Hello Dr Huberman. It is ‘Guru Purnima’ in India today (3rd July, 2023). Guru means teacher in Hindi language. On this day, we thank our teachers for guiding us and showing us the right path. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us to lead better lives through your continuous efforts in the field of science. You are indeed a Guru for me. A very Happy Guru Purnima Dr Andrew Huberman🙏🏻
Thank you for your kind words and for educating me about this day. I’m grateful to you for your curiosity, generosity and interest in science! All the best, Andrew
I'm in my 50s and working every day to have a better life and I'm so grateful to dr. Huberman (and his guests) for sharing a profound and immensely articulate knowledge in a way that's bearable and affordable for everybody. I'm used to listen his podcast during my evening 5k fast walk and it's such a pleasure, every time.
This is the third 'cliff notes' episode I've listened to lately (the others being the sleep and fitness toolkits) and while I love the longer format deep dives and guest episodes, I'm so thankful for these episodes that concisely summarize the actionable steps for achieving lasting, positive health and fitness routines.
I actually got to shake his hand and tell him thank you for his podcast on top of a waterfall in Yosemite last month when I was hiking with a few friends. Cool experience.
Absolutely essential knowledge for most people to stay healthy and functional for the rest of their lives. I listen to your podcasts all the time on the bus, on the tram, anywhere. I find them very helpful. Thank you for your contribution to the world!
@@mahdikhalilimehr3478Zone 2 cardio is a type of exercise ,like jogging, in which your heart rate is 60%-70% of your maximum heart rate (MHR). So zone 2 will feel like a light exercise that you can continue for a prolonged period of time.Moreover, it is more effective at fat loss than most exercises.
Any Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners out there who may be able to help me access where this falls in the fitness regimen? Zone 2 Cardio, Resistance training, Strength? Does it check off any of these markers? I train at different levels of intensity 4 days a week. Would love to count it in my time spent somewhere. Probably Zone 2... but possibly other as well.

Recap by Tammy AI
Here are some ways to take action on the key points you mentioned to improve your fitness: * **Incorporate zone 2 cardio into your daily routine.** Zone 2 cardio is a type of exercise that is done at a moderate intensity, where you are able to talk in complete sentences but not sing. You can do zone 2 cardio by walking, running, biking, or swimming. * **Do low-repetition pure strength work.** This type of strength training involves lifting heavy weights for a few repetitions. You can do low-repetition pure strength work with a variety of exercises, such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows. * **Dedicated strength training.** Strength training is important for maintaining muscle size and strength throughout life, especially after 40. You can do strength training at home or at a gym. * **Exercise snacks.** Exercise snacks are short bursts of physical activity that can be done throughout the day. Examples of exercise snacks include taking a brisk walk, doing a few push-ups or sit-ups, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. * **The physiological sigh technique.** The physiological sigh technique is a breathing technique that can be used to enhance fitness and recovery. To do the physiological sigh technique, simply take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale slowly and completely through your mouth. * **Calming breathing at the end of every workout.** Calming breathing at the end of every workout can enhance recovery and promote adaptation. To do calming breathing, simply sit or lie down in a comfortable position and focus on your breath. Take slow, deep breaths in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. * **Setting boundaries.** Setting boundaries is important for ensuring that you have enough time and energy to exercise. This may mean saying no to social engagements or other commitments. * **Using tools like smartphones, omega-3 fatty acids, and creatine.** Smartphones can be used to track your fitness progress and to find workout programs. Omega-3 fatty acids and creatine are supplements that can enhance fitness and performance. * **Nutrition and training fasted or fed.** Nutrition and training fasted or fed are two factors that can affect your fitness results. It is important to experiment to find what works best for you. * **Incorporating different exercise patterns.** There are many different types of exercise, such as cardio, strength training, and flexibility training. It is important to incorporate a variety of exercises into your fitness routine to get the best results. I hope this gives you some ideas on how to take action on the key points you mentioned. It is important to remember that everyone is different, so what works for one person may not work for another. It is important to experiment to find what works best for you and to listen to your body.
The number one scientific podcast on the internet. Experts in every field, there will never be another channel with the abundance of information presented clearly for everyone at no cost. Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to the weekly uploads.
Thank you for taking the time to prepare this summary of the series with Dr. Galpin. Massive thank you for dedicating so much of your time to your social media platforms/channels. Seeing how popular you have become makes me truly happy, you deserve all the recognition and praise.
Every time I watch long form content by Dr Andrew, I realize that I don't feel the time passing watching for hours, because I'm very focused and taking notes, the time flies 🎉 thank you Dr, all of this info will help me, and help my family members and team members to improve their health ❤. I have one tip for zone 2 cardio, if learned from my coach that works for me to know I am in an aerobic state, its when my lips start to dry a little bit, so I understood that is an indicator when your body is using fat rather than glucose to fuel your body. Anyways Stay fit and be happy 💯
Bless you, Dr. Huberman. I skew on the older side and have consistently injured myself when starting an exercise/weight routine. Knees begin to suck after age 60 for some of us… would appreciate an episode that addresses ways to adapt activities for arthritic joints. Important to stay active, but not to the point of injury! You are an inspiration. And PS- I’ve been listening/exercising regularly for the past 9 months…INJURY FREE! (Knock on wood!)
This is my favor Huberman episode so far, because it conveys a lot of useful information in a concise way. I don't usually have time to listen to full episodes. I hope Dr. Huberman will consider offering more episodes like this one that summarize content from many, longer episodes in a concise way. The links to the more detailed episodes are helpful for when I am interested in learning more.
Recently got problems with falling asleep. However, several subsequent physiological sighs helped me to turn off anxious thought and fall asleep faster. Thank you Professor, for your intent to give us the best 0 cost tools for everyday life.
Hello Dr Huberman, just wanted to say thank you for all your contributions. I discovered your podcasts a year ago because I was suffering from insomnia following the death of my beloved 13 year old dog. Your tools helped me enormously , specially NSDR with Liam wich I still do till this day. I am a big fan and regular listener of your podcast, you have really made a positive impact in my life, I can’t thank you enough. All the best, wish you a happy, healthy life.
As a life long traditional martial arts practitioner I could not help but notice how much of our training : Ibuki breathing - bowing at the dojo entrance are in line with these tips. I love it!
Can you make a podcast on diabete type 2 or how to get rid of high sugar in blood. What to eat or not. At a certain point of pre-diabete we do not know what to eat and how to stay healthy. Thank you for your podcasts. They are essential to all of us!
Hi Dr. Huberman! I’ve been making incremental changes to my lifestyle for the past few years thanks to your easily digestible podcasts. I have been able to overcome the worst of the university blues while maintaining my fitness goals and working towards my biggest ambitions. I am so thankful for you! I have a suggestion for a guest in a future episode. Myself and many other people living with chronic autoimmune diseases would benefit from a conversation between you and Dr. Terry Wahls. She is well cited for her clinical trials and publications in diet interventions for MS patients. Along with you, she was really changed my life so it would be dream to hear you two talk science and protocol!
Enjoy training hard-love! I'm 60 years old and have been ,physically active since high school, at 60 I have rediscovered enjoying training hard, but I had to quit using alcohol. Before giving up alcohol training was a chore I had to get through so I could have my wine. Thank you for all of your wonderful content.
Thank you, Huberman, for consistently bringing in experts and providing content that bridges the gap between science and practical application. I'm confident that this episode will offer valuable tools to supercharge our fitness journey and lead us to new heights of physical excellence. I'm excited to listen and implement the science-supported strategies shared in this episode to accelerate my fitness goals and achieve peak performance.
PLEASE make an episode on how to strengthen/heal the muscles related to repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel, or any physical injuries caused by working at the office and sitting in a chair for extended periods. EXCELLENT episode here thanks a lot
Thank you, Dr. Huberman. I love your channel because the content is backed by science. Grateful to you and your team. I absolutely loved the 6 part series with Dr. Galpin.🙏🏾
Hello Dr. Huberman, would it be possible to do an episode about fear and how to manage it while having to focus on what you are doing? I am a rock and mountain climber and I find the concept of fear the most important part of these sports. I would be highly interested to learn some underlying neuroscience principles about it. Thank you ❤
FOR ANYONE WONDERING ABOUT THE 3-5 Protocol please read this. What Dr. Huberman is describing is called "Starting Strength" Training. This form of training is to build strength with compound exercises. Its the easiest way to build strength on your body because the program is simple. The Starting Strength Program is as described : Linear Novice Progression = 4 exercises total : Barbell Squat , Overhead Press, Bench Press, Deadlift. These exercises target the most muscles in your body in one movement. (You alternate bench press + overhead press per workout, equaling to 3 exercises total per workout) Programming consist of 3-4 workouts per week. SQUAT : (reps x sets x weight) 10 x 1 x 45 (Olympic barbell weight) 5 x 1 x (Addition Weight) 3 x 1 x (Addition Weight) 2 x 1 x (Addition Weight) 5 x 3 x (Workset Weight) Bench Press : (reps x sets x weight) 10 x 1 x 45 (Olympic barbell weight) 5 x 1 x (Addition Weight) 3 x 1 x (Addition Weight) 2 x 1 x (Addition Weight) 5 x 3 x (Workset Weight) *This alternates to Overhead Press* Deadlift : (reps x sets x weight) 5 x 1 x 135 (2 x45lb plates) 3 x 1 x (Addition Weight) 2 x 1 x (Addition Weight) 5 x 1 x (Workset Weight) 3-5 Minutes of rest per Workset Each workout session you add 5lbs to each Workset, and eventually you wont be able to do 5lbs jumps so you go to 2.5lbs jumps. Progressively overloading your work sets. For reference, I am a 25yo Male whos been overweight my entire life (currently I'm 245lbs due to mental health struggles and disorders) I started doing this program a few years back and I've never been stronger in my entire life. I took before and after pictures of my progress within 3 months and I've never seen my muscles look so good (I wasn't ripped by any means but I could see my muscles for the first time in my whole life) . Its a simple program that requires little to no thinking because there's only 4 workouts you need to learn. I encourage everyone to try Starting Strength Training. If you look up starting strength on UA-cam you'll find videos on how to do it. its a great/easy way to build strength. If anyone has any questions, let me know and ill try to help out in anyway I can. This program changed my life.
Thx sir! Congratulations… and best of wishes to you. What you describe sounds like something I’ve heard about called German volume training! Also very few compound exercises only a few times a week! Check it out.
I suffer migraines 30 mins or so after intense exercise and always assumed it was from “ overheating “ I used to use medication to control it now I use your palm cooling technique to bring my core temperature down it’s more effective than medication. Many thanks for your work
Mr Huberman you should run for president, people like you is needed, decent, intelligent, knowledgeable and mainly human and kind, please please consider it , it will be a way to serve the country and the world. Thank you kindly God bless you
Рік тому+2
Thanks for summorizing a bit, eventually I listen to the whole guest series, but this is helping now, thank you
First of all you are a modern day prophet for health . Thanks for everything you do. Secondly I want to build health plans for my senior parents. Could you please do something around that. Thank

Hi Dr Huberman I hope you are safe and well today. I would like to add my thankfulness and gratitude to the growing mass of gratitude you have acquired. Your amazing ability to educate and inspire people around the world I am sure has not come for free. You have taken the forge of your life experiences to help others in incredible ways. Saving and improving lives as you do is an exemplary aspect of humanity that gives me pride in our species in a time where this is so vary important. I think we will be ok. Thank you Troy
I will say that the Galpin series and your optimal protocol episode has been transformational for my own health and fitness. Its been proven in the blood tests. Thank you for your continued efforts in sharing scientific information to help us live a more sustainable and healthy life!!
It would be amazing if you could do a podcast on Rhodiola Rosea! I actually was surprised that you haven't mentioned it earlier and wanted to propose this idea in the comments to other videos of yours lol. So glad you tried it yourself and brought it up. I use it for an enhanced athletic output too but also as an (imho) incredible nootropic. Would be cool if you could make a podcast on all of its effects. Thank you for your work dr. Huberman!
Thanks doc for what you do. Just started watching your videos. The few videos I've watched so far are a huge eye opener for me. We typically get 5 to 15min with our PCP. Having hours with you is a game changer.
Hey Dr Huberman. Are you and Dr Galpin able to do a podcast on what the data says regarding training and weightlifting on children and adolescents? When it’s safe to start, how the training should be different in the different stages of adolescence, and safety concerns regarding resistance training and it’s potential effect on the growth plates? I think that would speak to all of your listeners who have children and are getting them involved in sports. As a physician, I really appreciate all of your data driven information! Thanks, Eddie
I'm half way through and need to go back to the beginning to start counting how many times you said "Dr Andy Galpin" lol. Just picking Doc, Andy is the man for sure.
I know you don't do yoga but I found hot vinyasa to hit all the strength, breathing, cardio 2-4 and sometimes my max HR all in 60 minutes. It's also helping with my neuro-plasticity because each class is slightly different and we have to listen to cues and perform the action rather quickly. So I feel like the speed, strength and balance required gives both body and brain an excellent workout using deep, steady, nasal breathing. 👍🏻👍🏻
Instead of wasting time on memes and other funny videos etc.. your videos are resourceful and productive for building stepping stones for beneficial habits.
The best way to understand your body and how it works AND how to influence it. Can you do an episode on kidney stones as the subject seems vast and i cant find reliable info online! Thank you!
Grateful for the information every podcast contains! A lot of preparation to present this information to the Public at zero cost, grateful. Listenings for 2 years or more now.
Such a huge fan and always greatful for your delivery and teachings. I work at a company in Asheville, NC called Sensorium Neuro Wellness. I think you would have an incredibly insightful and educational conversation with the men I work under, Cameron Allen and Dr. Jojo Yonce. They're dedicated to cutting costs while raising benefits and their approach to wellness is unlike anyone elses. Cheers to all you do and all you stand for 🙌
Rating: 7.8/10 In Short: Galpin Fitness Summary, Neat! Notes: A neat podcast that functioned as a summary/review for the previous galpin fitness series. Huberman does a nice job mentioning things he has started doing and making the tools and mechanisms that we learned about more relevant and real. This podcast is an example of how this kind of education is reinforcing and also makes science more translatable to real people. It puts the things we have heard already into stories and helps people to remember certain things, like for example from listening to this while working and previously listening to galpin series almost a year ago, a few things I remember from hubermans stories are; workout 'Snacks', creatine and supplements--when they are working for hub he continues, and isn't afraid to put them away. Physiological sigh--again, this is repeated in SO MANY podcasts about reducing stress and good for end of workouts to slow body down and for recovery. Also low reps, zone 2 cardio, things that are somewhat 'duh' to me at this point since I've heard them multiple times.
I listen to this at work and struggle to absorb Andrew's amazing content whilst multitasking. I'd love written content or shorter videos that summarises key points you make that is easily digestible! Love your work!
Hey Dr. Huberman, would you consider doing an episode on tools to do leading up to and during a long intense bout of mental effort (ie an exam). Mine are usually 3 hours. And maybe how the tools would change for an exam in the morning, afternoon or evening. Thanks, big fan of the show!
Professor Huberman, I love your podcast and know you are not in this for the money, but I would pay for a condensed pdf summary of the content. The summary facilitates my learning process as a listener through space repetition, considering that I cannot spend time listening to the same episode often, for those nuggets of wisdom.
Dr. Huberman, I really enjoy the series with Dr. Galpin. It motivated me to really pursue working out and gave me the confidence I needed to get into the gym. I am sure it has been covered and I am just very dense, but I have a difficult time coming up with the "warm-up" exercises before lifting. I would really enjoy an in-depth description of what the best way to warm up is. Typically, I just do the row machine or run on the treadmill for 10 minutes, but I find that to be really tedious. I would like some further orientation. I know you briefly covered what you do in this video. I am just struggling to feel like I am doing it properly. Thank you.
Great episode Andrew! You should really consider interviewing Dr. Jim Stoppani, graduate of Harvard and is an award winning scientist. He’s the OG and completely changed the supplement industry 10 years ago with ingredients everyone is talking about nowadays! Alpha GPC, Tyrosine, L-Theanine etc Also he was one of the original scientists to study intermittent fasting. Fascinating man! 😊
14:30 Dr. Andrew practices what he professes! Fitness will allow everyone who practices it a better life. Get that blood flowing! If I was a younger man I would ask Dr. Andrew if I could run with him. I hope he is not alone, when he exercise. We are pack animals.
Would be fantastic if Andrew interviewed Dr Stacy Sims, their common interest in thermoregulation and bringing in her knowledge about the female body and performance - stellar
Thanks Andrew, I listened to all Andy Galpins podcasts with you and thought it'd be great to have these ideas summarised. Good job and thanks as always. 😁
Another amazing episode! Can you do a take on how best to get along with our fellow humans? It’s by far the most difficult part of my day. How to pause when agitated, and not let our emotions get the best of us…and perhaps a few good zingers when all else fails. 😁
Hey man for me it’s important to remember that human connections are good even if they aren’t always pleasant also not taking it personal and trying to let this go asap is also helpful ❤

Thank you so much for your videos, that is absolutely unique and useful. I would really appreciate if you could do the video on how to sustain one’s fitness in extreme circumstances. I mean the war. I live in Kyiv and despite the russian aggression me as well as thousands of Ukrainians try to sustain my health and at least to some extent the fitness. It is really complicated given the situation - starting from night shillings and lack of sleep, emotional overeating and up to just moral prejudices like “how can I do sport if there is a war and people dying around”. But we have to sustain. Would appreciate if you could dedicate some program or a part of the program to that. I know many Ukrainians follow you and would find that really helpful. Thanks
Hello, First of all, I'm a huge fan of Andrew Huberman. At the request of Korean bodybuilding fans, I translated and uploaded a video introducing your content. I translated it out of pure fandom, but if it causes any discomfort, please let me know, and I will take the video down. I will always support you!
I would love for Dr. Huberman to do a video about nootropics, specifically the brand Thesis. I think I like these, but I’m having difficulty figuring out if the benefits are short term or if they actually help our brains. I am also very interested in Dr. Huberman’s thoughts on Alzheimer’s / dementia prevention.
Great episode! Have you thought about doing an episode on injury prevention and recovery? I’m unfortunately very prone to injury in the gym and I seem to spend more time injured than not these days.
The reason you start off with like 15 reps doing weight training is to warm up the muscle adequately. Going to 3-5 reps immediately is rather dangerous, especially if you're a bit older (not in your 20s anymore). I (and many others) do the tried and true of 3-5 sets of approximately 15, 10-12, 8, 5-8, 5 reps.
Another informative podcast as someone who doesn't have any fitness regime but thankfully don't feel I need one. I'm healthy and happy with dog walking. I still enjoy hearing how others train.
Train with a metronome! This was a game changer for myself to execute the workouts routines with precision. (X seconds pushing, Y seconds releasing, Z seconds resting) put it 1 bit pet second, and the chances of either resting too much or to poorly execute a set (try to count exactly 5 seconds while doing the "fail" rep). I also found out that it helps A LOT with keeping the focus (the "line" tool), combined with keeping the phone on airplane mode.
Hello Andrew, I’m so grateful for everything you’re doing. It’s tremendously valuable! Could you please recommend some of your videos if you have any, about fitness plans, food recommendations and supplements that 40+ female needs to acquire. Thank you ❤
Hello, Dr. Hubberman Thank you for your informative discussions, I work as an anesthetic technician in New Zealand and have put many of my colleagues onto your channel. I am interested to know how you would classify swimming. Is it cardio or resistance?
can't wait for the podcast on learning. Im a student here Andrew and have been following your content since a year ago. Im so grateful to you for making these REMARKABLE insights accessible to us, they have helped me deeply. Please release the one on learning soon thanks!
Very useful summary of the Galpin episodes, thank you! A question regarding zone 2 cardio: for people who employ only nasal breathing when running/jogging (e.g. I maintain nasal breathing up to an intensity of approx 5:30 min/km) - what is the best determinant of zone 2, is it heart rate? I sure couldn't have a conversation when running at this speed. Regarding low rep high weight sets - how high is the risk of damaging supportive tissue, joints, etc., or tweaking supporting muscles, especially when getting in and out of execution position (I'm thinking of squats, deadlifts, dumbbell chestpress, weighted pullups - wrists, infraspinatus, are my own areas of problems) - and any advice how to mitigate these risks? Thanks in advance, and congrats on maintaining the most consistently great podcast available.
Thanks as always @hubermanlab - Quick Q on zone 2 exercise. I've read elsewhere that you need to do at least approx 45 mins in one session to get the full benefits of improved mitochondria etc. Does it matter if my Zone is split over shorter sessions? I'm thinking 20-30 minute bike rides to work, 30 minutes brisk walking the dog etc. Many thanks, Dan.
Professor since you have started enjoying low rep training, may I suggest Pavel Tsatsoline as your next guest. His legendary program power to the people has all the benefits you mentioned.
Thank you Dr. Huberman for this wonderful information! I believe there shouldn’t be any changes in tools and protocols for women, but please let us know if there are any.
Hi . I am from Uzbekistan Thanks for this kind of useful podcasts. By the help of this podcast i am improving my speaking listening and other skill and knowledge. Thanks you by my deep heart.❤
Huberman! Im an autodidactic human performance coach..you are in the parthenon of pedagogical masters..my Monday means class in session…just gotta get you deadlifting. Hex bar could be good for your phenotype
Please do a podcast with Sally Norton on oxalates. No one wants to talk about! I’ve been detoxing from for 4 months. My body is calcified in and out and head to toe. Her book is Toxic Superfoods
The world's a better place with Hubberman in it. Simply is.

I'm in my 50s and working every day to have a better life and I'm so grateful to dr. Huberman (and his guests) for sharing a profound and immensely articulate knowledge in a way that's bearable and affordable for everybody. I'm used to listen his podcast during my evening 5k fast walk and it's such a pleasure, every time.
This along with Dr. Galpin's series has been foundational in my exercise. I appreciate it very much, Dr. Huberman. You're truly changing lives.
This is the third 'cliff notes' episode I've listened to lately (the others being the sleep and fitness toolkits) and while I love the longer format deep dives and guest episodes, I'm so thankful for these episodes that concisely summarize the actionable steps for achieving lasting, positive health and fitness routines.
ma'am this is an hour and a half, cliff nots would be 10 minutes
Andrew is the man. Hope I can shake his hand and thank him for his priceless information and contributions to science some day.
I actually got to shake his hand and tell him thank you for his podcast on top of a waterfall in Yosemite last month when I was hiking with a few friends. Cool experience.
❤
Absolutely essential knowledge for most people to stay healthy and functional for the rest of their lives. I listen to your podcasts all the time on the bus, on the tram, anywhere. I find them very helpful. Thank you for your contribution to the world!
I'm also very grateful to him🔥

@@mahdikhalilimehr3478Zone 2 cardio is a type of exercise ,like jogging, in which your heart rate is 60%-70% of your maximum heart rate (MHR). So zone 2 will feel like a light exercise that you can continue for a prolonged period of time.Moreover, it is more effective at fat loss than most exercises.
Any Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners out there who may be able to help me access where this falls in the fitness regimen? Zone 2 Cardio, Resistance training, Strength? Does it check off any of these markers? I train at different levels of intensity 4 days a week. Would love to count it in my time spent somewhere. Probably Zone 2... but possibly other as well.

Here are some ways to take action on the key points you mentioned to improve your fitness:
* **Incorporate zone 2 cardio into your daily routine.** Zone 2 cardio is a type of exercise that is done at a moderate intensity, where you are able to talk in complete sentences but not sing. You can do zone 2 cardio by walking, running, biking, or swimming.
* **Do low-repetition pure strength work.** This type of strength training involves lifting heavy weights for a few repetitions. You can do low-repetition pure strength work with a variety of exercises, such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows.
* **Dedicated strength training.** Strength training is important for maintaining muscle size and strength throughout life, especially after 40. You can do strength training at home or at a gym.
* **Exercise snacks.** Exercise snacks are short bursts of physical activity that can be done throughout the day. Examples of exercise snacks include taking a brisk walk, doing a few push-ups or sit-ups, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
* **The physiological sigh technique.** The physiological sigh technique is a breathing technique that can be used to enhance fitness and recovery. To do the physiological sigh technique, simply take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale slowly and completely through your mouth.
* **Calming breathing at the end of every workout.** Calming breathing at the end of every workout can enhance recovery and promote adaptation. To do calming breathing, simply sit or lie down in a comfortable position and focus on your breath. Take slow, deep breaths in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
* **Setting boundaries.** Setting boundaries is important for ensuring that you have enough time and energy to exercise. This may mean saying no to social engagements or other commitments.
* **Using tools like smartphones, omega-3 fatty acids, and creatine.** Smartphones can be used to track your fitness progress and to find workout programs. Omega-3 fatty acids and creatine are supplements that can enhance fitness and performance.
* **Nutrition and training fasted or fed.** Nutrition and training fasted or fed are two factors that can affect your fitness results. It is important to experiment to find what works best for you.
* **Incorporating different exercise patterns.** There are many different types of exercise, such as cardio, strength training, and flexibility training. It is important to incorporate a variety of exercises into your fitness routine to get the best results.
I hope this gives you some ideas on how to take action on the key points you mentioned. It is important to remember that everyone is different, so what works for one person may not work for another. It is important to experiment to find what works best for you and to listen to your body.
@@jonmeisburg Absolutely great summary and explanation of the key points! Have done this with ChatJPT?
The number one scientific podcast on the internet. Experts in every field, there will never be another channel with the abundance of information presented clearly for everyone at no cost. Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to the weekly uploads.
My exercise snack for this podcast is to squat anytime I hear ‘Dr. Andy Galpin’ Fun. Playful. Effective.
Love it
Thank you for giving me a giggle... And an idea haha
Thank you for taking the time to prepare this summary of the series with Dr. Galpin. Massive thank you for dedicating so much of your time to your social media platforms/channels. Seeing how popular you have become makes me truly happy, you deserve all the recognition and praise.
Every time I watch long form content by Dr Andrew, I realize that I don't feel the time passing watching for hours, because I'm very focused and taking notes, the time flies 🎉 thank you Dr, all of this info will help me, and help my family members and team members to improve their health ❤.
I have one tip for zone 2 cardio, if learned from my coach that works for me to know I am in an aerobic state, its when my lips start to dry a little bit, so I understood that is an indicator when your body is using fat rather than glucose to fuel your body. Anyways
Stay fit and be happy 💯
Bless you, Dr. Huberman. I skew on the older side and have consistently injured myself when starting an exercise/weight routine. Knees begin to suck after age 60 for some of us… would appreciate an episode that addresses ways to adapt activities for arthritic joints. Important to stay active, but not to the point of injury! You are an inspiration. And PS- I’ve been listening/exercising regularly for the past 9 months…INJURY FREE! (Knock on wood!)
This is my favor Huberman episode so far, because it conveys a lot of useful information in a concise way. I don't usually have time to listen to full episodes. I hope Dr. Huberman will consider offering more episodes like this one that summarize content from many, longer episodes in a concise way. The links to the more detailed episodes are helpful for when I am interested in learning more.
Recently got problems with falling asleep. However, several subsequent physiological sighs helped me to turn off anxious thought and fall asleep faster.
Thank you Professor, for your intent to give us the best 0 cost tools for everyday life.
Hello Dr Huberman, just wanted to say thank you for all your contributions. I discovered your podcasts a year ago because I was suffering from insomnia following the death of my beloved 13 year old dog. Your tools helped me enormously , specially NSDR with Liam wich I still do till this day. I am a big fan and regular listener of your podcast, you have really made a positive impact in my life, I can’t thank you enough.
All the best, wish you a happy, healthy life.
As a life long traditional martial arts practitioner I could not help but notice how much of our training : Ibuki breathing - bowing at the dojo entrance are in line with these tips. I love it!
Phew. I was hoping someone would summarize those Galpin episodes! and Andrew Delivers!

Can you make a podcast on diabete type 2 or how to get rid of high sugar in blood. What to eat or not. At a certain point of pre-diabete we do not know what to eat and how to stay healthy. Thank you for your podcasts. They are essential to all of us!
Hi Dr. Huberman! I’ve been making incremental changes to my lifestyle for the past few years thanks to your easily digestible podcasts. I have been able to overcome the worst of the university blues while maintaining my fitness goals and working towards my biggest ambitions. I am so thankful for you!
I have a suggestion for a guest in a future episode. Myself and many other people living with chronic autoimmune diseases would benefit from a conversation between you and Dr. Terry Wahls. She is well cited for her clinical trials and publications in diet interventions for MS patients. Along with you, she was really changed my life so it would be dream to hear you two talk science and protocol!
Enjoy training hard-love! I'm 60 years old and have been ,physically active since high school, at 60 I have rediscovered enjoying training hard, but I had to quit using alcohol. Before giving up alcohol training was a chore I had to get through so I could have my wine. Thank you for all of your wonderful content.
I haven't seen this much quality information on health & fitness anywhere else on UA-cam.
This is truly a public sercive in video form.
Thank you, Huberman, for consistently bringing in experts and providing content that bridges the gap between science and practical application. I'm confident that this episode will offer valuable tools to supercharge our fitness journey and lead us to new heights of physical excellence.
I'm excited to listen and implement the science-supported strategies shared in this episode to accelerate my fitness goals and achieve peak performance.
PLEASE make an episode on how to strengthen/heal the muscles related to repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel, or any physical injuries caused by working at the office and sitting in a chair for extended periods. EXCELLENT episode here thanks a lot
Such a genuine man. Nothing fake or forced about his honest face.
Super Authentic person, you can't fake that! ❤
Thank you, Dr. Huberman.
I love your channel because the content is backed by science. Grateful to you and your team.
I absolutely loved the 6 part series with Dr. Galpin.🙏🏾
Hello Dr. Huberman, would it be possible to do an episode about fear and how to manage it while having to focus on what you are doing? I am a rock and mountain climber and I find the concept of fear the most important part of these sports. I would be highly interested to learn some underlying neuroscience principles about it. Thank you ❤
Please
FOR ANYONE WONDERING ABOUT THE 3-5 Protocol please read this.
What Dr. Huberman is describing is called "Starting Strength" Training.
This form of training is to build strength with compound exercises.
Its the easiest way to build strength on your body because the program is simple.
The Starting Strength Program is as described :
Linear Novice Progression =
4 exercises total : Barbell Squat , Overhead Press, Bench Press, Deadlift.
These exercises target the most muscles in your body in one movement.
(You alternate bench press + overhead press per workout, equaling to 3 exercises total per workout)
Programming consist of 3-4 workouts per week.
SQUAT : (reps x sets x weight)
10 x 1 x 45 (Olympic barbell weight)
5 x 1 x (Addition Weight)
3 x 1 x (Addition Weight)
2 x 1 x (Addition Weight)
5 x 3 x (Workset Weight)
Bench Press : (reps x sets x weight)
10 x 1 x 45 (Olympic barbell weight)
5 x 1 x (Addition Weight)
3 x 1 x (Addition Weight)
2 x 1 x (Addition Weight)
5 x 3 x (Workset Weight)
*This alternates to Overhead Press*
Deadlift : (reps x sets x weight)
5 x 1 x 135 (2 x45lb plates)
3 x 1 x (Addition Weight)
2 x 1 x (Addition Weight)
5 x 1 x (Workset Weight)
3-5 Minutes of rest per Workset
Each workout session you add 5lbs to each Workset, and eventually you wont be able to do 5lbs jumps so you go to 2.5lbs jumps.
Progressively overloading your work sets.
For reference, I am a 25yo Male whos been overweight my entire life (currently I'm 245lbs due to mental health struggles and disorders) I started doing this program a few years back and I've never been stronger in my entire life. I took before and after pictures of my progress within 3 months and I've never seen my muscles look so good (I wasn't ripped by any means but I could see my muscles for the first time in my whole life) . Its a simple program that requires little to no thinking because there's only 4 workouts you need to learn. I encourage everyone to try Starting Strength Training. If you look up starting strength on UA-cam you'll find videos on how to do it. its a great/easy way to build strength. If anyone has any questions, let me know and ill try to help out in anyway I can. This program changed my life.
Thx sir! Congratulations… and best of wishes to you.
What you describe sounds like something I’ve heard about called German volume training! Also very few compound exercises only a few times a week! Check it out.
I suffer migraines 30 mins or so after intense exercise and always assumed it was from “ overheating “ I used to use medication to control it now I use your palm cooling technique to bring my core temperature down it’s more effective than medication. Many thanks for your work
Thank you for giving me back my energy and increasing my awareness. Your podcasts have changed my life.
Mr Huberman you should run for president, people like you is needed, decent, intelligent, knowledgeable and mainly human and kind, please please consider it , it will be a way to serve the country and the world. Thank you kindly God bless you
Thanks for summorizing a bit, eventually I listen to the whole guest series, but this is helping now, thank you

I would like to add my thankfulness and gratitude to the growing mass of gratitude you have acquired.
Your amazing ability to educate and inspire people around the world I am sure has not come for free.
You have taken the forge of your life experiences to help others in incredible ways.
Saving and improving lives as you do is an exemplary aspect of humanity that gives me pride in our species in a time where this is so vary important.
I think we will be ok.

Thank you Mr. Huberman for everything that you do.
I will say that the Galpin series and your optimal protocol episode has been transformational for my own health and fitness.
Its been proven in the blood tests. Thank you for your continued efforts in sharing scientific information to help us live a more sustainable and healthy life!!
Andrew Huberman, thank you very much for your releases. You said everything right about training the heart and improving physical fitness.
It would be amazing if you could do a podcast on Rhodiola Rosea! I actually was surprised that you haven't mentioned it earlier and wanted to propose this idea in the comments to other videos of yours lol. So glad you tried it yourself and brought it up. I use it for an enhanced athletic output too but also as an (imho) incredible nootropic. Would be cool if you could make a podcast on all of its effects. Thank you for your work dr. Huberman!
Thanks Andrew, for the super content. You have just explained why it feels great to meditate for 10 minutes post resistance training.
Thanks doc for what you do. Just started watching your videos. The few videos I've watched so far are a huge eye opener for me. We typically get 5 to 15min with our PCP. Having hours with you is a game changer.
Hey Dr Huberman.
Are you and Dr Galpin able to do a podcast on what the data says regarding training and weightlifting on children and adolescents? When it’s safe to start, how the training should be different in the different stages of adolescence, and safety concerns regarding resistance training and it’s potential effect on the growth plates? I think that would speak to all of your listeners who have children and are getting them involved in sports.
As a physician, I really appreciate all of your data driven information!
Thanks,
Eddie
What an era to be alive! Thank you doctor
I'm half way through and need to go back to the beginning to start counting how many times you said "Dr Andy Galpin" lol. Just picking Doc, Andy is the man for sure.
I appreciate the comprehensive overview in this video. The detail included and review of previous episodes was very informative. Thank you!
I know you don't do yoga but I found hot vinyasa to hit all the strength, breathing, cardio 2-4 and sometimes my max HR all in 60 minutes.
It's also helping with my neuro-plasticity because each class is slightly different and we have to listen to cues and perform the action rather quickly. So I feel like the speed, strength and balance required gives both body and brain an excellent workout using deep, steady, nasal breathing. 👍🏻👍🏻
Instead of wasting time on memes and other funny videos etc.. your videos are resourceful and productive for building stepping stones for beneficial habits.
The best way to understand your body and how it works AND how to influence it. Can you do an episode on kidney stones as the subject seems vast and i cant find reliable info online! Thank you!
good suggestion
Grateful for the information every podcast contains! A lot of preparation to present this information to the Public at zero cost, grateful. Listenings for 2 years or more now.
Thanks for a breakdown and review of the Omnibus series with Dr Galpin.
Mr Huberman, I I will be immensely grateful if you make a video about Tourette's or tics disorders.
I feel like Dr. Huberman is the type who would enjoy Brazilian Jiujitsu
Such a huge fan and always greatful for your delivery and teachings. I work at a company in Asheville, NC called Sensorium Neuro Wellness. I think you would have an incredibly insightful and educational conversation with the men I work under, Cameron Allen and Dr. Jojo Yonce. They're dedicated to cutting costs while raising benefits and their approach to wellness is unlike anyone elses. Cheers to all you do and all you stand for 🙌

In Short: Galpin Fitness Summary, Neat!
Notes: A neat podcast that functioned as a summary/review for the previous galpin fitness series. Huberman does a nice job mentioning things he has started doing and making the tools and mechanisms that we learned about more relevant and real. This podcast is an example of how this kind of education is reinforcing and also makes science more translatable to real people. It puts the things we have heard already into stories and helps people to remember certain things, like for example from listening to this while working and previously listening to galpin series almost a year ago, a few things I remember from hubermans stories are; workout 'Snacks', creatine and supplements--when they are working for hub he continues, and isn't afraid to put them away. Physiological sigh--again, this is repeated in SO MANY podcasts about reducing stress and good for end of workouts to slow body down and for recovery. Also low reps, zone 2 cardio, things that are somewhat 'duh' to me at this point since I've heard them multiple times.
You are truly something special, making a real difference for a lot of people. Much, much appreciated. 😊
I never write comments on videos, but I had to say-your content is gold Andrew.
I listen to this at work and struggle to absorb Andrew's amazing content whilst multitasking. I'd love written content or shorter videos that summarises key points you make that is easily digestible! Love your work!
Ask him to define “politically correct.”
There's nothing about correct that should politically be in the same domain
Hey Dr. Huberman, would you consider doing an episode on tools to do leading up to and during a long intense bout of mental effort (ie an exam). Mine are usually 3 hours. And maybe how the tools would change for an exam in the morning, afternoon or evening. Thanks, big fan of the show!
Professor Huberman, I love your podcast and know you are not in this for the money, but I would pay for a condensed pdf summary of the content. The summary facilitates my learning process as a listener through space repetition, considering that I cannot spend time listening to the same episode often, for those nuggets of wisdom.
Thanks! You’re a Saint, Sir.
Dr. Huberman, I really enjoy the series with Dr. Galpin.
It motivated me to really pursue working out and gave me the confidence I needed to get into the gym.
I am sure it has been covered and I am just very dense, but I have a difficult time coming up with the "warm-up" exercises before lifting. I would really enjoy an in-depth description of what the best way to warm up is. Typically, I just do the row machine or run on the treadmill for 10 minutes, but I find that to be really tedious.
I would like some further orientation. I know you briefly covered what you do in this video. I am just struggling to feel like I am doing it properly.
Thank you.
Great episode Andrew! You should really consider interviewing Dr. Jim Stoppani, graduate of Harvard and is an award winning scientist.
He’s the OG and completely changed the supplement industry 10 years ago with ingredients everyone is talking about nowadays! Alpha GPC, Tyrosine, L-Theanine etc
Also he was one of the original scientists to study intermittent fasting. Fascinating man! 😊
14:30 Dr. Andrew practices what he professes! Fitness will allow everyone who practices it a better life. Get that blood flowing! If I was a younger man I would ask Dr. Andrew if I could run with him. I hope he is not alone, when he exercise. We are pack animals.
Would be fantastic if Andrew interviewed Dr Stacy Sims, their common interest in thermoregulation and bringing in her knowledge about the female body and performance - stellar
Thank you Andrew Huberman for teaching us everything about health !
Lactate monitor and heart rate monitors are super helpful for training at the right intensity to illicit endurance adaptations.
Been following your research and work for a few years now, thank you Dr. Huberman for all that you do🙏💪
Dr Huberman, thank you for sharing this valuable information. I am grateful for your contribution to my well-being.
Thanks Andrew, I listened to all Andy Galpins podcasts with you and thought it'd be great to have these ideas summarised. Good job and thanks as always. 😁
Excellent recap of what we learned from previous podcasts. Thank you!
Another amazing episode!
Can you do a take on how best to get along with our fellow humans? It’s by far the most difficult part of my day. How to pause when agitated, and not let our emotions get the best of us…and perhaps a few good zingers when all else fails. 😁
Yes, it's called taking the high road, taking a deep breath or even taking a bong hit bro!
Hey man for me it’s important to remember that human connections are good even if they aren’t always pleasant also not taking it personal and trying to let this go asap is also helpful ❤
cant believe all of this information available here for free. thank you andrew and the team. really hope that this would be continue.

Thank you so much for your videos, that is absolutely unique and useful. I would really appreciate if you could do the video on how to sustain one’s fitness in extreme circumstances. I mean the war. I live in Kyiv and despite the russian aggression me as well as thousands of Ukrainians try to sustain my health and at least to some extent the fitness. It is really complicated given the situation - starting from night shillings and lack of sleep, emotional overeating and up to just moral prejudices like “how can I do sport if there is a war and people dying around”. But we have to sustain. Would appreciate if you could dedicate some program or a part of the program to that. I know many Ukrainians follow you and would find that really helpful. Thanks
Hello, First of all, I'm a huge fan of Andrew Huberman.
At the request of Korean bodybuilding fans, I translated and uploaded a video introducing your content.
I translated it out of pure fandom, but if it causes any discomfort, please let me know, and I will take the video down.
I will always support you!
I would love for Dr. Huberman to do a video about nootropics, specifically the brand Thesis. I think I like these, but I’m having difficulty figuring out if the benefits are short term or if they actually help our brains.
I am also very interested in Dr. Huberman’s thoughts on Alzheimer’s / dementia prevention.
Great episode! Have you thought about doing an episode on injury prevention and recovery? I’m unfortunately very prone to injury in the gym and I seem to spend more time injured than not these days.
The reason you start off with like 15 reps doing weight training is to warm up the muscle adequately. Going to 3-5 reps immediately is rather dangerous, especially if you're a bit older (not in your 20s anymore). I (and many others) do the tried and true of 3-5 sets of approximately 15, 10-12, 8, 5-8, 5 reps.
Another informative podcast as someone who doesn't have any fitness regime but thankfully don't feel I need one. I'm healthy and happy with dog walking. I still enjoy hearing how others train.
Train with a metronome! This was a game changer for myself to execute the workouts routines with precision. (X seconds pushing, Y seconds releasing, Z seconds resting) put it 1 bit pet second, and the chances of either resting too much or to poorly execute a set (try to count exactly 5 seconds while doing the "fail" rep).
I also found out that it helps A LOT with keeping the focus (the "line" tool), combined with keeping the phone on airplane mode.
Video with captions instead of *auto-generated* ones are so better!
Hello Andrew, I’m so grateful for everything you’re doing. It’s tremendously valuable! Could you please recommend some of your videos if you have any, about fitness plans, food recommendations and supplements that 40+ female needs to acquire. Thank you ❤
Would you consider doing an episode on the different supplements you mention, only other alternatives that exists in Europe?😊 Love your work!❤️
❤
Hello, Dr. Hubberman
Thank you for your informative discussions, I work as an anesthetic technician in New Zealand and have put many of my colleagues onto your channel.
I am interested to know how you would classify swimming. Is it cardio or resistance?
can't wait for the podcast on learning. Im a student here Andrew and have been following your content since a year ago. Im so grateful to you for making these REMARKABLE insights accessible to us, they have helped me deeply. Please release the one on learning soon thanks!
Very useful summary of the Galpin episodes, thank you!
A question regarding zone 2 cardio: for people who employ only nasal breathing when running/jogging (e.g. I maintain nasal breathing up to an intensity of approx 5:30 min/km) - what is the best determinant of zone 2, is it heart rate? I sure couldn't have a conversation when running at this speed.
Regarding low rep high weight sets - how high is the risk of damaging supportive tissue, joints, etc., or tweaking supporting muscles, especially when getting in and out of execution position (I'm thinking of squats, deadlifts, dumbbell chestpress, weighted pullups - wrists, infraspinatus, are my own areas of problems) - and any advice how to mitigate these risks?
Thanks in advance, and congrats on maintaining the most consistently great podcast available.
Thanks as always @hubermanlab - Quick Q on zone 2 exercise. I've read elsewhere that you need to do at least approx 45 mins in one session to get the full benefits of improved mitochondria etc. Does it matter if my Zone is split over shorter sessions? I'm thinking 20-30 minute bike rides to work, 30 minutes brisk walking the dog etc. Many thanks, Dan.
Professor since you have started enjoying low rep training, may I suggest Pavel Tsatsoline as your next guest. His legendary program power to the people has all the benefits you mentioned.
Thanks Andrew! The respiratory bits were something new for me. Going to give it a shot.
Thank you Dr. Huberman for this wonderful information! I believe there shouldn’t be any changes in tools and protocols for women, but please let us know if there are any.
Hi . I am from Uzbekistan
