Thank you so much for this conversation with Martha Beck! I usually don't listen to/view your podcast when I'm low on energy, because I really want to get all the info, but today I did. I listened to all of it in one go and while listening and now I feel energized and at peace. I've listened to so many hours of your content and interviews, but this conversation was really special. I feel strangely touched by it (goosebumps!) , which is not normal for my science oriented mind. Thank you both for being so open and vulnerable. I hope you both live long and prosper in all of your endeavors
I was at the edge of my seat this whole episode while watching it on TV. I cannot believe we reached a point where we're talking about this openly, and on a neuroscience podcast! Humanity is going somewhere exciting and awesome very soon and I am so excited to witness it and feel it.
Andrew, if you're seeing this, I want to thank you for this particular episode. I've been a regular consumer of your podcast for long and when that ugliness online happened I was outraged and quite disgusted at how people were treating you. The fact that you continue to bring yourself with equal or more love, MORE vulnerability, MORE Openness and display an entirely unconditional dedication to no-cost education for people like me...... this makes you one of my personal heroes. I've always marveled at your knowledge and your teaching method and to learn that you're a top person too just makes it all so much more meaningful for me. Big thanks always. Taking notes always.
Hi Andrew...I live in Pakistan...in a very small village where even electricity is not proper..mobile signals are dependent on luck...but I am blessed to be student of professor at Stanford..may God bless you with your endeavors..I really appreciate the way you work for spreading best knowledge available to you...lots of prays..
"Let me fall... the one I will become will catch me!" - stunningly poigniant. Thank you both for taking the time to do this interview. What a beautiful human connection to witness.
My FAVORITE podcast yet! it was so incredible to see Huberman being so vulnerable, free, open, funny - it really seemed like he wasn't worry about judgement. he seemed sooooo comfortable with Dr. Beck which is just a testament to how special she must be! such a smart woman!
I'm a huge fan Andrew. And as 45 year old Christian man with a very sketchy, violent, and drug filled past, I just want to say this. I've never heard of Dr Beck before playing this video, and I will never forget her name henceforth. What an amazing woman! I can relate with almost every angle she came from, and almost every turn the this conversation took correlated with my experience in my own life and growth and healing. Amazing amazing amazing. Keep doing what you're doing. It is incredibly beneficial.
I can definitely agree with you on that, this podcast has introduced me to so many new people whose name and wisdom will forever be etched into my mind. God bless you.
I have watched this 3x. I grew up Mormon and I have a son with Down syndrome. I’ve loved Martha since Expecting Adam. She is so authentic it scares me although it feels like utter liberation. Thank you for having her as a guest!
This episode itself is proof that there is always hope for humanity - because humans like you guys exist to have this conversation. You always thank us for our interest in science, thank you Andrew for your interest in humanity x
Martha enabled me to leave a very long unhappy marraige 12 years ago. She’s such an authentic soul. Im now very careful about who I let into my life but I’m never lonely. Through their podcasts Martha and Rowan keep me connected with my true self. My relationships are better and I am finally happy in my own skin. Finding Martha was like coming home.
Andrew!!! Thank you for reminding me how amazing, intelligent and inspiring Martha Beck is. My respect for YOU grows and grows as you continue to provide the highest quality education for our entire Beings. Thank you for sharing your heart, mind and soul with us. It’s an honor to be here.🌻
Martha Beck is one of the wisest peope I know. Her teachings literally saved my life, and her kindness and vision showed me the way back home to my true self. Thank you for inviting her to your wonderful platform, dear Andrew! May many people heal because of this.
I love this podcast!! I also have a child with Down Syndrome, and she is honestly one of my greatest blessings! She helps me slow down and see the joy in literally every thing! She also expresses so much love toward me, I can't help but to feel loved by God...He sent me the most amazing child I could have ever asked for!
Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. I have no words...I've seen a side of you that only made me respect you more than I already did. Martha has a way of bringing that out in people, but the person has to be open. You are open. Thanks for this. I loved everything about it.
Please remember the text below: That was, without a doubt, the most authentic, powerful, and resonant conversation I have had the privilege of listening to in as long as I can remember. Thank you, Dr. Huberman, for not only beautifully facilitating that conversation, but also making it so much richer by sharing your own experiences, challenges, and growth. And thank you to Dr. Beck for being such a beacon of light, hope, and authenticity. I can't thank you both enough for this conversation and the clarity it has brought to my life already. I've been looking for an epiphany or breakthrough during what has been a bit of a challenging stretch, and I believe you both just provided it. Thank you both for everything you do.
Only 15min in, and I already have to say that Dr's guidance thru the perfect day exercise is incredibly helpful....she clarified some elements I didn't even realize I'd understood inaccurately.... it's not the "perfect, ideal day", it's "an ordinary day in your perfect life"....HUGE difference with this adjustment alone, both in the visualization and the story formatting.....so helpful to hear her coaching in real time 👍👍
This is the first podcast I have ever seen in one go end to end. It is so incredible to hear you both talk about relationships, eastern knowledge, truth and love. I was hooked. Dr. Martha Beck is an incredible person, I have learned so much about myself and about the world from this interview. Thank you so much for this video.
Wow!! My heart is dancing!!! My soul is signing! THANK YOU both for speaking so honestly, openly, lovingly, from a place of curiosity and awe for this human experience, this cosmic game. I’ve experienced deep suffering and sadness, and thought about death many times, and then, among the many miracles of life, which we find all along, around every corner, outside and within, I find you both and all I can express is my deep gratitude for being you, thank you!!! I love you. ✨💛
I was particularly touched by how Dr. Huberman is able to embrace his vulnerability and talk openly-though without unnecessary scandal-about his own journeys and the things he wants to improve in his life. It’s an excellent example for us all: you can be intelligent, brilliant, and successful, yet still be humble and openly acknowledge that you haven’t mastered all aspects of your life. His approach to continuously pursuing personal growth is truly inspiring. Regarding topics I’d like Dr. Huberman to cover in his podcast, I would love to see an episode (or even a series of episodes) related to pets, especially dogs. Why do we love them so much? What happens in our brains when we see or think about our dogs? What were the co-evolutionary mechanisms that produced this special relationship between dogs and humans? What are the scientifically proven benefits of owning dogs? Are there any drawbacks?
Andrew is really coming into his own and increasingly showing his authentic self on the podcast. We're here for the science, but we are also here for you Dr. Huberman! I love the integration of evidence based protocols with lived experience and creative expression.
I needed to come to UA-cam just to write this comment Dr.Huberman throughout the years you have interviewed so many amazing people who have shared so much valuable information, but I need to thank you for inviting and introducing us to this amazing soul. I will definitely be watching Dr. Beck’s podcast again. Only this interview and Dr.Lembeke have compel me to come watch instead of listen. Thank you for creating this wonderful channel.
This is one the best interviews I’ve listened to in a longtime. I spent my entire Life always gave more and I have two dogs and alone. I am much happier and healthier. ❤
I LOVE ALL Andrew Huberman's podcast AND ALL other podcasts he takes part in - BUT - NONE have been even similar to this one ! ! ! I'm so grateful that I happened to come by this one ! ! !
Dr. Huberman, at risk of coming off like a fan-girl (woman, actually) I want to tell you how much I appreciate you. I just got back from my morning walk during which I finished listening to this episode with Martha Beck, whom I also follow and deeply appreciate. I first heard you when my oldest friend ("since we were born!" we say) recommended your podcast to me a couple of years ago. The first episode I heard was the one on nicotine and since then I have been hooked . On nicotine. (Kidding.) I texted my since-born friend telling her that I thought I was in love. The brains get me. I am wildly impressed by your rigor, commitment, enthusiasm, and curiosity. What inspired me to "leave a comment" (and I don't recall doing this before, in any case) was the additional humanity and vulnerability you showed on this one. And I could relate to a lot of what you said about relationships - and a few other things, too. I started to feel a pull toward reaching out to say something, but you clinched it with the pigeons. I love them too, and most people find this quirky (But I don't care!)! I lived in NYC for a while, and spent a lot of time observing them (and writing haiku about them, as it were.) Keep doing what you're doing, and whomever you end up finding, breathing softly next to you in your future mountain home (even if it's just another bulldog) will be a lucky lady (or dog), no doubt. With gratitude, Sarah
There was a really special quality to this episode. It felt like being allowed to listen to a conversation between two friends. The mutual respect, enjoyment of one another's company, and compassion for one another was palpable in this episode. It felt like you were both free to just be genuinely yourselves and to enjoy the moment, and it gave this episode a really great emotional quality that I'm still just soaking in and appreciating. This episode was awesome, thank you both.
Andrew, I have been watching your podcast for at least 3 years, highly recommended by a client. I absolutely love it! As a wellness practioner, I eat this stuff up! It's my passion and my vocation.❤This interview in particular compelled me to comment. Your kindness and sincerity to Dr. Martha was so pronounced. I could feel you using the time with her to connect to some of your own difficulties and it was inspiring and uplifting. Many men lack vulnerability and your willingness to open up, share feelings and engage this way was truly admirable. I hope you continue to share this side of you. And more importantly, self-preservation and self-love.....for ALL of us! 🥰🥰 Thank You!
One of the greatest podcast episodes ever , so engaging and real, and it's really great and refreshing to see this side of Andrew Huberman and Dr Martha Beck is just a real gem❤❤❤
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable s0urce here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, blizmyco. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
This episode made me feel all the feelings. Dr. Martha Beck is a true gem. Wow. Best podcast ever. Being vulnerable is the way. Being truthful is the way. Integrity is the way.
One of the most important lessons I've learned in my life, and what Martha reinforces in this podcast, is that we have zero control over someone else's emotions or emotional reactions. As I have slowly let myself open up and express my own needs I find that those around me might be disappointed or upset, but if real love is there they will eventually come to terms with their own feelings and see me in a new light. It does change the relationship, but in my experience it's for the better. Thank you for this episode!
so cute when he said talking to martha beck was in his "perfect day". i shed a tear. so wholesome. I know I'm going to like this episode. (listening to huberman on a rainy monday morning is part of my perfect day)
This conversation was and will be life changing for me. When Martha shared her experience during surgery .. "This is how you should be feeling ALL the time" ... ❤❤❤
So refreshing to hear this conversation on Huberman Lab Podcast with Dr. Martha Beck. The idea of listening to and trusting one’s body, embracing suffering, and aligning with personal truth through feeling-rather than external expectations-has always resonated deeply with me. Yet, when I’ve shared the importance of these values, they’ve often been challenged, leaving me questioning, even resisting, and at times feeling wrong for choosing this path. Each time I ignored my own inner guidance, the consequence was profound: pain that manifested physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Despite seeking help, no doctor or therapist could pinpoint a solution beyond identifying my nervous system as stuck in freeze. But through presence, self-compassion, and the courage to trust myself, I’m finally beginning to orient and heal. Along the way, I’ve noticed friends and others feel encouraged to explore these values themselves. It’s been beautiful to witness this shift-to see how, when we live in alignment with our own truth, it can create a ripple effect that gently inspires others. May this be a reminder that you are your own most powerful guide, and that true healing often begins with honoring the wisdom within.
Exactly! Your truth is the truth. Your mental reality needs to not be shiftable by physical reality. People love to do that, let the world around them change them. In reality you should let the world inside you change the world outside. Made me realize you can’t live in your desired reality externally until you live it internally.
OH MY GOD! This is like science meets psychology meets philosophy meets sophistication and curiosity I love this curious and honest exchange between these wonderful people. I didnt know what to expect and now it is one of my favorite Hubermanlabs podcast! The thing that she mentions about seeing in a child’s eye is what i have ways noticed about seeing in Andrew’s eyes but i couldn’t explain it. He has the eyes of a curious child!
Dear Dr Huberman, I wait for your episodes weekly on Spotify, today I listened to this episode twice on Spotify, but I had to watch the video on UA-cam, because I wanted to see the facial expressions, the happiness and vulnerability that are heard in the conversation, they are so beautiful, I wanted to see the reflection of your voices on images. Thanks for this episode. Saludos de Chile
Martha’s been a huge influence in my life as well, and it was a life-changing experience to spend time with her at her African STAR retreat in June. I’m just so thrilled that the two of you sat down for this incredible conversation. (and I just *knew* you were on ‘The Team’ she’s long spoken of! ❤️) I do believe there’s hope for humanity if we open more conversations like this one. Thank you Andrew for bringing her to your audience, and for nurturing these kinds of conversations. It’s beautiful to see ❤
I did not expect to enjoy being a fly on the wall for this one as much as I did. It kept coming up in my feed and i kept brushing it aside. I absolutely loved it. I am male, 50 , and in recovery from booze and oxy for about 9 months now; a new personal best as, at around 8 months, i start to think i have it under control and try to pull off the " i can have just one " trick. For anyone suffering a similar delusion, it boils down to understanding that i cannot have the first one. Ever. Big up Huberman Lab Crew! Bless 🙏📿✌️☯️🌷❤️🕉🙏
Congratulations on your progress 🙌 Not in the same league, but I’m 2 months off a horrendous 2.5 year taper off antidepressants. Every day that passes represents success, for me and you! 🥳
@@lyndarandall189 hi thanks for asking ☺️ I still have good days and bad days, but my brain is definitely working better without the ADs 👍 I was prescribed Citalopram and what I desperately needed (but didn’t realise) was HRT, as I was in peri menopause. It just made me feel much worse, but I mistakenly thought it was ‘my anxiety’ intensifying. Horrendous stuff, and yet they prescribe it to children!
@@skippy7208 Hi- YEP! I have been thinking about maybe just need HRT-esp. testosterone, but that's a scary journey as well. Really would need a very educated, EXPERIENCED, practitioner for that ....smh, healthcare system is getting worse as I type this....Stay Strong...
I'm in tears. I watch so much Huberman Podcast & I loved this energy; this honest, fun, delightful conversation. Thank you for opening the door to a world where its not "evil" (as my catholic upbringing has made me believe) to live in my integrity. I found Dr. Martha Beck incredibly fascinating, I don't know that I would have heard as much as I have or rather, taken in as much if it wasn't for Andrew Huberman being such the perfect interviewer for her. The energy is palpable, felt so clearly and I'm basking in it. Thank you both, you've shifted something in me this morning, I am very grateful, if you happen to read this wish you both the absolute best forever more.
Dear Andrew, I have arrived to a moment in my life where I absolutely want to lead with freedom and joy. This episode has given me so much joy!!! I respect and I am deeply grateful for your work. You and Martha have inspired me to continue in my path even though I have no idea where it would lead. I will try the ideal/perfect day exercise!!! Thank you for your vulnerability and openness to share your heart. I am healing from a very painful breakup but listening to you both gives me great hope on the way I look forward to experience love. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! con toda mi alma y corazón gracias infinitas.
The degree to which you make yourself vulnerable, AH, invites us all to do the same. Your guest today was delightful, joyful, smart; I realize I have work to do (in many areas of my life) but thanks to your open hearted discussion, look forward to that work.
Got to the end and I am compelled to comment twice. Laughter is a very accurate reflex to honesty and the joy of truth. This was a sincerely very genuine, brave, fun, and wall breaking conversation, Dr. Huberman. Bravo to you both!
Hi Dr Hubermsn ! I had the same experience with my dog ! It is a profound experience and I hold it dear to my heart. I am tearing for you and totally understand. I can cry at any time if I let myself feel how much I miss my dog. He opened my senses into a higher vibration , gave me his last heart beat in the palm of my hand ( which after a year I can still feel it’s essence ), his divine spirit and nature is always close. I am happy that you experienced something the same in this nature. Im excited to know someone else has experienced this because it’s hard to explain . Heartfelt and deepening within ; energy never dies and the love of your dog will always be felt . Best Wishes to you! I love your podcasts
What a stupendous meaningful conversation between two beautiful souls! And wow! First time I've heard of Dr. Beck and after listening to that I'm smitten! Brilliant, funny, silly, kind, compassionate - she glows with a very discernible energy that draws one in like a moth to a flame.
Thank you having Dr. Beck on! Love her!! I married the love of my life last year 3/23/23 in Hawaii (the most magical week of my life). One of our vows was “Do you both promise to take responsibility for your own happiness”💙💙💙 Traditional wedding vows are garbage😂
@@MarionMM Thanks for your kindness!! 💙💙💙 Have the day and the life you deserve! I can only imagine how spectacular it must be, based on our brief interaction here🤣😘
Andrew, what a once in lifetime podcast! The connection and beyond the words understanding between the two of you are so beautiful! Thank you for showing your vulnerability for other men to see it's ok to do it. And your analysis of punk rock and its inclusiveness is spot on! I love it too❤ I'll never look at you the same way again as, I believe , I've seen the most authentic version of you. 🙌
I loved the entire conversation and am listening again and making notes. Glad that dr Beck talked about prof McGilchrist, who is one of the thinkers I listen to. And the discussion on dogs was so so good for me, I have lived my life with them and learnt from them thank you.
Andrew, this, hands down, has been the most beautiful and transformational podcast I have watched/listned to ever. And I consume probably 4 a week, every week, for at least 10 years. I will admit that I had some recoil to a handful of things that Martha said and yet her explanation of the compassionate witness and having and attuning to integrity in the body, I was able to uncover deep information about my values and beliefs and now have a stepping stone to learning more about myself. Your candid honesty, her authenticity, and your palpable connection with each other were, by themselves, informative and healing. I am quite fond of her and will look much deeper into her work. Might I suggest looking into Dr. Joe Dispenza's and collegues research on the magnetic and electrical nature of heart-brain coherence. His work talks a TON about the light, the "home" and the integrity that Martha speaks about. He also teaches breathing techniques, whicb obviously you know a TON about. Bless you Andrew. Truly, you are a lighthouse for many people.
Dr. Beck might be my favorite guest on your podcast. That’s saying a lot, as you have had many truly wonderful and/or accomplished people. And I admit, I did not know who she was before this episode. But I was immediately drawn in, and knew right away she was going to be someone I would never forget. I was one of your early subscribers, as I was following you even before the podcast. I have listened to every episode at least once, and I listen as soon as they come out. This one was truly special. Thank you.
Thanks Martha and Andrew for making me feel like it is okay to listen to your true self, your authentic self and being in alignment with your authentic self sets you free. That when I feel this isn’t right for me, I have to honor it. I must honor it to truly experience life and my best self for others. Like lifting the veil…. I agree with her, that we truly don’t know what the afterlife will be. No religion can answer that and that is okay to admit. This conversation really shed light on our purpose on the planet in so many ways and how to know you are on the right path. The idea of meeting feelings of suffering with self compassion that will allow you to show love and compassion for others is something I will work towards and this conversation gave me the blueprint. I will definitely read more from Dr. Beck! Thanks for the introduction, Andrew and for your radical openness Dr. Beck!
Just finished this podcast and came here to tell you that this was FAR AND AWAY the best episode I’ve listened to. I became an avid follower after a friend sent me your alcohol episode. Just incredible light. I’ll follow up in a few years if this ends up being true, but it feels like my life has changed significantly.
It took me a week to get through this podcast - I kept on rewatching certain parts several times to really absorb them. And I never wanted the podcast to end. What a treat, what a blessing to be living in the same time with such bright and generous people. Like Martha has said, a lot of us are on the same mission and that gives tremendous hope. I will certainly do my best to align with mine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
After watching hundreds of hours of you talk over the last few years and garnering immeasurable value this episode in particular I’m beyond grateful for. It’s so refreshing and inspiring to see this type of discussion here. Both of you so staunch in your efforts to be true to your experience and reconcile science and our cultural attitudes with the more spiritual and mysterious aspects of existence. It’s reassuring for those of us who have in our lives few or none who are willing to open their heart and mind to experience the world in this way. Thank you also Andrew for being so honest and vulnerable. Sharing parts of yourself with the world so openly takes courage and it empowers others especially men to see how these traits are not opposed to masculinity. I also hope you know your idiosyncrasies are very endearing. Though I don’t really know you, it always brings me joy learning about you as person while you teach. From the bottom of my heart thank you to you and your whole team for what you do ♡
This is so Awesome!!! I’m a Martha Beck certified coach, I had also long benefit from all her teachings, had changed my life, and that of those around me. Love you guys!!! ❤️❤️Thanks for doing all your work for improving the lives of soooo many people ☺️
First video I watch to start my day, hearing the visualization practice at the start confirms I will be following my dreams and moving to the Colorado mountains all the way from South Florida where I have lived my whole life. I tried the practice and had a very similar vision laying with my Minature Pinscher (no bull dogs here). Thank you for these videos Huberman.
I shed several tears during this episode - thanks to both you and Dr. Beck for leading this discussion with such open hearts. You made me think of my bully who passed on in 2020. I loved him so much and love any opportunity to remember him. There are so many other things I can comment about this but I will say this: what a wonderful episode and I'll be looking into Dr. Beck!! Thank you!
Super rare to go through comments and not find one negative one. Truly a statement of how amazing these minds and this conversation is. Thank you both, it’s clear a lot of us needed this.
I love that this is an extremely vulnerable conversation between 2 human beings, talking about their experiences, and being completely honest with themselves!
I’m 36 minutes in and am trying not to mess up my make up as I’m on my way to work and keep crying at the absolute brilliant conversation between you two. What a beautiful way to introduce Dr. Martha Beck. Thank you both for sharing everything you did in this episode.
What a powerful ending. This whole episode gave me goosebumps and so many "mental orgasms" -Thank you both much for gifting us this enlightening and healing wisdom!
I came back here to say…. After listening to this I started reading North Star and Martha Beck is remarkable in her depth and connection…she connects and communicates so deftly. I can see reason for Huberman’s admiration and it’s very cool to see this side of him here. I’m paused.
Listened on Spotify, watched once here and just about to watch again! In less than 24h. Thanks Andrew for being true to yourself! Your laugh after “better, batter and better”, and “going to hell” was delighted to hear, even more to watch! This is why every episode makes your podcast even better!
Thank you Andrew and Martha! I resonate with this conversation immensely. I experienced a TBI with 6 skull fractures and 2 brain bleeds from an assault last summer, where I saw the light mentioned. I was unconscious for 3 days. During that time I visited a realm my soul knew but I did not, where I met God Osiris who offered me an invaluable necklace I did not take. Since then I have experienced heightened intuition, immense gratitude mindset shift, and can see energies, and more. I have gotten to meet several of my spiritual guides and seen them as blue silhouettes. The change in me has caused my marriage to fall apart, and that’s okay. New beginnings! I also resonate with the “feels like a game and this is just my avatar” I feel it daily now. When Martha said “you are here to find your team and tell them they are here as healers” my whole body got goosebumps, and felt as if someone placed a hand on my left cheek at the moment she said that. I am on your team!
The best way to describe my mind since my injury is like my higher self is guiding me, and sending me downloads from the universe that light the path I now walk upon. A few months ago I was “told” I am an energy healer meant to heal others and teach them how to do the same for themselves and others. This conversation only amplified that message. Thank you both so much! I am grateful!

This was by far the most genuine and honest podcast episode I've ever got the chance to listen too. Thank you so much for showing vulnerability and appreciation for one another in ever second of the interview. I will definitely look into Dr. Martha Becks work and read all her books. She's one of a kind. Thanks for inviting her! ♡
Dr. Beck is so empathetic and compassionate that it made Andrew share a lot, much more than usual😊 Great conversation! Made me cry when she was describing compassion to self🤍
The JOY and LOVE shared in this episode is unparalleled 🎉 Thank you both SO MUCH for being yourselves and sharing authentically! My heart swells with belonging, inspiration and admiration 🎉
I see why Martha Beck is at the top of Huberman's List. Martha has so much light in her, easily laughs. Her kindness and levity might mislead one given her credentials. That's a sign of being evolved. Thank you Andrew for your mission of making the highest levels of learning, great minds, available to all of us with a laptop. It was nice to see him somewhat vulnerable here, to see another side that can be as loved as the stoic. The breakfast table was a powerful exercise, and setting up a fish tank with the kids might be the highest goal in life.
This is by far the best episode I experienced in your podcast series. I believe that Martha's quest for authenticity and integrity is a role model that can only benefit the human condition. Thank you for presenting this episode and I hope many more discussions about human "being" will follow.
Just put my Doggo, my Best Friend to sleep after 14 years together. It was august 8th. Start listening to this podcast and of course they talk about dogs. And i thought im going crazy with my loss. But its actually nice to know Andrew And Martha hard similar thoughts even a few years after their pet passings. And as always, thanks for all your work, mr. Huberman.
My favorite podcast I have ever listened to. I never leave comments on anything. This is the first. I listen on Spotify and after listening multiple times and sharing with everyone I know, I came on to UA-cam to watch it. Thank you.
Watching how you allowed yourself to be vulnerable on this podcast, watching how honest and authentic you and Martha were together, solidified my trust in you and your message, Andrew. I do not often watch a 2hour+ podcast, but this was utterly fascinating! I found myself taking notes and feeling uplifted. In these times, finding such rich and useful content is “a pearl of great price.” I cannot thank you enough. You have my utmost admiration for allowing yourself to be so open and true on a public forum. This podcast cleared a new path for me - so much learning! I am deeply appreciative. Please consider having Michael A. Singer on your podcast, if you have not already. Thank you again!
This is one of my favorite episodes of this podcast EVER. To be honest I didn't know who Martha Beck was! I'm so glad to know her thanks to you Andrew!
Please Please Please bring on Antonia Dodge. After listening to Dr.Beck, Antonia Dodge would complement her discussions so much. Antonia Dodge is a true master in systems thinking and has many great insights on persona, ego, and Self. Antonia Dodge is a brilliant master of her craft and I believe this is an area many of the listeners could derive great benefits from. Please bring Antonia Dodge to the show!
This is the 2nd time I have watched this episode. I 100% agree that Martha Beck is a very wonderful person and teacher. I agree with her that you also are living your purpose to educate and also contribute to the attempt to heal our society. Thank you soooo much for your work!!!😊
This was without a once of doubt, the best podcast or even the video that ive seen online that most resonated with me.... beyond recognition. SInce the "Mind blowing and Does not compute moment" ... i knew i was in for something beautiful. I have ADHD and feeling emotions on people and energy is something that ive been blessed with . I have a diferent path but i was alsol blessed with a bit of that "Light" moment, and the feeling of peace you get is astonishing. Thank you Dr. Huberman, for the work and dedication to this venture of podcasting. Im gratefull to you and Dr Martha for sharing the stories and personal life on this video
This podcast has left me in tears. When Andrew tells about how he feels about letting go, that is like, completely 1000% resonated with me. It was like that is who I am in my relationships as well. What Dr. Martha tells after that, thats' a completely different story! Brain just got in rewind and analyze mode. Thank you so much Andrew! That is really a bizarre amount of truth possible for one podcast. Its frightening as well as liberating.
One of the absolute best podcasts I’ve ever watched! Such a heart warming exchange between 2 deeply evolved and inspiring souls… Thank you both!! I especially appreciate the “perfect day“ practice and will definitely be putting that to work in my own life. Sending deep gratitude for the beautiful experience!! ❤

Thank you so much for this conversation with Martha Beck! I usually don't listen to/view your podcast when I'm low on energy, because I really want to get all the info, but today I did. I listened to all of it in one go and while listening and now I feel energized and at peace. I've listened to so many hours of your content and interviews, but this conversation was really special.
I feel strangely touched by it (goosebumps!) , which is not normal for my science oriented mind. Thank you both for being so open and vulnerable. I hope you both live long and prosper in all of your endeavors
A delightful conversation. I loved it. Thanks from Austria!

Thank you Dr Huberman for this special episode.

I was at the edge of my seat this whole episode while watching it on TV. I cannot believe we reached a point where we're talking about this openly, and on a neuroscience podcast! Humanity is going somewhere exciting and awesome very soon and I am so excited to witness it and feel it.
Agreed! Me too! I applaud Andrew's willingness to go into uncharted territory with his full humanity!

Can you give a practical, specific example of something you learnt from the podcast? I can't.😢
Andrew, if you're seeing this, I want to thank you for this particular episode. I've been a regular consumer of your podcast for long and when that ugliness online happened I was outraged and quite disgusted at how people were treating you. The fact that you continue to bring yourself with equal or more love, MORE vulnerability, MORE Openness and display an entirely unconditional dedication to no-cost education for people like me...... this makes you one of my personal heroes. I've always marveled at your knowledge and your teaching method and to learn that you're a top person too just makes it all so much more meaningful for me. Big thanks always. Taking notes always.
Best comment.
I second that... appreciate you Andrew 🫶
Yes!!! I agree 💯
Could not agree more ❤
Bravo! Both to you who write this comment and to YOU Andrew ☀️🇩🇰👌!
Hi Andrew...I live in Pakistan...in a very small village where even electricity is not proper..mobile signals are dependent on luck...but I am blessed to be student of professor at Stanford..may God bless you with your endeavors..I really appreciate the way you work for spreading best knowledge available to you...lots of prays..

Nice one bravo 👏. Greetings from Greece
"Let me fall... the one I will become will catch me!" - stunningly poigniant. Thank you both for taking the time to do this interview. What a beautiful human connection to witness.
Do you know which song they're talking about?
@@camilaescudero1226 it apparently is a poem Martha's son had either refered to or had written.
❤
😁
This single podcast is now my favorite 2.75 hours of the internet!
We saw a different part of Andrew today! More open, more engaged and more at ease… love the frequent laughter!❤
Yeah, they had a great connection and I feel like he felt safe to open up to her and us ❤
I was thinking the same thing, he made me think of Ferdinand the bull.
Agree, I was going to say, he's opening up a lot more, like he said, essential self, less rational.
it was clear he was very excited to be speaking with her, if this podcast taught us anything, he's still "just a guy"
They need to go get a room.
My FAVORITE podcast yet! it was so incredible to see Huberman being so vulnerable, free, open, funny - it really seemed like he wasn't worry about judgement. he seemed sooooo comfortable with Dr. Beck which is just a testament to how special she must be! such a smart woman!
Martha Beck is the most wittiest one. With all her heart committed to wellness of life.
I'm a huge fan Andrew. And as 45 year old Christian man with a very sketchy, violent, and drug filled past, I just want to say this. I've never heard of Dr Beck before playing this video, and I will never forget her name henceforth. What an amazing woman! I can relate with almost every angle she came from, and almost every turn the this conversation took correlated with my experience in my own life and growth and healing. Amazing amazing amazing. Keep doing what you're doing. It is incredibly beneficial.
I can definitely agree with you on that, this podcast has introduced me to so many new people whose name and wisdom will forever be etched into my mind. God bless you.
Yes yes yes!! Thank you ✨💛
I have watched this 3x. I grew up Mormon and I have a son with Down syndrome. I’ve loved Martha since Expecting Adam.
She is so authentic it scares me although it feels like utter liberation.
Thank you for having her as a guest!
This episode itself is proof that there is always hope for humanity - because humans like you guys exist to have this conversation. You always thank us for our interest in science, thank you Andrew for your interest in humanity x

Martha enabled me to leave a very long unhappy marraige 12 years ago. She’s such an authentic soul. Im now very careful about who I let into my life but I’m never lonely. Through their podcasts Martha and Rowan keep me connected with my true self. My relationships are better and I am finally happy in my own skin. Finding Martha was like coming home.
I am blown away by the connection between Andrew and Martha. The podcast has opened up new pathways for me . Thank you
I know that’s right.
I totally agree
Andrew!!! Thank you for reminding me how amazing, intelligent and inspiring Martha Beck is. My respect for YOU grows and grows as you continue to provide the highest quality education for our entire Beings.
Thank you for sharing your heart, mind and soul with us.
It’s an honor to be here.🌻
I also saw the connection. 😊
Martha Beck is one of the wisest peope I know. Her teachings literally saved my life, and her kindness and vision showed me the way back home to my true self. Thank you for inviting her to your wonderful platform, dear Andrew! May many people heal because of this.
I love this podcast!! I also have a child with Down Syndrome, and she is honestly one of my greatest blessings! She helps me slow down and see the joy in literally every thing! She also expresses so much love toward me, I can't help but to feel loved by God...He sent me the most amazing child I could have ever asked for!
Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. I have no words...I've seen a side of you that only made me respect you more than I already did. Martha has a way of bringing that out in people, but the person has to be open. You are open. Thanks for this. I loved everything about it.
Please remember the text below:
That was, without a doubt, the most authentic, powerful, and resonant conversation I have had the privilege of listening to in as long as I can remember. Thank you, Dr. Huberman, for not only beautifully facilitating that conversation, but also making it so much richer by sharing your own experiences, challenges, and growth. And thank you to Dr. Beck for being such a beacon of light, hope, and authenticity. I can't thank you both enough for this conversation and the clarity it has brought to my life already. I've been looking for an epiphany or breakthrough during what has been a bit of a challenging stretch, and I believe you both just provided it. Thank you both for everything you do.
Yes yes yes!! ✨💛
Only 15min in, and I already have to say that Dr's guidance thru the perfect day exercise is incredibly helpful....she clarified some elements I didn't even realize I'd understood inaccurately.... it's not the "perfect, ideal day", it's "an ordinary day in your perfect life"....HUGE difference with this adjustment alone, both in the visualization and the story formatting.....so helpful to hear her coaching in real time 👍👍
Completely agree with you. Excellent
This is the first podcast I have ever seen in one go end to end. It is so incredible to hear you both talk about relationships, eastern knowledge, truth and love. I was hooked. Dr. Martha Beck is an incredible person, I have learned so much about myself and about the world from this interview. Thank you so much for this video.
Wow!! My heart is dancing!!! My soul is signing! THANK YOU both for speaking so honestly, openly, lovingly, from a place of curiosity and awe for this human experience, this cosmic game. I’ve experienced deep suffering and sadness, and thought about death many times, and then, among the many miracles of life, which we find all along, around every corner, outside and within, I find you both and all I can express is my deep gratitude for being you, thank you!!! I love you. ✨💛
I was particularly touched by how Dr. Huberman is able to embrace his vulnerability and talk openly-though without unnecessary scandal-about his own journeys and the things he wants to improve in his life. It’s an excellent example for us all: you can be intelligent, brilliant, and successful, yet still be humble and openly acknowledge that you haven’t mastered all aspects of your life. His approach to continuously pursuing personal growth is truly inspiring.
Regarding topics I’d like Dr. Huberman to cover in his podcast, I would love to see an episode (or even a series of episodes) related to pets, especially dogs. Why do we love them so much? What happens in our brains when we see or think about our dogs? What were the co-evolutionary mechanisms that produced this special relationship between dogs and humans? What are the scientifically proven benefits of owning dogs? Are there any drawbacks?
Andrew is really coming into his own and increasingly showing his authentic self on the podcast. We're here for the science, but we are also here for you Dr. Huberman! I love the integration of evidence based protocols with lived experience and creative expression.
Authentic self? He claims to give all of himself in a relationship and yet it's well known he cheated on 6 women at the same time!
@@ametrineambrosia4929 Did you come here to talk down about him? It's more like a rumor not a well known fact...
I needed to come to UA-cam just to write this comment
Dr.Huberman throughout the years you have interviewed so many amazing people who have shared so much valuable information, but I need to thank you for inviting and introducing us to this amazing soul. I will definitely be watching Dr. Beck’s podcast again. Only this interview and Dr.Lembeke have compel me to come watch instead of listen. Thank you for creating this wonderful channel.
This is one the best interviews I’ve listened to in a longtime. I spent my entire Life always gave more and I have two dogs and alone. I am much happier and healthier. ❤
This episode was on a whole different level-so honest, genuine and beautiful. Thank you both.
I LOVE ALL Andrew Huberman's podcast AND ALL other podcasts he takes part in - BUT - NONE have been even similar to this one ! ! ! I'm so grateful that I happened to come by this one ! ! !
Fell in love with Martha immediately. Stoked to look into her work further. She’s a gem!
Dr. Huberman, at risk of coming off like a fan-girl (woman, actually) I want to tell you how much I appreciate you. I just got back from my morning walk during which I finished listening to this episode with Martha Beck, whom I also follow and deeply appreciate. I first heard you when my oldest friend ("since we were born!" we say) recommended your podcast to me a couple of years ago. The first episode I heard was the one on nicotine and since then I have been hooked . On nicotine. (Kidding.) I texted my since-born friend telling her that I thought I was in love. The brains get me. I am wildly impressed by your rigor, commitment, enthusiasm, and curiosity. What inspired me to "leave a comment" (and I don't recall doing this before, in any case) was the additional humanity and vulnerability you showed on this one. And I could relate to a lot of what you said about relationships - and a few other things, too. I started to feel a pull toward reaching out to say something, but you clinched it with the pigeons. I love them too, and most people find this quirky (But I don't care!)! I lived in NYC for a while, and spent a lot of time observing them (and writing haiku about them, as it were.) Keep doing what you're doing, and whomever you end up finding, breathing softly next to you in your future mountain home (even if it's just another bulldog) will be a lucky lady (or dog), no doubt. With gratitude, Sarah
Well put Sarah, - thanks
There was a really special quality to this episode. It felt like being allowed to listen to a conversation between two friends. The mutual respect, enjoyment of one another's company, and compassion for one another was palpable in this episode. It felt like you were both free to just be genuinely yourselves and to enjoy the moment, and it gave this episode a really great emotional quality that I'm still just soaking in and appreciating. This episode was awesome, thank you both.
Andrew, I have been watching your podcast for at least 3 years, highly recommended by a client. I absolutely love it! As a wellness practioner, I eat this stuff up! It's my passion and my vocation.❤This interview in particular compelled me to comment. Your kindness and sincerity to Dr. Martha was so pronounced. I could feel you using the time with her to connect to some of your own difficulties and it was inspiring and uplifting. Many men lack vulnerability and your willingness to open up, share feelings and engage this way was truly admirable. I hope you continue to share this side of you. And more importantly, self-preservation and self-love.....for ALL of us! 🥰🥰 Thank You!
Thank you 🙏 for appreciating Huberman
I had to pause, cry and pause and cry again!
The entire conversation was speaking to my soul.
Love it.❤
One of the greatest podcast episodes ever , so engaging and real, and it's really great and refreshing to see this side of Andrew Huberman and Dr Martha Beck is just a real gem❤❤❤
AGREED! My favorite ever!
Did they get room after this?
Mankind is progressing towards it's own maturity. Thank you for being the pathfinders towards it's realisation of oneness of mankind.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable s0urce here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, blizmyco. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. blizmyco
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
This episode made me feel all the feelings. Dr. Martha Beck is a true gem. Wow. Best podcast ever. Being vulnerable is the way. Being truthful is the way. Integrity is the way.
Don’t de value kitten and be honourable 👍
One of the most important lessons I've learned in my life, and what Martha reinforces in this podcast, is that we have zero control over someone else's emotions or emotional reactions. As I have slowly let myself open up and express my own needs I find that those around me might be disappointed or upset, but if real love is there they will eventually come to terms with their own feelings and see me in a new light. It does change the relationship, but in my experience it's for the better. Thank you for this episode!
When you’re trying to envision the perfect day, but you realize you already live it 🥺. I need to work on being more present. ❤
I was actually just thinking that. 🥰
I have never learned so much in my 56 years of life than I have listening to your informative videos. I wish you all good things in life. Thank you.
so cute when he said talking to martha beck was in his "perfect day". i shed a tear. so wholesome. I know I'm going to like this episode. (listening to huberman on a rainy monday morning is part of my perfect day)
This was a fun interview and sharing. Delightful and informative!
This conversation was and will be life changing for me. When Martha shared her experience during surgery .. "This is how you should be feeling ALL the time" ... ❤❤❤
So refreshing to hear this conversation on Huberman Lab Podcast with Dr. Martha Beck. The idea of listening to and trusting one’s body, embracing suffering, and aligning with personal truth through feeling-rather than external expectations-has always resonated deeply with me. Yet, when I’ve shared the importance of these values, they’ve often been challenged, leaving me questioning, even resisting, and at times feeling wrong for choosing this path.
Each time I ignored my own inner guidance, the consequence was profound: pain that manifested physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Despite seeking help, no doctor or therapist could pinpoint a solution beyond identifying my nervous system as stuck in freeze.
But through presence, self-compassion, and the courage to trust myself, I’m finally beginning to orient and heal. Along the way, I’ve noticed friends and others feel encouraged to explore these values themselves. It’s been beautiful to witness this shift-to see how, when we live in alignment with our own truth, it can create a ripple effect that gently inspires others.
May this be a reminder that you are your own most powerful guide, and that true healing often begins with honoring the wisdom within.
Exactly! Your truth is the truth. Your mental reality needs to not be shiftable by physical reality. People love to do that, let the world around them change them. In reality you should let the world inside you change the world outside. Made me realize you can’t live in your desired reality externally until you live it internally.
Dr Martha comes across super well integrated. She still has a childlike charm that I’ve seen with so many
OH MY GOD! This is like science meets psychology meets philosophy meets sophistication and curiosity
I love this curious and honest exchange between these wonderful people.
I didnt know what to expect and now it is one of my favorite Hubermanlabs podcast!
The thing that she mentions about seeing in a child’s eye is what i have ways noticed about seeing in Andrew’s eyes but i couldn’t explain it. He has the eyes of a curious child!
Dear Dr Huberman, I wait for your episodes weekly on Spotify, today I listened to this episode twice on Spotify, but I had to watch the video on UA-cam, because I wanted to see the facial expressions, the happiness and vulnerability that are heard in the conversation, they are so beautiful, I wanted to see the reflection of your voices on images. Thanks for this episode. Saludos de Chile
Omg this I did exactly the same!! 😊
This was my favorite conversation of all times, and I think I'll return to it every time I start feeling lost again. Thank you so much. Love you both
Martha’s been a huge influence in my life as well, and it was a life-changing experience to spend time with her at her African STAR retreat in June. I’m just so thrilled that the two of you sat down for this incredible conversation. (and I just *knew* you were on ‘The Team’ she’s long spoken of! ❤️) I do believe there’s hope for humanity if we open more conversations like this one. Thank you Andrew for bringing her to your audience, and for nurturing these kinds of conversations. It’s beautiful to see ❤
Not gonna lie, I wasn’t excited at first. Mind blown. Thank you Dr. Huberman and Dr. Martha
I did not expect to enjoy being a fly on the wall for this one as much as I did. It kept coming up in my feed and i kept brushing it aside. I absolutely loved it. I am male, 50 , and in recovery from booze and oxy for about 9 months now; a new personal best as, at around 8 months, i start to think i have it under control and try to pull off the " i can have just one " trick. For anyone suffering a similar delusion, it boils down to understanding that i cannot have the first one. Ever. Big up Huberman Lab Crew! Bless 🙏📿✌️☯️🌷❤️🕉🙏
Congratulations on your progress 🙌 Not in the same league, but I’m 2 months off a horrendous 2.5 year taper off antidepressants. Every day that passes represents success, for me and you! 🥳

@@lyndarandall189 hi thanks for asking ☺️ I still have good days and bad days, but my brain is definitely working better without the ADs 👍 I was prescribed Citalopram and what I desperately needed (but didn’t realise) was HRT, as I was in peri menopause. It just made me feel much worse, but I mistakenly thought it was ‘my anxiety’ intensifying. Horrendous stuff, and yet they prescribe it to children!
@@skippy7208 Hi- YEP! I have been thinking about maybe just need HRT-esp. testosterone, but that's a scary journey as well. Really would need a very educated, EXPERIENCED, practitioner for that ....smh, healthcare system is getting worse as I type this....Stay Strong...
I'm in tears. I watch so much Huberman Podcast & I loved this energy; this honest, fun, delightful conversation. Thank you for opening the door to a world where its not "evil" (as my catholic upbringing has made me believe) to live in my integrity. I found Dr. Martha Beck incredibly fascinating, I don't know that I would have heard as much as I have or rather, taken in as much if it wasn't for Andrew Huberman being such the perfect interviewer for her. The energy is palpable, felt so clearly and I'm basking in it. Thank you both, you've shifted something in me this morning, I am very grateful, if you happen to read this wish you both the absolute best forever more.
Dear Andrew, I have arrived to a moment in my life where I absolutely want to lead with freedom and joy. This episode has given me so much joy!!! I respect and I am deeply grateful for your work. You and Martha have inspired me to continue in my path even though I have no idea where it would lead. I will try the ideal/perfect day exercise!!! Thank you for your vulnerability and openness to share your heart. I am healing from a very painful breakup but listening to you both gives me great hope on the way I look forward to experience love. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! con toda mi alma y corazón gracias infinitas.
The degree to which you make yourself vulnerable, AH, invites us all to do the same. Your guest today was delightful, joyful, smart; I realize I have work to do (in many areas of my life) but thanks to your open hearted discussion, look forward to that work.
❤ Appreciate 👍 your thoughtful comment with love from Lagos Nigeria
Lovely phrasing and I echo all of your sentiments!
Why call it work?
This podcast hasn't ceased to amaze me. You just don't know what kind of conversation will unfold and develop :)
Got to the end and I am compelled to comment twice. Laughter is a very accurate reflex to honesty and the joy of truth. This was a sincerely very genuine, brave, fun, and wall breaking conversation, Dr. Huberman. Bravo to you both!
As a polyamorous person, I greatly appreciate the honesty, acceptance, and, frankly, the logic demonstrated in this episode.
Hi Dr Hubermsn ! I had the same experience with my dog ! It is a profound experience and I hold it dear to my heart. I am tearing for you and totally understand. I can cry at any time if I let myself feel how much I miss my dog.
He opened my senses into a higher vibration , gave me his last heart beat in the palm of my hand ( which after a year I can still feel it’s essence ), his divine spirit and nature is always close.
I am happy that you experienced something the same in this nature. Im excited to know someone else has experienced this because it’s hard to explain . Heartfelt and deepening within ; energy never dies and the love of your dog will always be felt .
Best Wishes to you!
I love your podcasts
What a stupendous meaningful conversation between two beautiful souls! And wow! First time I've heard of Dr. Beck and after listening to that I'm smitten! Brilliant, funny, silly, kind, compassionate - she glows with a very discernible energy that draws one in like a moth to a flame.
Thank you having Dr. Beck on! Love her!!
I married the love of my life last year 3/23/23 in Hawaii (the most magical week of my life). One of our vows was “Do you both promise to take responsibility for your own happiness”💙💙💙
Traditional wedding vows are garbage😂
They all are, apparently.
@@MarionMM marriage is not for everyone 😘
@@Kamokoids143 Good luck to your husband.
@@MarionMM Thanks for your kindness!! 💙💙💙 Have the day and the life you deserve! I can only imagine how spectacular it must be, based on our brief interaction here🤣😘
@@Kamokoids143 Yeah, you start with making fun of other peoples wedding vows. Weirdo.
Andrew, what a once in lifetime podcast! The connection and beyond the words understanding between the two of you are so beautiful! Thank you for showing your vulnerability for other men to see it's ok to do it. And your analysis of punk rock and its inclusiveness is spot on! I love it too❤ I'll never look at you the same way again as, I believe , I've seen the most authentic version of you. 🙌
I loved the entire conversation and am listening again and making notes. Glad that dr Beck talked about prof McGilchrist, who is one of the thinkers I listen to. And the discussion on dogs was so so good for me, I have lived my life with them and learnt from them thank you.
Andrew, this, hands down, has been the most beautiful and transformational podcast I have watched/listned to ever. And I consume probably 4 a week, every week, for at least 10 years. I will admit that I had some recoil to a handful of things that Martha said and yet her explanation of the compassionate witness and having and attuning to integrity in the body, I was able to uncover deep information about my values and beliefs and now have a stepping stone to learning more about myself. Your candid honesty, her authenticity, and your palpable connection with each other were, by themselves, informative and healing. I am quite fond of her and will look much deeper into her work. Might I suggest looking into Dr. Joe Dispenza's and collegues research on the magnetic and electrical nature of heart-brain coherence. His work talks a TON about the light, the "home" and the integrity that Martha speaks about. He also teaches breathing techniques, whicb obviously you know a TON about.
Bless you Andrew. Truly, you are a lighthouse for many people.
Dr. Beck might be my favorite guest on your podcast. That’s saying a lot, as you have had many truly wonderful and/or accomplished people. And I admit, I did not know who she was before this episode. But I was immediately drawn in, and knew right away she was going to be someone I would never forget.
I was one of your early subscribers, as I was following you even before the podcast. I have listened to every episode at least once, and I listen as soon as they come out. This one was truly special. Thank you.
Thanks Martha and Andrew for making me feel like it is okay to listen to your true self, your authentic self and being in alignment with your authentic self sets you free. That when I feel this isn’t right for me, I have to honor it. I must honor it to truly experience life and my best self for others. Like lifting the veil…. I agree with her, that we truly don’t know what the afterlife will be. No religion can answer that and that is okay to admit. This conversation really shed light on our purpose on the planet in so many ways and how to know you are on the right path. The idea of meeting feelings of suffering with self compassion that will allow you to show love and compassion for others is something I will work towards and this conversation gave me the blueprint. I will definitely read more from Dr. Beck! Thanks for the introduction, Andrew and for your radical openness Dr. Beck!
Just finished this podcast and came here to tell you that this was FAR AND AWAY the best episode I’ve listened to. I became an avid follower after a friend sent me your alcohol episode.
Just incredible light. I’ll follow up in a few years if this ends up being true, but it feels like my life has changed significantly.
It took me a week to get through this podcast - I kept on rewatching certain parts several times to really absorb them. And I never wanted the podcast to end.
What a treat, what a blessing to be living in the same time with such bright and generous people.
Like Martha has said, a lot of us are on the same mission and that gives tremendous hope. I will certainly do my best to align with mine.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
After watching hundreds of hours of you talk over the last few years and garnering immeasurable value this episode in particular I’m beyond grateful for.
It’s so refreshing and inspiring to see this type of discussion here. Both of you so staunch in your efforts to be true to your experience and reconcile science and our cultural attitudes with the more spiritual and mysterious aspects of existence. It’s reassuring for those of us who have in our lives few or none who are willing to open their heart and mind to experience the world in this way.
Thank you also Andrew for being so honest and vulnerable. Sharing parts of yourself with the world so openly takes courage and it empowers others especially men to see how these traits are not opposed to masculinity.
I also hope you know your idiosyncrasies are very endearing. Though I don’t really know you, it always brings me joy learning about you as person while you teach.
From the bottom of my heart thank you to you and your whole team for what you do ♡
This is so Awesome!!! I’m a Martha Beck certified coach, I had also long benefit from all her teachings, had changed my life, and that of those around me. Love you guys!!! ❤️❤️Thanks for doing all your work for improving the lives of soooo many people ☺️
First video I watch to start my day, hearing the visualization practice at the start confirms I will be following my dreams and moving to the Colorado mountains all the way from South Florida where I have lived my whole life. I tried the practice and had a very similar vision laying with my Minature Pinscher (no bull dogs here). Thank you for these videos Huberman.
What an enjoyable podcast! I feel like I know Dr. Huberman just a little bit more and Dr. Beck's energy is contagious❤
Utterly profound and mind-blowing interview! Probably now my absolute favorite of your podcasts! Please another one with Martha Beck!
I knew it! As someone who has been cancelling meetings throughout my years, i must say thank you! Finally some god dam recognition!
I shed several tears during this episode - thanks to both you and Dr. Beck for leading this discussion with such open hearts. You made me think of my bully who passed on in 2020. I loved him so much and love any opportunity to remember him. There are so many other things I can comment about this but I will say this: what a wonderful episode and I'll be looking into Dr. Beck!! Thank you!
Super rare to go through comments and not find one negative one. Truly a statement of how amazing these minds and this conversation is. Thank you both, it’s clear a lot of us needed this.
I love that this is an extremely vulnerable conversation between 2 human beings, talking about their experiences, and being completely honest with themselves!
I’m 36 minutes in and am trying not to mess up my make up as I’m on my way to work and keep crying at the absolute brilliant conversation between you two. What a beautiful way to introduce Dr. Martha Beck. Thank you both for sharing everything you did in this episode.
What a powerful ending. This whole episode gave me goosebumps and so many "mental orgasms" -Thank you both much for gifting us this enlightening and healing wisdom!
Dr Andrew, I remember Costello I miss him too. You become my best friend, during my healing journey. Thank you!
Thanks for talking about Costello. It helps with my loss of my bully mix (bully, golden, mastiff), Penny. ❤
I came back here to say….
After listening to this I started reading North Star and Martha Beck is remarkable in her depth and connection…she connects and communicates so deftly.
I can see reason for Huberman’s admiration and it’s very cool to see this side of him here.
I’m paused.
Listened on Spotify, watched once here and just about to watch again! In less than 24h. Thanks Andrew for being true to yourself! Your laugh after “better, batter and better”, and “going to hell” was delighted to hear, even more to watch! This is why every episode makes your podcast even better!
Thank you Andrew and Martha! I resonate with this conversation immensely. I experienced a TBI with 6 skull fractures and 2 brain bleeds from an assault last summer, where I saw the light mentioned. I was unconscious for 3 days. During that time I visited a realm my soul knew but I did not, where I met God Osiris who offered me an invaluable necklace I did not take. Since then I have experienced heightened intuition, immense gratitude mindset shift, and can see energies, and more. I have gotten to meet several of my spiritual guides and seen them as blue silhouettes. The change in me has caused my marriage to fall apart, and that’s okay. New beginnings! I also resonate with the “feels like a game and this is just my avatar” I feel it daily now. When Martha said “you are here to find your team and tell them they are here as healers” my whole body got goosebumps, and felt as if someone placed a hand on my left cheek at the moment she said that. I am on your team!
The best way to describe my mind since my injury is like my higher self is guiding me, and sending me downloads from the universe that light the path I now walk upon. A few months ago I was “told” I am an energy healer meant to heal others and teach them how to do the same for themselves and others. This conversation only amplified that message. Thank you both so much! I am grateful!

This was by far the most genuine and honest podcast episode I've ever got the chance to listen too. Thank you so much for showing vulnerability and appreciation for one another in ever second of the interview. I will definitely look into Dr. Martha Becks work and read all her books. She's one of a kind. Thanks for inviting her! ♡
Dr. Beck is so empathetic and compassionate that it made Andrew share a lot, much more than usual😊
Great conversation! Made me cry when she was describing compassion to self🤍
The JOY and LOVE shared in this episode is unparalleled 🎉 Thank you both SO MUCH for being yourselves and sharing authentically! My heart swells with belonging, inspiration and admiration 🎉
I see why Martha Beck is at the top of Huberman's List. Martha has so much light in her, easily laughs. Her kindness and levity might mislead one given her credentials. That's a sign of being evolved. Thank you Andrew for your mission of making the highest levels of learning, great minds, available to all of us with a laptop. It was nice to see him somewhat vulnerable here, to see another side that can be as loved as the stoic. The breakfast table was a powerful exercise, and setting up a fish tank with the kids might be the highest goal in life.
This is by far the best episode I experienced in your podcast series. I believe that Martha's quest for authenticity and integrity is a role model that can only benefit the human condition. Thank you for presenting this episode and I hope many more discussions about human "being" will follow.
i feel like i’m listening to this podcast simultaneously meditating through it. truly incredible. thank you both for all your incredible work.
Just put my Doggo, my Best Friend to sleep after 14 years together. It was august 8th. Start listening to this podcast and of course they talk about dogs. And i thought im going crazy with my loss. But its actually nice to know Andrew And Martha hard similar thoughts even a few years after their pet passings. And as always, thanks for all your work, mr. Huberman.
Your dogs body has left, but the shared love will never leave
Wow, dr. Huberman so vulnerable, talking about his struggles makes him an even better man. And dr. Beck is the best.
My favorite podcast I have ever listened to. I never leave comments on anything. This is the first. I listen on Spotify and after listening multiple times and sharing with everyone I know, I came on to UA-cam to watch it. Thank you.
Watching how you allowed yourself to be vulnerable on this podcast, watching how honest and authentic you and Martha were together, solidified my trust in you and your message, Andrew. I do not often watch a 2hour+ podcast, but this was utterly fascinating! I found myself taking notes and feeling uplifted. In these times, finding such rich and useful content is “a pearl of great price.” I cannot thank you enough. You have my utmost admiration for allowing yourself to be so open and true on a public forum. This podcast cleared a new path for me - so much learning! I am deeply appreciative. Please consider having Michael A. Singer on your podcast, if you have not already. Thank you again!
You have had some unbelievably good interviews but this one is just insane. She is incredibly wise.
This is one of my favorite episodes of this podcast EVER. To be honest I didn't know who Martha Beck was! I'm so glad to know her thanks to you Andrew!
Please Please Please bring on Antonia Dodge. After listening to Dr.Beck, Antonia Dodge would complement her discussions so much. Antonia Dodge is a true master in systems thinking and has many great insights on persona, ego, and Self. Antonia Dodge is a brilliant master of her craft and I believe this is an area many of the listeners could derive great benefits from. Please bring Antonia Dodge to the show!
I can’t love this enough! Planned to listen for 45 min… now been through it 4x!
It’s soooo good! 😢❤
This is the 2nd time I have watched this episode. I 100% agree that Martha Beck is a very wonderful person and teacher. I agree with her that you also are living your purpose to educate and also contribute to the attempt to heal our society. Thank you soooo much for your work!!!😊
This was without a once of doubt, the best podcast or even the video that ive seen online that most resonated with me.... beyond recognition. SInce the "Mind blowing and Does not compute moment" ... i knew i was in for something beautiful.
I have ADHD and feeling emotions on people and energy is something that ive been blessed with . I have a diferent path but i was alsol blessed with a bit of that "Light" moment, and the feeling of peace you get is astonishing.
Thank you Dr. Huberman, for the work and dedication to this venture of podcasting. Im gratefull to you and Dr Martha for sharing the stories and personal life on this video
Really great podcast there Andrew, if you wanna to go deeper into the rabbit hole, 'Unveiling Your Hidden Potential' by Bruce Thornwood is a must-read

Dead internet theory
I'm only twenty minutes in, and this is already the best episode ever. Martha Beck is so inspiring! 💙
This podcast has left me in tears. When Andrew tells about how he feels about letting go, that is like, completely 1000% resonated with me. It was like that is who I am in my relationships as well. What Dr. Martha tells after that, thats' a completely different story! Brain just got in rewind and analyze mode.
Thank you so much Andrew! That is really a bizarre amount of truth possible for one podcast. Its frightening as well as liberating.
One of the absolute best podcasts I’ve ever watched! Such a heart warming exchange between 2 deeply evolved and inspiring souls… Thank you both!! I especially appreciate the “perfect day“ practice and will definitely be putting that to work in my own life. Sending deep gratitude for the beautiful experience!! ❤
