- Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast. I am Dr. Andrew Huberman.
My plan in creating this podcast is to discuss neuroscience: how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body controls our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. I will also discuss tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works.
Upcoming episodes will cover: sleep and how to get better at sleeping, learning, dreaming, as well as motivation and focus and how to access more focus. We will also cover neuroplasticity, fear, and stress.
Along the way, I will discuss behavioral tools ("do's and don'ts"), and the role of nutrition, exercise, supplements, prescription drugs and electronic devices for measuring and changing the way our nervous systems work.
To suggest additional topics, please enter them in the comment section below. Also, be sure to "like" any comments suggesting topics you're interested in. I will shape the content of future podcasts accordingly.
Thank you for your interest in science!

ASMR
MDMA for curing depression and enhancing self-discovery
Dementia and ophthalmology
1:What is the science behind dyslexia?
2:What is the science behind ADHD?
.
Also Discuss dyslexia and ADHD from a neuroscience perspective, what neuroscience say about it.
.
And how to overcome dyslexia and ADHD?
What to do to stay focused and how to develop that 'sense of urgency' while studying to produce acetylcholine.
Suggested topics:
1. Learning and plasticity - specifically, tools to improve them
2. Focus and deep work - specifically, tools to improve them
I'll just add here that id love to learn about the possibility to help children with dyslexia with what we know now about neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity
Plasticity and TBI recovery.
Plasticity tools and applications for sure. It’s foundational.
enhancing studying through triggering offline replay by creating a specific environment. So for example while studying I could smell a specific odour and making sure that I also smell that while sleeping so that this memory gets triggered.
Suggestion: Neurosience of habits and addictions. Especially with focus on dopamine, beyond basic "dopamine = reward" understanding.
(More specifically: what is the mechanism behind dopamine being released when we encounter an unexpected reward, but also being a motivator for reaching that thing later on again eg. food - it seems to be a molecule that initiates habit loop, but also the one that drives it. And how does this motivation mechanism work on a molecular level - what pathway is involved in creating it, and how does that "itch that needs to be scratched" effect that drives us to do things we don't even want to do, like smoking, work).
Yessss i was ginna mention it but ur comment really sets it in stone. Deffo want to learn more! I did watch his 2 hour talk about the brain, and one thing to know is its the process that is what feels rewarding the most so really take that in and just go with it no matter what!
In adition to that I would like to know if high dopamine levels during all the day could also be harmful for your self, If so how to stay in a healthy balance.
Thank you!!!
Interesting, and for us with adhd ( with dopamine issues) it's more complicated. I'd like to know how this works better.
Mesolimbic DA pathway is the key pathway which is involved in learning and reinforcement, especially nucleus accumbens which plays important role in behaviour related to addiction.For example smoking has higher potential for addiction due to its rapid onset and short half life, due to it each puff is reinforced immediately and there are so many puffs in a cigarette.
A deeply deep dive on dopamine would be so welcome! Esp in light of LFB's comments on dopamine/serotonin on Insta, I can't help feeling these were crucial insights, I was left impressed with this knowledge anyway! Is there more context to be found about the relevance of dopamine as a metabolic regulator and significance to how we commonly approach our understanding or apply our understandings around dopamine? Just layman/lady musings...hope this isn't silly.
ADHD
Hypnosis
EMDR
Wim Hof Method
Loneliness and its effects on the brain
Childhood Trauma and its effects on the adult brain
EMDR!!!!!!!
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
Topics I'd suggest:
- Meditation and Breathing. Tons of stuff out there, but I'm sure your clarity and competence would help have a clear and comprehensive picture, once and ever, or at least until we found new stuff about that! ;)
- Addiction
- Motivation and Focus
Thanks for everything you're doing!

THE NEUROSCIENCE OF BREATHING- and specific techniques that stimulate certain states of mind - focus, relaxation, increased energy etc. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS ANDREW!!! You are so very generous.
Yes, a deep dive would be super. I'm pleased it's going to be 'deep', not shallow. Yay!!!
I would love that and like to add what we can do with our breathing to positively influence those around us, including animals.
I would really appreciate including the effect of asthma and neuroscience when speaking about breathing.
YES! to breathing in regards to neuroscience and it’s effects on the autonomic nervous system
Yes this is good. I've found out that I stop breathing, not in my sleep, but in my wake! Constantly. I don't know how or why if happens, I just stop breathing. I also don't breath deeply, so much so that I have very low blood pressure and am always weak. I wanna know the science of breath to control my body!
Suggested topic: childhood traumas or incorrect perceptions of ourselves based on what our parents had shown us and the best tools to rewire our brain to work through it as an adult. This topic might be broad due to various childhood experiences, but I am more curious about how to change the brain and perceptions of ourselves that was embedded in childhood. Thank you very much for this feedback section and for being open to our suggestions here!
I would like to make an expansion to the above: Specifically for those of us that have high ACE scores and now, have been diagnosed with chronic disease. Does a focus on healing the ANS benefit and if so what techniques are most beneficial?
Oh yes please! ACE scores provide great insight, but I'd like to dig deeper.
Just a thought....

...”An adult child’s brain is like a Ferrari going 90mph with the brakes on.”
The antidotal stories are compelling to comforting.
For educational purposes only, below gives one a quick overview on “traits.”
I’ve been a very small part of the recovery community since November 1989.
The biggest challenge in this particular twelve step program, there just are not enough sponsors who have the knowledge, time in practicing these principles, exercises, and meetings globally are few.
This book has “how to start a meeting” (suggested locations & why).
Triggering had been my biggest obstacle as a meeting organizer.
The adult children meetings are very much different then the typical 12 Step Program for reasons all mentioned in the educational section “how to start a meeting.”
I selected local hospitals, for reasons mentioned in the text. Safety being my biggest concern.
This is nothing lightly to take on. It can get out of control very fast.
All the best out there people in 2021.
And thank you Andrew for your professionalism, knowledge, on your vast wisdom.
Laundry List (14 Traits of an Adult Child)
These are characteristics we seem to have in common due to being brought up in an alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional household.
* 1) We became isolated and afraid of people and authority figures.
* 2) We became approval seekers and lost our identity in the process.
* 3) We are frightened by angry people and any personal criticism.
* 4) We either become alcoholics, marry them or both, or find another compulsive personality such as a workaholic to full-fill our sick abandonment needs.
* 5) We live life from the viewpoint of victims and are attracted by that weakness in our love and friendship relationships.
* 6) We have an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, and it is easier for us to be concerned with others rather than ourselves; this enables us not to look too closely at our own faults, etc.
* 7) We get guilt feelings when we stand up for ourselves instead of giving in to others.
* 8) (((((We became addicted to excitement. ))))))
* 9) We confuse love and pity and tend to “love” people we can “pity” and “rescue.”
* 10) We have “studied” our feelings from our traumatic childhoods and have lost the ability to feel or express our feelings because it hurts so much (Denial).
* 11) We judge ourselves harshly and have a very low sense of self-esteem.
* 12) We are dependent personalities who are terrified of abandonment and will do anything to hold on to a relationship in order not to experience painful abandonment feelings, which we received from living with sick people who were never there emotionally for us.
* 13) Alcoholism is a family disease; we became para-alcoholics and took on the characteristics of that disease even though we did not pick up the drink.
* 14) Para-alcoholics are reactors rather than actors.
“The Workplace Laundry List”
- this is an excerpt from pages 417-19
1 We confuse our boss or supervisor with our
alcoholic parent(s) or qualifier and have similar relationship patterns, behaviors, and reactions that are carry-overs from childhood.
2 We confuse our co-workers with our siblings or our alcoholic parent(s) and repeat childhood reactions in those working relationships.
3 We expect lavish praise and acknowledgment from our boss for our efforts on the job.
4 Authority figures scare us and we feel afraid when we need to talk to them.
5 We get a negative “gut reaction” when dealing with someone who has the physical characteristics or mannerisms of our alcoholic qualifier.
6 We have felt isolated and different from everyone around us, but we don’t really know why.
7 We lose our temper when things upset us rather than dealing with problems productively.
8 We busy ourselves with our co-workers’ jobs, often telling them how to do their work.
9 We can get hurt feelings when co-workers do things socially together without asking us, even though we have not made an effort to get to know them and join in the social life.
10 We are afraid to make the first move to get to know a co-worker better, thinking they will not like us or approve of us.
11 We usually do not know how to ask for what we want or need on the job, even for little things.
12 We do not know how to speak up for ourselves when someone has said or done something inappropriate. We try desperately to avoid face-to-face confrontations.
13 We are sensitive and can get extremely upset with any form of criticism of our work.
14 We want to be in charge of every project or activity, feeling more comfortable when we are in control of every detail, rather than letting others be responsible.
15 We may be the workplace “clown” to cover up our insecurities or to get attention from others.
16 We are people-pleasers and may take on extra work, or our co-workers’ tasks, in order to be liked and receive approval from others.
17 We do not know how to be assertive in getting our needs met or expressing a concern. We may have to repeatedly rehearse our comments before delivering them.
18 We have felt that we do not deserve a raise, promotion, better workspace, or a better job.
19 We do not know how to set boundaries, and we let others interrupt us. We can accept more work without knowing how to say ‘no’ appropriately.
20 We are perfectionists about our own work and expect others to be the same and have the same work ethics and values.
21 We become workaholics because it gives us a feeling of self-worth we did not get as a child.
22 We may jump from job to job, looking for the perfect position as the substitute for the secure and nurturing home environment we did not have.
23 We get upset when people do things that affect us or our work without asking us first.
24 We have a high tolerance for workplace dysfunction and tend to stick it out in an unhappy job because we lack the self-esteem to leave.
yes in that topic I have experience since Childhood till adult:
Childhood trauma or wrong perceptions through abortion memories, to be a chimera with my twinbrother, and possibly adopted old thoughts-behavior patterns through this, based on what our divorce parents / grandparents once tell us lie and showed us through.
Nearby I lead the soulpiece with the QHHT in 2019, out my system. But the Topic is for a lot of people from interesting.
Because I get help about the knowlegde about the right and left brain.
What tools to make better use of our brain to change our RNA / DNA today as adults. Thank you for this feedback area and for being open to our suggestions!
Please! This one!
How men’s and women’s brains differ. And how a women’s brain changes through her cycle. Difference between circadian and infradian rhythms. Thank you for the amazing podcast!

How to heal the nervous system from lifelong addictions while simultaneously learning how to cope without them. You do a damn good job of this already. Just thought I'd reinforce what you're already doing. Thank you for your service to mankind.
Neuroscience of addiction. The changes that happen in the brain due to addiction, and what can be done to reverse those changes. Methods of promoting brain plasticity to revert to the non addicted state..
Hi Andrew, Thank you for your generosity. I want to know how to quit my sugar addiction. With tobacco, for example, one can completely eliminate it and never have it in the body again. But with sugar, because it is in so many things, what effect does having small doses, like in tomato sauce, bread etc have on the ability avoid sugar cravings.
Yeah, this.
The neuroscience of addiction and sobriety after addiction. I've been prescribed Adderall for nearly 10 years but I'll often go through phases where I'll use it for a few years, not touch the stuff for a few years, repeat. It's always such a slippery slope using that stuff again because life really doesn't have that same SPARK or POP to it for a long while after discontinuing use.
I wonder how messed up my brain is long term?
Thanks
Yes, brain changes of addiction (opioid given that epidemic) over decades, sugar addiction, analysis of med assistants like Suboxone. Love the podcast, thank you so much for sharing.
Suggested topics:
- Ways to stop/revert dementia
- Food for better brain activity
- Science behind negative thoughts
I recommend looking at teamsherzai.com regarding dementia. They’ve specialized in the field and have a lot of interesting material (especially regarding diet/lifestyle factors that contribute to dementia).
I suggest to keep learning to prevent dementia, also heard it’s actually good to keep interacting with people, as like, don’t retire.
Fantastic topics!
@Samantha - Team Sherazai pricing is quite high for sharing their information @ nearly $500 (well...$497 for their individualized learning pkg. Hopefully, one can borrow their book from the library, or buy @ Amz to try to glean the information they have gathered for preventing alzheimers. I kind of doubt it's much different from the information brain scientists are already sharing for free...

This is the kind of information that children need to be learning in school. I'm 38 and just now learning how things actually work.
Would really love to learn more about the growing brains (children) and how as a parent I can help my children develop and use their brains at its the fullest capacity.
YES!
Apart what YOU can do, think that the environment is the place that shapes us, so you have to create the right place and frame.
If I was not right, how would you explain the differences between each generations?
It is also like how can you help children walk better? Get out of the city with their smooth surfaces and you don't have to think about it any more! You develop the brain when you develop the body. Our intellectual part is not supposed to be in charge for what the rest of the nervous system is the master for.
Read often to your children & let them see you & other adults enjoy reading
Also how and/or if this changes as we age.
It’s often said that patterns learned/reinforced during early childhood development are hard-wired into our subconscious. To what extent does science understand/confirm that notion? If traumatic experiences led to unhealthy patterns we may not even be aware of, what tools can we use to break free of patterns that no longer serve us?
Yes please!
Yes!!!!
Yes!!! EMDR is one way, but what are others??
Piggy backing on this: personality, attachment theory and the coping (unconscious) behaviours we develop. Robert Sapolsky comes to mind as a fantastic conversational guest!
yesssss!!! Would love to learn about this.
You once mentioned on a podcast how states of deep rest including non-sleep deep rest like Yoga Nidra and hypnosis essentially allow one to simultaneously take in new information and transfer it to memory while the brain is in a state of plasticity, rather than how we normally learn during waking states and transfer the important things to long term memory during sleep. Would love to hear about any research your lab has been doing on the benefits of non-sleep deep rest. You drop little hints during other podcasts sometimes that are so interesting, can't wait to learn more.
Yes!!!!!!!
Another up vote.
Well done Kevin great question i agree would also like to know take care
I would absolutely love to learn more about this, so I thought I'd "vote twice" by commenting. (I'm from Chicago, where we supposedly "vote often.") Thanks!
@@deannachrones8660 great, hopefully others will!
Thank you for the great content!
Topic suggestions:
-Gender Neuroscience: Does the brain function differently in men and women? How?

Topics:
-Drugs, psychedelics and brain
-Speed reading and learning
-Sleep
Epigenetics, Healing emotional trauma, more about the Nervous System.
Yes please
Yes, this please.
Yes please!!!
Yes!
emotional trauma esp.
I suggest discussing the topics self-motivation (what can we do to enhance our cognitive processes to become more self motivated... i.e. ditching social media habits, less entertainment, more exercise, etc.) and positivity/gratitude (how can we engage in proper reflection? Who should we express gratitude for? How does gratitude benefit others?)
Great topic! How does Dr Huberman feel about the "Digital Minimalism" approach, as explored by Cal Newport in his namesake's book? BTW, I have taken Twitter and FB off my cell-phone, so just using the web-based on my laptop, but no more "doom-scrolling" for me. Oh and sleep...
The beginning of one of the best channels I have ever stumbled upon ❤
Omg I love you. I found you on Lewis Howes podcast and am so grateful. You are way too genuine and humble for your intelligence. How do you exist?!
Sleep, motivation/winning at life, and nutrition would probably be my top requests.
Dr. Huberman's lab is more about the brain and combatting fear than nutrition. Check out Dr. Michael Greger or Dr. Will Bulsiewicz for nutrition stuff.
Neuromusic. How music/sounds affect brain in general and how music affects resting-states in the brain?
Yes! I'm so curious about binaural beats.
Plaese talk abou music
👍🏽
Acoustic Brainwave Entrainment
@@mikealley4989 432 Hertz used to be what we heard but they've done away with it since maybe the '30's! and that was/is so much better for us! I can no longer suffer 440 and most of what is called "music" today!
THIS PODCAST WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE S O O O O O MUCH!!!!!! Thank you Andrew Huberman for your dedicated work, I literally think of you as God to me.. Im not religious, but the fact that you took me from a state of complete toxicity to a place of enlightenment in a matter of months. Iv been listening since September and Iv heard at least 200 hours of you talk now. Iv even repeated some episodes that were really good. The information you give is GOLD... You are paving the road for generations upon generations, and the amount of people YOU alone reach with your podcast is enough to change the entire course of existence, but think about all the people that those people then touch and change.. me for example. I would have never understood the relationship between dopamine and motivation, without knowing how that relationship works I wouldnt have been able to take my dopamine and thus motivation into my own hands. Now im doing unbelievable things 6 months after starting to make changes in my daily protocol, taking ice baths, doing calisthenic workouts, I quit smoking nicotine cold turkey after 12 years of smoking after your episode about nicotine, and these are things i always told myself id never be able to have the motivation to do... now i have to watch out how overextended i let myself get. You're alllllll time biggest fan - Brendan
It would be very interesting to dive deeper into topic of eyesight ageing and prevention, is it possible to reverse. Does age related vision change correlate to brain ageing?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and increasing public's interest in science!
I am interested in the aging brain. What is known about why one does not feel as quick and sharp at 60 or 80 compared to when one was 30 or 40. Mitigation techniques or practices?
Love that topic!
Bump.
I am in my 30s, but the last couple of years seen a steady decline in the mental speed and acuity. I'm also eager to learn some ways to regain them back and if it's possible to rewire your brain for peak performance at all times. Thank you!
Ditto to this suggestion
Yes please!
This is one of the things I am most excited about in 2021!
Also please mention interesting books that you would recommend!
Suggestions for topics:
1. Focus
2. Stress/stress management
3. Brain plasticity
Yes! Please recommend any books or individuals who you think are great resources! Also, focus.
Ooj ya I've been looking at books and am stuck on what to get plus i barely read but have newfound interest in the brain and psychology so i need a good book
S. As
@@TKHen huh
Yes to book recommendations
I would like to express my deep gratitude to Andrew Huberman for your generosity and mastery in conveying such depth and meaning through the precious language of science but going well beyond it to create a unified inner experience and vision.
Most of all and beyond all content I value the powerful energy that you convey, the love for human quest, for deep knowledge, for humanness, for moving towards new horizons. Thank you so much!
Thankyou so much Andrew for sharing your insight with the world! Greatly appreciated.
I would love to hear more about:
- Trauma healing through body work
- Polyvagal Theory
- Hypnosis / hypnotherapy in healing trauma
- Stress and "unexplainable" or psychosomatic pain
Suggestion: The neuroscience of Sleeping and Dreaming
I second this motion
I would like to suggest the topic, "The Neuroscience of Autism" across all levels of the spectrum. Please, please, please, continue with neuroscience in mindfulness, resilience, stress, and the positive mind! I teach positive psychology/Resiliency for the Army as well as a Positive Psychology teaching assistant at the University of New Mexico which is why I started following you on UA-cam and Instagram initially. All of your shared content is very awesome and much appreciated. Thank you again.
#neuroeducation
Yep, autism and its genetics , it’s relation to gender, dyslexia, and epilepsy. Specifically, my daughter has a severe form, are my son’s children more likely to be affected by ASD?
On this topic I'd also like to add in how is it that many people with autism have almost super human capabilities. For example muscle strength, ability to glance at a pile of scattered match sticks and quickly state how many are there (Rainman movie). Understand certain skills as if second nature. Hyper-focus on specific objects. Many of them have incredible skills!
Yes as a mother of a teen autistic son please any/all info will be helpful
SOS
I wanted to send you a genuine thank you. I found your podcast 3 days ago and have been hooked. As a person with Narcolepsy who is trying to live medication free ,I am familiar with many of the topics you have covered but the depth you discuss them and your amazing approach has not only given me a better understanding but also actionable information that I can use to attempt to reclaim more of my wakeful life. I'm not only trying to optimize my sleep and wake but also calm my emotion, improve my memory and many other aspects that have shifted since my narcolepsy got much worse in my late 30's.
Living a successful life in extreme sleep deprivation has not been an easy task, as it has affected almost all areas of my function. I am truly grateful that you've taken the time to share your wealth of knowledge.
❤ Thank you so much for everything you have done for this internet world 🌎 of knowledge 👏 we appreciate "YOU" Andrew, yes you have crafted your skills , and are a smart man, but YOU , made this happen for us regular average people.. .. I came to your 1st episode to write this msg... Andrew, you most likely have helped change the future....
Topic: very interested in your opinion on ADD and ADHD. Do you believe it is over diagnosed? What are the dangers of the medications being prescribed for these disorders and what affects do these drugs have on the brain? Are there natural ways to combat being unfocused?
Building on this - would love to know more about the basics of the mechanisms are work in the ADD/ADHD mind; how to “self medicate” with supplements that work with acetylcholine, norepinephrine, GABA, dopamine, serotonin - am I missing any others? The Vagus nerve? Everything is SO interconnected I don’t know where to end my questions! Would love to know the basics about this for other ADHDers to use a starting point for taking control of their diagnosis for the goal of getting off meds like adderall, strattera, vyvance, focalin(I personally take), etc. THANK YOU for starting this podcast! I am nerding out!!
Very important topic. I’d love to see the neuroscience behind the key traits behind ADHD...things like the lack of your own internal brain coach; lack of episodic memory; etc
Yes this
Yes I want this too 😊
Yes! As a mother of two kids (and 3 pets) and the one that has responsibilities for organizing a household of 4 (all who more than likely have ADHD - not sure about my two kids, but they definitely exhibit major symptoms and we all definitely struggle) I would like to know any and all there is to know about ADHD. I feel like I'm struggling, behind, and just about failing at it.. every day. I was diagnosed just a few years ago (in my mid 30's) with ADHD, SCT, and a couple of other things *sigh*....
We - my family and I - struggle every single day. With all of it - lack of focus, hyperactivity, disorganized (house is a wreck a lot of the time and can't seem to catch up - ever!), sensitivities, strong big emotions, major executive functioning issues, time management/time blindness, impulses, hyper-focusing and transitioning/changing tasks, task initiation is a big one for me, specifically. All of it. This is such a problem and issue in my life... I feel desperate to learn more about it, and for how to improve my life, and the lives of my family members! I'd love to know about prescription meds (such as Adderall) and what you think about that, as well as other things that could greatly help those who struggle with ADHD. I have also been diagnosed with SCT (Sluggish Cognitive Tempo) so I'd love to know anything there is to know about that, as well. We also struggle with anxiety and depression as well. Oh, and also... perhaps focusing both on children who have strong symptoms or who have been diagnosed, as well as focusing on adults... and perhaps even focusing on the differences between men with ADHD and women with ADHD (because I've heard there are definitely differences?!) Thank you so much Dr. Huberman for all that you do! I LOVE your videos and have been binge-watching them. Thanks so much! You have a way with teaching, and knowing how to describe things so anyone can understand them, and I just want you to know that I SO appreciate what you're doing. Thank you!
Addiction, Complex PTSD, Sleep.
motivation and focus barriers, straight forward things, but all based on science (no expetions exept xD when u clearly say so repeatedly) sounds very awesome!!!
My favorites:
-Motivation
-Emotion regulation
-Executive Functions
-Adhd / Pharmacology and implications for all people since its a spectrum
-Pain and negative feelings when doing things u should and want to do
-Social feelings and strange ways of being human
-How to acquire scientific knowledge by tapping studyes and metaanalysis directly (or some better way if there is)
-Philosophy on brain / dna / chemicals / motiovation and the implications on laws/ crime / rich/poor divide / the implications on things u hear often like "hard work" and "selfdiciplin" and giving medals to the fastest, richest and smartest
Really glad you started your own channel, been binge watching all your features on other podcasts.
Suggestions: Time perception, Brain supplements, Learning and memory , Overcoming addiction, How to achieve altered states of mind and Your thoughts on consciousness.
Yes; ovecoming addiction, and useful tools to avoid relapse
Topic:
Decision making and the effects of certain emotions on brain structures and the chemical balance of the brain. Emotions such as the happiness, depression, anxiety, excitement, etc. Maybe even dive into conscious decisions that an individual makes and how those decisions affect brain structures. If I remember correctly, you briefly touched on this when you were on JRE. You discussed quitting and how it leaves gaps in the brain from incomplete connections between neurons.
Can you tell me what JRE is? Would love to view that
Joe Rogan experience
Suggested topics:
-Effects of intermittent fasting on brain specificaly.
-effects of hit training and aerobic training on the brain
-genetics and iq or G factor
-ketogenic diet on brain function
Thanks in advance Andrew!
This will never be read, and it doesnt matter, but.. Wow it is beyond incredible that this podcast is under 5 years old and already surmounting 1 million views per podcast. Holy F***. This just goes to show how desperate humanity is for free, quality education. The great equalizer (internet) is pushing us all forward at a marvelous rate. Thanks Andy. No joke, you are propelling this generation forward in a massive quantity compared to your peers here on earth. I say WOW with the highest regards. You're incredible.
I'm a high school science teacher. Many of my students openly discuss their struggles with anxiety and depression. I would like to hear a podcast geared toward the mental health of teenagers. I want to include and expand on the topic in my Human Health and Nutrition curriculum.
Hi im no expetrt but i recommend looking at my teenage year, sports are the best to divert teenagers attention.
Anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and panic disorder.
And anxiety at night when during the day it seems under control. Tools tricks tips on getting the mind in order when you wake up. How to get better deeper sleep so that small disturbances (physical and auditory) do now wake you up.
Yes. I rarely have a panic attack that doesn't start when am relaxed enough to doze off. I can have a normal day and then when I start to doze off, bam, adrenaline surges through me like electricity (actually feels like a surge or wave of electricity), or it wakes me out of sleep, and the waves of adrenaline continue for hours or all night. I've heard this called a "nocturnal panic attack" but it's kinda confusing because I'm usually just really tired or worn out and not anxious before they happen. So why is it considered a panic disorder as though it's mental and not simply a physical problem?
@@whiterock2815 Yeh and I wake up tired but ready to get into the day like my body is saying "who needs sleep anyway". Napping would be a dream come true! I struggle to get through Nidra lol. And the cycle begins again when the lights go out. I should say that I have been through diagnosed adrenal burnout and I am curious how low levels of hormones (cortisol) are related. This is all part of the work trying to recover.
What I do do: Dim all lights and only have on floor lights after sunset, get outside sunset and sunrise, have a lightbox (helped my mood immensely), I take magnesium threonate and theanine and tryptophan (I personally have experienced that this helps with dreams) along with a plethora of other supplements. I was taking melatonin which helped but I don't need it.
Please try reading "The Body Keeps the Score" xx
Parenting: Tools and tips on how to raise your kids from toddlers to teenagers in regards to what you know about the brain. Thanks.
Mindfulness and Neuroplasticity. I have learnt useful mindfulness techniques through a mindfulness therapist and she talks about rewiring the brain, to combat our negative self-talk.
I'd love to learn more about how it's possible to build new neural pathways and how that helps us to manage anxiety and fear.
Thank you for your content.
And the mention of your dog at the end was all that was required for me to hit subscribe 😄🐶
Please talk about the procrastination and how to break it for High level performance.
What makes some people reach for the sky, have ambition and aspire to be more, yet some are quite happy to remain in repetitive mundane lifestyles?
I was 12 when I asked my school teacher...
Never got an answer!
Thank you 😊
Ooo sounds fascinating!
I would love to hear a neurological perspective on philosophical approaches to successfully living life: Stoicism, Epicureanism, Hedonism... etc.
Yesss I am so fascinated by this! “If you want a new idea, read an old book” - philosophy has been so eye opening and that along with critical thinking is really the crux of everything in life! (At least from what I’ve gathered) would love to hear your thoughts Andrew!
Growth Mindset! I first heard of it from my oldest son’s 4th grade teacher last year. Then I was blown away to hear you talk about it as well.
And I must say, THANK YOU for doing this! YOU are what the world needs right now. I’m trying really hard to stay off social media, so I went down the UA-cam rabbit hole listening to countless hours of you on different podcasts over the last several months, some of my favorites being Lex Fridman, Mikhaila Peterson, Whitney Cummings, and especially loved hearing about your early life when you were on Rich Roll. I’m constantly raving to people about you. Seriously, thank you.
I just discovered this podcast today and I have subscribed and I believe it will become one of my favorites. I love that you have discussed sleeping and stress. I would recommend a discussion about aging and the brain and cognitive skills. Not only things like dementia and Alzheimer's but just normal aging issues and how to optimize the use of an aging brain. Thank you so much.
I would love to see a video on cognitive dissonance and how it impacts when trying to break bad habits! Also interested in meditation (wanted to do my masters on brain responses to Tibetan singing bowl frequencies) and mindfullness effect the brain in terms of shifting brain activity; from medial to lateral. :) Super excited for this channel!
Yes! Habits are the compounded interest of self improvement so bad habits of self destruction and they are deep seeded and tend to rule our lives. If we redirect those we can shape the future we want, even if in bad places. Don’t have to be Goggins about it, but surely there are many scientific tools for the average person, yes?
What Rach said and also - particularly interested in sound/music and how it relates to the brain. How can one create/write music to help induce certain states for those listening (whether through bpm, waves, frequencies, etc.) and SYNESTHESIA (why some people see certain colors when they hear certain keys of music)...last but not least, getting better at reducing procrastination and increasing focus.
Finally ❤️❤️
Topic suggestion: Anger what happens from a neurological perspective that makes us angry and how to change how our brain reacts to the things that makes us angry
The neuroscience of Speech! Cognitive Linguistics, Language Acquisition, and Speech related disorders such as Apraxia
Hi Andrew, my suggestion is1. how to move from depression to performance, 2. how to forget toxic people bad experiences on us(un learning if I wrote it right!).
Thanks
I would like to learn more about " low angular light", (sorry may have the incorrect terminology) the importance of natural light for our eyes.From you I've learned that early morning natural light affects many functions in our body and also affects our sleep, which has an great impact on how we live our lives. I really think it's great that you will go in-depth into topics and suggest tools. This is a great service.Thank you Dr.Huberman
YES! Me too! I'd love some more specific guidelines, like "this long after sunrise", "this high in the sky", if one benefits from looking anywhere in the "blue-yellow" light, etc.
You mentioned "contrast" and have a pic in the Stanford lecture taken in the direction of the sun... is that what you mean by contrast? You mean the contrast of a tree or building or mountain with the sun behind it? In that case are you suggesting we look in the general area of the sunrise?
CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS are perhaps one the most important subject regarding our health and wellbeing. As a main topic relevant to LIGHT AND HEALTH and your expertise it would be great to discuss the OCULAR NEUROSCIENCE and effects of LIGHT on the PHOTOENTRAINMENT of the CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS. We spend more than 90% of our lives in and about the built environment. What are the most advance tools to monitor and measure our daily light intake and tools to ensure a robust circadian entrainment?
Suggestion for topics:
Learning; with a specific emphasis on foreign language acquisition as an adult.
(And, thank you for deciding to run this podcast - very excited about the upcoming shows, not least with the hope of getting to know Costello!)
This is something I and I’m sure many others are very excited about. What you and your team has done and continues to do is life-changing, Doc, so thank you. I would love if you would please dedicate an entire month to overcoming various types of traumas, namely child negligence, sexual abuse, and anything else either psychological and/or physical that occurs especially during the first 7 years or neuroplastic years till 25 that end up truly turning adult life upside-down. I’m sure there are enough out there that will tune in to something like this. Thanks again and looking forward to every single podcast!
Discussing the benefits of touch, the science behind different modalities would be great. Understanding the nervous system and its relationship to touch is important. As a touch therapist, I am passionate about the power of touch for relaxation and as a source of lowering stress levels and helping people heal. According to the American Institute of Stress:75 - 90% of physician visits are for conditions related to stress. There are over 350 modalities of bodywork the help reduce the stress levels that so many people don't know about. Thank you!
How about Touch therapy to heal pains
@@AmitSachdevaStudio Of course, that's all part of the healing detail I mentioned. My apologies if that wasn't clear. Thank you for adding it in. :)
I’d be interested in how to incorporate access to the autonomous nervous system through breath work into touch (massage) therapy.
There are so many bodywork techniques this study could do wonders for. some can be done to the self. This would be more useful for me in classroom teaching. small exercises to break up the lesson/work day and 'check in' time, patting their own body, breathing, physical movement, warm palms on the eye sockets. Ways to self regulate their own feelings, thoughts, motivation and learning. Tools for life, mastery of the self. So much irrelevant stuff taught at school
Suggestion: Time perception - future and past. How we can suppress our current desires as an exchange for future rewards based on our past experiences.
BTW: extremely hyped about this podcast! Thank you.
Me too! Brilliant suggestion!
Awesome! ❤️
Thank you so much for all excellent podcasts. I am a yoga professional and explanation about the different neurotransmitters has made concepts clearer to me. I can’t thank you enough for suggesting Yoga Nidra to people in the section Sleep. You are doing a brilliant job.
Thank you so much
2 mins into this video and i'm thinking, this man should science his way about the fact that he does not need to blink. Love the work you do Andrew! discovered you on the Rich Roll podcast. loved every video from you since then! Keep on keeping on!
PARENTING - specifically on the neuroscience behind the development of “growth” vs. “fixed” mind states!
Yes!!!! 👍👍
Attention Deficit Disorder: How to best use tools and tips to use this condition to an advantage. Thanks.
YES! Join the club, I think lots of us are asking about that. I would love to decrease my medication use. Especially since, unlike antidepressants, stimulants CAN be taken on a "per need" basis and on the days one needs them, so I wouldn't feel like I would be doing anything medically not recommended.
And implications for *everyone* else since its a *spectrum* and how the pharmacology that is used to treat adhd works and the brain science behind it =)
Great! And if possible the difference between supporting ADHD on children with conventional medicine and homeopathic treatments.
I would love for you to talk about cerebral spinal fluid and the brain!! I feel so much more needs to be researched about this, but would love to hear you discuss this. I have a special interest in cerebralspinal fluid because I suffer from an intractable spinal csf leak from punctures, and it’s insane the effects on the brain, it’s not just a headache!
Ways of dealing with, managing & even thriving while suffering from an Auditory Processing Disorder or some other similar brain-sense communication malfunction. Thank you for your work. You will change the world with this podcast.
Stres management, reducing depression/anxiety, sleep improving habits
Yessss stress management!
Overcoming depression
Thanks a lot from east Java indonesia
Sleeeeeep
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
I'm sure you're familiar with the book "The body keeps the score". I would love to hear you talk about how emotional trauma impacts the brain (e.g. inability to express a memory, lack of imagination etc.) and how to regain agency over those experiences.
Thanks for devoting your time to this podcast! I love it and I love you man!
Shoot man! UA-cam content richness is increasing by the day. So grateful to be Alive in times like this. :D
I’m interested in hearing about food and how it correlates with mental health and physical health
...and to build on this... eating disorders and the relationship that those and food have with the brain, as well as any effects eating disorders have on the brain. I have struggled unfortunately with two different types of eating disorders (most recently binge eating), and I feel like my relationship with food as always been a struggle. One of my eating disorder therapists explained something about how the brain is changed when someone has an eating disorder, and if that is true...I'd love to know more about that and how all of that works.
I’d like to know more about the neuroscience of ADHD/ADD. What’s going on there in general and how to better focus on the strengths of an ADHD brain and mitigate the downsides as best as possible. There’s a lot content out there in regards to psychology or behavioral therapy but I’m interested in a more in-depth look at the scientific foundations of the ADHD-brain.
Topic:
-How to stop focusing on negative things or how to worry less about things outside of your control.
-How to manage conflict especially with other people.
-How other people effect us and how we can lessen any negative effects they may have on us/change our relationship to those people. Eg: tensions at work, at home. And maybe how to capitalise on good relationships?
Loved your first episode!
What great content! Thank you, dr Huberman. Suggested topic: Anxiety &How To Cope With it
Tools for healing with trauma/ mental illness. Honing in to who we truly “are”.
Yes! So important for navigating life. knowing who and what we are is the key!
It's so great to hear that you're doing this podcast, I would be really interested to hear anything you can share on resilience & how we can optimise it & also protecting the brain from ageing. Many thanks.
Hello Andrew, I adore how you explain everything with so much clarity and efficiency. I saw a suggestion under that I am very interested also with. Its about childhood traumas. When you have accumulated an enormous amount of traumas and have been exposed constantly during years to trauma, what tools besides psychotherapy etc.. you can use to help with erasing limiting belief systems, haunting fears, etc,,, all the consequences that prevent us to be the best version of ourselves today. Thank you sooooooo much . I am fascinated by neurosciences, but its the first time that I am that impressed by the quality and clarity of how you cover topics.
I would love to see an episode on epigenetics, and some of the work Dr. Joe Dispenza and his colleagues have been working on. Specifically how the human brain/psyche can affect physical health.
To add to this, the study of epigenetics does seem to go a step further in suggesting that the human psyche/brain can have an effect on external circumstances, such as "willing" one's self to succeed, make more optimal life choices, etc. Curious to hear a neuroscientists take on this.
I believe you may have touched on this in a couple interviews you've done, but I would love to hear more of a deep dive by you on the subject
Yes, I would also love for Dr. Huberman to research the work of Joe Dispenza as well!
Yes!
Yes please
How to stay more calm when the amygdala doesn't want to, like when trying to argue a point in a conversation and general anxiety when in a public situation to stay truly calm. I've done the 2:1 breathing technique and deep breathing. But how can i always not go into FIGHT OR FLIGHT and be so stressed with cortisol all the time!!
But would really like to know more of the parasympathetic nervous system and how to be a much cooler customer' in general 😌 thanks and love your work!!
Yes!!!!!!
@@rubydreams6345 🥰
Hey Mr Bomber... you probably are quite a sweet person, yet look at your name, LOL, it conjures up the image of a vigilante. I mean... 💣10mrbomber🚀 that alone conjures up "fight or flight". Just saying...
@@silviopina_111 thanks for ur input, first its just a name never judge by a username, i made it when i was a kid anyways, also deep breathing has helped me significantly boosting my lung capaciteee! Wim hof method bbyy
@@Poetry4Peace LOL! I never saved my edited post last night. 😂 Anyways, as I mentioned there, I was "just saying". Also, Mr B... I was not judging you, I was merely sharing a feeling I got from your name... or maybe as Dr Huberman would say... a "state". ⚡💢
Ok, you really don't have to read the rest, I'm just having a little playful fun with you (don't we all need more playfulness and fun?- at least I do…). 😜
And Happy New Year to you!!!🎉🎊
Since we are talking about the brain🧠 here, I'll share the “story my neurons told me” when I saw your name and read your message.
In my mind when I read your name and I see the picture of a muscly dude staring me down pointing a gun at me, I sense "belligerent" (wants to get into a fight). If that was real, I’d go “fight or flight?”.
I was not judging you, Mr B, it’s me sharing my reaction to your name. I think what happened here is a great example of half the stuff that goes on out there, like people say words, meaning is attached to words and things escalate. I am not saying you and I are escalating, but that’s one way for it to happen:
1) You have fun with your name and avatar (and for you it’s just a name)
2) I see a “vigilante” and tell you what I see
3) You tell me I should not judge your name (but I didn’t)
and so on and so forth.
If we were in a Star Wars type cantina, maybe we’d get into a fight. Or maybe I would just “FLIGHT” LOL!
Also if you use that avatar inside the video-game universe, it has an effect, right? If you use it here, it might have a different effect. I am pretty sure (another assumption LOL) you are waaaaay younger than me, so that’s another thing…
End of story. Sorry for being soooo long-winded and thank you for reading if you did read the whole thing :-)
I really look forward to Prof. Huberman’s tools for “de-escalating” our internal conflicts. 🐒 🙈🙉🙊
I started trying the “panoramic” view, if I feel my blood boiling, although I have ADHD and I mostly need sharp focus and staying on task for my work. 🎯 So I’m trying the “long inhale, quick exhale” pumping in the morning. Then I also need the “calm down” breathing, cause I get anxiety when I see I am running out of time and I haven’t accomplished anything… and then I freeze and I get super-tired...so now I have to do the "calm down" technique AND the "energizing" one at the same time?😂😜😂
Take care Mr B! ☺️
:-)
Suggestion: Fasting (Valter Longo from USC) & Cold exposure training (Wim Hof / Ice man method)
As a parent I am interested in how to structure my children’s day so that they learn optimally.
I am also interested in how to manage screen time for eye strain in the below age ten category.
Lastly, can you comment more on the brain fog that long Covid patients are reporting?
Thank you Sir for educating us! Be well and keep up the good work!
oh and what would be really really intersting is the connection between the brain and the gut. Looking forward to this podacast in any way :-)
The gut! and the heart! yes! Good points!
THIS
I would love to see a discussion about the importance and role that omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA and EPA, play in brain health and function. The difference between fish consumption and fish oil supplementation, etc. Thank you !
I would like to hear more about gut health (specifically foods to promote gut health) and inflammation prevention. It would also be fabulous to hear about how to treat menopause and dementia/Alzheimer’s prevention. Thank you so much for all the work you do… yours is one of the most informative podcasts I have ever listened to.
I personally would like to know more about how to get past fear and overcome procrastination. Thank you so much for your work. Just waouh!
Suggestion: I have noticed a difference in the degree of difficulty between starting a routine that involves physical activity (e.g running, lifting, stretching) and a routine involving mental activity (e.g studying, learning to play an instrument or mentally focusing on something in general). It seems like most physically active people, can train for 2 hours a day, but can't sit down to study for more than 15 minutes. Is this something that is true for most people? Are there "categories" of people based on which kind of activity is easier for them (physical or mental)? Is there even a distinction between physical and mental activity?
Also, recently i was having a discussion with a friend on the topic of social media. I was claiming that they are all based around capturing as much of your attention as possible, by using tricks such as notifications, likes, comments, followers. Basically explaining the Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix. He was adamant on the fact that it has no effect on him and that all his posts and stories,etc is just "for fun". First of all, am i right in my analysis? If yes, how can i make it clear to him and to anyone else i have the discussion with, that there is little chance that you can actually use the app and that most likely the app is using YOU? Also, your commentary on the whole social media industry and what effect they have on peoples mood, concentration ability,etc. would be incredibly interesting.
To your first question, yes, there are differing natural predispositions toward physical versus mental activity. One of my entrepreneurial friends is very physically active and cannot stay still for long. On the other hand, I can easily binge-watch lectures for several hours at a time and enjoy the stillness of yoga nidra and can spend several hours working on math problems with students, even skipping meals, lol. We both enjoy hiking, however. You can train yourself to become equally adept at starting both routines with practice and repetition, but it would require some trial and error.
As for the apps, some people can use them better than others to their own advantage. A social media influencer would be one such example. Also, I have used Reddit and UA-cam personally to teach myself life-changing skills and ask questions when stuck. UA-cam also happens to be my main source of entertainment, but I often watch content to broaden my knowledge and/or to study people. User experience will vary.
Hi, Dr. Huberman!
I'd love for you to take a deep dive into the science of the eye and vision. I find it fascinating how the eye, as part of the brain plays a much bigger role than previously thought in our health through timing of light, movement and more. I've also had poor vision since I was born and would love to know about the emerging technologies in the field to correct for dysfunction of the eye and its parts.
Thank you so much for all that you do and for sharing your knowledge with us!
Go science!
Same here. Also if not OK to look at light with sunglasses, how does one protect from Pterygium causing UV?
Vitreous humor separation prevention things to heal it. Cataracts causes, how to reverse them
Thank you for doing this and educating me. Much appreciated.
More about eye movement calming the amygdala plz ! I heard you say something on a podcast and you were so right: EMDR totally calms down my PTSD in triggering situations in a way that five years of talking, even tapping, never has. Thank you!!!! Hypervigilance sucks but now I have hope thanks to you
Menopause and the brain, viruses and the nervous system, neuropathy
The power of intention and positive thinking in relation to goal achievement and better personal itneractions
I especially liked Andrew's comment on grief when we have lost someone and can move on but keep gratitude for the time we had without focusing on the loss. Grief can be crippling
Thanks for being here and doing this.
Providing the world with valuable and trustworthy information for free.
I love you forever, Andrew. Thanks so much!!!
Really love these podcasts. I am currently studying Psychology and I do believe these tool should be more widely available and that the stream of knowledge should extend beyond University walls. Love how Andrew breaks everything down and makes it so relatable. Thank you
Yoga nidra vs evocative imagery vs TM meditation, etc. Which is most effective meditation technique in neuroplasticity or can all be effective?
Or also Yoga Nidra vs Self Hypnosis. We need scripts. I went to Reveri. It's great, but I hate having to use Alexa app. I have it on my phone, I hate the bot, I don't want to be online when I fall asleep.
@@silviopina_111 yeah. I agree with you. I tried that and the Alexa thing kinda ruined it for me. But definitely self hypnosis would be nice to compare with other techniques as well.
@@zanigma1 Ah, there, I am sure they went for it because they needed the interactivity, but until we can choose something less intrusive than Alexa, I think I will keep looking for other options, even if they are not interactive. Right now the best option seems to be podcasts. You Tube videos work too, but they would need to be downloaded. Podcasts I can download, then play it before sleep with my phone set on airplane mode. So I have been looking for both yoga Nidra AND self hypnosis podcasts and found "too many" (as an ADHDr I hate too much choice, LOL). If anybody reading or even Prof. Huberman would chime in with any recommendations/links, it would be great.
Addictive behaviors (not just regarding substance abuse) regarding which part of the brain handles addiction.
such as ... shopping, judging others, OCD, hoarding, repetitive attachment to deep emotion- wallowing. You have touched on this. Rewards by dopamine, familiarity. Ways to break the cycle
Dear Professor you are my idol and inspiration. If I ever get a chance to study in America or Stanford whatever. I will definitely meet you sir. Your life history is extremely inspiring and motivating. You are awesome, Sir.
Best regards
Maruf Adnan from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Undergrad student of Fisheries and Marine Science.
The format you stated in this video is exactly what I was looking for. Sticking to one subject for a month as opposed to snippets and bites. I am looking forward to this channel.
Hi, interesting in knowing abt the benefits of inverted yoga poses ( handstand, headstand..) on brain, nervous and general health. Thanks
Topic for discussion:
Influencing your autonomic nervous system at will for better performance. Using breathing, mindfulness, meditation, etc... as tools to bring about different states of autonomic arosal.
Yes and we need specific guidelines. I went back and listened to some videos and jotted down # of reps, length of inhale or exhale, etc...
I have now discovered your channel. Simply admirable and very consistent, deep and serious. I really liked it and I will follow it whenever possible. I spent a whole year with an English Bulldog of an ex girlfriend. They are friends and very stubborn. I ended up earning his trust, after all I was almost the only one who walked with him and fed him during that year I lived with him almost daily. But even so, he often circumvented the rules. They are really stubborn, they love a fight with other gate dogs and very strong. They love humans.
Thank you, Dr Huberman, I am excited and grateful to be able to benefit from your work and outlook on life. As an almost 75 years young woman, i plan using all available tools to enhance my next quarter century! Thank you for your generosity.
