Andrew Huberman is a Professor of Neurobiology at Stanford University and host of the Huberman Lab podcast. In this episode, Andrew begins with a fascinating discussion about the brain, including the role of the prefrontal cortex in adjusting your ruleset to match your setting, the neural circuitry underlying the ability of stress to limit creativity and problem-solving, the effect of belief on physiology and performance, and more. He speaks about vision being our “superpower” and compares this to animals that rely more on other senses. Next, he opens up about his personal journey, the struggles and losses he has overcome, the value of therapy, and the many great people who helped him along the way. He speaks to his love of biology and discovery and the importance of staying true to your passion rather than being driven purely by ambition. Lastly, the conversation includes a look to the future of Andrew's scientific work and podcast as well as his unique approach to communicating science and tackling the issue of scientific illiteracy.

Outlive is sold out in Kinokuniya Bangkok. Flew back to Manila empty handed 😢.
Thank you Dr. Peter for getting Dr. Andrew to tell about his story. This is a whole new insight into his past which is not out there!
Thank you for hosting me Peter. I have tremendous respect for you as a physician, public educator, family man and friend. Thank you for the opportunity to share about science and the challenges and beauty of life. A lot of the personal stuff I never anticipated sharing but I’m hoping in doing so, someone out there struggling to balance themselves will benefit. Thank you Peter; I am honored to know you and to have you as a friend.
Is that andrew hoopermin?
Nothing work on mind no meditation ,medication these only work for some time temporary solution but the thing change my life is OBSERVATION without thoughts observe thoughts observe pain no mater physical or psychology it works magical it melt emotion i want to know about what happen in brain when we observe anything without thoughts? Andrew Sir please try this.
OBSERVATION is art but when we observe fear without escape fear disapper cease pain reduce key is seeing without thoughts
Like thought is fear without thought there is no fear
Fantastic interview Andrew you have a terrific mind. I also want to thank you for sharing your personal struggles as you always seemed so perfect. I was relieved you weren’t, and I mean that with the utmost most respect!
Andrew Huberman is genuinely one of the best things to happen to the internet, probably ever, in my opinion.
Exactly!!!
Andrew is good but Peter is amazing.
@@DaveG-qd6ug I agree! I'm getting close to finishing Outlive and man, its gold
Both Andrew and Peter!!
@@DaveG-qd6ug Both are amazing.
I don’t throw this word lightly but these two changed my life.
Love how vulnerable Andrew gets here. You guys should legitimately start a podcast together. It'd be amazing.
I’m a neuropsychologist practicing in both NY and CA (my postdoc was at Stanford in 2005). I’ve listened to every single Huberman podcast episode and every single Dr. Attia podcast episode and to have these two men together was amazing. I also have never heard Andrew’s backstory and I’m delighted to hear he’s a Hoffman graduate, as am I. Thank you for both creating such meaningful content and disseminating important information to the general public. Keep up the good work!
What differentiates you from a regular psychologist?
After years of `60 min podcasts and specific topics with aimless banter...
I can safely say that Peter and Andrew have revolutionized the podcast experience, into a true university-level encounter.
I've gained more knowledge from these 2, than anything else hands down.
I have checklists plastered all over my room, of their suggestions.
Thank you gentlemen.
Dear Andrew,
I am writing this note to express my heartfelt gratitude for sharing your honest life story with us. Your transparency and vulnerability have touched me deeply, and I feel honored to have had the chance to learn about your journey.
The courage it took to reveal your personal experiences is truly commendable. It is a testament to your strength and resilience, which have undoubtedly carried you through the challenges you've faced. Your story is a beautiful reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is hope, and that growth and self-discovery can emerge from adversity.
Your openness has not only been inspiring, but it has also allowed others to connect with you on a profound level. Your willingness to be genuine and candid has fostered a sense of understanding and empathy, reminding us all of the power of sharing our own stories with one another.
You have touched the hearts of many, including mine, and your honesty has left an indelible impact. Your life story is a beacon of hope for those who may be struggling, offering reassurance that they are not alone in their journey.
❤
Wonderful
Absolutely ❤
Dr. Huberman and Dr. Attia are absolute class acts, and they are inspiring generations of scholars aiming to make the world a better place and human experience a more pleasurable one.
Peter's genuine laugh at Andrew's 'Wasn't consulted at the design phase' is very wholesome
I'm applying to medical school this year and I just wanted to say that the both of you, Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Andrew Huberman, have been a huge influence on my journey. The fact that podcasts like this exist and that we can listen to what, in my opinion, are the greatest minds in science at present, is beyond words. Such an honor to listen to you both. Thank you so much for sharing your insights with the world. ✨️
Both great communicators - I could listen to the two of them talk all day, even though it's not at all my area of expertise. I learn so much.
Having a speech impediment myself, the story about how Andrew Huberman decided not to work with someone who was rude to someone with a stutter, really touched me. Thank you for the great episode.
I was telling my wife, Stephanie, how much I enjoyed your latest interview with Andrew, and mentioned his early departure from the Harvard post doc and how it landed him with Ben Barres as his post doc advisor. She said “Ben, really I met him at Cold Spring Harbor in ‘07?” Reminded me of what a small world it is. Keep putting out the great content!
Initially, I didn’t intend to watch the full 3 hours. Couldn’t stop. Would love to see Huberman interview Attia next.
He did a few days ago
He has done it twice already
Check out his hubermanlab podcast
2:39:31 "You'll be teaching the same course Ben taught me." That line broke me. I feel really lucky to have heard this conversation
Andrew Huberman is a veritable fountain of knowledge . Can listen to him for hours.
Dear Peter and Andrew, many thanks for all you have done, are doing and will be doing!
Hear this gave me some hope and strenght!
One Love!
Always forward, never ever backward!!
☀️☀️☀️
💚💛❤️
🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼
I'm so grateful to both these fantastic science communicators - and delighted to see them chatting together
Peter and Andrew, love your honesty, back stories, work, accomplishments and podcasts. Thank you both for your
brain power, sharing and caring!
I can't put into words the impact that both of you have had on my life. Thank you so much for what you do.
Super podcast and Andrew’s life story meant it was going to be a full listen in one session - just couldn’t stop listening! Amazing background and frank and fascinating about Andrew’s key moments, major struggles and joys - great to hear Andrew being interviewed - and thank you Peter for hosting and creating and asking the right questions in the end!
Andrew your backstory truly is inspiring. I have been dealing with a troublesome childhood myself, divorced parents, ‘wrong’ friends, all very alike. In the end found my passion in health sciences, and my lovely girlfriend I met. Great episode guys. Love from the Netherlands.
they put him with the mother who iscolated him from the dad. mother couldn't cope, they take him away. I swear they get the dad out the picture because a bunch of pedophiles run things. Pedo's love single mothers
WOW, my two favourite podcast people in one spot. You are both so intelligent, interesting and easy to listen to. The only thing that would top this is a 3 person podcast with Rich Roll, he is awesome as well. I know you guys are all very busy but a three way podcast with Attia, Huberman and Roll would blow up TH-cam.
Really amazing podcast, the fastest 3 hours I’ve spent in a while. Thanks so much 🙏
Spectacular interview and much respect to the humility and authenticity to Huberman
That was amazing. I loved Andrew’s backstory. Thank you for talking about everything.
This was actually about as beneficial as Andrew and Yours normal science podcasting. Hearing how even someone like Andrew started from essentially nothing, troubled upbringing, with all of his troubles, and is now impacting millions despite of it. Although you may not have “covered” anything. You definitely uncovered something that I think many viewers appreciate.
@hubermanlab thnx for sharing your personal stories. It’s nice to be able to relate to the human behind the powerhouse that you are. All the best!!
He seems like such a nice guy with the best of intentions and I think that’s what draws people in.
What an incredible interview. Peter and Andrew are both a gift to mankind.
Any podcast of Huberman and Attia is worth listening to not twice but three times.
Great podcast, I'm an avid fan of you both and this was amazing - great questions coupled with an unexpected openness on the part of Dr Huberman. Strength through adversity and doing what you believe are strong messages...... There are not enough male role models for young men ( and women) of today that show despite a difficult childhood and ongoing life issues that one can still live a meaningful life. You are both examples of this. Thank you
Now this is a duo I’ve been looking forward to ❤
This is such an amazing conversation. Reviewing my AP Psych students this week on Brain and Sensation and you have touched on so much in just a few minutes. WONDERFUL!
I know this wasn’t the agenda for your conversation, but to hear Andrew story is priceless for many of us. And to hear his plans for the future, I’m even more excited to continue financially support him and his efforts. I would love to see more involvement around women and stem. I don’t make much money, nor did I have opportunities in education, so I’m happy to try and provide to others what I did not have, and giving me a means to do it by financing what I can to you and your projects. Thank you Andrew. it’s funny we are the about the same age and it’s wonderful to see what you’ve done with your life even with all the challenges faced. ❤ To continued personal
growth and education younger generations, you will forever have my support.
Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia are both gifts to mankind.
Andrew, it might be semantics, but I think the word you're looking for is joy.
Passion would be a good descriptive as well.
@@primrosed2338 Perhaps, though passion is usually accompanied by ambition. Joy is pure, its own reward.
I am not sure it is. Or maybe it is - but the ambition is directed towards the thing itself. It's more internally directed than externally if that makes sense.
In this podcast:
A Little bit of neurology and physiology.
And the entire life story of Andrew 😅
wow what a beautiful interview 🤲🏻
So grateful for you both!
Genuinely excited for this episode! So appreciate both Peter and Andrew! My family has greatly benefited from both of these dudes! Thanks for your hard work and sharing a slice of your friendship with us!
What a great interview!! Both of you are so humble with a kind heart!!
Brain and body scientists combined - excellent combination and fascinating conversation.
God bless you all. Thank you. Your discussions make life meaningful.
I cannot thank you enough, both of you. Such sparkling intelligence, enormous effort put into your fields and incandescent spirit that enriches us all.
These two are absolutely fantastic
Amazing, amazing podcast and story of REAL life from two earnest and brilliant humans. I am so grateful for both. Peter's book (1/3 through) is SO good. Both of these podcasts have stimulated my curiosity for science, health. But most of all I am constantly amazed at how well they teach about human bodies and brains. Thank you.
What a treat, and inspiration, to hear these early formative stories from one of my great heroes, thank you!
There are some amazing role models for young men today if looking in the right places. Tremendous conversation, thanks to both of you!
TRUE
it is so very kind for both of you to give back to the general community. giving spark to the future generation that will make discoveries that may save us all. showing folks, a glimpse of how rewarding Andrews life struggle was wonderful. thank you both for your candor and love for the sciences.
I am highly amused to see Peter wearing Andrew's signature outfit.
Literally the best of the best having the most enthralling and cosmically helpful conversations I’ve heard in a very long time. My mind and emotions were fully engaged and ran the gamut.
Always enjoy hearing both men speak. I’ve learned a ton and have used quite a bit of it in practice observing human behavior and better understanding a lot of the why behind how we are knitted together.
Super deep, enjoyed knowing the personal side of Dr. Andrew Huberman, the challenges he'd to surmount to become who we know him as today! May he grow from strength to strength 🖖🏻
I appreciated his insights on the importance of staying true to your passion and not being driven purely by ambition.
This is an amazing episode! It's great to see that your relationship helps the conversation flow to places that we hadn't had an opportunity to witness before .
Thank you for sharing with us all the love you have for knowledge!
Emotional episode, thank you both, i always learn something about life with you. Cheers from France
You guys have amazing chemistry. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to delve into personal and scientific endeavors, especially the real price of mental health.
Absolutely captivating conversation! I loved the information, vulnerability and openness. I’ve learned so much. ❤
Another excellent interview. I love listening to intelligent people conversing. Amazing work guys.
Halfway through watching this superb episode here in New Zealand. One of your respective best episodes to date. Thank you to you both for your contributions to science & health. Hope to meet you both in person one day in near future. Keep up the great work. TYFYIIS
Thank you for this conversation. How one life story can be a lesson to remember. Nicely crafted time from both of you. So many good stimuli you offer.
best start to my monday morning 🎉 thankyou both
For sure
The brilliant scientific works of both these magnificent men took a second seat to the absolute power of the personal story/ journey. Deep healing , learning, teaching, serving possible when mission including suffering, are alignered with a Love yet beyond our comprehension. What a joy this podcast was. Would like to hear Dr. Atria's story also. Brilliant interview.
Thank you both so much for all that you do. You two are by far my favorite place to come for this type of knowledge. Came across both of you on Rogan and am very thankful for it. There is so much free knowledge there that is incredibly important. I’ve been sharing you both with my wife and also my brothers. Thanks again!
1:41:00 man, I LOVE how peter always finds a way to mention Ayrton Senna’s name in any conversation he has 😂😂😂😂
The different evolutionary visual adaptations of different animals are fascinating!
Thank you for giving us so much of your time. This was awesome.
You two are an absolute delight to listen to. Looking forward for your future podcasts and collaborations. Have learned a lot from both of you and your effort in bringing scientific information to general public is incredible. Keep up the good work🎉
These two guys together, insane! The pod on Andrews channel, big applause! Amazing work
This is a masterclass - both these guys strike me as slightly obsessed with their fields (which I suppose you have to be to get to their level). Interesting.
Masterclass on what subject?
@@ayo9057 love your name I have a friend with the same name. To answer you, a masterclass in a few things: 1) the conversational skill in terms of the clarity and conciseness of the explanations from Huberman, coupled with the curiosity and ease of understanding displayed by Attia.
2) In a more technical sense it was a masterclass on how more niche areas of the brain function with many interesting case studies to boot.
I'm scared they are engaging in some confirmation bias because their circle of podcasters is so obvious. It makes me somewhat cautious. I wish they would expand to other experts.
@@primrosed2338 like who? It may help to request specific people.
Wow!! Love his podcasts but this is very special. Appreciate his honesty
So amazingly intersting cuz' both of you cover a wide range of highly specific, deeply explained concepts in some of the most crucial aspect concerning our lives.
Thank you so much for all of your effort in the widespreading of this knowledge so valuable to understand ourself and this world.
Greetings from Italy
I enjoy listening to you both independently but really enjoyed and was inspired by Andrew story and how a growth mind set got him to where he is!
Thank you both Docs, for opening up and disclosing some H&P of your personal life!!! It's poignant, grounding, and inspirational! 👍
2:57:10 this pointing to the noun/verb digesting of information has been so true for me as a listener. Both of you translate the systems, the processes of things in a way where I see the movement of it. Thank you for your relationship ❤
You're amazing! I wish you all the best! I'm eager to share this with friends and family.
“We talked about 0 of these [topics]…” I love it! Such a great one! Thank you!
Love listening to Andrew!
“The habituations of the neurons”
😅😮
That’s just hilarious😂
Easter Sunday morning and this popped up on my feed. This will be my treat for the day😊
I sure enjoyed this interview. Thank you, both.
02:59:56 - 03:02:00
*Why you should watch Andrew Huberman*
_Andrew explains why and how he teaches biology on TH-cam. Why and how it's beneficial to people and that technical fields should be talked about to the public more in that way."_
Excellent podcast. Hubes is a legend. Great questions and listening Peter!
At the 1 hour 3 minute mark Peter asks a really good question about the possibility of harnessing the power of dreams. I especially found it fascinating how hubermans thoughts on the altered time perception during dreams could be applied in that regard. Say for example you could have a dreamlike experience which had the perceptive feel of lasting 24 hours, but in reality only lasted 10 minutes, then if you could utilize knowledge gathered during that dream state you could effectively be learning at a much higher rate and outperform regular learning, if course of you could retain the knowledge gained during the dream state.
Another wonderfully presented episode by both. Fascinating, informative and always worth listening to.
This was a lot of emotional content, and it really means a lot to hear. I suspect there are far more people in and out of science who have dealt with very bumpy emotional and career roads. I can’t understate the importance of these stories.
Wow. This one is special. Really personal and brave. Thank you.
So deep, amazing, refreshing. Tnx for doing this, I learn from you both, and hope to do so for years to come...
wonderful conversation
2:33:47 - WOW. This is so obvious once you hear it but so *powerful* !
Very honest dr. Andrew, thanks for sharing.
Love Huberman so much!
One of the best conversations on the internet!!
love it! so illuminating to understand Andrew's path. great interview!
Where can I find more info about Dr. Attia’s practice? I am a 5k runner and looking for more of a holistic longevity provider
Good review
Thanks for exploring, expanding and stretching the limits.
Thank you for telling the story of your youth.
Very heartwarming and inspiring - truth rocks!
This is fantastic. Thanks for the upload and great question. Are you having a great day?
My favorite young men! ❤️ Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and your stories!!! Every time i listen to your podcast I learn so much from both of you! Keep up the great work, and most of all please keep sharing your knowledge with the world!!! Side bar. Peter I was thinking maybe why more men come down with Parkinson's disease And Louie body syndrome. then women, has to do with Iron! Men tend to have more iron than women and maybe the AlphaI synuclei proteins feed off the thick iron serum! Just a thought! 🤔
