Thx Doc. In a house full of teenagers, most of them dealing with bad mental health since the covid lockdowns, and every day i urged, pleaded, begged them to hike, workout, do something else then staring on a screen. Finally my oldest boys are hitting the gym now and feeling fantastic. I hope for everyone that they discover the results of gettng off your arse and get moving. Respect and kind regards from the Netherlands.
1. Slow and long cardiovascular 2. Fast and short Cardiovascular 3. Time tension resistance training 4. Put pressure on bones- example jumping exercise 5. Do something phycologically and physically challenging. Do these above points atleast a week, for maximum brain benifits.
Dr. Huberman, thank you for being so unselfish and so kind by sharing your knowledge. You have changed my life, you have made such a great impact and have given me so much hope and inspiration to stay strong mentally, physically and spiritually. When I struggle with thoughts keeping me down or waking me up in the middle of the night, I find comfort by listening to you. I cannot thank you enough. I am so grateful for you.
Becoming the person we needed during tough times is a powerful motivator for both personal and professional development. I wish everyone reading this the best of luck in achieving success!
I woke up at 5 am, accidentally. Normally I go to sleep at 5 am. Anyways, I thought I will play youtube to fall back to sleep faster, now it’s 6am, I have already had cold shower, I’ve exercised, I’m eating breakfast and getting ready to go to work sharp. Just this video alone already changed my life in a way

My favorite thing about this channel is that none of the topics stress me out. It’s nice to turn off current events and work stress at the end of the day and just learn for the sake of learning. I sincerely appreciate the effort you’re putting into the content.
The part about how small changes in daily habits can drastically impact mental and physical health really stood out to me. Definitely something I’ll try to implement!
I discovered the channel last year spring, when I decided to quit smoking and vaping, and found the episode about nicotine - then through the year, I ended up watching all videos on this channel multiple times, and it changed my life for the better! I quit nicotine, and reducing my daily caffeine intake as well, and I sleep much better! starting the year with going outside immediately every day for some exercise, and it helps fixing my messy sleep routine, and went from waking up after 1pm, to be able to wake up hours earlier~ I'm excited for this year, and gonna watch every new episode!
Since i was young i was already exposed to exercise, and i'm now 26 yrs old and i still execise every day even if it's simple cardio or streching it always help me get active. And i'm working too, thanks you Andrew
We created a free program for kids 14 years ago based on this science, and the program Active Kids & Minds (formerly BOKS) grew from one school to 14,000 across the globe, with parents and teachers talking about the positive difference they see in their kids:-) kids need to play and move, Thank you Dr. Huberman.
Andrew, you inspired me to start an experiment of giving up all my bad habits overnight for a year. I'm documenting it on my channel, hoping to bring some value to people.
Wow another great podcast!! I work out 7 days a week and I do something different every single day. This includes resistance training or it could be weighted calisthenics, I have a background in martial arts so it could be a kickboxing workout with some exercises thrown in during the breaks. I also make sure I do some kind of Sprint training at least once a week and that's tough. I am 68 years old and I've been doing this consistently since I was in the military. I was actually in the Navy and during my first enlistment I lost over 50 lb so you can imagine I can definitely relate to David Goggins. He is such an inspiration to so many people! I continue to improve even as I get older and I've lost even more weight and I consider myself pretty strong for my age. I guess the exercise that I am going to pick as far as something I really don't want to do is jumping rope. Now this is something I did years ago and was pretty good at it but I got to the point where I just got tired of doing it and it felt very frustrating but I'm going to get back into it!! Thanks again for a great podcast and great information!!!🏋️🏋️🏃🏃🥋🥋🥊🥊
Thank God I found you!!! I was recently hospitalized for extreme vertigo, but was sent home with no answers as to why😢 just medicated for symptoms! When I say extreme, I mean I felt like I was being sucked into a tunnel at lightning speed. I wasn't even standing. I was just waking up from a deep sleep! I did my best just to forget about the situation and lied still until it's subsided but then it came back hours later and every time I went to lie down in a Supine position it would happen again that's why I ended up being admitted into the hospital I'm convinced it has something to do with my spinal fluid when it ruptured and formed Tarluv cyst in my spine a decade ago. I suffer from severe chronic nerve pain I will be following you and watching your videos and maybe at least I'll get help on being able to sleep and control my pain better and maybe live somewhat of a normal life
I, too have nerve pain (both facial nerve pain & nerve pain in my back [resulting from a botched psoas tendon release, when my surgeon accidentally severed the tendon). I can not keep a "positive mindset" if I use exogenous pharma (prescriptions), so I avail myself of endogenous pharma: the vassopressin, oxcytocin, dopamine & endorphins which I gain from cardio, HiiT, LAUGHTER and other sources. These chemicals are FAR MORE EFFECTIVE than every analgesic, narcotic, pharmaceutical prescription, alcohol or the illicit drugs I tried decades ago.
@DanceintheRaine666 Sorry to hear about your suffering from chronic pain, but totally admire your fight! I agree💯 about your advice for how to cope with pain! Thank you for your advice and taking the time to comment! I actually play games and watch videos and comedies try to redirect my brain away from the pain, it is definitely a challenge minute by minute! I do not take pain meds and after being hospitalized during the summer for cardio issues being diagnosed with congestive heart failure enlargement of my heart as a result of being bed-bound mostly for almost a decade I have increased my cardio but now with this excessive intense vertigo, I have not attended any cardio and it's been weeks and I'm just now getting around to walking again. I am taking several medications for my blood pressure heart and my connective tissue disorder I take hydroxychloroquine I just now started adding the Gabapentin they want me to take it three times a day but I take 300 mg only one time a day for the nerve pain although I'm not sure that it's helping 🙄 although I'm on the dark side of 60 in my 50s I could do circles around 20-year-olds! I credited my healthiness to a near-death experience in my late twenties that I overcame and then I proceeded to bodybuild do aerobics and martial arts! There's not a lot known about the Tarlov cyst the spinal fluid ruptures and it fills your nerves mine are at the end of my spine it affects my entire body that I am on fire and I feel like I have been beaten with a bat all the time the pain is non-stop and relentless! I thought I'd already experienced the worst of it but now with these weird things occurring like the intense vertigo being sucked into a dark hole now I have another mountain to climb because they do not know why it's occurring or what's causing it😪
Ive been on a 30 month journey of both becoming a runner and learning how to play piano, guitar, and produce music. Im going for the Gold, While welcoming Platinum, but would gladly accept Bronze.😊 Im 43 I told myself, intuitively perhaps, that becoming a good runner would help me become a solid musician.
I sit down at my pc and look at youtube, and I'm like: "oh yeah, its Monday! I forgot, and there is new Huberman episode" then I clicked on the subscriptions feed and saw this video and went: "YEEEEEEESSS!!!" so happy
2025: My now 94-year-old mother has always done light workouts in our living room since the early 1970s. She bounced back recently from an ulcer as a result of bad medication. When you mentioned "kick up a knee", this is exacly what she is presently doing as a result of recent PT. So many great podcasts, Andrew. Thatnks for sharing your work!
Exercises I despise and commit to not skipping them this year: burpees, mountain climbers at a fast pace, plank jacks and press jacks? See a theme? I do not enjoy sprinting and I will make it happen!
Thank you, Andrew, for showing how exercise boosts both brain and body health. 🧠💪 Such a great reminder of the power of movement-appreciate how clear and actionable this is!

I preordered your book in June of 2024 and have been really looking forward to geeting in April. Now I'm equally excited to wait until September knowing that it will be even better. Thank you sir.
Thank you for your comment. I apologize for the delay, but it’s to get the information is up-to-date as possible. Wishing you a great start to the year!
Excited for the book, congratulations. I really appreciate what you’ve done for human beings during your time on the channel (and podcasts, etc). I’m always interested in learning more about ourselves and will definitely be purchasing the book when released. I know it can be tough at times, but pressure (and heat) makes diamonds ;), and you’re on your way to becoming one. Thank you for all that you do Dr. Huberman. Keep up the great work!
I hope that taking the staircase to the 4th floor at the office this morning stimulated my AMCC 🤗 I'm not a morning person so I really hated it but did it anyway 💪🏼 Thanks for all the wonderful episodes Andrew!
Everyday my brain fights my body to do things. My spirit knows what to do. When your mind,body and spirit are in alignment you are at your best. Body is disciplined, mind is disciplined. Mental health conditions disapate and you feel well overall.
I watched this episode twice.. Got inspired to workout more.. Peterson episode was long and difficult to understand, I couldn't grasp much but I started devoting time for prayer which feels really good..
Loved this podcast-it’s especially helpful for people working in corporate jobs and giving their best for their company. Adding Sudoku to your routine can make a real difference. Thanks, Andrew!
I have been implementing Time undertension before it was called TUT back in 2011-2012. Glad to see that many have been using it now and popularizing it. Also, implementing a dumbbell step up movement even though I despise it BUT I know that it works and keeps my mind engaged! I love and appreciate today’s topic. Thank you Andrew! ❤
Turkish get up. I hate it. I had intended to become efficient at them in 2024 , but I hate them so much I stopped. You’ve just given me a great reason to start again. Thanks 🙏🏻
That podcast did fit like a glove to me. I have bipolar disorder and been learning english for a couple of years, and between all my highs and lows, one thing that i really realize is that when im really aroused, motivated or high, i can really notice a big difference in learning and the acquisition of vocabulary. The same goes for when i am very depressed, it’s just water off ducks back. Now i had the confirmation. It’s been very challenging, but ill keep it up. Thank you so much for your invaluable work, huberman, really looking forward to your new book. Shoutout from brazil!
Oh. Giving Our Body what it Wants in the Form of Movement or Our Brain What it Wants...Peace...Performance..for Health and Longevity Fabulous Topic ... Huge Blessings Andrew and Everyone's Brain Health 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Hatha Yoga. After listening, I know that the things that I don't look forward to in this practice are the very things that will benefit my anterior mid singular cortex. The slow pace, the near exact positions / postures, the holding time, the breathing pattern, effort😅. Thank you for encouraging me to start again. ❤
I always noticed this bout of energy and “feel great attitude” after doing incline 7.5 walking at 3mph. If anyone has heard of runners high, that’s the best way to explain it. This video just clarified what I experience way more! While also teaching me how to use more it effectively and active it via other methods!
Dr Andrew Huberman, Firstly I wanted to thank you for teaching us and sharing your knowledge, you can’t imagine how beneficial it is. Secondly I will say that since I’ve got 3 surgeries on my knee 5 years ago because I tore almost all my ligaments, I hate doing single leg hip thrust, my hamstrings are too weak and my knee is in discomfortable pain, but I’m committed to do it, because the mid singular cortex is my favorite region in the brain! Thirdly can I ask you maybe do some teaching broadcast about the brain and their regions? I’m a first year medical student, and I find your teaching way really useful and I think it can benefit to all of us to understand a little more about our brains and the functions it performs, thank you for your attention!
I listened this as a podcast in the morning while exercising but I came to your TH-cam channel to finally say Thank You for what you’re doing. I have been very interested in brain health and memory for quite some time now so this episode seemed super valuable. Thanks again! I subscribed to your TH-cam channel as well.
Huberman, I really enjoyed this episode! I would like to request a future episode focusing on medicinal mushrooms, their consumption, supplementation, and their impact on brain health, particularly ergothioneine. There is a wealth of research highlighting the incredible health benefits of Lion's Mane, Chaga, Turkey Tail, and Reishi mushrooms. Thank you for making such a positive impact in the world and for changing my life for the better!
Dr.Huberman you are the best thank you for your knowledge and sharing it without any cost to us you are a great professor and human being I have learned so much and I have been able to share this to other people thank you 🙏
Wow.. I am going to really remember this episode a long time😅.. I watched most of it whilst on my rowing machine! and it made me smile. Thank you for all that you do. 💙
Thank you for providing such an actionable protocol. I’ve been lifting weights six or seven days a week for about two years now but in 2025 I plan to start to a more hybrid training style like the one you give so thank you! Side note: I’m gonna start jump roping to promote growth of the amcc, not looking forward to and looking forward to it at the same time 😭😭
Look like I found what I’ll be listening to tomorrow while I work! But for now, it’s just after midnight here, and I have to go to bed. Thanks in advance!
Thanks, Andrew! The level of detail you’ve provided is exceptional and very helpful for understanding how to live a happy, healthy, and long life. I’d love to see if there’s any scientific data available on other forms of exercise, such as yoga (and its different styles), as well as qigong or tai chi. It’s often said that practices like qigong and tai chi help strengthen the deeper, smaller muscles in the body. I think there’s a gap in understanding that quick and intense exercises aren’t always the best option-ancient practices like these offer significant physical and emotional benefits as well.
thanks for enlightening how exercise chains to spinal cords and the vagus nerve and adrenals then the nts and locus ceruleus. Nice to know that learning how to make core centric movements is key. And that these pathways resolve much more quickly than the hypothalamus to adrenaline pathway. And reminding us the value of jumping. Didn't know about the connection between consecutive bad nights of sleep and exercise.
“Some sort of really coordinated specific motor activity that has to be done precisely , or very precisely , before you could say you’re done it right…”.. Dr.Huberman… it’s time to hit the dance floor!!! And take some dancing lessons…yes: it has to be Tango 😁👍🏻😘🕺
i have been in the process of moving out for the past two weeks and I haven't worked out as a result. It definitely took a toll on my mental health but I am going back on track now.
Outstanding episode. And I do not know where you live, but I hope you and yours are well and safe. Sending my love to LA and all those suffering this enormous tragedy and devastation.
I really appreciate these type of podcasts to inform and to get better health! Sometimes I am not sure if I fully understand the content, it’s complex… I need to do more exercise for my brain health lol
I will be doing a plank every other day for about 4-5 minutes. I've been doing it on and off a few years and I still hate it, so I think it's a good choice. Hopefully my ACC will benefit. Thank you for this one.
Hi doctor, I'm a fan of your work and have been listening it for a good while. I have always wanted to ask you on your personal journey of becoming this level. From your childhood days, your choices, your academics, how you ended up in science and too at teaching,life as teacher, the struggle etc. Whenever there's a space, consider this subject too. People will love it and would find immense inspiration to look forward on their journey too
Recommendation… Because Dr. Huberman is a professional educator. He sticks to professional on his podcast but if you catch him on somebody else’s podcast he shares his personal side. ☝🏽😎🎬
I always enjoy listening to your episodes. I majored in biology with an emphasis on neurobiology and always find your episodes and the research fascinating. The exercise I will do that I don't want to do is the air bike. It is one that I will be doing for a while since I just had knee surgery and will have another surgery in 3-5 months. Once I fully recover, the next exercise I will do and not be enjoying is running since I would have not ran for almost a year.
Thank you for your many wonderful podcasts and interviews. This is a request for a future discussion around Osteo arthritis. I’m finding it to be something I can’t control / prevent or know how to manage as I’m aging now . I’ve been lucky to stay fit and healthy from good habits so far. There may be some new or good insights to deal with this condition that seems to be prevalent. Female hands are at risk. And yet hip arthritis is fixed with a replacement. Big topic it seems.
This is valuable information. Although this type of advice is widely shared on social media, it’s unfortunate that so many people still don't make exercise an integral part of their lifestyle. While it may not always feel enjoyable at first, over time, as you begin to notice the positive impact on both your body and mind, it becomes a powerful motivator to push yourself harder and more frequently. This becomes even more important as we age.
Thank you for sharing such clear and concise information along with actionable steps for a healthy brain 🧠 Your contribution to science humanity is inspiring, thank you so much Dr. Huberman!
Playing on the rope exercise theme, stretch a rope across the room at about neck height. Then in a semi crouched postion walk down the rope line while bobbing underneath the rope and popping up on the side. Step and continue. This boxing drill gets annoying because you’re moving in unaccustomed ways while maintaining balance and rhythm. It makes you coordinate forward movement with upper body flexing. Love your show and P.S. my 17 yr daughter wants to be a neurologist. 🤞😊
I live in Vermont. Would going for a walk outside on a day like today when the air temperature is less than 20 degrees, with a feel-like temperature of 5 degrees, count as deliberate cold exposure? This channel is one of my favorites to listen to, it provides tons of helpful and usable information. Thank you for the good work you do.
Amazing information, had to replay twice just to take good notes. I love to exercise and with this information I am more excited to do so!Healthy brain=healthy life! You did it again; Thanks Professor Huberman!
Hi Andrew, I love your content they are all valuable for everyone. But I observed one thing that you mostly focus on sleeping and assume that mankind depriving themselves from the sleep duration they need. But there are some people out there who can sleep for 12+ hours a day(I think my condition is also related to sleep deprivation, as it's been 3 years since my sleep schedule changed for the bad). Please make a podcast on oversleeping ❤
Excelente podcast, lo comparto con una alumna querida para fundamentarle por qué ejercitarse conmigo va a ayudarle a salvar su próximo examen. Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Can’t wait for your new book coming out in Sept. It would be a great milestone for your birthday, so as a perfect birthday gift for myself! Thank you so much Dr. Huberman for all the great knowledge you have provided.
For the anterior mid-singulate cortex workout, years ago I forced myself to learn how to juggle. It was difficult and seemed futile, but I stuck with it, and it truly feels like an intensely cognitive motor task.
¡Hola Profe! Definitely the most repulsive work out for me is a part of classical ballet class called "barre". I am not gifted with a perfect effortless "turn-out" and "barre" is always the place where I am faced with the harsh truth that "Sixth" position is the only effortless and perfect for me. So "barre" is going to be my add on to my weekly workout routine.Thank You for all Your hard work and care for all of us.
I've been eagerly awaiting your book's release. I sincerely hope you'll narrate the audiobook yourself, am getting both the audio and hardcover versions. A wise individual once observed that aligning our auditory and visual experiences fosters optimal focus.
Andrew, this entire podcast was great. (I need to listen again and take notes and plan how to integrate what you've said). An idea for you.... If you decide you love the rope thing that you currently hate and you need to find another thing that would be challenging and difficult to get precisely 'correct', ***take up dance, in particular West Coast Swing***. It's the most challenging dance there is. You can be dedicated to practice and study of this dance for a lifetime and still find something new and challenging. I'm going to look up the rope thing... but really what I hate is doing dishes. Would that count?
I literally laughed out loud at your closing line. Thank you for sharing your great wealth of knowledge with the world, it is a better place with you in it Dr. Huberman. 1:49:32
Hi Andrew! I love listening to all your talks and I share the love of learning with my students. I’m a dance teacher in SF who love integrating brain science and movement to all ages. Have you ever tried taking ballet? It is amazing for brain health and it keeps evolving as your skill level advances. If you haven’t, it may be something you might not want to do and I encourage you to go for it! ❤
Saint of Well Being 🙏🏼 Thanks, Prof Huberman. A lot of these protocols I've been able to incorporate throughout my life since my early 20s (first cold plunge and hot springs in 2000 with sisters at an Italian island). Unfortunately, not on regular basis. Although, I don't get to do all the mentioned protocols as habitually as I'd prefer. Then again, much of the say jumping, sprinting, long distance cycle I must give credit to having an active/athletic 5 yo kid 🥰
Good evening Professor Huberman. I was just watching a couple of your podcasts and your statement about nutrition science being all over the place caught my attention. I have a guest recommendation that may interest you. Deana Minich, Phd. Akl of her information is ALWAYS backed by PubMed & NIH studies and the like. On a side note she has decreased her biological age which I found impressive. I feel that you could possibly find her as a very good representative of science backed nutritional information that your followers would appreciate. I appreciate your passion and appreciate you greatly. With Gratitude 🙏 Thank you for helping me learn and giving me actionable tips towards bettering my life in many different areas. You truly make a difference ❣️🙏
Hey Andrew, thankyou so much for this episode! So rich and full of interesting details about the brain and body in general. I've learned a lot today! And for the cortex initiation, I am going to start with weight movements further away from my body so that my core gets activated. I absolutely hate the tension in my core muscles when it comes down to it! So let's see. And what I love to hear more about is how to deprogram yourself in the moment. From old habits to instant clarity. And how the brain reacts to this, with reforming neurological pathways ect. Just in general what 'consciously pausing' your activities, does to the mind-body-spirit complex. Maybe for a lab-essentials episode so that it can be immediately applicable for our daily lives? This is just a prompt though! And as always, looking forward to your next episode! Much Love and Power ❤
most people would rather drive to a store or order online rather than hike or bike to get their groceries, farmers markets are the best way to support local grown, yes you can find deals! focus on daily frugal habits avoiding food stabilizers like baking your own bread, or growing herbs in the windowsill, long distance endurance or kickboxing teaches unbreakable cardio and a better mindset, get off the phones get outside get into nature live somewhere without liberal pressure to act out or posture, read more books like toxic parents, homecoming, leadership books, business books, ayurveda books (way better than pharma) and avoid negative media as much as possible. if you notice the folks that are the most upset are pretending to be happy inside and just want drama as they live a boring life waiting for things to happen or waiting for things to react to. people either take action or dont. enjoy the process of working on a better life.

Thanks, Andrew, for another great episode! Always appreciate how you make science so accessible and engaging. Looking forward to more!
If I can provide you with more than I am currently capable of, I will.
Thx Doc. In a house full of teenagers, most of them dealing with bad mental health since the covid lockdowns, and every day i urged, pleaded, begged them to hike, workout, do something else then staring on a screen. Finally my oldest boys are hitting the gym now and feeling fantastic. I hope for everyone that they discover the results of gettng off your arse and get moving. Respect and kind regards from the Netherlands.
Modeling the behavior for them is the best way
That is great!
As always- Excellent podcast - exercise is the antidote.
Can your teenagers call mine and motivate them please?!? It's my great daily battle trying to get my 3 boys away from screens
Tell them to spend more time outside and their problems will go away
1. Slow and long cardiovascular
2. Fast and short Cardiovascular
3. Time tension resistance training
4. Put pressure on bones- example jumping exercise
5. Do something phycologically and physically challenging.
Do these above points atleast a week, for maximum brain benifits.
Dr. Huberman, thank you for being so unselfish and so kind by sharing your knowledge. You have changed my life, you have made such a great impact and have given me so much hope and inspiration to stay strong mentally, physically and spiritually. When I struggle with thoughts keeping me down or waking me up in the middle of the night, I find comfort by listening to you. I cannot thank you enough. I am so grateful for you.
Becoming the person we needed during tough times is a powerful motivator for both personal and professional development. I wish everyone reading this the best of luck in achieving success!
I woke up at 5 am, accidentally. Normally I go to sleep at 5 am. Anyways, I thought I will play youtube to fall back to sleep faster, now it’s 6am, I have already had cold shower, I’ve exercised, I’m eating breakfast and getting ready to go to work sharp. Just this video alone already changed my life in a way

Thank you 🙏
My favorite thing about this channel is that none of the topics stress me out. It’s nice to turn off current events and work stress at the end of the day and just learn for the sake of learning. I sincerely appreciate the effort you’re putting into the content.
The part about how small changes in daily habits can drastically impact mental and physical health really stood out to me. Definitely something I’ll try to implement!
@@MuhammadMaaz-k3s me too!
I discovered the channel last year spring, when I decided to quit smoking and vaping, and found the episode about nicotine - then through the year, I ended up watching all videos on this channel multiple times, and it changed my life for the better! I quit nicotine, and reducing my daily caffeine intake as well, and I sleep much better! starting the year with going outside immediately every day for some exercise, and it helps fixing my messy sleep routine, and went from waking up after 1pm, to be able to wake up hours earlier~ I'm excited for this year, and gonna watch every new episode!
Nice!
I struggle so much with my sleep schedule, I have no issue sleeping, I have issue falling asleep and waking up at a reasonable time.
Since i was young i was already exposed to exercise, and i'm now 26 yrs old and i still execise every day even if it's simple cardio or streching it always help me get active. And i'm working too, thanks you Andrew
Nice work. Keep it up man
We created a free program for kids 14 years ago based on this science, and the program Active Kids & Minds (formerly BOKS) grew from one school to 14,000 across the globe, with parents and teachers talking about the positive difference they see in their kids:-) kids need to play and move, Thank you Dr. Huberman.
Andrew, you inspired me to start an experiment of giving up all my bad habits overnight for a year. I'm documenting it on my channel, hoping to bring some value to people.
Never skip brain day ❗️🗣️💯
Nice 😊
Wow another great podcast!! I work out 7 days a week and I do something different every single day. This includes resistance training or it could be weighted calisthenics, I have a background in martial arts so it could be a kickboxing workout with some exercises thrown in during the breaks. I also make sure I do some kind of Sprint training at least once a week and that's tough. I am 68 years old and I've been doing this consistently since I was in the military. I was actually in the Navy and during my first enlistment I lost over 50 lb so you can imagine I can definitely relate to David Goggins. He is such an inspiration to so many people! I continue to improve even as I get older and I've lost even more weight and I consider myself pretty strong for my age. I guess the exercise that I am going to pick as far as something I really don't want to do is jumping rope. Now this is something I did years ago and was pretty good at it but I got to the point where I just got tired of doing it and it felt very frustrating but I'm going to get back into it!! Thanks again for a great podcast and great information!!!🏋️🏋️🏃🏃🥋🥋🥊🥊
Thank God I found you!!! I was recently hospitalized for extreme vertigo, but was sent home with no answers as to why😢 just medicated for symptoms! When I say extreme, I mean I felt like I was being sucked into a tunnel at lightning speed. I wasn't even standing. I was just waking up from a deep sleep! I did my best just to forget about the situation and lied still until it's subsided but then it came back hours later and every time I went to lie down in a Supine position it would happen again that's why I ended up being admitted into the hospital I'm convinced it has something to do with my spinal fluid when it ruptured and formed Tarluv cyst in my spine a decade ago. I suffer from severe chronic nerve pain I will be following you and watching your videos and maybe at least I'll get help on being able to sleep and control my pain better and maybe live somewhat of a normal life
I, too have nerve pain (both facial nerve pain & nerve pain in my back [resulting from a botched psoas tendon release, when my surgeon accidentally severed the tendon). I can not keep a "positive mindset" if I use exogenous pharma (prescriptions), so I avail myself of endogenous pharma: the vassopressin, oxcytocin, dopamine & endorphins which I gain from cardio, HiiT, LAUGHTER and other sources. These chemicals are FAR MORE EFFECTIVE than every analgesic, narcotic, pharmaceutical prescription, alcohol or the illicit drugs I tried decades ago.
@DanceintheRaine666
Sorry to hear about your suffering from chronic pain, but totally admire your fight! I agree💯 about your advice for how to cope with pain! Thank you for your advice and taking the time to comment! I actually play games and watch videos and comedies try to redirect my brain away from the pain, it is definitely a challenge minute by minute! I do not take pain meds and after being hospitalized during the summer for cardio issues being diagnosed with congestive heart failure enlargement of my heart as a result of being bed-bound mostly for almost a decade I have increased my cardio but now with this excessive intense vertigo, I have not attended any cardio and it's been weeks and I'm just now getting around to walking again. I am taking several medications for my blood pressure heart and my connective tissue disorder I take hydroxychloroquine I just now started adding the Gabapentin they want me to take it three times a day but I take 300 mg only one time a day for the nerve pain although I'm not sure that it's helping 🙄 although I'm on the dark side of 60 in my 50s I could do circles around 20-year-olds! I credited my healthiness to a near-death experience in my late twenties that I overcame and then I proceeded to bodybuild do aerobics and martial arts! There's not a lot known about the Tarlov cyst the spinal fluid ruptures and it fills your nerves mine are at the end of my spine it affects my entire body that I am on fire and I feel like I have been beaten with a bat all the time the pain is non-stop and relentless! I thought I'd already experienced the worst of it but now with these weird things occurring like the intense vertigo being sucked into a dark hole now I have another mountain to climb because they do not know why it's occurring or what's causing it😪
I wish you the best
Stay strong 🤗
Ive been on a 30 month journey of both becoming a runner and learning how to play piano, guitar, and produce music.
Im going for the Gold, While welcoming Platinum, but would gladly accept Bronze.😊
Im 43
I told myself, intuitively perhaps, that becoming a good runner would help me become a solid musician.
I sit down at my pc and look at youtube, and I'm like: "oh yeah, its Monday! I forgot, and there is new Huberman episode" then I clicked on the subscriptions feed and saw this video and went: "YEEEEEEESSS!!!" so happy
I love bavel app❤️🥰 how this app helps me make informed decisions about my health
2025: My now 94-year-old mother has always done light workouts in our living room since the early 1970s. She bounced back recently from an ulcer as a result of bad medication. When you mentioned "kick up a knee", this is exacly what she is presently doing as a result of recent PT. So many great podcasts, Andrew. Thatnks for sharing your work!
Exercises I despise and commit to not skipping them this year: burpees, mountain climbers at a fast pace, plank jacks and press jacks? See a theme? I do not enjoy sprinting and I will make it happen!
Thank you, Andrew, for showing how exercise boosts both brain and body health. 🧠💪 Such a great reminder of the power of movement-appreciate how clear and actionable this is!

What an NPC comment
As if this isn't already in this description lol
Anyone reading this NPC comment in 2025?!?!?!?
✔️
I am thankful to all people who have compassion about human’s health ❤
I preordered your book in June of 2024 and have been really looking forward to geeting in April.
Now I'm equally excited to wait until September knowing that it will be even better.
Thank you sir.
Thank you for your comment. I apologize for the delay, but it’s to get the information is up-to-date as possible. Wishing you a great start to the year!
Excited for the book, congratulations. I really appreciate what you’ve done for human beings during your time on the channel (and podcasts, etc). I’m always interested in learning more about ourselves and will definitely be purchasing the book when released. I know it can be tough at times, but pressure (and heat) makes diamonds ;), and you’re on your way to becoming one. Thank you for all that you do Dr. Huberman. Keep up the great work!
I hope that taking the staircase to the 4th floor at the office this morning stimulated my AMCC 🤗 I'm not a morning person so I really hated it but did it anyway 💪🏼 Thanks for all the wonderful episodes Andrew!
My spouse is the great activator of my AMCC that’s why I stay with her.
Everyday my brain fights my body to do things. My spirit knows what to do. When your mind,body and spirit are in alignment you are at your best. Body is disciplined, mind is disciplined. Mental health conditions disapate and you feel well overall.
I watched this episode twice.. Got inspired to workout more.. Peterson episode was long and difficult to understand, I couldn't grasp much but I started devoting time for prayer which feels really good..
Loved this podcast-it’s especially helpful for people working in corporate jobs and giving their best for their company. Adding Sudoku to your routine can make a real difference. Thanks, Andrew!
I have been implementing Time undertension before it was called TUT back in 2011-2012. Glad to see that many have been using it now and popularizing it. Also, implementing a dumbbell step up movement even though I despise it BUT I know that it works and keeps my mind engaged! I love and appreciate today’s topic. Thank you Andrew! ❤
Turkish get up. I hate it. I had intended to become efficient at them in 2024 , but I hate them so much I stopped. You’ve just given me a great reason to start again. Thanks 🙏🏻
That podcast did fit like a glove to me. I have bipolar disorder and been learning english for a couple of years, and between all my highs and lows, one thing that i really realize is that when im really aroused, motivated or high, i can really notice a big difference in learning and the acquisition of vocabulary. The same goes for when i am very depressed, it’s just water off ducks back.
Now i had the confirmation. It’s been very challenging, but ill keep it up.
Thank you so much for your invaluable work, huberman, really looking forward to your new book.
Shoutout from brazil!
Never seen exercise as simply elevating the heart rate.
It’s so much more than that and I’m grateful you explained it so in depth for us, Andrew!
This is such a great breakdown of the topic! Love how Andrew Huberman makes complex science so accessible and practical.
… WOW!…Dr. Andrew H. You are pure perfection and that is the reason I will continue exercising which means the World to me…Thank you.
Dr. Andrew H, you have a clone trying to reach me…. I am moving with caution in there.
Oh. Giving Our Body what it Wants in the Form of Movement or Our Brain What it Wants...Peace...Performance..for Health and Longevity
Fabulous Topic ... Huge Blessings Andrew and Everyone's Brain Health 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Hatha Yoga. After listening, I know that the things that I don't look forward to in this practice are the very things that will benefit my anterior mid singular cortex. The slow pace, the near exact positions / postures, the holding time, the breathing pattern, effort😅.
Thank you for encouraging me to start again. ❤
Your podcast is not challenging at all so it does not benefitting my AMCC, I love it all, thank you Dr. Huberman from East Java Indonesia ❤

I always noticed this bout of energy and “feel great attitude” after doing incline 7.5 walking at 3mph. If anyone has heard of runners high, that’s the best way to explain it. This video just clarified what I experience way more! While also teaching me how to use more it effectively and active it via other methods!
Dr Andrew Huberman, Firstly I wanted to thank you for teaching us and sharing your knowledge, you can’t imagine how beneficial it is.
Secondly I will say that since I’ve got 3 surgeries on my knee 5 years ago because I tore almost all my ligaments, I hate doing single leg hip thrust, my hamstrings are too weak and my knee is in discomfortable pain, but I’m committed to do it, because the mid singular cortex is my favorite region in the brain!
Thirdly can I ask you maybe do some teaching broadcast about the brain and their regions? I’m a first year medical student, and I find your teaching way really useful and I think it can benefit to all of us to understand a little more about our brains and the functions it performs, thank you for your attention!
I listened this as a podcast in the morning while exercising but I came to your TH-cam channel to finally say Thank You for what you’re doing. I have been very interested in brain health and memory for quite some time now so this episode seemed super valuable. Thanks again! I subscribed to your TH-cam channel as well.
@ your handle doesn’t match with that of the host.
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL YEAR ITS FELT SOOO LOOONG!
Huberman, I really enjoyed this episode! I would like to request a future episode focusing on medicinal mushrooms, their consumption, supplementation, and their impact on brain health, particularly ergothioneine. There is a wealth of research highlighting the incredible health benefits of Lion's Mane, Chaga, Turkey Tail, and Reishi mushrooms. Thank you for making such a positive impact in the world and for changing my life for the better!
Mushroom coffee kept me safe from the convid.
Dr.Huberman you are the best thank you for your knowledge and sharing it without any cost to us you are a great professor and human being I have learned so much and I have been able to share this to other people thank you 🙏
I am so happy to know that your book coming up "Protocols" is going to be in other languages! I can't wait for my mom to read it in Spanish
Wow.. I am going to really remember this episode a long time😅.. I watched most of it whilst on my rowing machine! and it made me smile. Thank you for all that you do. 💙
Thank you for providing such an actionable protocol. I’ve been lifting weights six or seven days a week for about two years now but in 2025 I plan to start to a more hybrid training style like the one you give so thank you! Side note: I’m gonna start jump roping to promote growth of the amcc, not looking forward to and looking forward to it at the same time 😭😭
We appreciate the delay in order to update it! Thank you very much for everything you do for us ❤️❤️❤️ you are beyond amazing ❤️❤️❤️
A lot of things can be learned from this episode.❤ !
Yep!😍
Longevity for all 💜
I no longer overtrain thanks to Bevel’s smart recommendations about my health ❤️🥰
Look like I found what I’ll be listening to tomorrow while I work! But for now, it’s just after midnight here, and I have to go to bed. Thanks in advance!
Never been this early, love your work Andrew. I really look up to you and that’s not something I do a lot of. Thank you for your work!
Thank you ANDREW for actionable information 👍❤️
Thanks, Andrew! The level of detail you’ve provided is exceptional and very helpful for understanding how to live a happy, healthy, and long life. I’d love to see if there’s any scientific data available on other forms of exercise, such as yoga (and its different styles), as well as qigong or tai chi. It’s often said that practices like qigong and tai chi help strengthen the deeper, smaller muscles in the body. I think there’s a gap in understanding that quick and intense exercises aren’t always the best option-ancient practices like these offer significant physical and emotional benefits as well.
thanks for enlightening how exercise chains to spinal cords and the vagus nerve and adrenals then the nts and locus ceruleus. Nice to know that learning how to make core centric movements is key.
And that these pathways resolve much more quickly than the hypothalamus to adrenaline pathway.
And reminding us the value of jumping.
Didn't know about the connection between consecutive bad nights of sleep and exercise.
“Some sort of really coordinated specific motor activity that has to be done precisely , or very precisely , before you could say you’re done it right…”.. Dr.Huberman… it’s time to hit the dance floor!!! And take some dancing lessons…yes: it has to be Tango 😁👍🏻😘🕺
i have been in the process of moving out for the past two weeks and I haven't worked out as a result. It definitely took a toll on my mental health but I am going back on track now.
Outstanding episode. And I do not know where you live, but I hope you and yours are well and safe. Sending my love to LA and all those suffering this enormous tragedy and devastation.
I really appreciate these type of podcasts to inform and to get better health! Sometimes I am not sure if I fully understand the content, it’s complex… I need to do more exercise for my brain health lol
I will be doing a plank every other day for about 4-5 minutes. I've been doing it on and off a few years and I still hate it, so I think it's a good choice. Hopefully my ACC will benefit. Thank you for this one.
Hi doctor,
I'm a fan of your work and have been listening it for a good while. I have always wanted to ask you on your personal journey of becoming this level. From your childhood days, your choices, your academics, how you ended up in science and too at teaching,life as teacher, the struggle etc.
Whenever there's a space, consider this subject too. People will love it and would find immense inspiration to look forward on their journey too
Recommendation… Because Dr. Huberman is a professional educator. He sticks to professional on his podcast but if you catch him on somebody else’s podcast he shares his personal side. ☝🏽😎🎬
I always enjoy listening to your episodes. I majored in biology with an emphasis on neurobiology and always find your episodes and the research fascinating.
The exercise I will do that I don't want to do is the air bike. It is one that I will be doing for a while since I just had knee surgery and will have another surgery in 3-5 months. Once I fully recover, the next exercise I will do and not be enjoying is running since I would have not ran for almost a year.
The final common path of the entire nervous system is movement
Love you Dr Huberman we learned a lot from you ❤
Thank you for your many wonderful podcasts and interviews. This is a request for a future discussion around Osteo arthritis. I’m finding it to be something I can’t control / prevent or know how to manage as I’m aging now . I’ve been lucky to stay fit and healthy from good habits so far. There may be some new or good insights to deal with this condition that seems to be prevalent. Female hands are at risk. And yet hip arthritis is fixed with a replacement. Big topic it seems.
This is valuable information. Although this type of advice is widely shared on social media, it’s unfortunate that so many people still don't make exercise an integral part of their lifestyle. While it may not always feel enjoyable at first, over time, as you begin to notice the positive impact on both your body and mind, it becomes a powerful motivator to push yourself harder and more frequently. This becomes even more important as we age.
That book is going to be so popular!
Thank you for sharing such clear and concise information along with actionable steps for a healthy brain 🧠
Your contribution to science humanity is inspiring, thank you so much Dr. Huberman!
Playing on the rope exercise theme, stretch a rope across the room at about neck height. Then in a semi crouched postion walk down the rope line while bobbing underneath the rope and popping up on the side. Step and continue. This boxing drill gets annoying because you’re moving in unaccustomed ways while maintaining balance and rhythm. It makes you coordinate forward movement with upper body flexing. Love your show and P.S. my 17 yr daughter wants to be a neurologist. 🤞😊
I live in Vermont. Would going for a walk outside on a day like today when the air temperature is less than 20 degrees, with a feel-like temperature of 5 degrees, count as deliberate cold exposure? This channel is one of my favorites to listen to, it provides tons of helpful and usable information. Thank you for the good work you do.
Amazing information, had to replay twice just to take good notes. I love to exercise and with this information I am more excited to do so!Healthy brain=healthy life! You did it again; Thanks Professor Huberman!
Hi Andrew, I love your content they are all valuable for everyone. But I observed one thing that you mostly focus on sleeping and assume that mankind depriving themselves from the sleep duration they need. But there are some people out there who can sleep for 12+ hours a day(I think my condition is also related to sleep deprivation, as it's been 3 years since my sleep schedule changed for the bad). Please make a podcast on oversleeping ❤
Excelente podcast, lo comparto con una alumna querida para fundamentarle por qué ejercitarse conmigo va a ayudarle a salvar su próximo examen. Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Can’t wait for your new book coming out in Sept. It would be a great milestone for your birthday, so as a perfect birthday gift for myself! Thank you so much Dr. Huberman for all the great knowledge you have provided.
Thank you so much for these actionable tools! Glad to hear them from someone who does the talking and the walking as well, hats off to you sir!
Wow!! I watched every second! For me, I hate weights, so I guess that’s what I will do!!😅
Been waiting for a solo episode 🫡❤️
For the anterior mid-singulate cortex workout, years ago I forced myself to learn how to juggle. It was difficult and seemed futile, but I stuck with it, and it truly feels like an intensely cognitive motor task.
¡Hola Profe! Definitely the most repulsive work out for me is a part of classical ballet class called "barre". I am not gifted with a perfect effortless "turn-out" and "barre" is always the place where I am faced with the harsh truth that "Sixth" position is the only effortless and perfect for me. So "barre" is going to be my add on to my weekly workout routine.Thank You for all Your hard work and care for all of us.
I am listening to this podcast whilst exercising ☺️
I've been eagerly awaiting your book's release. I sincerely hope you'll narrate the audiobook yourself, am getting both the audio and hardcover versions. A wise individual once observed that aligning our auditory and visual experiences fosters optimal focus.
I love the fact you are going to publish a book
Andrew, this entire podcast was great. (I need to listen again and take notes and plan how to integrate what you've said). An idea for you.... If you decide you love the rope thing that you currently hate and you need to find another thing that would be challenging and difficult to get precisely 'correct', ***take up dance, in particular West Coast Swing***. It's the most challenging dance there is. You can be dedicated to practice and study of this dance for a lifetime and still find something new and challenging. I'm going to look up the rope thing... but really what I hate is doing dishes. Would that count?
I literally laughed out loud at your closing line. Thank you for sharing your great wealth of knowledge with the world, it is a better place with you in it Dr. Huberman. 1:49:32
Hi Andrew! I love listening to all your talks and I share the love of learning with my students. I’m a dance teacher in SF who love integrating brain science and movement to all ages. Have you ever tried taking ballet? It is amazing for brain health and it keeps evolving as your skill level advances. If you haven’t, it may be something you might not want to do and I encourage you to go for it! ❤
Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters. ☀️
Excited for the new book! On the behalf of humanity, thank you for your service!
Saint of Well Being 🙏🏼
Thanks, Prof Huberman.
A lot of these protocols I've been able to incorporate throughout my life since my early 20s (first cold plunge and hot springs in 2000 with sisters at an Italian island). Unfortunately, not on regular basis. Although, I don't get to do all the mentioned protocols as habitually as I'd prefer.
Then again, much of the say jumping, sprinting, long distance cycle I must give credit to having an active/athletic 5 yo kid 🥰
I listen to this every time I workout.
Bravo Andrew- Thanks heaps 🙏🦾🌸
Gains and brains would have been a better title
Good evening Professor Huberman.
I was just watching a couple of your podcasts and your statement about nutrition science being all over the place caught my attention.
I have a guest recommendation that may interest you. Deana Minich, Phd. Akl of her information is ALWAYS backed by PubMed & NIH studies and the like. On a side note she has decreased her biological age which I found impressive. I feel that you could possibly find her as a very good representative of science backed nutritional information that your followers would appreciate.
I appreciate your passion and appreciate you greatly.
With Gratitude 🙏
Thank you for helping me learn and giving me actionable tips towards bettering my life in many different areas. You truly make a difference ❣️🙏
This is great thanks!
Excellent episode Dr HUBERMAN . I wish you a happy new year and thank you !
Thank you! Happy new year to you as well!
My boy Ryan Glatt at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute has been one of the pioneers of this field. Good to see it hitting the mainstream!
Hey Andrew, thankyou so much for this episode! So rich and full of interesting details about the brain and body in general. I've learned a lot today!
And for the cortex initiation, I am going to start with weight movements further away from my body so that my core gets activated. I absolutely hate the tension in my core muscles when it comes down to it! So let's see.
And what I love to hear more about is how to deprogram yourself in the moment. From old habits to instant clarity. And how the brain reacts to this, with reforming neurological pathways ect. Just in general what 'consciously pausing' your activities, does to the mind-body-spirit complex. Maybe for a lab-essentials episode so that it can be immediately applicable for our daily lives? This is just a prompt though!
And as always, looking forward to your next episode! Much Love and Power ❤
most people would rather drive to a store or order online rather than hike or bike to get their groceries, farmers markets are the best way to support local grown, yes you can find deals! focus on daily frugal habits avoiding food stabilizers like baking your own bread, or growing herbs in the windowsill, long distance endurance or kickboxing teaches unbreakable cardio and a better mindset, get off the phones get outside get into nature live somewhere without liberal pressure to act out or posture, read more books like toxic parents, homecoming, leadership books, business books, ayurveda books (way better than pharma) and avoid negative media as much as possible. if you notice the folks that are the most upset are pretending to be happy inside and just want drama as they live a boring life waiting for things to happen or waiting for things to react to. people either take action or dont. enjoy the process of working on a better life.
