Welcome to the official Huberman Lab YouTube channel. The Huberman Lab podcast is hosted by Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. The podcast discusses neuroscience and science-based tools, including how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health, as well as existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works. The podcast is frequently ranked in the top 10 of all podcasts globally and is often ranked #1 in the categories of Science, Education, and Health & Fitness.
Ultradian rhythms consist of 90-minute cycles that govern human alertness and neuroplasticity throughout the day. To maximize cognitive performance, align deep work blocks with these natural peaks in the glucocorticoid system, which typically occur in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon. While these cycles last 90 minute...
In this episode of the Huberman Lab Podcast, Andrew Huberman discusses the science of meditation, exploring its effects on the brain and body, and how it can be used to improve sleep, mood, and focus. He explains the underlying biology, including key brain areas activated and deactivated during meditation, and emphasiz...
In this episode of the Huberman Lab podcast, Andrew Huberman discusses a science-based foundational fitness protocol designed to maximize all aspects of fitness, including endurance, strength, flexibility, and hypertrophy. He outlines a weekly schedule incorporating long endurance workouts, leg and torso resistance tra...
This Huberman Lab podcast episode focuses on nicotine's effects on the brain and body, distinguishing nicotine itself from its various delivery methods (smoking, vaping, etc.). The episode details nicotine's impact on dopamine, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine, explaining its effects on mood, focus, and metabolism. ...
This Huberman Lab podcast episode features an interview with Dr. Peter Attia, focusing on optimizing healthspan and lifespan. The discussion covers assessing health through blood work (frequency, markers, and interpretation), the importance of strength training for bone health, and the concept of "backcasting" to defi...
Sleep optimization relies on leveraging specific biological levers—light, temperature, food, exercise, caffeine, and supplements—to regulate the circadian clock and enhance restorative rest. Viewing bright sunlight within 30 to 60 minutes of waking triggers a necessary cortisol spike, while delaying caffeine intake for...
In this episode of the Huberman Lab podcast, Andrew Huberman discusses bipolar disorder, including its biology, treatments, and neural circuit basis. He distinguishes between Bipolar I and Bipolar II, highlighting the symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and the challenges in diagnosing the condition. Huberman explores the h...
Brain chemistry optimization relies on managing four primary neuromodulators—dopamine, epinephrine, serotonin, and acetylcholine—which dictate mental and physical states. These chemicals operate on both fast-acting and baseline timescales, significantly influenced by circadian rhythms and daily habits. Dopamine, the mo...
