Sir can i use information from your videos to teach them to others. I mean i will take this information. Create my own script on basis of this knowledge and create short videos. I won't be reuploading your video clips. Please answer!
@hubermanlab please keep this great work going :) I have 2 suggestions to look into : Vini Yoga ( in Cali you can look up Yoga Well institute ,Chase Bossart ) it is a type of practice that addresses a Lot of the things you have mentioned and Pilates ( which you probably heard of) by a very good practitioner which also has a huge “ posture / body awareness/ healing “ component worth exploring. If you were in Florida I would gladly offer a small window into those worlds. Highly recommend 👌🏽. I have listened to a vast majority of your podcasts and these would be a good compliment.

Facts. Even for young kids we always seem to mess up our spines from improper form when doing weighted squats My question is: what degree offset of scoliosis would elicit concern?
Standing mediation is a great call. Various cultures, spiritual cultivations, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, martial arts all have their own standing meditation. Zhuang zhang is what it’s called in Chinese. Beautiful, has mental, physical benefits, and acts as a therapy that dissolves physical stress in the body
I've been challenged by a chronic disease for around 7 years now. I'm 20, since the beginning of 2023 me and my family have been searching with no luck yet, as my symptoms worsen by the day. Your content is one that helps me a lot, and I would love a podcast episode on chronic fatigue or dealing with unknown/persistent diseases. Thank you so much to the whole team!
As a sufferer of cfs I find his podcasts amazing for energy management!! @hubermanlab bless us with a cfs pod Hope you are energised and strong my friend ❤
It would be immensely helpful if you made a podcast covering seasonal depression and what one can do about it. I have been struggling with seasonal depression every winter for the past 7-9 years. It would be so amazing to learn a in depth guide for what i can do to combat seasonal depression. Thank you!
@@emmabby22 Thank you Emma! I wish the same for you. I’m hoping to learn a few things, what things did you do that helped you? For me it was extra human interactions, proper meals, and multivitamins.
I work at a day care and all my babies along with myself were constantly sick! Despite how much I cleaned we just couldn’t get better! I started pulling my blinds all the way up and opening my windows! Along with cleaning with vinegar and essential oils and washing their little hands with Castile soap before lunch and snack and oh my goodness! You wouldn’t believe the difference it makes! My class and I are healthy ❤ what’s really wild is that on Monday they are congested and runny noses but Tuesday they are totally fine! One day of sunshine and fresh air in the class has them back to normal after a weekend inside at home!
Thanks for the shoutout. Me living in Tromsø, Norway and listening to this I can confirm that its dark most of the day during the winter we only have a few hours of daylight. Causing alot of people developing something we call winter depression. The northern light makes up for it though

¡Hola Profe!You are a treasure of knowledge for all of us.Looking forward for Your episode on cold and flu.Tourists bring us "everything and the kitchen sink".Thank You for caring for all of us.
I live near Himalayan mountains. I see sunrise and sort of sungazing while it's rising to boost the serotonin. Love it when the Sunrays falls on peak of mountain as sun rises. But now winters and gloomy days are here. Love from Nepal. Love your contribution . Thank you
Uff, hearing the first question I thought:'cool, two minutes answer and then on to the next'. Instead, I learned more about the background and factors as during the last decades. Thanks! And also for your clear pronounciation, this makes it easier for non-native listeners.
I've been attempting small sessions of Wim Hof breathing in the early morning when I first wake up. I've got a lot to learn about this method but I'm trying to stay persistent as I grow with it. This week has manifested the first signs of sickness in our 5 person household. Wish me luck that I will dodge this round with Wim Hof breathing! I should also say that I have also come to the conclusion that sugar aids in proliferating viruses (in my body at least) so in addition to Wim Hof breathing I'm avoiding sugar while occasionally supplementing my drinks with Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE possesses antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties). Note - I do not take medications of any kind so I do not need to be concerned about adding and removing items from my diet as some people may have to therefore be mindful of GSE if you take medications.
So useful! I work in a school so I tend to pick up many colds and illnesses from the children. Having suffered a bad bout of the flu recently, I am super excited for the cold and flu episode!
Andrew hubermen with wim hof as guest would be a great discussion on topics like whm breathing tool or tummo breathing, cold exposure, immunity, sickness, how alkaline environment kills flu, virus, cancer etc. human potential, mental n physical health. It would be delight to see them together on podcast
Hi Huberman, i would like to make a subject suggestion, that would be pheromones, and how they act with humans relationship as well as habits and nutrition for healthy balance.
Most of what you mention here, our Mexican grandmothers taught us somehow. Thank you Dr. Hubberman for all the valuable information you share with us! Greetings from central México. 😉
Super random but I just happened to see your comment here. Netflix just released a really great documentary called "You are what you eat", that goes over a cool study they conducted about this exact topic! Thought you might be interested!
Ahh... I was thinking AMA was from Ayurveda: toxins in the body ☺️. I got so touched by hearing about the support in research on mental health that I teared up😢❤. I was also reminded that I hadn't given feedback yet when you encouraged the viewers to help out with improving this channel. Which I'd love to, when I can use a computer instead of my phone. So if there will be another chance, I'm up for it😊. You have a great voice as well as your open & curious. You have this great balance of confidence with that & it doesn't go to your head which makes it a joy to watch you 😊. I lived north og Tromsø, out in the Island Andenes, for a while. Back then I ate much more dairy & I got sick a few times during the year. Now that I cut back a lot & stress a lot less I don't get sick, at least not so far this year. When I do, I keep to myself indoors. I breath through my nose as long as I can & if someone sneezes, I push the air infront of me by using my mouth to breath out. I always have an oil blend with essential oils to keep myself clean from bacteria and some of them even kill viruses. I think last time I was sick was spring last year.
I would really appreciate an episode dedicated to BREAKING the habit of DAILY cannabis use. I wanted your previous episode on the subject, but would LOVE an episode with actionable steps we can all follow
I can only tell you what worked for me, as someone who used cannabis off and on for over 22 years (quit for various periods of time, like during pregnancies). Went cold turkey, used catnip tea for help with sleep & digestion. Made sure to eat at regular times each day, even when I didn't necessarily want to, to help re-establish my hunger cues. Went to bed before 10:30 every night and got up with the sun. Avoided other addicting things like ultra processed foods and very sweet sugary foods/drinks. Best of luck to you! ❤ Tom Bilyeu has a recent podcast episode with Gary Brecka that you might get some good information from.
As a recovering addict I can say those are great suggestions. Another thing to to consider is replacing times when wanting to ingest cannabis. Find something to do. An important part of stopping something like that is implementing a good self care routine. Also don’t be afraid to seek some support. Having connection with people is very important.
So simple way to lube the sinuse is dairy meaning yogurt, cheese, milk products. Just as a preventative measure Or just wonder what to do when you have no mucus. Like Dr H said... cold air, dry air, zero mucous and stuck in an elevator or crowded area, you need humidity, nose hairs and be a nose breather. I couldn't agree more!! Gold star for this one.. Priceless!!
I’ve lived in upstate New York growing up and my gosh. The winter months here - jeez. Always loved taking walks in the morning to get as much sunlight as possible. Wasn’t as affected by seasonal depression. The worse part of these months though is when my college puts on the heating and dorms dry out SOOOO bad. Destroys the nose. Thanks for this episode! Lots of great tools here as we enter the colder months. Happy Holidays Dr. Huberman!
Will you ever make a video on allergies? My girlfriend suffers a lot, specially in this time of the year. Thank you for spreading such great content for free.
My friend and colleague Dr. Joe Dispenza would be a great guest on your podcast. He recently published on how meditation affects immune function and is about to publish several more papers. Happy to share his contact directly with someone on your team 💚
I have to tell you. I proclaimed my last wish was to have a steak dinner with you and Lex.. Whim Hoff liked that post. Would love a retreat with him. Not sure I would survive but something I dream of. NOW I'll watch this PC. Always exited. And thank you for your interest in sharing science! 😊❤
I tried the Wim Hof breathing technique once. Unfortunately, I have an eardrum that was punctured and sometimes I deal with chronic dizziness. The Wim Hof technique left me on the floor with horrible dizziness for nearly a week. This may have actually saved my life because I was going to go to my brothers house for Christmas and was not going to let the blizzard stop me but the combination of blizzard plus the inability to walk upright or keep the world from spinning meant driving 60 miles was a very bad idea
BTW, the best steak in the world is in BA Argentina. Don't die before doing that alone. You'll have the "ah-ha" moment and realize I'm not exaggerating at all. Oh, side note, if you ever do go down make sure you're with fluent Spanish speakers. Don't let them know you English speakers or now, even American. Lovely people but the opportunists will definitely take advantage. Just like anywhere but that was my take away. Let your Spanish speakers take control. It's really a magical place. Steak in Buenos Aries. Gotta dance too!!!❤❤❤
winter time, everybody is indoors at bars, malls, etc = a cesspool for respiratory viruses. washing hands several times a day helps reduce the risk. great video. thanks for sharing.
Hi! Apologies if this was already addressed somewhere, but two additional points of curiosity related to the topic of winter months are: netipots- good/ bad, any research there? And often in the winter when doing physical activity outside and trying to nasal breathe, it results in runny nose. Is there anyway to reduce this? Thank you and the team for all your efforts!!
Sounds good, feels bad.... "to bring zero cost...." So much subs everywhere. Its sad this podcast is also making Premium content which will never be released...
Hi team, I wondered if there is any evidence about listening to music/podcasts while sleeping? Will I get a "lower quality sleep" or end up super bright LOL? I searched your website but nothing comes up? Love your work ❤
A question for Prof. Huberman. How do you get knowledge about flu, colds and ways to combat them? Do you read scientific literature, textbooks or other resources? How can a layman be able to improve his knowledge about these common diseases and how to strengthen immunity?
Can you please do an episode on creating/discovering a healthy obsession? 'Obsession' being the operative word. Obsession for defining, discovering, and going after goals.
Dr. Huberman, I know unpaid AMAs are like teasers, but this one created more questions than answers for me. The comment, if you’re coughing, you’re contagious, needs more context. It is not uncommon to cough for weeks after a sickness. Society today says stay home if you’re sick, so if a cough is contagious, then a cough is sickness. Does that mean stay home for a month? Also, the quick mention of Wim Hof breathing could make things worse depending on X is kind of a big deal since about a million people started Wim Hof based on your podcasts. Now I have to stop Wim Hof until you drop the full episode on cold and flu so I can find out if Wim Hof during a cold or flu is bad. Patiently waiting…
Yeah, I always lived in flats with cast iron radiators and as far as I can remember, we put either wet towels on them or pour water to a clay pot next to them and let the water evaporate.. Good stuff!
Ok, so it's the middle of the night, I can't sleep, and I'm scrolling through Instagram and see a video of a young boy whose been given the gift of colorblind glasses. He puts them on, looks around at colors for the first time in his life, and gets very emotional. It is a beautiful tender thing. You sometimes see the same reaction with a person getting hearing aids for the first time. I thought immediately of you and searched for your AMA. I haven't watched this video yet, but I plan to. My question is, Andrew, what is going on in the brain and body to elicit such a deep response?
Great Podcast once again Andrew. I would love to know, is there any research on cold adaptation for cold air. I live in northern Finland and have noticed that one gets acclimated for cold air only in cold air. Duh. What I mean is, when in winter there is approximately one week period of -30C to -40C and you spend time outside every day for an hour total. After that period -15C temperature feels really warm, like you could wear an T-shirt outside and its okay. No wind here in these temps. When you have the extremely cold period, you are fully and warmly clothed and only one's face is not covered. All my friends and relatives have noticed this. Also I myself do Ice swimming daily 2-5min at a time through out the winter. Allways end with the cold. This does not help with the feeling of cold air at all, unless the air temperature drops down to -30- -40C range. Also this cold air does not make the ice swimming any easier. Only concistent ice swimming acclimates you for it. Can you or someone give me an scientific explanation? Or is this just adaptation to cold? But on what is it based on? Ps. Regarding your previous pod on ice swimming and Sauna. In Finland the recommendation for babies to sleep outside in a trolley starts at 3 months old and -20C is coldest temp recommended. Sauna is recommended from 1 year on, short periods at a time... Sorry for the long comment. Hope to get some clarity for my subject though.
It’s hard to keep up with all the valuable content you produce so consistently! I tell so many people about your helpful content all the time! Please never stop!!
The temperature thing could be explained a bit more. The "lower body temperature" if severe and usually with a very chilled nose is directly impairing immune cells function. In short; don't do extreme Wim Hoffing before you go to crowded places. Whatever "flies" there, will "stick more".
Hola Doctor, Silly questions: I have a silly question: Is it possible to lower the eye pressure and minimize glaucoma by exposing oneself to the steam room? I ask because glaucoma is a threat to me. I love steam rooms in a healthy manner. But, I thought ? : the steam lowers my blood pressure; so; can the steam lower the pressure on my eye? If yes, how often? You and your team are a beautiful blessing. Your are one and only one of you. God bless you

Can you do a episode on all the benefits of olive oil for health, fitness, effects on mitochondria, etc..
In my prayers I thank God for Andrew Huberman :)
Close proximity. I've been saying this all along. Here in Tokyo our #1 flu risk is our rush our crowded trains. I'm sure you've seen pics/vids.
On the topic of breathing, would love to see a conversation with Patrick McKeown!!

Can't express how grateful I am that i found this lab. This year I was in 3% of top fans in Spotify :) yay felt great :)
I'd like to hear your thoughts and research reviews of neti pot nasal irrigating as a means to remove pathogens and rehydrating the nasal passage.
Gratitude 🤲 Your Way.
Wont bacteria and fungus grow in nice warm conducive environment with moisture. !!
This is winter and I've been sick for a week. Then, I found this. Thanks.
Each and every time I see "AMA", I'm thinking "against medical advice" (I'm an MD) 😂

Love using them! I also oil my nose during the colder months. Both have been common practice in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. ❤
Hi team,
I wondered if there is any evidence about listening to music/podcasts while sleeping? Will I get a "lower quality sleep" or end up super bright LOL? I searched your website but nothing comes up?
Love your work ❤
GREAT when a Professor of Neuroscience explains to folks, what they NEED in their terms of _standing! ❤🎉😅
Cabin Fever. Deadly.
A question for Prof. Huberman. How do you get knowledge about flu, colds and ways to combat them? Do you read scientific literature, textbooks or other resources? How can a layman be able to improve his knowledge about these common diseases and how to strengthen immunity?
eagerly waiting for the next episode on cold and flu.
You can use plants in Order to Higher the Air humidity
Andrew can you Chat with Dr Stuart McGill on spine health
Light from lightbulbs and sunlight have different spectra .. crucially UVB
Staying out of sunlight away from cold makes us vulnerable
Thanks for your all the content you provide! Would love to hear about curing rosacea (or at least reducing it). Thanks for all you do!
Sir one episode on subliminals and science and treatment of anxiety Disorders
Troms representing! no sun for 2 months!
Can you please do an episode on creating/discovering a healthy obsession? 'Obsession' being the operative word. Obsession for defining, discovering, and going after goals.
Always the best information! Thank you so much 🙏🏻
How about a subject on Ozone Therapy
What would be an ideal humidity range for a home environment?
Dr. Huberman, I know unpaid AMAs are like teasers, but this one created more questions than answers for me. The comment, if you’re coughing, you’re contagious, needs more context. It is not uncommon to cough for weeks after a sickness. Society today says stay home if you’re sick, so if a cough is contagious, then a cough is sickness. Does that mean stay home for a month? Also, the quick mention of Wim Hof breathing could make things worse depending on X is kind of a big deal since about a million people started Wim Hof based on your podcasts. Now I have to stop Wim Hof until you drop the full episode on cold and flu so I can find out if Wim Hof during a cold or flu is bad. Patiently waiting…
Gotten three different colds in the last couple months. Don't usually get sick this many times during winter, and it's getting on my nerves.
Do you have a good humidifier recommendation?
Air Quality episode, please 😊👏 Quality, purifiers, humidifiers
an episode about remote working (staying at home withoout socializing and sitting all day) would be great. thanks
Yeah, I always lived in flats with cast iron radiators and as far as I can remember, we put either wet towels on them or pour water to a clay pot next to them and let the water evaporate.. Good stuff!
Ok, so it's the middle of the night, I can't sleep, and I'm scrolling through Instagram and see a video of a young boy whose been given the gift of colorblind glasses. He puts them on, looks around at colors for the first time in his life, and gets very emotional. It is a beautiful tender thing. You sometimes see the same reaction with a person getting hearing aids for the first time. I thought immediately of you and searched for your AMA. I haven't watched this video yet, but I plan to. My question is, Andrew, what is going on in the brain and body to elicit such a deep response?
Dr. Huberman, I like your watch. What is the brand and model?
Great Podcast once again Andrew.
I would love to know, is there any research on cold adaptation for cold air. I live in northern Finland and have noticed that one gets acclimated for cold air only in cold air. Duh. What I mean is, when in winter there is approximately one week period of -30C to -40C and you spend time outside every day for an hour total. After that period -15C temperature feels really warm, like you could wear an T-shirt outside and its okay. No wind here in these temps.
When you have the extremely cold period, you are fully and warmly clothed and only one's face is not covered. All my friends and relatives have noticed this. Also I myself do Ice swimming daily 2-5min at a time through out the winter. Allways end with the cold. This does not help with the feeling of cold air at all, unless the air temperature drops down to -30- -40C range.
Also this cold air does not make the ice swimming any easier. Only concistent ice swimming acclimates you for it.
Can you or someone give me an scientific explanation? Or is this just adaptation to cold? But on what is it based on?
Ps. Regarding your previous pod on ice swimming and Sauna. In Finland the recommendation for babies to sleep outside in a trolley starts at 3 months old and -20C is coldest temp recommended. Sauna is recommended from 1 year on, short periods at a time...
Sorry for the long comment. Hope to get some clarity for my subject though.
If we sign up, do we gain access to previous ask me anything episodes?
It’s hard to keep up with all the valuable content you produce so consistently! I tell so many people about your helpful content all the time! Please never stop!!
🤢🤮
2:03 I’m going with wetness… it’s like hot and cold exposure for cooties! Wet vs. dry.
Dr. Huberman, I think another guest series with Dr. Stuart McGill could break the internet. So many with poor core/lower back strength and issues!
how sure can we be that coughing and sneezing are contagious after a cold or flu? can you link the study or studies you refer to?
So much for scientific based health information for free. That’s fine. Those with money are the only ones that deserve to be healthy anyway
The temperature thing could be explained a bit more. The "lower body temperature" if severe and usually with a very chilled nose is directly impairing immune cells function. In short; don't do extreme Wim Hoffing before you go to crowded places. Whatever "flies" there, will "stick more".
Hola Doctor,
Silly questions: I have a silly question:
Is it possible to lower the eye pressure and minimize glaucoma by exposing oneself to the steam room?
I ask because glaucoma is a threat to me. I love steam rooms in a healthy manner. But, I thought ? : the steam lowers my blood pressure; so; can the steam lower the pressure on my eye? If yes, how often?
You and your team are a beautiful blessing. Your are one and only one of you. God bless you
