Why did Huberman endorse Susanna Søberg's bad science?

  • About a year ago Andrew Huberman introduced a Danish biologist to the world, naming her the most important expert on brown fat and cold exposure in the halls of medicine. She had written only two papers on the topic, and only one in a reputable journal, but Susanna Søberg quickly became a household name to ice bathers all over the world who were looking for scientific backing for their icy dips. I was pretty excited by the credibility that Søberg brought to the table, but when I started actually looking at her famous paper in Cell Reports Medicine, things stopped adding up. Her claims about the underlying mechanisms of how brown fat burns calories were so far off the scientific consensus that it was jaw dropping. Throughout her paper she repeats time and time again that her instrumentation is not on par with the gold standard, and that her results should "be taken with caution." She kicked off a cold water swimmer from her study when he didn't produce enough heat, and worried it would throw off her results, and in the conclusion of her paper she straight up admits "we cannot conclude whether winter swimming per se results in increased cold-induced thermogenesis." All of this to say, after reading her article, I really had to wonder how it got published in the first place.
    But that's not even where the problems stopped. Shortly after her appearance on The Huberman Lab came out Søberg left the scientific world altogether and started an online training course where she sells her video certifications in cold water swimming for $2500 a pop. This is the very definition of a conflict of interest. How are we supposed to believe in scientific results when the scientists directly profit from a positive signal?
    The article in Cell Reports was hardly the only case of Søberg conducing bad science. Recently a comment on the crowdsourced science watchdog PubPeer noted that another study of hers--this one on binge drinking and liver enzymes--had nonsensical data. Somehow a graph that was supposed to have 8 data correlations only had 7. It didn't make and sense.
    All of this to say, while Søberg might be a great person to encourage people to jump into ice water, her scientific claims aren't based on the science she purports them to be.

    I swim in winter, I'm 60, for 20 minutes. Best thing ever. Everyone should try it. Minus 5 C is pretty much the best time to go. Under ice is real cool. Caution: don't exceed 30 sec under the ice. After 20 more minutes drying in the wind brutal shot down of circulation from feet and hands, sudden and almost total loss of control but can be forced to walk home and hold clothes with arms. Must get to above 0 C in the minutes following this, movement is necessary to give heat to body to distribute to vital organs.... 15 C is enough to be safe. I usually pass the first 5 minutes getting the wood to burn in my stove, then the heat takes over. 2 hours of bliss follows. Never ever got any problem with this procedure of mine, done over 30 times. BUT: I gained 10 pounds of fat that year and started to get fat since. My body reacted by making me a fat suit. I tough I would burn brown fat, but it's the opposite. Or something else got into the process... maybe invisible penguins abducted me or something...lol

      Really interesting. Would you be open to having a 15 min interview with me some time? Following up on what other commenters said, it does seem that cold might actually make a person larger as the body opts to insulate instead of ramp up energy expenditure. I agree that there are benefits to cold exposure. I just don't like the abuse of science that Soberg and Huberman make to get there.

      This seems like a pretty extreme protocol. Have you historically tracked your waking body temps? My guess would be that the extreme cold exposure drove down your metabolism. This happened to me due to cryotherapy. I don’t have science to back this up just personal experience but would be an interesting test to stop this practice, measure waking body temps before and after stopping cold exposure and see if they rise when you stop.

My body remembers the cold though, and in winter I can get outside undressed and it takes about 6 seconds to acclimate to any temperature, instead of minutes. At night it's about 50F in the bathroom and I don't bother covering myself up. It is really surprisingly fast. I am struggling to stay under 200 pounds.

    Thank you so much for this Scott Carney. There is so much endless BS that gets published it boggles the mind. It isn't hard to see it historically either. All sorts of horror stories have come from bad science being treated with credence: thalidomide, DES, lobotomies, and on and on and on. My point here is that few people with no skin in the game EVER take a hard look at peer review and question it. But peer review is rooted largely in collaborators with whom the authors all have a vested interest in not burning bridges. Then there is dirty funding (pharma companies, for ex), academic momentum of scientists who are more deeply invested publicly, and emotionally in their own research, who will never change their minds. Seriously, this woman had a sample size of less than 20? it is absurd that anyone should take this research without a bigly dollop of skepticism, especially since her results skew so far from prior research. There is gobtons of BS out there (bad science). I have seen all of this first hand. Not to mention legions of historical examples.

      100%. And it's strange because I love my cold water swimming and breathwork, but I don't think we need to make bogus scientific claims about causation to explain why I do it. There are so many pseudoscientific grifters out there who want to tell you they are THE experts on something even though they don't have anything real to back it up. I'm happy soberg enjoys swimming in cold water. Can we leave it at that and stop charging lots of money to tell people to do it?

    The paradox of all of this "cold burns fat" discussion is there's a very reasonable argument to be made the other way. Bergmann's Rule (1847) is not accepted by everyone, but I'd argue it's a much more solid theory than more cold = less weight. Wherever you live, just drive north toward the cold and report back how many rail thin people you find. Not many. And yes, you might increase BAT and gain weight simultaneously. Both things can be possible. 11 min walk would outperform any cold plunge every day.

    • @sgcarney
      @sgcarney  3 месяца назад +3

      Yes! I should do a video on this. The body can protect from the cold in two ways: 1) ramp up heat production through various metabolic and physical processes and 2) insulation. In almost all cases of animals that live in high latitudes they opt for insulation over energy expenditure. It also probably LOWERS your metabolic rate over time. Look at Wim Hof as a prime example. He has gained a LOT of weight in the last few years despite frequent cold exposure.

But he sells it as "Huberman Lab," and starts each episode by claiming he wants to make science available to as many people as possible. And that is plain lying at this point. There's plenty of good podcasts actually bringing science to "the people" and none of them sell mindset "hacks" to get more subscribers.

      I could well have read the script wrong--but the text on screen was correct. Otto Muzik's paper estimated 20kcal/24 hours and Soberg estimated 500-1000. But YES there is an effect from ice baths. My cankers did go away when I started doing these things. But I'm not making strong causal claims.

    Interesting enough, science is never settled. I believe real scientists know this however claim the fame rapidly.
    Regardless of how much data one claims to have. There are so many variables that can alter the outcomes of data.

      This is actually an important question, thanks for asking. I believe cold water exposure and sauna and breath work are beneficial for many reasons (I have 2 books on them). However, Soberg saying that she has a science-based approach is laughable and is simply a marketing ploy to get you to sign up for her $2500 course when you could have, I don't know, just gone out and taken a swim in cold water or jumped in a sauna. The grift is in how she presents herself.

    6% difference in body fat is not significant.
    I wonder what personal conflicts of interest exist between yourself and Huberman (and indirectly with Soberg), Scott. Are you on a personal vendetta against Huberman perhaps?
    Huberman didn’t return your emails, invited you on vacation and then cancelled, and then yelled at you a little too loud?
    You didn’t like that and now you’re trying to get back at him by attempting to discredit and disprove information that made him popular.
    That hit piece you contributed to was cowardly. Its a shame you’re attempting achieve vengeance, in the process of which a man who contributes good to the world is slandered.

      I believe I misspoke in the video. It was a 6% difference in total body fat-not a 6% difference between individuals. The numbers are on screen. There’s a big body composition change when you are 21% body fat and 16%.

      Making money off the downfall of a good person is quite unethical last I checked. Especially when one is motivated not because the other is wrong, but because they dislike the other person. Allowing a personal vendetta to take priority over the objective truth is disgraceful to your line of work.

But even still it’s not a massive difference, just more noticeable then 16% compared to 21%.

      I like that she admitted she was cherry-picking with the data and warned people to be skeptical of the results. A lot of the papers that Huberman is most enthusiastic about, the authors say that the results were not statistically significant or were inconclusive. If you are a scientist and suddenly people are paying attention to your work and offering you money to fund research, imo it's not unethical to accept that even if you know the reseach hasnt shown what they are excited about... But it is unethical to start making unfounded claims, even outside of the studies, and it seems like she started doing that 😢
