My dad was also a scientist and he taught us this method back in the 70’s! We lost him last year so this was cool for me to hear. My dad was brilliant but before his time - he said things back then people are “discovering” now. People thought him odd but time has proven dad knew his stuff!
Sounds like a typical Italian old school, wise man like my papa...engineer, philosophical, work ethic, love of learning, curiosity which I have those traits as well and the cross of it is finding other people who also have this LIFE in their spirit like this. I'm sorry you lost your dad last year. I hate to ask, because soooooo many sudden deaths and I know why, but regardless, I'm still very sorry :( Love, another person who learned a lot of neat things from dad
Been doing this for decades because it's the only thing I've found that works, but be careful because it can potentially make you suddenly lightheaded and dizzy.
i was taught in health class in the 80s that hiccups are jerking of the diaphram and that a spoonful of sugar will alleviate them. Seems to work. no joke.
I discovered that when you just pause between each in and out breath, you quickly calm the hiccups down. You don't even need to trally pause, the transition between breathing in and out just needs to be really slow and smooth.
Just tried it today and i worked instantly. Usually something like only holding my breath or smth has never worked for me but those two little micro inhales are really good.
I have told people this for years!!!! Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy, but now I can point them to you to back me up! I swear this has worked for me for years. Although, I don't take 3 breaths. Just one big one, hold it until I can't anymore and then slowly let it out. Works like a charm.
Hold your breath for 20 seconds. Then Swallow (water makes it easy) three times. Works 95% of the time. People think I'm a wizard when I tell then this. [Always reminds me knowledge is power and this is a classic example of it!] Best wishes 🧡
I woke up one morning with hiccups. I had the thought that my body knows how to not have the hiccups. I said ok body. The hiccups went away immediately. I haven't had them since. It's been about 5 years. I used this with my body weight. I acknowledged that my body knew how to be at its perfect weight. Within a few months I was at my ideal weight. I use this now with everything. Works great.
Huh??? 😂 I am having difficulty being sure I know what you’re saying! Can you explain it a bit? Do you mean you hunch over the glass while placing your mouth on the opposite side rim?
I know from experience that this method works 100% of the time when I have hiccups: I simple state loudly and firmly "I AM NOT A FISH". There can be no doubt or uncertainty in your delivery of this line. I promise you that it works.
This was an absolute game changer for me when I first heard you say it earlier this year. It's turned into a party trick now whenever I get hiccups lol
I inhale, hold breath while taking 7 big sips of water from the tap and it’s GONE. Worked for 37 years and never failed. I feel like it’s the combo of leaning forward, tilting your head and drinking while holding my breath
I don’t know if there’s any science to my method, but it worked 100% for me for 40 years. You get a cup of water, lean your back forward so you torso is parallel to the floor with legs straight and you make a few sips of water. A few seconds later, get up. No more hiccups. My dad taught me this trick when I was a kid. It never failed me.
My method is to exhale as much as possible, and just try to not inhale. Keep your lungs as empty as possible and resist the urge to inhale for as long as possible. Eventually, after about 20 seconds, hiccups will subside. Sometimes takes a second or third attempt but has worked reliably for me for the last few years. I will try this next time though!
Thank you for this advice. Occasionally I’ll get hiccups and they have been very disruptive, 60 years old, haven’t suffered using this technique for a year!
Great stuff, but please note that the phrenic nerve does not contract, as it is a nerve. It innervates the diaphragm, which is the muscle that involuntarily contracts causing the hiccups. Surely a minor oversight, I see what you’re saying. Thank you for all the great stuff you post, I admire how well you educate us all is so many aspects of health, fitness and longevity. -sincerely, your friendly neurologist fan
I have 2 ways of stopping hiccups. One is to lightly place the fingers of my right hand over the xiphoid process and mentally "tell" my diaphragm to relax, while also breathing calmly. Usually takes about 30 seconds for the hiccups to stop. A friend told me he'd never seen anyone stop the hiccups like that. The other method is to swallow a spoonful of sugar, which always works. Maybe next time I'll try Dr. H's suggestion. I sometimes get hiccup "attacks" several times a day, and then won't get them for months. They're really annoying.
Learned this method on my own. It works 99 percent of the time. Taking a big mouthful of water then bend over as far as you can like touching your toes and then swallow the water. Doing this 1-3 times works 100 percent of the time in my experience
Fill your mouth with a lot of water. Look straight up to the ceiling. Pinch nose using fingers and swallow the water in one gulp. Works 100%. In case the above method doesn't work.
I'll have to try this too, makes sense! My chemistry teacher taught me years ago to take a mouthful of water, hold it in your mouth, bend over, and slowly drink while slowing your breathing. That works well too!
I used to get hiccups that lasted hours and got extremely painful. I found that rubbing my knuckles along my sternum fixed them for a few years, then for a solid decade afterwards I could get rid of them by thumping my sternum. But recently the technique has stopped working. Will have to try this one out next time they show up.
I’ll try this. Until now, my technique has been: take a big inhale and then hold for as long as I can, then slowly slowly exhale and then control a slow inhale and a slow exhale this way re setting a regular breathing ❤
ive been doing this forever but i drink something before the exhale. it works, sometimes takes two or three goes to get it. found this method as like a 1.99 internet “course” or something in like 1999 that i somehow got the link to work without paying and never forgot this.
Can't believe it took me this long to find this technique again. Checked healthline andeven harvadd medical school... Scishow too. Tried all those methods and failed. I forgot the details of this method and was doing it wrong... Anyway, thank you Dr. Huberman, this tricks works.
What I’ve been doing for decades it always worked. I fill a glass of water. I blow all the oxygen out of my lungs hold my breath while drinking as much of the water as I can before I’m out of oxygen. Basically feels like I can’t go one more second with out air. Then I stop might burp a little but don’t drink or eat anything for a while. It’s worked for me for over 3-4 decades! Never failed!
Great advice, a real life organic brain hack. Makes me wonder if this unusual, intentional pattern of breathing could be used to use when one is faced with a person who routinely tries ones patience. I imagine, instead of reacting to the narcissist's taunt/insult/threat, if one takes charge of their emotions in this way. Doing so--gives one time to think before automatically reacting, and in that important brief period one has an opportunity to choose to maintain control of their own responses. No escalation of the narcissist's actions, no loosing one's self control and position of dignity. Yes, to use this breathing techique successfully, one would need to practice. Make it so automatic that-- when someone tries to push your buttons--you give yourself time to actually choose your response and never allow anyone to manipulate you into giving away your dignity.
Being a nurse, I've seen all kinds of ways to get rid of hiccups. Never heard of this method. Two that I used frequently -- if diet permits, eat a teaspoon of peanut butter and follow it with a glass of milk. -- plug both ears while someone holds a cup of water to your mouth to drink 3 big gulps of the water
What i always do is hold my breath and fill my mouth woth water, lean forward as far as I can, then slowly swallow the water. Ideally you want your head at or below waist level and swallow the water over 5+ seconds. My understanding is that it engages the mammalian dive reflex and causes your breathing pattern to change, or something along those lines.
I have always done a type of shallow, looped breathing technique wherein I try to keep my throat muscles super relaxed. Self-discovered, not the easiest thing. This technique in the video seems simpler (my husband uses it), but I’ll stick with what I know. 😊
I used your technique with spasms in my lung. Like a cramp. A stitch. I inhale slowly as much as I can then some more. Hold it and release slowly. I’ll try it for hiccups.
the same with "Heartburn". Usually u can really FEEL it coming before it happens.... in this moment when u realize -- you have to squeeze your stomach inside! ...in that moment you feel how you can controll it! and go even further your "chest" like that you can CONSCIOUSLY stop it!
A teaspoon of sugar is usually enough to stimulate the vagus nerve and make the body forget all about the hiccups. I grew up being told to eat a spoonful of sugar to remedy hiccups and it’s never failed me.
You tell the person that his dad/friend/relative kind of fell in a ditch and broke his leg. The shock the person experiences, would stop his/her hiccup. This is reliable way to make the person normal.
Oh my God, I bet ya I know why this works, too! Hiccups, as opposed to burping, is the body's way of increasing its internal pressure, just as burps are a way to release a body's internal pressure. Those two things are a way for the body to regulate it. So, inhaling three times in a row resolves the problem of needing a greater internal body pressure that the hiccups show up to try to fix!
I've had hiccups for three days and tried all the methods I could find. The only thing I've found that stopped my hiccups was a huge tablespoon of peanut butter and let it dissolve in my mouth. If one tablespoon doesn't work, try another one. I'll try this technique next time, but I always have my tried and true as a backup.
I would swallow three times in a row. The first is easy, the second is hard, the third is nearly impossible, but it gets rid of them every single time. This inhaling will be easier haha
Huh! This is pretty close to my method I figured out as a kid. I take the biggest mouth full of water my cheeks can hold and the biggest breath I can breathe and then hold my breath as long as I can while very slowly sipping the water back till gone. Then breathe! And hiccups are gone.
I've been doing the three inhales since the 80's. I just automatically would inhale 3times, but I do it through my mouth and fill my lungs and exhale slowly. And whala! Hiccups are gone, never failed
My grandmother's grandfather sister's cousin Lofty O' Malley held the Irish record for hiccups for 82 consecutive years until his brothers friends uncle Patrick "the bull" O' Shaunessey bet him by 4 years two months and a day. Hubermans advice is gold, but it could easily have flattened the legacy of a small Irish village.
When I had hiccups as a child my mother used to give me half a teaspoon of sugar to let it melt in the mouth and it always made it stop. Even as an adult it's helped, but this i better!
I figured out to do this years ago. i treat hiccups like a muscle cramp. I breath in deep to stretch my chest and hold my breath through a hiccup. Usually need to do this only 1 or 2 times to completely stop hiccups.
This is the only useful thing I learned from my grade school choir teacher. You inhale, hold your breath, then bend over at the waist. 90 degree angle. Then wait ten seconds. Before you sit back up or breathe, drink water. It dislodges whatever air bubble is stuck and wow, no more hiccups!
I hold a half pint of water in my mouth, fold my body as if I was about to touch my toes then swallow the water. Has never failed me. Idk whether it’s bc of the distraction or what but it works.
Better is to use the swallow reflex. Hold breath then feel the burn a bit but before you breathe in or out, swallow 👌🏻 Works every time... But what is the mechanism? ☺️
Just slowly say "Dopamine" backwards 3 times.
It doesn't stop your hiccups, but Andrew Huberman will appear in front of you.
😂 this gave me a serotonin boost and pushed my baseline dopamine level up 😂
😂😂😂😂
Tops 😅
Memification
Enimapod 😂
Just holding my breath has reliably worked for me ever since I can remember.
Never worked for me tho
I find the key to the breath hold is not to slouch/lean on your diaphragm. Hold your breath up high
Same for me since my mum taught me at about 6-7 years old 😊
That method only has like a 20 percent reliability rate with me. It sucks
Same.

@@Jennifer-gr7hn thank you - my dad sounds a lot like your papa. We are blessed to be raised by such thoughtful, brilliant men.
Rip to your dad from Pakistan. Much love
I discovered this by accident when I was young. But I always swallowed in between each inward breath. Seemed to work almost every time
Me too!!!!! OMG
Same! I've always taken sips of water in between each breath and thought it was the burping afterward that ended them.
This is crazy! I always just took a deep breath and then 10 sips of water while holding my breath. Still do it to this day!
Been doing this for decades because it's the only thing I've found that works, but be careful because it can potentially make you suddenly lightheaded and dizzy.

wish that were true - body heal thyself… still

I've done this for years! Hold as long as comfortable then exhale very slowly ❤
First time hearing of this definitely trying it
And I've spent my life in the medical profession?
I did this technique and it worked very fine, I figured it out alone when I was suffering from many things, not only from hiccups
Drinking water from the opposite side of a glass is excellent too.
Works every time. 😊👍
Huh??? 😂
I am having difficulty being sure I know what you’re saying! Can you explain it a bit?

Place a paper towel over a cup full of water and drink as much water as you can through the paper towel. Works 100% of the time for curing hiccups.

I'm doing this from many years ...I read this thing in an ancient Indian medical book..written by an Indian doctor (vaid).
Drink a tea spoon of either vinegar or lemon juice. It'll stop hiccups instantly
My whole life I have been able to stop my hiccups just by holding my breath. Works every time
Wish I’d found Huberman sooner!!
Being a nurse, I've seen all kinds of ways to get rid of hiccups. Never heard of this method.
Two that I used frequently
-- if diet permits, eat a teaspoon of peanut butter and follow it with a glass of milk.
-- plug both ears while someone holds a cup of water to your mouth to drink 3 big gulps of the water
Exhale. Drink water. Don't inhale for a few seconds. Worked all my life.
Thanks a ton.
What i always do is hold my breath and fill my mouth woth water, lean forward as far as I can, then slowly swallow the water. Ideally you want your head at or below waist level and swallow the water over 5+ seconds. My understanding is that it engages the mammalian dive reflex and causes your breathing pattern to change, or something along those lines.

I used steady breathing to get rid of them. I'll try this next time
I do too. But kind of in a fairly shallow, looped way. Relaxing the throat and steadiness is key.

I was just wondering this the other day 💙my mom said the same thing but I didn't believe her!
Holding my breath and tightening stomach muscles during the time when the next hiccup would have happened has been a nonfail method for years.
I was taught to take seven separate sips of water, but do not swallow until the seventh sip. Works every time.
I hold a half pint of water in my mouth, fold my body as if I was about to touch my toes then swallow the water. Has never failed me. Idk whether it’s bc of the distraction or what but it works.

Better is to use the swallow reflex. Hold breath then feel the burn a bit but before you breathe in or out, swallow 👌🏻 Works every time... But what is the mechanism? ☺️
