When a scientist says "I'm not sure about that", or says, someone else "is the expert on that" they have more credibility. This guy knows enough to know what he doesn't know.
@@JesusChrist2000BC He has to make policy recommendations based on that science or what little science there is out there and as you know science evolves.
Love how Professor Huberman strives for clarity and is measured in his speech. He is teaching us merely by talking how we should be mindful in communication.
This podcast channel continues to exceed all expectations- thank you Dr. Huberman for the high quality of your solo presentations, as well as the quality of your guests, and your skills as a host.
A conversation between two people - one of whom has the art of asking questions that elicit the foundations of a discipline, and of another who is an expert in the discipline, is a feast of the senses. Add to this a humility on both sides with a large pinch of mutual respect and you have an incredible experience. Thank you both for making this available for the rest of us.
I’m not a scientist or as knowledgeable as this wonderful man but 3months ago I purchased and read a book called Breathe and I now only breath through my nose, I tape my mouth every night, I also breathe much less... my health has improved unbelievably, no more blood pressure or cholesterol tablets, I lost weight and my energy is increasing continually , it’s absolutely amazing something so simple has such incredible effects... highly recommend it , I’m nearly 70 and feel better than I have in years

Professor Feldman is awesome; I'm so glad you had him on. I was fortunate enough to have him on my thesis committee and he was a huge part of improving my scientific thinking and teaching skills.
I'm a 70 year old woman and I found the information very helpful and interesting. I want to increase my energy and keep learning about health. Thank you
I’ve been meditating on and off for 40 years. I’ve read James Nestor’s book and still can’t get over the fact I sigh every 5 to 10 minutes. Amazing what I learn here!!
I just finished this. My favorite one so far. Dr Jack Feldman is a wealth of knowledge and ….well, if I were in college, I would seek him out as a professor and mentor. He is one of a kind.
Just a quick message of appreciation for you Andrew ! Your podcasts have truly done wonders for me. The topics covered are diverse. I am a Software Engineer and Economics Double Major, but I have been always fascinated by Neuroscience. I learn a lot by your podcasts as they cover diverse topics while having the core concepts always showing and linking to the new ones. The problem with RUclips is that their is so much people who present these information with good intent but are underqualified in doing so, so it really is wonderful to see you and such experts like Dr Jack come and present us with all this information for free. For that , I - and I shall assume many like me - am truly grateful.
As someone who, not very long ago, realized I'd hold my breath, (for short spurts, obviously LoL), quite often, I am very pleased with this particular podcast... Thank you❣️
a few months ago I was on a hike. I came in a dangerous situation. I was very afraid to fall off a cliff. My breathing became chaotic and it made me more afraid of falling. I couldn't think straight because of the fear. Then in a flash I remembered dr. Andrew Huberman! In different episodes dr. Andrew Huberman handed the tool of a breathing technique to calm one down in the present moment where one experiences stress or anxiety. ( so once I calmed down through right breathing I could think straight again and figure out how to save myself from my own stupidity once again) I thought later on, still being alive and all, sjeez ... I really got saved in many ways by this podcast. I expressed my thanks before in a comment on a different episode but I wanted to share this too. I remembered it while I am watching this episode. Dank je wel!
Just wanted to thank you. I have struggled with chronic anxiety that induced tachycardia pretty much all day, especially while trying to sleep. I fell asleep listening to this while practicing deep breathing. I’ve always known my shallow breathing contributed to my condition but have a hard time sticking with it long enough because my heart races for so long. This time I didn’t give up. I kept at it for nearly an hour and felt my whole body calm down. I was so present. Fell asleep and woke up with my heart rate more calm. To anyone who struggles with chronic anxiety, it will take you longer to feel the effect of deep breathing so keep at it. Especially if you are sleep deprived. Your body is extra hyped from stress. You got this. I feel amazing today.
I've recently moved away from home (NYC) during the pandemic. It's got me appreciating the way that people from home show love. It ain't perfect, but it's what I know. Thank you for your dedication in teaching science! It's only grown my appetite for more!
I found this discussion fantastic-- richly academic, unscripted but guided, and very real. The banter is a bonus. Academic discourse rules! For those that want a 2 min sound bite don't watch, for the rest of you, enjoy! Thank you!
Dr Huberman - all I can say is that I feel so blessed to have discovered your Podcast & to be living in a world where someone like you takes the time to share their knowledge & wisdom! You impact so many lives so positively. I am forever grateful!! 🙏🏽 Thank you also to Dr Feldman for his insights! Extraordinary podcast indeed!
Dr Huberman, you have the most incredible guests as many do as well, but what makes the difference between you and others are your brilliant questions and allowing your guests to answer them without making it about your own ego 🙏🏽
Not only a great researcher, scientist and presenter, but as it turns out, a great interviewer as well. What a great man! Thank you for all the work you've done with this channel!
By the way, can you guys share other masters of breathing that we can learn from? Other than this podcast, I'll be learning from Rickson Gracie and Wim Hof.
"Without a diaphragm, you're an amphibian." I am so quoting this in my breathing classes! Thank you for this incredibly educational interview. Huberman Lab Podcast is by far my favorite podcast. Side note-- love the mate gourds on the shelf. I have a bunch of painted ones I got in Buenos Aires on my shelf as well.
So pleased to see this- I've been trying to focus on nasal breathing for the last few weeks to improve immunity and sleep & have already felt a bit of a difference (certainly with sleep). Every time I comment I want to just say- thank you again for your podcasts & for sharing your knowledge with us. Hopefully, our collective consciousness improves- & you're definitely on the side of trying to improve our evolutionary potential as a species. ❤
Andrew, I discovered your podcast in November last year and I cannot be happier that I did. You are addressing points and going in depth on topics I have only touched on the surface, but yet been very interested in. So far you have made the start of 2022 tremendous for me, thanks for your content and much love!
I'd like to request an episode on grief - how it affects the brain. Lot's around the world experiencing this right now - young adults - I lost my dad to Covid and he was age 54. Catching up on all of your episodes, day by day. Thanks for all you do...
I don't remember thanking you for this talk, you and Dr. Feldman literally saved my life when I had covid. Much love, appreciation and many thanks to for you both.
As always, enjoyed this a lot. Please have Dr. Jack Feldman again soon. Been on a loop for this week. Thanks, Prof. Andrew & the Huberman Lab Team. Bless you all!
This is a superb interview/dialogue and a fascinating topic. You can learn how a devoted scientist--one with integrity, curiosity, and humility--thinks, experiments, analyzes, and very consciously and responsibly gives credit to the work of others. Also and importantly, Feldman kept emphasizing that in the human body, there is no one pathway, in isolation, that generates an effect--a useful understanding applicable to innumerable other things in this world. I deeply appreciate Huberman's unsensationalistic approach to interviewing and respect his candor and matter-of-fact tone when describing sponsors and their products.
Not sure how common this knowledge is but I figure with a crowd focused on breathing it would fit. When your sinuses are clogged or stuffy and it's impeding your ability to get a full enough inhale or exhale through your nose you can do what I call the Nose-Plate Wiggle and the Gravity Drain. The Wiggle involves taking two fingers and pressing them into the space just above the bridge of your nose but below your brow. Then press your tongue into the roof of your mouth right where it sits when you say a hard letter T. Alternate pressing on both to wiggle your Nose-Plate helping to loosen clogs. The Gravity Drain works best after the Wiggle. Look straight up, support the back of your head with a hand if you need to. You want your neck just past the point where the joint rests into place. Doing this creates a mostly vertical channel that lets things drain. I've done this any time Im congested and it doesn't cure it but it gets back to being able to oxygenate your system with closer to normal efficiency. Again not sure how commonly known these techniques are, just felt the strongest need to share.
Interesting - thank you. The yogic method is tilt your head away from the nostril that is more clogged and do alternate nostril breathing until the blocked nostril opens. You can lay on your side if you're really clogged (clogged side up).
Excellent podcast. When listening and reflecting on my own journey of exploring breathwork, and healing my mind from mental disturbances that proved to be of correctable physiological origin, is how psychotropic pharmaceutics influence respiration. For many, including myself, breath work has been an integral part of stopping psychotropic medications after being on them for years. Love the info about how laughing influences respiration patterns. Many people experience laughter differently when medicated. More recently I’ve been experimentally with tweaking low dose thyroid medication of thyroxine (t4) and liothyronine (t3) to achieve optimal levels and one of the most challenging things has been how my baseline breathing (and emotional state) is impacted by increasing or decreasing these hormones. Happy I’ve found the magic dosages for me now :) It has been an integral part of my yogic path of healing to experiment with how intentionally using my breath can help me have more serenity and focus and energy during my days and quality sleep at night.
Dr. Huberman just want to let you know your podcast has changed my life for the better. Been doing nasal breathing more, read Dopamine Nation, How Emotions Are Made, Lifespan since. Used the cold to cheeks & hands trick, etc. Added Apigenin to good effect. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank You Dr Huberman and Feldman! As a Respiratory Therapist I really enjoyed this podcast about the respiratory system, the diaphragm, sighs and different breathing practices. I’ve treated many patients on mechanical ventilators, asthma and copd. Also, recently started a breathing practice of my own. It has definitely made a difference with pain control and the anxiety associated with the pain. Thank You and looking forward to episode 2.
You're slowly putting the pieces together to create an all encompassing protocol for depression relief and I hope you or some of your colleagues are working on that. Breath work, meditation, psychedelic treatment, intention setting, nutrition, exercise. I'm seeing so many parallels in all these recent episodes. Keep up the good work sir!
Dr. Huberman's interviewing chops are so so impressive!! This is a wonderful model of how to be an expert while also respectfully and humbly interacting with others - there are moments in which I know I would have been ~OFFENDED~ and upset by some of Dr. Feldman's responses, but Dr. Huberman takes it all in stride and can see past the tone to the good intentions and the great information! He is such an inspiration for how to be an academic, or even just an expert more generally. Love love love love this podcast!
You nailed it. I applaud Hubermans’ ability to not engage with Feldmans obvious and rather schlocky attitude regarding academic elitism/one-up-manship. I’m sure they’re “friends” and all, but it was slightly irritating to have to listen to Huberman circumvent Dr. Feldmans oppositional responses instead of both parties (ahem*Feldman*ahem) playing for the home team of science.
I watch all of your podcasts and you never fail to amaze or inspire but this podcast with Dr Jack has to be one of your best. The content and information was truly outstanding and the demeanour and candour with Dr Jack is so refreshing. Thank you and thank you Dr Jack. I really look forward to part two and, to your next podcast.
I'm a mast cell consultant and run a mast cell educational page. I promote using breathwork to interrupt unhelpful brain and nervous system dysregulation and the fear response. I keep it very simple initially with regular 5:7 breathwork done all throughout the day. It's very helpful and myself and my clients have used it to slow mast cell degranulation and stop anaphylactic cascades. (Atypical anaphylaxis with MCAS.) Keeping it simple helps when brains go off line during pre anaphylaxis, when it can be difficult to remember it make sense of anything. I trained myself and encourage others to create a "reflex" to an stressor of dropping into nasal, longer exhale breathing. I loved this in depth conversation about breathing and learned several things. Thank you both for doing it!
Talking about my experience, the real game changer has been just forcing myself to close my mouth and breath trough my nose. 24h/day. It's a new life for me
Ive started doing the same since about 5 days. How did it influenced your life? Im not really detecting any difference, since i was a half mouth half nasal breather.
@@Gjini99 i really think and hope that my epilepsy is gone thanks to nasal breathing. Above all, my stress level is below zero, mental focus at the top while before I couldn't even talk to somebody without having my brain in confusion. For me it's a revolution. With nasal breathing I mean literally closing the mouth 24h/day and breathing only through my nose (not just 10 minutes or so)
@@isaarunarom7830 once I tried 3 days fasting and the 3rd day I had a seizure. Often I went into keto but stress level wasn't still OK and I always felt at risk of seizure. Most of all I didn't accept the fact that I could have a seizure just because I was out of ketosis. Indeed I was right. For sure ketosis ensure a low stress level but right breathing is much more powerful and now if I want to have a treat I don't have to feel worried anymore.
I really appreciate how Professor Huberman facilitated this conversation. There is a lot to be learned from this episode, and it's more than the science of respiration.
Hi Andrew your podcasts are amazing. Your teaching can be understood by the common people of any age. The tools you have suggested are really helpful. My daughter of age 13 also listens to ur podcasts and says it is very informative and easily understandable. Thank you. - From India.
I am interested in the improved golf game!! When I tee off, I take in a breath, and a little intake at the end of that (two breaths in), then I blow it out before I swing. It really calms me. Thanks Dr. Huberman!!
One of the fastest growing channel on RUclips. Every video has insane about of value. Insane = People who can easily charges atleast $97 for one video amount of content shared in this channel.
I remember, after one of your first episodes where you talked about Physiological Sigh, realizing how much breathing well or the lack of it can affect our lives...in regulating stress and so on, And realized that I always had to breathe through my mouth because my nose was halfway blocked, but lived my life like that anyways because- well, how do you know how normal people breathe? Thanks for opening my eyes on the matter, getting me to seek treatment, making me relearn breathing the way it should be done, making me say SO THIS IS HOW THEY BREATHE and moreover, inspiring me to decide to study our nervous system. Every episode there is a piece of knowledge I wanna pass on to the people I love
Simply cannot get enough of the podcast. A great privilege to be given the opportunity to listen and learn from Dr. Feldman. I appreciate your Science for all & that you seem to unpack or wheel back at exactly the point in any conversation, where I feel lost or would like a deeper dive! Brilliant. Thank For sharing Dr. Sinclair with us also. Enjoying his 7 episode PC on Longevity. You are truly a Scientist for the Sciences (no ego / disdain for competition versus collaboration).Appreciated and Applauded.
Hey Andrew, first off, thank you for the incredible job you do with these podcasts. I do have one suggestion that I believe could help myself and many others which is to briefly include on-screen lists to briefly summarize when you mention multiple points especially in the solo podcasts. I find that seeing things in a list especially the tools you provide can make it very easy to remember them and revisit the podcast when I need a refresher. Thank you again!
@@daveyboy4715 hey Davey, thank you for this tip! I can not find the transcript though. I mean, there are the subtitels. In the description there is a summary. But where is the transcript? Ps I found it in the browser version of RUclips. Not in my app version. How great is that! Thank you for the tip!!!
To me the so called Air Hunger Drill is a jack of all trades. Complete exhalation, breath hold, followed by some isometric or medium bodyweight exercise like push up, squats, inhale if the urge is too strong then catch your breath and calm it down as fast as possible. To me, this exercise combines the best of the best. The full exhalation encourages you to inhale with the full range of motion of the diaphragm, so it Re establishes diaphragmatic breathing. The breath hold and exercise raises the co2 levels and buteyko has shown the benefits of this clearly. The catching of your breath after the exercise really trains you to catch your breath and calm it down, much more efficiently than any counting or box breathing does. It really spikes energy levels in zero time. Something inbetween a small wim hof round and buteyko exercise. Genius.
This sounds very interesting . Never heard of this . Going to give it a shot. Im already thinkng its going to help just from the sound of it. I had a freak 'accident' that altered my breath in a negative manner. For years Ive been SLOW LY learning ways to get it back to normal. The lungs also weakened. To much to describe but your comment is inspiring, thanks 👍😊
@@bellezavudd hey, sorry to hear that, I wish you the best of improvement. It might be a little aggressive to begin with this exercise. I've learned a lot from German breathing physical therapy, especially during times of long covid clients. To begin I would suggest to practice proper positioning in order to assist the respiration muscles and reduce the weight your diaphragm has to do to love the ribcage. In German we call this the "kutschersitz", a variation of the tripod position. The PRI institute as well as Eric Goodman's foundational Training provide good instructions on proper positioning to encourage optimal ribcage expansion during inhalation. Nonetheless, I found that a combination of the following would provide a very successful entrance in "proper" respiration: 1. Get into some form of tripod position where your arms are supporting your ribcage 2. Exhale all the air out of your lungs in a sighing manner 3. Do the "double inhale" as in Hubermans physiological sigh to inflate all the avioli 4. Exhale as slowly as you possibly can, if so though the nose (feather breathing), if not through pursed lips, even up until the point of slight panicking on which you repeat the process. I wish you the best of success and hope I could provide a little bit of help. 🙏
Hi Dr. Huberman, could you please discuss about inflammation and its impact on the brain/cognition/behavior? Again, myself and my family greatly appreciate your wonderful job! Your exceptionally valuable efforts have been making tremendous positive changes in our lives! Thank you very much!!!
Sitting at your feet while you have these incredible conversations has become a highlight of my weeks. I love that I have to stop periodically and let it sink in, so it takes me a couple days to get through. This particular conversation was refreshingly deep in detail. Many of us live for the details. 😁 Thank you both for expanding our understanding of breathing. It’s also fun to see the genuine respect and affection you share with your scientific peers, Andrew. Last week’s podcast on habits had me running the 21 day experiment. Daily time doing some breath work was one of the six I chose to attempt. It made me giggle to see the title for this week. 😄 I’ve been spontaneously choosing the technique of the day, and is been so much fun I can see this one becoming a daily habit by day 21. Thanks, both of you, for helping me improve my life. 🤗💜 We look forward to Part 2.
Thank you so much for the valuable, practical life changing advice. I recently went to hospital for a relative 'intimidating' prostate procedure for which I had to 'take someting' to reduce my or rather the extreme anxiety. I decided upon your physiological sighs - various combinations based on the unpredictable triggers from the mind. Amazing - the sense of self control I got from it. Thank you.
Thank you, Jack and Andrew. Just this basic description of how breath works - the diaphragm goes down - has had me breathing through this talk far more efficiently than I ordinarily would, with the increase in calm and visual clarity you might expect from that. I've read two books on breath, including James Nestor's, at your recommendation, Andrew, and have benefited, but somehow this simple explanation of the mechanism has passed me by up to now, or I've simply never encountered it. I'd heard of belly breathing, but I didn't get it from that and it didn't help. It seems my breathing's been somewhat dysfunctional and it seems from the fact that there's so much breath advice out there, that I'm not alone in that. Why is that? It's weird. You'd think it would happen perfectly without us having to think about it, as I imagine it does for most animals. The fact that it doesn't for many of us seems like a synecdoche of how humanity is screwed up.
A little more on the above that I've found helpful in the few days since watching this: I've lately watched some videos on 'postural restoration,' which talks a lot about the asymmetry of the body and, in particular, how we really have two diaphragms and the one on the left is higher. I have been focusing on breathing with this one, which seems, when I really pay attention, to mostly be immobilised by tension. Being able to work on this, I've significantly relieved a painful constriction, which feels like being twisted out of shape, in my abdomen and shoulders that has troubled me for years.
Thank you Dr. Huberman ! Your podcast is Extremely important brother. You make the medical information clear & very easy to absorb. Your way of speaking & how you convey the information is Clear & easily digested by average people. I've been immensely enlightened about my mind, body, & gut through listening your Awesome podcast dr. Huberman. BTW, Your voice is really nice to listen to & is very calming. Thanks again. Peace & much Love to you brother
I love this podcast. Breathing techniques have always been of interest to me due to a long history of allergy & asthma has now run last couple of years being into regular meditation. P.s.I love that you asked Dr. Feldman about supplementation. I take Mg threonate daily. I started taking 3 years ago due to starting keto. It's the only magnesium that doesn't cause me digestive stress & it greatly helps with reducing muscles cramps I was getting in my extremities during weight training for bodybuilding competition & it has helped my sleep quality greatly after going into full menopause! Mg- threonate has been a little miracle for me to sustain function both cognitively & physically!
@@stephaniemeeker5977 I've been taking magnesium threonate from "Vitacost," their brand. 3 Caps is = 2010 mg of magnesium threonate, but this converts to 144 mg total of magnesium. I usually have 1 cap 3 times a day. If having trouble sleeping, I have increased my night dose to 2 Caps.
It's happening just as I said it would...the healing phase of being "scared to death" is pneumonia, aka "flu". So as people are released from the solitary confinement of their homes (because of media and government lies based on the fraudulent Germ Theory), and people begin to get happy and feel less stressed, the result will be the healing phase....of pneumonia, flu, colds, general sickness. You can also see the light sensitivity, appendicitis in some, numerous tooth problems and gum swelling, laryngitis, etc. The fear campaign has caused ALL the illnesses, not a Boogey Virus. Every disease is based on the Germ Theory, which was the theory of ONE man over 100 years ago. It was never proven to be 100% valid, and has not even been QUESTIONED again. Why? In order for a theory to be valid, it must be reproduceable in each and every person 100% of the time. Every single person exposed to a "virus" MUST get sick from it 100% of the time, over and over again. It's how you PROVE a theory is valid. This was never done. Scientists used to think witches and witchcraft were valid!! Educated people?? hahaha!! If you cannot "catch" cancer, arthritis or diabetes from another person, then you cannot "catch" a cold or flu. There is no such thing that only SOME diseases are communicable, but not all. It's either all or none of them...they are all based on the same Germ Theory. If you can't “catch" someone's lung cancer, you can't "catch" their colds or flu. Upsetting and distressing events in a person's life is what causes ALL cancer and cancer-equivalent disease, cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. A massive fear campaign will CAUSE people to be "worried sick", but sickness doesn't happen until people resolve their fears. Why do you think kids get sick in October? Because their fear of going back to school and being upset about it finally dissolves, and they get back into their routines. What the media and government is doing to people is criminal. So of course, when everyone is allowed to escape the hostage situation the governments have put their people into, and they start relaxing about the "scary virus" that's not in any way transmissible, they will begin their healing phase (get sick), and the corrupt governments will call it a different “scary” word, a different Boogey Man coming to get you.....repeat the same mistakes that never worked from the beginning, re-institute the same restrictions that only made people more traumatized, and more panic will ensue as well as martial law, a removal of all your rights, and you let it happen. The longer people allow this government to hold them hostage in their homes, the more severe the "sickness" will be. Western Medicine is pure fraud, and people's lives are destroyed because of it. Welcome to the United States of China.
@@nosferatu2242 The Yogis never left written ecords of what they did and why. They just passed on their secrets to another Brahmin by word of mouth - sort of "Brahmin Whispers". Compare that with the attitude of Messrs. Huberman and Feldman who give what they know freely to the world. That may give a hint why there is no comparison....if you care to think about it!
Breathe consciousness changed my life to the deepest. Physically and emotionally. Also, Patrick McKeown would had some essential knowledge to complete this great interview. Oxygen Advantage with Boutenko roots have those informations that no one got. Also among other yogi books, Iyengar book Light on Pranayama has immense insights. I hope to hear more from breathing interviews from you Andrew. The world need to know more about this master tool that is so simple but is so complex too. The army use it, great yogis master it, Buddhist focus on it. They for sure have serious reasons for that. And most of us... suffer from bad breathing patterns days and night, that we are mostly unaware of, but have terrible consequences on our body and mind. Breathing deep isn't enough. The anatomy and physiology of breathing should be a specific subject in education from children to elders to really transform life experience.
Just came back to United State, from Colombia but while in there I didn’t missed any of your Podcasts thanks, they are amazing and everything and everyone you present or invite are incredible!!! Thanks 😊 for getting so much knowledge to us “Mind Curious”
THANK YOU for a beautiful and enlightening conversation with Dr. Feldman Andrew! And I totally agree on your 2022 trend predictions. If I could also add Quercetin supplementation and diet diversity (for our gut microbes!) to the mix🙏💜🤗
Great discussion, long await by me. Lots of info!! I’ll need to listen again with pen and paper, as it was tricky to glean protocols. I’ve been following Buteyko Breathing for 12 years and was surprised not to hear any reference to it. Maybe it’s because he’s a Russian. Especially interesting there is the references to the Bohr effect in the regulation of oxygen/carbon dioxide levels. Thanks as always !
This guest was very entertaining. The way he tells story is captivating. I wish he would conclude his thoughts though. There were many threads that didn't conclude and we are left hanging to as what the conclusion was formed from these experiments. Hoping for a return!
Thank you, Andrew, and thank Jack, too of course, for this phenomenal talk. You bring a lot of value to so many people, it is astonishing. Can you do me a favor and do an episode on migraines? My sister and mother suffer severely from it and nothing seems to really help. I would be so grateful if you could explain the science and tools for keeping migraines at bay. Thank you, Andrew
Since you’re a professor, I think it would be really interesting to make a podcast where you give advice to students about: how to study the most efficiently, sleep, exercise, focus, diet/ supplementation, perhaps even mental health, etc. Yes it’s going to overlap with many other podcasts, but that’s what’s going to make it even more interesting.
@@corentinheuchamps1193 also sign up for the Neural Network newsletter! There he describes what you're asking in a super protocol as he calls it I think
💯 agree. This one was ROUGH. I got nothing out of it besides he doesnt believe breathwork does much. Kind of shocking. Need to look at what other experts think
Thanks a lot Dr. Feldman. This was eye-opening and entertaining at the same time. I do appreciate your sincerity and specifity when it comes to facts vs speculations as a real scientist should do. Please honor us with more appearances 🙏
Absolutely amazing conversation, up to tears sometime. Thank you so much for opportunity to listen from Pioneers at their fields and be a witness of such deep calm yet active dialogue 🙏
'Breath is the gross manifestation of the very subtle mind. By awareness of the breath, one quiets the mind, which is then able to turn its attention inwards, to the source of awareness itself, and thus realize its true nature, the source of eternal absolute Being.' - Sri Ramana Maharishi of Arunachala.
The most fascinating aspect is BUDDHA figured the importance of breathing and introduced such great medication techniques. Now science is supporting that and giving us more reasons to adopt these techniques. Thank you, Dr. Huberman for enlightening us.
As to martial artists exhaling on a strike, in Taiji Quan they teach a technique called "Tiger Breathing". The Chinese word for tiger is pronounced "Hu". If you make that sound very forcefully, you will feel you abdominal muscles contract as you exhale, thus providing the stable base for the ribs and the core that Jack speaks of. This is why Asian martial arts famously make noises when they strike. "Hi-ya" is really pronounced "Hu". And you definitely want to exhale on the strike, so as to relax the body for more power. You then tense the fist at the last second. This is developed over years of striking bags.
I would love a segment on altitude and the general effects (long-term and short-term) of living and/or training at altitude. I’ve lived most of my adult life at altitude (5K-9K) and there are some really special differences (many not related to athleticism) as compared to sea level/intermediate. That’s my wish, Dr. H. Thanks ever so much for all you do:)
I believe the breathing before death he is talking about is called: Cheyenne-stokes breathing. I remember assessing this type of breathing during my internship in nursing school on elderly patients that where at end stages of life aka hospice care. Its a breathing pattern that's very unique
GHYNE STOKE BREATHING ALSO IN NEW BORN AS THEIR LUNGS ARE STILL STICKY.TILL NOW REMEMBERED HOW MY BREATHING WAS MIRROR TO MY SON BREATHING WATCHING HIM IN CRADLE.
When a scientist says "I'm not sure about that", or says, someone else "is the expert on that" they have more credibility. This guy knows enough to know what he doesn't know.
yeah instead of "I'm science", "you can't critize science" lol... hmmm...
Something clowns like Fauci never say.
Which breeds TRUST.
@@JesusChrist2000BC He has to make policy recommendations based on that science or what little science there is out there and as you know science evolves.
@@jammRJ Which he doesn't do. Thousands of studies prove him wrong.
Love how Professor Huberman strives for clarity and is measured in his speech. He is teaching us merely by talking how we should be mindful in communication.
This. I'd love to see some book recommendations or something written by Andrew regarding communication.
I bet he's matt from tinder.
Well said.
The added bonus- moments clarifying humous digs 💀 lol
Sad. The bar really is that low.
This podcast channel continues to exceed all expectations- thank you Dr. Huberman for the high quality of your solo presentations, as well as the quality of your guests, and your skills as a host.
Exactly! Something I really look forward to every Monday. Always informative and amazing!!
A conversation between two people - one of whom has the art of asking questions that elicit the foundations of a discipline, and of another who is an expert in the discipline, is a feast of the senses. Add to this a humility on both sides with a large pinch of mutual respect and you have an incredible experience. Thank you both for making this available for the rest of us.
I’m not a scientist or as knowledgeable as this wonderful man but 3months ago I purchased and read a book called Breathe and I now only breath through my nose, I tape my mouth every night, I also breathe much less... my health has improved unbelievably, no more blood pressure or cholesterol tablets, I lost weight and my energy is increasing continually , it’s absolutely amazing something so simple has such incredible effects... highly recommend it , I’m nearly 70 and feel better than I have in years

The way prof. Huberman puts his questions in such polite and respectful manner is really something to look up for.
Professor Feldman is awesome; I'm so glad you had him on. I was fortunate enough to have him on my thesis committee and he was a huge part of improving my scientific thinking and teaching skills.
Thanks, Dan. Hope all is well. Jack
I'm a 70 year old woman and I found the information very helpful and interesting. I want to increase my energy and keep learning about health. Thank you
I’ve been meditating on and off for 40 years. I’ve read James Nestor’s book and still can’t get over the fact I sigh every 5 to 10 minutes. Amazing what I learn here!!
The fact that all these podcast are free is just amazing.
I just finished this. My favorite one so far. Dr Jack Feldman is a wealth of knowledge and ….well, if I were in college, I would seek him out as a professor and mentor. He is one of a kind.
Just a quick message of appreciation for you Andrew ! Your podcasts have truly done wonders for me. The topics covered are diverse. I am a Software Engineer and Economics Double Major, but I have been always fascinated by Neuroscience. I learn a lot by your podcasts as they cover diverse topics while having the core concepts always showing and linking to the new ones. The problem with RUclips is that their is so much people who present these information with good intent but are underqualified in doing so, so it really is wonderful to see you and such experts like Dr Jack come and present us with all this information for free. For that , I - and I shall assume many like me - am truly grateful.
I respect that the doctor acknowledges when there’s a subject outside of his expertise. Makes him more credible in my opinion
Pleasant interviewing, short connecting questions and active listening in perfection, eliciting all the knowledge from the interview partner.
As someone who, not very long ago, realized I'd hold my breath, (for short spurts, obviously LoL), quite often, I am very pleased with this particular podcast... Thank you❣️
a few months ago I was on a hike. I came in a dangerous situation. I was very afraid to fall off a cliff. My breathing became chaotic and it made me more afraid of falling. I couldn't think straight because of the fear. Then in a flash I remembered dr. Andrew Huberman! In different episodes dr. Andrew Huberman handed the tool of a breathing technique to calm one down in the present moment where one experiences stress or anxiety. ( so once I calmed down through right breathing I could think straight again and figure out how to save myself from my own stupidity once again) I thought later on, still being alive and all, sjeez ... I really got saved in many ways by this podcast. I expressed my thanks before in a comment on a different episode but I wanted to share this too. I remembered it while I am watching this episode. Dank je wel!
This podcast has never made monday more exciting
same
It makes every day exciting practicing what he teaches!
Just wanted to thank you. I have struggled with chronic anxiety that induced tachycardia pretty much all day, especially while trying to sleep.
I fell asleep listening to this while practicing deep breathing.
I’ve always known my shallow breathing contributed to my condition but have a hard time sticking with it long enough because my heart races for so long.
This time I didn’t give up. I kept at it for nearly an hour and felt my whole body calm down. I was so present. Fell asleep and woke up with my heart rate more calm.
To anyone who struggles with chronic anxiety, it will take you longer to feel the effect of deep breathing so keep at it. Especially if you are sleep deprived. Your body is extra hyped from stress.
You got this. I feel amazing today.
I've recently moved away from home (NYC) during the pandemic. It's got me appreciating the way that people from home show love. It ain't perfect, but it's what I know. Thank you for your dedication in teaching science! It's only grown my appetite for more!
Dr Michael Greger Podcast ??
I found this discussion fantastic-- richly academic, unscripted but guided, and very real. The banter is a bonus. Academic discourse rules! For those that want a 2 min sound bite don't watch, for the rest of you, enjoy! Thank you!
Dr Huberman - all I can say is that I feel so blessed to have discovered your Podcast & to be living in a world where someone like you takes the time to share their knowledge & wisdom! You impact so many lives so positively. I am forever grateful!! 🙏🏽
Thank you also to Dr Feldman for his insights! Extraordinary podcast indeed!
Dr Huberman, you have the most incredible guests as many do as well, but what makes the difference between you and others are your brilliant questions and allowing your guests to answer them without making it about your own ego 🙏🏽
Not only a great researcher, scientist and presenter, but as it turns out, a great interviewer as well. What a great man! Thank you for all the work you've done with this channel!
The universe has been telling me to master breathing for a while now. And since Doc Huberman released this, I think it's time.
Same.
U good?
It is a lost art 🤷♂️
By the way, can you guys share other masters of breathing that we can learn from? Other than this podcast, I'll be learning from Rickson Gracie and Wim Hof.
@@keenan3618 since when are westerners masters of breathing ? Maybe one day you will stop deluding yourself...,,🙄...look to the east 🤷♂️
"Without a diaphragm, you're an amphibian." I am so quoting this in my breathing classes! Thank you for this incredibly educational interview. Huberman Lab Podcast is by far my favorite podcast. Side note-- love the mate gourds on the shelf. I have a bunch of painted ones I got in Buenos Aires on my shelf as well.
This podcast takes my breath away. Inhale exhale once again much appreciation to Dr. Andrew Huberman and team.
What a fabulous human being Jack Feldman is. Absolutely fascinating podcast. Thank you Andrew for making this available to us.
So pleased to see this- I've been trying to focus on nasal breathing for the last few weeks to improve immunity and sleep & have already felt a bit of a difference (certainly with sleep). Every time I comment I want to just say- thank you again for your podcasts & for sharing your knowledge with us. Hopefully, our collective consciousness improves- & you're definitely on the side of trying to improve our evolutionary potential as a species. ❤
So inspiring. How wonderful to see a combination of brillance and humility that is evident in Dr. Feldman.
Andrew, I discovered your podcast in November last year and I cannot be happier that I did. You are addressing points and going in depth on topics I have only touched on the surface, but yet been very interested in. So far you have made the start of 2022 tremendous for me, thanks for your content and much love!
I'd like to request an episode on grief - how it affects the brain. Lot's around the world experiencing this right now - young adults - I lost my dad to Covid and he was age 54. Catching up on all of your episodes, day by day. Thanks for all you do...
I don't remember thanking you for this talk, you and Dr. Feldman literally saved my life when I had covid. Much love, appreciation and many thanks to for you both.
As always, enjoyed this a lot. Please have Dr. Jack Feldman again soon. Been on a loop for this week. Thanks, Prof. Andrew & the Huberman Lab Team. Bless you all!
This is a superb interview/dialogue and a fascinating topic. You can learn how a devoted scientist--one with integrity, curiosity, and humility--thinks, experiments, analyzes, and very consciously and responsibly gives credit to the work of others. Also and importantly, Feldman kept emphasizing that in the human body, there is no one pathway, in isolation, that generates an effect--a useful understanding applicable to innumerable other things in this world. I deeply appreciate Huberman's unsensationalistic approach to interviewing and respect his candor and matter-of-fact tone when describing sponsors and their products.
Not sure how common this knowledge is but I figure with a crowd focused on breathing it would fit. When your sinuses are clogged or stuffy and it's impeding your ability to get a full enough inhale or exhale through your nose you can do what I call the Nose-Plate Wiggle and the Gravity Drain.
The Wiggle involves taking two fingers and pressing them into the space just above the bridge of your nose but below your brow. Then press your tongue into the roof of your mouth right where it sits when you say a hard letter T. Alternate pressing on both to wiggle your Nose-Plate helping to loosen clogs.
The Gravity Drain works best after the Wiggle. Look straight up, support the back of your head with a hand if you need to. You want your neck just past the point where the joint rests into place. Doing this creates a mostly vertical channel that lets things drain.
I've done this any time Im congested and it doesn't cure it but it gets back to being able to oxygenate your system with closer to normal efficiency.
Again not sure how commonly known these techniques are, just felt the strongest need to share.
Interesting - thank you. The yogic method is tilt your head away from the nostril that is more clogged and do alternate nostril breathing until the blocked nostril opens. You can lay on your side if you're really clogged (clogged side up).
Ayoo Thank you so much this actually worked very well, Much love!
Go vegan n don’t get clogged!!
Excellent podcast. When listening and reflecting on my own journey of exploring breathwork, and healing my mind from mental disturbances that proved to be of correctable physiological origin, is how psychotropic pharmaceutics influence respiration. For many, including myself, breath work has been an integral part of stopping psychotropic medications after being on them for years. Love the info about how laughing influences respiration patterns. Many people experience laughter differently when medicated. More recently I’ve been experimentally with tweaking low dose thyroid medication of thyroxine (t4) and liothyronine (t3) to achieve optimal levels and one of the most challenging things has been how my baseline breathing (and emotional state) is impacted by increasing or decreasing these hormones. Happy I’ve found the magic dosages for me now :) It has been an integral part of my yogic path of healing to experiment with how intentionally using my breath can help me have more serenity and focus and energy during my days and quality sleep at night.
Dr. Huberman just want to let you know your podcast has changed my life for the better. Been doing nasal breathing more, read Dopamine Nation, How Emotions Are Made, Lifespan since. Used the cold to cheeks & hands trick, etc. Added Apigenin to good effect. Keep up the great work!!!
What is the cold to check and hand trick? What is Apigenin?
Thank You Dr Huberman and Feldman! As a Respiratory Therapist I really enjoyed this podcast about the respiratory system, the diaphragm, sighs and different breathing practices. I’ve treated many patients on mechanical ventilators, asthma and copd. Also, recently started a breathing practice of my own. It has definitely made a difference with pain control and the anxiety associated with the pain. Thank You and looking forward to episode 2.
You're slowly putting the pieces together to create an all encompassing protocol for depression relief and I hope you or some of your colleagues are working on that. Breath work, meditation, psychedelic treatment, intention setting, nutrition, exercise. I'm seeing so many parallels in all these recent episodes. Keep up the good work sir!
Dr. Huberman's interviewing chops are so so impressive!! This is a wonderful model of how to be an expert while also respectfully and humbly interacting with others - there are moments in which I know I would have been ~OFFENDED~ and upset by some of Dr. Feldman's responses, but Dr. Huberman takes it all in stride and can see past the tone to the good intentions and the great information! He is such an inspiration for how to be an academic, or even just an expert more generally. Love love love love this podcast!
You nailed it. I applaud Hubermans’ ability to not engage with Feldmans obvious and rather schlocky attitude regarding academic elitism/one-up-manship. I’m sure they’re “friends” and all, but it was slightly irritating to have to listen to Huberman circumvent Dr. Feldmans oppositional responses instead of both parties (ahem*Feldman*ahem) playing for the home team of science.
I watch all of your podcasts and you never fail to amaze or inspire but this podcast with Dr Jack has to be one of your best. The content and information was truly outstanding and the demeanour and candour with Dr Jack is so refreshing. Thank you and thank you Dr Jack. I really look forward to part two and, to your next podcast.
I'm a mast cell consultant and run a mast cell educational page. I promote using breathwork to interrupt unhelpful brain and nervous system dysregulation and the fear response. I keep it very simple initially with regular 5:7 breathwork done all throughout the day. It's very helpful and myself and my clients have used it to slow mast cell degranulation and stop anaphylactic cascades. (Atypical anaphylaxis with MCAS.) Keeping it simple helps when brains go off line during pre anaphylaxis, when it can be difficult to remember it make sense of anything. I trained myself and encourage others to create a "reflex" to an stressor of dropping into nasal, longer exhale breathing. I loved this in depth conversation about breathing and learned several things. Thank you both for doing it!
Talking about my experience, the real game changer has been just forcing myself to close my mouth and breath trough my nose. 24h/day. It's a new life for me
Ive started doing the same since about 5 days. How did it influenced your life? Im not really detecting any difference, since i was a half mouth half nasal breather.
@@Gjini99 i really think and hope that my epilepsy is gone thanks to nasal breathing. Above all, my stress level is below zero, mental focus at the top while before I couldn't even talk to somebody without having my brain in confusion. For me it's a revolution. With nasal breathing I mean literally closing the mouth 24h/day and breathing only through my nose (not just 10 minutes or so)
@@zambrocca sounds really impressive and im happy for you. I hope it also benefits me like this.
@@zambrocca you tried fasting? Keto carnivore atkins or just plain not eating.....
Just curious if any of those have worked for you.
@@isaarunarom7830 once I tried 3 days fasting and the 3rd day I had a seizure. Often I went into keto but stress level wasn't still OK and I always felt at risk of seizure. Most of all I didn't accept the fact that I could have a seizure just because I was out of ketosis. Indeed I was right. For sure ketosis ensure a low stress level but right breathing is much more powerful and now if I want to have a treat I don't have to feel worried anymore.
I really appreciate how Professor Huberman facilitated this conversation. There is a lot to be learned from this episode, and it's more than the science of respiration.
Hi Andrew your podcasts are amazing. Your teaching can be understood by the common people of any age. The tools you have suggested are really helpful. My daughter of age 13 also listens to ur podcasts and says it is very informative and easily understandable. Thank you. - From India.
I am interested in the improved golf game!! When I tee off, I take in a breath, and a little intake at the end of that (two breaths in), then I blow it out before I swing. It really calms me. Thanks Dr. Huberman!!
I'm SO glad that Lex pushed you to do this. Priceless information
One of the fastest growing channel on RUclips. Every video has insane about of value. Insane = People who can easily charges atleast $97 for one video amount of content shared in this channel.
I have seen so many Huberman Lab Podcast and enjoy them all. But something about this one I found really interesting.
This podcast is pure gold as general and this segment with Dr. Feldman was long but I couldn’t stop listening.
Been doing my best to up my breathwork! Thanks Andrew for your continued efforts to make health and science understandable for the average human!
I remember, after one of your first episodes where you talked about Physiological Sigh, realizing how much breathing well or the lack of it can affect our lives...in regulating stress and so on, And realized that I always had to breathe through my mouth because my nose was halfway blocked, but lived my life like that anyways because- well, how do you know how normal people breathe?
Thanks for opening my eyes on the matter, getting me to seek treatment, making me relearn breathing the way it should be done, making me say SO THIS IS HOW THEY BREATHE and moreover, inspiring me to decide to study our nervous system.
Every episode there is a piece of knowledge I wanna pass on to the people I love
good
Simply cannot get enough of the podcast. A great privilege to be given the opportunity to listen and learn from Dr. Feldman. I appreciate your Science for all & that you seem to unpack or wheel back at exactly the point in any conversation, where I feel lost or would like a deeper dive! Brilliant. Thank For sharing Dr. Sinclair with us also. Enjoying his 7 episode PC on Longevity. You are truly a Scientist for the Sciences (no ego / disdain for competition versus collaboration).Appreciated and Applauded.
Hey Andrew, first off, thank you for the incredible job you do with these podcasts. I do have one suggestion that I believe could help myself and many others which is to briefly include on-screen lists to briefly summarize when you mention multiple points especially in the solo podcasts. I find that seeing things in a list especially the tools you provide can make it very easy to remember them and revisit the podcast when I need a refresher. Thank you again!
Fantastic Feedback/Proposal! I completely agree.
Isn't this available with the chapters?

Please do have him back. This man is a fountain of knowledge useful to all of us.
halfway throught but i cannot resist commenting... that costello print in the frame.. i love it so much
To me the so called Air Hunger Drill is a jack of all trades. Complete exhalation, breath hold, followed by some isometric or medium bodyweight exercise like push up, squats, inhale if the urge is too strong then catch your breath and calm it down as fast as possible. To me, this exercise combines the best of the best. The full exhalation encourages you to inhale with the full range of motion of the diaphragm, so it Re establishes diaphragmatic breathing. The breath hold and exercise raises the co2 levels and buteyko has shown the benefits of this clearly. The catching of your breath after the exercise really trains you to catch your breath and calm it down, much more efficiently than any counting or box breathing does. It really spikes energy levels in zero time. Something inbetween a small wim hof round and buteyko exercise. Genius.
This sounds very interesting .
Never heard of this .
Going to give it a shot. Im already thinkng its going to help just from the sound of it. I had a freak 'accident' that altered my breath in a negative manner. For years Ive been SLOW LY learning ways to get it back to normal. The lungs also weakened. To much to describe but your comment is inspiring, thanks 👍😊
@@bellezavudd hey, sorry to hear that, I wish you the best of improvement. It might be a little aggressive to begin with this exercise. I've learned a lot from German breathing physical therapy, especially during times of long covid clients. To begin I would suggest to practice proper positioning in order to assist the respiration muscles and reduce the weight your diaphragm has to do to love the ribcage. In German we call this the "kutschersitz", a variation of the tripod position. The PRI institute as well as Eric Goodman's foundational Training provide good instructions on proper positioning to encourage optimal ribcage expansion during inhalation. Nonetheless, I found that a combination of the following would provide a very successful entrance in "proper" respiration:
1. Get into some form of tripod position where your arms are supporting your ribcage
2. Exhale all the air out of your lungs in a sighing manner
3. Do the "double inhale" as in Hubermans physiological sigh to inflate all the avioli
4. Exhale as slowly as you possibly can, if so though the nose (feather breathing), if not through pursed lips, even up until the point of slight panicking on which you repeat the process.
I wish you the best of success and hope I could provide a little bit of help. 🙏
Hi Dr. Huberman, could you please discuss about inflammation and its impact on the brain/cognition/behavior? Again, myself and my family greatly appreciate your wonderful job!
Your exceptionally valuable efforts have been making tremendous positive changes in our lives! Thank you very much!!!

Thank you for your contribution to make this world a little more understandable for all. Could you please do a podcast about tinnitus?
the first time we do after we are born and the last thing we will do is breathe...thanks for making knowledge on such a topic important
When going thru labor birthing pains aka contractions, having a steady focused breathing pattern really helps with the birthing process.
Ok
I could attest to that
I don’t want to be horrible, but who doesn’t know this?
Can this be applied to pooping ?
USING BREATHING WORK HELPED MY PATIENTS TO HAVE NATURAL DELIVERIES WITHOUT DRIPS,MEDICATIONS FOR LABOUR PAIN.
Sitting at your feet while you have these incredible conversations has become a highlight of my weeks. I love that I have to stop periodically and let it sink in, so it takes me a couple days to get through. This particular conversation was refreshingly deep in detail. Many of us live for the details. 😁 Thank you both for expanding our understanding of breathing. It’s also fun to see the genuine respect and affection you share with your scientific peers, Andrew.
Last week’s podcast on habits had me running the 21 day experiment. Daily time doing some breath work was one of the six I chose to attempt. It made me giggle to see the title for this week. 😄 I’ve been spontaneously choosing the technique of the day, and is been so much fun I can see this one becoming a daily habit by day 21. Thanks, both of you, for helping me improve my life. 🤗💜 We look forward to Part 2.
Thank you so much for the valuable, practical life changing advice.
I recently went to hospital for a relative 'intimidating' prostate procedure for which I had to 'take someting' to reduce my or rather the extreme anxiety.
I decided upon your physiological sighs - various combinations based on the unpredictable triggers from the mind.
Amazing - the sense of self control I got from it.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jack and Andrew. Just this basic description of how breath works - the diaphragm goes down - has had me breathing through this talk far more efficiently than I ordinarily would, with the increase in calm and visual clarity you might expect from that. I've read two books on breath, including James Nestor's, at your recommendation, Andrew, and have benefited, but somehow this simple explanation of the mechanism has passed me by up to now, or I've simply never encountered it. I'd heard of belly breathing, but I didn't get it from that and it didn't help.
It seems my breathing's been somewhat dysfunctional and it seems from the fact that there's so much breath advice out there, that I'm not alone in that. Why is that? It's weird. You'd think it would happen perfectly without us having to think about it, as I imagine it does for most animals. The fact that it doesn't for many of us seems like a synecdoche of how humanity is screwed up.
A little more on the above that I've found helpful in the few days since watching this: I've lately watched some videos on 'postural restoration,' which talks a lot about the asymmetry of the body and, in particular, how we really have two diaphragms and the one on the left is higher. I have been focusing on breathing with this one, which seems, when I really pay attention, to mostly be immobilised by tension. Being able to work on this, I've significantly relieved a painful constriction, which feels like being twisted out of shape, in my abdomen and shoulders that has troubled me for years.
Thank you Dr. Huberman ! Your podcast is Extremely important brother. You make the medical information clear & very easy to absorb. Your way of speaking & how you convey the information is Clear & easily digested by average people. I've been immensely enlightened about my mind, body, & gut through listening your Awesome podcast dr. Huberman. BTW, Your voice is really nice to listen to & is very calming. Thanks again. Peace & much Love to you brother
I love this podcast. Breathing techniques have always been of interest to me due to a long history of allergy & asthma has now run last couple of years being into regular meditation. P.s.I love that you asked Dr. Feldman about supplementation. I take Mg threonate daily. I started taking 3 years ago due to starting keto. It's the only magnesium that doesn't cause me digestive stress & it greatly helps with reducing muscles cramps I was getting in my extremities during weight training for bodybuilding competition & it has helped my sleep quality greatly after going into full menopause! Mg- threonate has been a little miracle for me to sustain function both cognitively & physically!
What dosage do you take?
@@stephaniemeeker5977 I've been taking magnesium threonate from "Vitacost," their brand. 3 Caps is = 2010 mg of magnesium threonate, but this converts to 144 mg total of magnesium. I usually have 1 cap 3 times a day. If having trouble sleeping, I have increased my night dose to 2 Caps.
Thank you for your podcasts and efforts. Society appreciates what you are doing.
Thanks to yourself, Jack and everyone involved in producing these as always !
Dat Costello picture is adorable. Thank you for your work Andrew, you are really making the world a better place!
Such a goal to be introduced as “not only is he at the top of his field; he founded the field”
It's happening just as I said it would...the healing phase of being "scared to death" is pneumonia, aka "flu". So as people are released from the solitary confinement of their homes (because of media and government lies based on the fraudulent Germ Theory), and people begin to get happy and feel less stressed, the result will be the healing phase....of pneumonia, flu, colds, general sickness. You can also see the light sensitivity, appendicitis in some, numerous tooth problems and gum swelling, laryngitis, etc. The fear campaign has caused ALL the illnesses, not a Boogey Virus.
Every disease is based on the Germ Theory, which was the theory of ONE man over 100 years ago. It was never proven to be 100% valid, and has not even been QUESTIONED again. Why? In order for a theory to be valid, it must be reproduceable in each and every person 100% of the time. Every single person exposed to a "virus" MUST get sick from it 100% of the time, over and over again. It's how you PROVE a theory is valid. This was never done. Scientists used to think witches and witchcraft were valid!! Educated people?? hahaha!! If you cannot "catch" cancer, arthritis or diabetes from another person, then you cannot "catch" a cold or flu. There is no such thing that only SOME diseases are communicable, but not all. It's either all or none of them...they are all based on the same Germ Theory. If you can't “catch" someone's lung cancer, you can't "catch" their colds or flu. Upsetting and distressing events in a person's life is what causes ALL cancer and cancer-equivalent disease, cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. A massive fear campaign will CAUSE people to be "worried sick", but sickness doesn't happen until people resolve their fears. Why do you think kids get sick in October? Because their fear of going back to school and being upset about it finally dissolves, and they get back into their routines. What the media and government is doing to people is criminal.
So of course, when everyone is allowed to escape the hostage situation the governments have put their people into, and they start relaxing about the "scary virus" that's not in any way transmissible, they will begin their healing phase (get sick), and the corrupt governments will call it a different “scary” word, a different Boogey Man coming to get you.....repeat the same mistakes that never worked from the beginning, re-institute the same restrictions that only made people more traumatized, and more panic will ensue as well as martial law, a removal of all your rights, and you let it happen. The longer people allow this government to hold them hostage in their homes, the more severe the "sickness" will be. Western Medicine is pure fraud, and people's lives are destroyed because of it. Welcome to the United States of China.
Out standing in his own field
@@AgendaInMind powerful, can you link some references to back up your claims?
He discovered the breathing.....the stupid yogis didn't know anything until "professor Feldman " explain to them.......🥳🥳🥳
@@nosferatu2242 The Yogis never left written ecords of what they did and why. They just passed on their secrets to another Brahmin by word of mouth - sort of "Brahmin Whispers". Compare that with the attitude of Messrs. Huberman and Feldman who give what they know freely to the world. That may give a hint why there is no comparison....if you care to think about it!
Breathe consciousness changed my life to the deepest. Physically and emotionally.
Also, Patrick McKeown would had some essential knowledge to complete this great interview. Oxygen Advantage with Boutenko roots have those informations that no one got.
Also among other yogi books, Iyengar book Light on Pranayama has immense insights.
I hope to hear more from breathing interviews from you Andrew. The world need to know more about this master tool that is so simple but is so complex too.
The army use it, great yogis master it, Buddhist focus on it. They for sure have serious reasons for that.
And most of us... suffer from bad breathing patterns days and night, that we are mostly unaware of, but have terrible consequences on our body and mind.
Breathing deep isn't enough. The anatomy and physiology of breathing should be a specific subject in education from children to elders to really transform life experience.
I’m SO excited that you are bringing this and other important topics to the mainstream. Thank you for your work.
wow, Dr. Jack Feldman is a great guy! I love his honesty, naturalness and cheekiness! your work is well appreciated!
This is the scientist who re-discovered the physiological sigh 👏.
Just came back to United State, from Colombia but while in there I didn’t missed any of your Podcasts thanks, they are amazing and everything and everyone you present or invite are incredible!!! Thanks 😊 for getting so much knowledge to us “Mind Curious”
THANK YOU for a beautiful and enlightening conversation with Dr. Feldman Andrew! And I totally agree on your 2022 trend predictions. If I could also add Quercetin supplementation and diet diversity (for our gut microbes!) to the mix🙏💜🤗
Love seeing the enthusiasm in your eyes as you talk about the various subjects. So informative and accessable for laymen.
And laywoman you sexist pos 🤣
Great discussion, long await by me. Lots of info!! I’ll need to listen again with pen and paper, as it was tricky to glean protocols.
I’ve been following Buteyko Breathing for 12 years and was surprised not to hear any reference to it. Maybe it’s because he’s a Russian. Especially interesting there is the references to the Bohr effect in the regulation of oxygen/carbon dioxide levels.
Thanks as always !
This guest was very entertaining. The way he tells story is captivating. I wish he would conclude his thoughts though. There were many threads that didn't conclude and we are left hanging to as what the conclusion was formed from these experiments. Hoping for a return!
The photo of Costello at the mic is pretty cool. ❤️
Thank you, Andrew, and thank Jack, too of course, for this phenomenal talk.
You bring a lot of value to so many people, it is astonishing.
Can you do me a favor and do an episode on migraines? My sister and mother suffer severely from it and nothing seems to really help. I would be so grateful if you could explain the science and tools for keeping migraines at bay. Thank you, Andrew
Since you’re a professor, I think it would be really interesting to make a podcast where you give advice to students about: how to study the most efficiently, sleep, exercise, focus, diet/ supplementation, perhaps even mental health, etc. Yes it’s going to overlap with many other podcasts, but that’s what’s going to make it even more interesting.
He’s done that. Have you researched all the topics in Huberman Labs?
@@llmaaz3140 thx, I’ll try to find it
@@corentinheuchamps1193 also sign up for the Neural Network newsletter! There he describes what you're asking in a super protocol as he calls it I think
Also his speech at Logitech is about optimal learning.
@@corentinheuchamps1193 in fact i would advice u listen to every episode starting from the begining..... i promise u wont regret it.
As an X Respiratory Therapist I found your conversation with Dr. Feldman fun and educational. Nice job as usual. Best. Mehran from San Diego
Dr. Huberman, thank you so much for all that you do. Please do an episode on bipolar/mania, if you can!
One of the toughest @ hubermanlab podcast to follow
💯 agree. This one was ROUGH. I got nothing out of it besides he doesnt believe breathwork does much. Kind of shocking. Need to look at what other experts think
I would love to know Dr. Huberman's thoughts on HeartMath and heart-brain coherence and the effect of heart-brain coherence on health and wellness.
Great! Thank you and Dr Feldman for bringing up the importance of studying the “breathing methods practice” for health!
Thanks a lot Dr. Feldman. This was eye-opening and entertaining at the same time. I do appreciate your sincerity and specifity when it comes to facts vs speculations as a real scientist should do.
Please honor us with more appearances 🙏
Brilliant scients! Professor Hubemann and Dr. Feldman briging true science to us all. I love all the episodes!
What an incredible episode with two of our favorite neurobiologist! Honored to be a part of this breath movement.
Yes! Making breath practice accessible to the world!
Absolutely amazing conversation, up to tears sometime.
Thank you so much for opportunity to listen from Pioneers at their fields and be a witness of such deep calm yet active dialogue
🙏
I like the chemistry between you guys, great conversation! Also, feeling very excited to see Jack levitate soon:)
'Breath is the gross manifestation of the very subtle mind. By awareness of the breath, one quiets the mind, which is then able to turn its attention inwards, to the source of awareness itself, and thus realize its true nature, the source of eternal absolute Being.' - Sri Ramana Maharishi of Arunachala.
The most fascinating aspect is BUDDHA figured the importance of breathing and introduced such great medication techniques. Now science is supporting that and giving us more reasons to adopt these techniques. Thank you, Dr. Huberman for enlightening us.
As to martial artists exhaling on a strike, in Taiji Quan they teach a technique called "Tiger Breathing". The Chinese word for tiger is pronounced "Hu". If you make that sound very forcefully, you will feel you abdominal muscles contract as you exhale, thus providing the stable base for the ribs and the core that Jack speaks of. This is why Asian martial arts famously make noises when they strike. "Hi-ya" is really pronounced "Hu". And you definitely want to exhale on the strike, so as to relax the body for more power. You then tense the fist at the last second. This is developed over years of striking bags.
I would love a segment on altitude and the general effects (long-term and short-term) of living and/or training at altitude. I’ve lived most of my adult life at altitude (5K-9K) and there are some really special differences (many not related to athleticism) as compared to sea level/intermediate. That’s my wish, Dr. H. Thanks ever so much for all you do:)
Jack is both brilliant and insanely likable. Great conversation.
I believe the breathing before death he is talking about is called: Cheyenne-stokes breathing. I remember assessing this type of breathing during my internship in nursing school on elderly patients that where at end stages of life aka hospice care. Its a breathing pattern that's very unique
GHYNE STOKE BREATHING ALSO IN NEW BORN AS THEIR LUNGS ARE STILL STICKY.TILL NOW REMEMBERED HOW MY BREATHING WAS MIRROR TO MY SON BREATHING WATCHING HIM IN CRADLE.
