratatein small doses.
Nothing but a placebo. I've eaten oily fish all my life, almost daily, and have been depressed for 20 years.
I am amazed of the lectures of Dr. Huberman, even without illustrative video or photos - simply by gestures - he can animate his lessons.
Just want to let you know Andrew, that I'm so grateful to be able to enjoy your podcast. It's clear you put a lot of work into these, and it does not go unnoticed!
I learn so much from every episode. The detailed explanations you give about how various facets of the brain and body work really scratch that itch I have to understand more about myself and the world. Also, the actionable steps you outline give me the capability to put my new found knowledge to practical use immediately.
I really appreciate everything you do, and I look forward to what you'll create next!
RUclips delivers a huge quantity of value with these channels from differents fields, built by smart and talented people like Andrew Huberman.
It is like an expensive University without paying. Thank you for great work!
Thank you Andrew for the effort you have put in to this podcast. Your episode on dopamine control is perhaps the single most useful piece of 2 hour information I have ever come across. Some months ago I stopped snusing (Swedish nicotine products) and I have managed to regulate the time I spend on social media, RUclips, movies and other fun but somewhat procrastinaty activities. Stuff still draws me in of course but I now feel like I have a tool to counter it. When I find myself get sucked in I stop and do a mental check. Do I really need this dopamine-release right now? Or should I refrain from doing the activity and instead put my mind to something else? It has really helped me man. I have loads more energy to distribute on the activities and pursuits that mean a lot to me! So thank you and I hope you keep up or even improve the quality of this awesome podcast! From 🇸🇪 with ❤️
Btw, I have a few questions regarding dopamine and dopamine control. If you would be interested in taking a stab at them I’ll send them to you.
Can you please link the episode to me?!
I have a Bachelor’s in Languages for Sales, and am pursuing a Master’s in Food Marketing and Sales. It’s not a science intensive path, and Dr. Huberman sparked my interest in neurology so much that I am contacting my Food Quality professor to start a research for my thesis that can link food marketing with a salutigenic approach to neurology and health optimization through food. It’s big because without Huberman I would have probably just done the classic thesis on some marketing stuff instead of this, which I deem more impactful for consumers and businesses in the industry. I also was going to get a job in a normal food company, but after this renewed interest in health science, I am considering to approach the health industry instead. Incredible how some RUclips videos you come across randomly can change your path so much!! Thank you for your work to you and your whole team.

Thank you Dr Huberman, I'm a s-TBI Survivor and was in a coma for 5 months, GC scale of 5 ~ I try to be Natrulpathic in my recovery and will share this with my TBI support group.
Hey Andrew, wanted to say a big thank you for mentioning the Zero app on one of your podcasts, (may have been last week, but can't say for sure as I've been watching them out of synch, depending on what I want to learn at that moment) anyway, the app is brilliant, I've been doing 16 or 18 hours fasts ever since, seeing the progress really helps keep a person motivated. I've also gone low carb and all sweets, chocolate etc are now out of my diet as from the last 6 days. That's a huge thing for me, I have a raging sweet tooth 😆
Not saying the app made me do the fasts or kick my sugar habit, that would be an insane statement, but having something that makes it simple to track has been a game changer. I've lost 6lbs already, water weight, sure, but suddenly I look in the mirror and I have cheekbones!
So thank you again for your superb podcast, it has helped put me on the right track in so many areas. 😊 ❤🇬🇧 quick edit: glutamine wasn't my thing, made me feel quite unwell actually. I'm better without it. I think this is due to me having allergies - if glutamine does stimulate the immune system, that can make me feel a bit poo
I've been loving the Zero app too! Downloaded it last week & it's a great support tool for tracking fasting.
hey man! thanks for changing my life. i feel amazing and full of energy now, and my skin and health are amazing now thanks to sleep, salt, exercise, sunlight, electrolytes, proper food and supplements. however one weird thing thats happened to me now that I've become healthy for a whole month is that I feel as though my creativity has been blunted. Is this effect temporary? i feel almost like im on chemical antidepressants even though im not. All day long I feel compelled to just do nonstop work, study, cleaning and chores with autistic/military precision. i have a healthy routine now, but my brain no longer feels the desire to waste time working on my hobby/crrative/art/programming projects anymore. back when I was severely deficient in electrolytes and nutrients as well as calories, my physical health was horrible and i was full of anxiety... but being unhealthy made me super creative and full of ideas. back when I was super deficient and unhealthy, i used to avoid doing chores and instead i was creative all day to the detriment of my adult responsibilities. now that I'm healthy though, I am super productive and focused on chores and work and relationships and important thing and i have no deaire to waste time being creative. is this normal?
I overcome the "yuck" response by saying a prayer before eating. I thank Grandmother Earth for providing me this food which will nourish my body and improve my health and well-being. It works because I feel thankful for what I am consuming. If this or other tips helps anyone else who is reading this please share..🙏 Thanks

If the victim would be a human things would be different.
Hence, cannibals are judged by being crazy.
@@veganioan I was going to just ignore ur comment but I want to honor myself. And well the way I see things is that.. I AM the message, not the messenger. And I set an example, then others can follow. I know that at least 7 people in my inner circle have become either vegetarian or vegan by seeing my 17 year journey with food and Holistic lifestyle. And as with Professor Huberman, he doesn't seem to judge us for being ignorant about wrong breathing and eating habits. He is just teaching those who are open to learning and making an effort to educate ourselves. Like I said before, no judgments.
Nobody wants to be judged and less likely to open up to learning. All the best to everyone on the journey 🙏
@@niurkarosa Best comment ever!
Dr Huberman, thank you for sharing health science in such a dynamic and concise platform. I would (and many others) would appreciate greatly if one subject you could tackle is the gut microbiome and autoimmune diseases which plagues our world insidiously. 😎
It is amazing to me how Andrew can elaborate and explain all this Neuroscience complexity out of his mind for almost 2 hours, Good Stuff !
Dr.Huberman, as a fellow citizen of the U.S. I am extremely thankful and blessed that you and people like you are doing the job I feel practitioners either don’t know about or don’t like talking about because it’s so much data. Plus, from my experience, those doctors would rather get paid an extra cost rather than explaining the inner workings of the chemical processes within the body. (My doctor is such a bastard and doesn’t explain anything to me) I wish more family practitioners were like you. Please don’t stop the podcast you have so much vital information and know so many good doctors. Thank you, from a person to a person, you have saved my life.
Finally got through this! Thanks for touching on the microbiome! I’d love to see you interview Dr. Will Bulsiewicz (author of Fiber Fueled) or the founders of Seed synbiotic (Ara Katz and Raja Dhir). They are so knowledgeable and it would be epic to see your neuro angle with their microbio focus! Would be sweet. Or plantbased experts Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Michael Greger, or starchivore doc Dr. John McDougall, among many others! I know I’m leaning plantbased here, but the topic is fascinating regardless of your own practices and these are all non-judgemental, science-based researchers with plenty of super cool nerdy factoids and tips! Love your podcasts! 🤘🏻
You’re my #1 podcast. You have beaten out Dr David eagleman 😊 As a brain tumor survivor and an A type. And now a Neuro geek. I am living truth that the brain heals amazly with Neuro plasticity. Thank you for all you do to share yours and others knowledge so I can be an engaged patient. Especially your take on nutrition and supplements- this is a missed opportunity in patient recovery.
Hello Dr. Huberman, hope you're doing amazing. Be blessed sweet professor 🙏🤍🕊✝️

Thank you, sir. Can't believe your videos are not suggested more by YT's system. Glad I found you. Now subscribed. As a short-attention-span ADDer, I really appreciate the time and effort put into the episode synopses and time stamping; the video titles are appealing but the lengths of 2 and 3 hours are intimidating to someone like me. The outlines immediately remove that feeling and make the videos even more appealing than the titles alone. Thank you.
Superb Andrew,
I love this subject. I studied Astrophysics/Physics at University. When I met my career's advisor and said "I want to study the brain and how it responds to different things, like environment, emotions, chemicals etc." She looked at me like I was crazy and said she had no advice to give. It was 1997, UK.
Neuroscience is fantastic. I'd love to help faciltitate getting more of the benefits of this knowledge to the general public" at scale"
Loving what you do. 👍
Yet another topic right in line with what's needed in my life. Hypothyroidism/Hashimotos has flipped my eating/cravings from lean healthy meats and vegetables to straight garbage. Fasting and reprogramming my brain to love real food again, is the only way out of this crazy roller coaster of death. Thanks again Dr. Huberman for saving lives.
I had a hemageratic stroke in December I don't currently have use of my left arm and leg. I'm making progress. And I wanted to let you know how helpful a lot of your content has been to me. Thank you very much

Thank you so much Dr. Huberman. I think many would be interested in an episode on nutrition for optimal human development. Foods to eat or feed our children as well as foods for women for a healthy pregnancy and healthy fetus development.
Yes! I can relate to so much of this episode but, particularly around 56:00 in about the rewiring preference of taste and the reward system. I have been fat and then in really good shape 2x in my life. Both times I was able to rewire my pleasure responses from bad foods to healthier foods because of how I relate the positivity in the end result. Now I really don't care for sweet unless it's mild and natural, but I highly prefer healthy foods, and yes it takes time, but like you said in previous episodes on dopamine, once you delay gratification and rethink the reward system, foods that are healthy taste amazing. I have been preaching this to my loved ones for years, and another bonus perk, when you said things that further establish your belief system make you stimulate dopamine, that is true! All this gets me pumped and not only for me, but I was able to convince my GF who did the diet and exercise w me. She has seen through the hard work and from my word that things have changed in her brain!
Would be tremendous if we could get a podcast dedicated to children's physical and brain health best practices and so on.
Let them be kids to adventure,to learn how to socialize,to get the fuck outside and be kind and firm with them...I would keep religious beliefs away from them until their own curiosity drives them to seek.
Feed em good nutrient dense food....Sports and music training if you can afford it and they are curious....that's a good start from my sideline...Be well folks.

I rarely consume sucralose but I drink fair amount of diet drinks which contains aspartame. I briefly scanned through the reference paper: "Short-term consumption of sucralose with, but not without, carbohydrate impairs neural and metabolic sensitivity to sugar in humans - Dalenberg et al" to see if they mentioned anything in regards to aspartame. Luckily, it seems like aspartame is the least likely to impair metabolic sensitivity to sugar compared to sucralose and ace-K:
"One reason why aspartame may produce less effects on incretins and glucose absorption is that it is rapidly metabolized in the small intestine and would therefore have less opportunity to bind to taste receptor cells or glucose transporters"
Thank you Dr. Huberman! You are helping me and undoubtedly countless others with this podcast. I have been searching for the most recent information to help my parents fight cognitive decline during the constant lockdowns. Any further recommended sources greatly appreciated!
Any kind of social interaction and music included was the biggest for my GPs. Consider l-methylfolate / 5-mthf, (most active form of folate) good for depression and folic acid deficiencies are common in the elderly, not to mention 60% of people have genes that lead to struggles with converting folate into usable form, hence why you need the expensive kind and not the folic acid from Jamieson,
@@andrewconnor4429 thanks! I will look into it
Many thanks for you being there! Case HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) would be more than welcomed.
As a person who has been 400 pounds several times I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the last 20 minutes of this podcast!! Dr. Huberman if you could make that into one of your Lab Clips THAT would be amazing!!
YEAH i AM 900 LBS TOO
Would you summarize in your own words for us and yourself as well.
Awesome content like always. Really interesting.
When are you going to do a series of podcast on TBI, post-tbi, concussion?
Could you please include post concussion visual syndrome? And solutions to fix it?
Im 2.5years into my 4th mild TBI and still having post concussion visual syndrome despite doing neuro-rehab exercices for 1.5years. Dr don’t really know what to do with me now… but I’m positive there are solutions and I’m still working hard to improve.
Aha! You've helped me finally answer what I've often wondered.. why the things we like to eat as adults are so different from what we found rewarding as kids. I'm sure that is not my only takeaway, but once again so much interesting info! Thank you.
I've hated fish my whole life, had a terrible diet and been addicted to soda. But a few months ago I changed my diet, cut all sugar and started eating salmon 1-2 times a week. I did my research and came to a conclusion that something approximating Mediterranean diet is the best choice. This includes regular consumption of fish, which is full of that precious omega-3... Thinking of omega-3 alone changed my perception of fish and I actually enjoy it now. Even though a year ago I might have puked if i tried to eat it. And, as a matter of fact, as a child i did once puke from fish 😅
I find it rather interesting, I decided to begin eating healthier a few years ago and there were many healthy foods that I disliked and I would not even consider eating. I started introducing those foods into my diet , at first they were uneatable but I continued to eat them and now they are my favorite foods. I thought I was training my taste buds but now I see that I was rewiring my brain, great video, very detailed and informative.
what were some of those foods?
@@nutamilikole3492 What foods did you introduce?
Loved this episode and every episode before. Thank you for sharing illuminating science-based facts that are directly applicable to everyday life. Although I am not at all well-versed in biology I appreciate how you make your episodes easy to follow. I have learned so much from your podcast and also debunked some myths I previously believed. Every episode reminds me that I should really question whether the facts people or media are dispersing are really supported by scientific studies. Also I find your voice extremely calming, it's really been helpful in managing my anxiety. Thanks so much!
My entire bachelor's degree pales in comparison to everything I've learned from Huberman. Thank you, you're my hero Andrew!❤
All these episodes are amazing! Thank you for taking the time to translate important science for the masses :)
No words can pay you justice.
Dr. Huberman; Thank for all your science sharing.
Every Video of yours has contributed to make my life better (and the people around me), especially your video about Dopamine, it made all the sense and me understand my cravings in a better way, on the long run, understanding Dopamine will improve my business significantly.
Thank you.
This is so fantastic! Thank you! I wonder if any research has been done on how chemo and radiation on the various parts of the digestive system (specifically colon cancer) impact the neuropod receptors. I ask this because as a person treated with these chemicals and processes, my digestion doesn’t make sense to me anymore. It would be great to have a better understanding of the physical mechanisms impacted. Maybe someone like me could positively counteract the overall impact of the treatment. Maybe it’s as “simple” as ingesting more fermented foods. Thanks, as always. Honestly, your work is a God-send.
Check out Dr Zach Bush videos fall in love with him then use his product Ion biome -
I have only 1/2 a gut after two colon cancer resections. I do my best to manage my biome etc but honestly. It’s a mystery what “sets it off” on horrible symptoms, or doesn’t. I just try to follow the advice and ignore any discomfort!
@@suze1958wilde thanks so much for the feedback. I hope that you don't suffer too much 😘
Besides the information on brain foods and supplements (which is what brought me here), it also reinforced the alternating or sandwiching of new habits with older established habits. Similar to James Clear's habit stacking technique. Do a habit you enjoy, then introduce the new habit, and then possibly add a habit or activity you enjoy after the completion of the new habit. Radio stations do something similar to introduce new music. Play a favorite song, play the new song, and then play another favorite.
Would love an episode on Red Light therapy!
Absolutely fascinating! Explains why when eating for a personally important goal, that food starts to feel great despite being bland
Fascinating! Thanks Dr Huberman for sharing your knowledge in such a way that makes a complex subject easy to understand. Priceless! A gift by itself. Starting with the setting which is so relaxing to watch, each of your talks are fascinating as it incorporates many important elements to help your audience discover the wonders of how the brain functions in relation with the body! Brilliant!
I heard of a study a few years ago that found that sweet people tend to like sweet food, bitter people bitter food, and spicy people spicy food, etc. Interstingly enough my favorite salad toppings are honey mustard dressing with jalapeño slices and my husband's are blue cheese with green olives, which pretty accurately describes both of us.
😂😂😂 so your husband is smelly and bitter 😂😂😂
Thank you doctor! I've turned around my life with your podcasts
One of the few podcasts I have listened to where I actually learned something worth knowing.
After really enjoying the Dopamine-System episode, i was wondering if you could dedicate and episode to the serotonin/oxytocin/opioid system which gets mentioned briefly in different episodes. Would be really interested :) Thanks! Great Work!!
Yes please. The current pop culture hype train is over focussed on dopamine. Which is understandable, but overused to the point of inaccuracy. We need the Serotonin system to get as much awareness.
@M Martin If your afraid to take oxy the smart pill, they why waste time.
Agreed! And a bit about the endocannabinoid system if possible too
I just discovered you about 2 weeks ago and am LOVING your content, which is filling in so many gaps for me as a certified fitness trainer. Thank you for offering this valuable info and I look forward to learning so much more!🙌🏽
It broke my heart to see family member suffering from depression. Why can’t doctors formulate a cocktail to give to patients through IV periodically.
Thank you so much to you and your team. Your pure passion and effort to educating the world! I wish there were Japanese subtitles to share the love and knowledge.
Surprised doc didn't mention hemp seeds when discussing omegas
Another great episode!!! I can relate to rewiring preferences in food... I never liked vegetables, in my 20s I hardly ever ate any... then I met my husband whose family eats a lot of veggies and fruits and almost NO sugar. After 17 years, I crave salad when I do not have it for 2 days...It makes me put my shoes on and go to a shop. I still do not 'love' vegetables, but I need them and I eat them every day. Raw or cooked. I used to love canned food - now the taste makes me almost nauseous. I do not go to restaurants, because I am too often disappointed. I prefer my cooking... And my kids are on the same wave... which makes me really happy. And when I know that some food is good for me, I just eat it... and force all my family to eat that too... :D We are fighting for cauliflower and cucumber. :D
Fantastic episode. A couple of points:
- capsule probiotics: bit shocking these may be bad. Could you explain why in more depth?
- what about emulsifiers and fillers in supplements? Silicondioxide gets a bad rep, but it's in quite a few supplements (even in those of Thorne)
I swear, these episodes just get better & better. Thank you Andrew! Very interesting information and very good presentation.
I can not get enough of this information. I'm so grateful for this man's work and what he is sharing with us. 🙏
I am so thankful for this and the free public education you are providing.
Many listeners including me might benefit if you would address diet: carbs (including sugar and fructose), fats, and proteins. Ornish and Esselsyyn promote high carb, low fat diets for heart health and diabetes reversal. Gundry and Mercola promote high fat, fairly low carb diets. There is so much conflicting information out there. I can't sleep if I don't eat enough carbs at dinner and I don't sleep through the night if I eat dinner to early. I don't think restricting my feeding window is helping my health if I don't sleep well.
Would love a deep dive into narcolepsy & how to reconcile the effects of medications used to treat it, with their long term effects on the brain…
me too, snoozing during the day not fitting with aviidung foid vefore/after...
You should look into Modafinil. It’s a nootropic that is used to battle narcolepsy! I’ve tried myself and I think it’s a great alternative as far as medication.
Thank you Dr. Huberman for this amazing episode! I never knew that we like certain foods not only because they taste good, but also because they make our neurons in our gut metabolically active! Such an interesting mechanism that we can leverage in order to promote healthy eating in our lives. I'm looking forward to future episodes!
Made my 40 Mondays worthy!
yep! exactly.
I used to hate Mondays….. not anymore!! Now it’s my favorite day!!🤣👍🏽
The only choline I could find from Thorne is the physohpsydal choline.. is that sufficient?
And I was just going to ask for an episode on learning disabilities, reading, studying, etc. Not doing so hot in grad school right now, This helps a lot, thank you!
I'm not even in grad school and am about 60% through a biochemistry degree. This is my worst semester ever. I have ADHD and am taking online classes which I'm finding out are not compatible at all for me. I literally have no drive for school. I'm probably going to fail.
@@jtcrook32 Me too with ADD. Doing some online hmk right now proving very difficult. So far, failed my first exam. I'm going to try a "text to speech" program to see if it helps me retain what I read. Good luck to you!
Can’t get enough of your podcasts 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thanks so much for your contribution to science. Hugs from Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦
This podcast is the only thing that Im looking forward to on monday lol
If only all teachers were as good as Dr. Huberman ! Thank you sir !
