I was introduced to Dr. Huberman by the interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson and this was the next video. Dr. Huberman's presentation of practical ideas are easily implemented into our daily routine. He is very humble and is considerate to give credit for ideas and research of others. I can't believe I haven't heard of him before now.

[@chrisbarker7885]

This pod is packed with insights not covered in other podcasts on similar topics. The way you explain the science and how the body responds is very understandable.

[@SamanthaRaeAOK]

Andrew Huberman, The light reaches for you. Now reaching the end of this discussion, you are definitely on the right path to getting in tune with your spirituality. ^-^ keep at it.

[@ajitkumarrajeshwariprasad4648]

Clutter in mind disturbs sleep. It is important to discipline thought process and to learn the art of switching off thoughts. This way one can have sound sleep and remain energetic.

[@englishcakewalk8332]

Switching off thoughts.... easier said than done...

[@ladyjonjon]

Regarding the 'Cyclic Hyperventilation'. .. this, plus cold exposure, is exactly what Wim Hof has been talking about for years... very interesting to get this particular take on the data.

[@Learna_Hydralis]

Dr.Andrew actually contacted Wim & spent some time with him .. If you search the web you'll find a picture of the two together and I even saw Andrew on a doctumentary talking about Wim.

[@aklakahmed8637]

Wim hof turned it into a ritualistic bs.

This is the power of KZbin. If it wasn't for KZbin i wouldn't have gained this knowledge from Andrew. Shame it is not reaching the scale it deserve s. Thank you Shane for the knowledge project.

[@elizabethwilk9615]

Am extremely thankful for all your podcasts you are truly a blessing to those that can't afford therapy for anxiety. Most doctors who never discuss any of these breathing techniques, nutrition, exercise, light or supplements its really detrimental to those that are suffering from anxiety or depression

[@moniquemcdonogh698]

I am eternally grateful for this illuminating information. It is changing my life- thank you Dr. Huberman.

[@rebeccafurman1035]

I am not surprised to hear how the art of pranayama breathing can help induce a state of calm, coupled with benefit to the mind state during tense moments. Heightened sense of awareness and connection to breath helps us to stay grounded, or turn inward in a reassuring way, immediately de-stressing our CNS and taking control of our ANS. Love this work!

[@DavePawson]

Thanks. Science made clear.

[@alimfar6206]

I love Andrew and the fact he is passionate about spreading knowledge on becoming your BEST SELFFFFF. Thank you for this episode! Sending this to all my favorite people

Thank you Shane for this gem of a conversation. Andrew is the new Robert sapolsky, he just doesn’t know it yet. His lab is a potential paradigm shift in the way research meets regular daily life, bringing applicable beneficial methods to ones daily routine. Pls also bring in Karl Deisseroth and Iain McGilchrist

[@catherinerossba-fineartma-6619]

This was such an impactful interview with Dr. Huberman who is a truly gifted educator, an extremely compelling scientist, and a uniquely inspirational person who’s able to illuminate very complex and pertinent details in an exceptionally generous and authentic way. Thanks for having Dr. Hub as a guest! Also it is fun to have discovered your channel here on KZbin/podcast … 💪❤️👏

I’m going to save this . I have chronic insomnia and I do not nap during the day. I hardly get outside but lately I’ve been forcing myself to go to the pool. That’s just been two days though.

[@fionanicolson7642]

It really works but you have to be prepared to dim lights at night & go to bed earlier than usual . The evening preparation is really important too.

[@susanls2909]

I’m saving it too! A little late to this party, still want to share I struggled at first to go to bed earlier. I finally had to put my foot down and just do it- about two years ago. It has been so much better for me. Huge difference. My takeaway from this interview is how to separate from Melatonin supplemental. I lean on it quite a bit. I already ordered the selfie ring light. So ready for the next step of setting my natural melatonin levels. Gotta listen to this about 3 more times. Hope it’s been wonderful for you these last 10 months :)

[@jane77722]

This is so helpful. I appreciate the thoroughness and detail in Huberman's answers. Love the fields of biology, the study of mind-body connection and our ability to grow and improve/overcome. It's great that he is looking at the spiritual aspect of his life because I believe that is real, too! Life is indeed a progression. Always new truths to learn! Personally, I think God is the Creator and science is the study of how God's incredible creation works.

[@ernienieves3229]

This was a great one so I subscribed…. Thank you!!!

[@saraha5622]

This is great, although I assume you don’t have any children to disrupt this well-planned civilised sleep-wake routine?

[@danielatomanovic2084]

absolutely right way to eat. in the evenings we eat carbs to fill glycogen reserves, which takes about 6-8 hours, so in the morning your activity empties those reserves by lunch time, than you have fat and protein and you pass to ketons as a source of enery.

[@Flutterbyby]

Wow Andrew’s enthusiasm about the topics he’s speaking on is infectious. I hope to find that joy in my field of work too. Think all I need is quality sleep for consistent period of time to restore of energy. My #1 priority as of now is to fall asleep a few hours before midnight as been sleeping after midnight for too many years (deliberate delay on my part)

[@zbigniewbrzezinski8869]

I wonder why Dr. Huberman could not have this conversation in a better space in terms of lighting! I had eye fatigue after a couple of minutes!

[@OJA-jf7bp]

before anyone totally writes off magnesium due to the potential stomach issues, I'd like to share that I did as well however after about a week I was totally back to a regular routine where I wasnt affected negatively. Sunlight, Magnesium, L theanine, cbd, avoiding over eating at night and controversially gaba are my magic bullet.

[@shoechick1]

when mentioning overhead light. Do fluorescent lights count or are these considered not good?

[@gcullerton3303]

yea collective regression indeed. is difficult to remain a shade above mediocracy o

[@Starskye7897]

I thought he has previously said to get morning light within an hour of waking?

Another good one Shane. Andrew like he said kinda meanders at times but a lot of what he said was valuable. Thanks and you did a great job letting him go lol

This is one of the most interesting and engaging episodes so far, thanks for the great work! One quick question, havent been able to find the name of the meditation app Andrew mentioned. Can you pls help? Thanks again!

[@tkppodcast]

Thanks! It’s called Reveri

[@tashlentine]

I'm reading Matthew Walkers book at the moment and find it interesting that they seem to have (maybe I interpreted it incorrectly) polar opposite views on the circadian rhythm being light dependent. Walker cites a study where 2 guys studying circadian rhythms lived in mammoth cave for a month in complete darkness and their bodies still maintained a sleep/wake cycle and another guy from the 1800s who found that a mimosa kept in a lightproof container also maintained a sleep/wake cycle with opening and closing its leaves which suggests we have these cycles regardless of light conditions

There is definitely not enough people subscribed to this channel. Something that may surprise the general public is proper diet and sleep education is a critical part of truck driver training.

[@uelude]

Love this guy, but some confused statements re: correlation is not causation. Late shifted cortisol may well be a hallmark of depression but contrary to what's implied here that doesn't mean there's a causal link or that changing cortisol peak changes depression. It's perfectly reasonable for causality to be in the other direction in severely depressed patients due to many factors. Nevertheless intentional circadian entrainment is of course likely to be beneficial if required. But we should be wise with our language and curtail habits of backing up ideas with correlations as if to imply a causal relationship where there is either no causal relationship or causality is in the other direction. Turning an oven on may heat a potato but that doesn't mean we can use the relationship to back up theories that eating hot potatos will turn your oven on etc because "hot potatos are a hallmark of switched on ovens"

[@druze1972]

The ancient Indian practice of Yoga Nidra gets culturally appropriated as NSDR!

[@tzc9309]

Ok very interesting point at around 1:17:00 about delayed gratification, and how many adults have bad delayed gratification. Obviously things such as tiredness, stress whatever else would all have an impact on such things. But from a psychological perspective, the fact so much is "do not do this, do not do that" etc within the education system and generally many forms of early parenting rather than, "go and do this, go and enjoy that". Do you think this has an effect on delayed gratification/impulse control from a psychological perspective, as generally adults have a freedom of choice which they did not have as kids in many scenarios, so being impulsive may derive from an expression of freedom which they lacked in childhood due to many rules/regulations of "do not do this" etc. Like a hardwired rebellious attitude in a sense due to the way we raise people and the current education system? Would be a really interesting topic to cover in depth I think!

If we don't look directly at sun, just wondering how light will go through retina. Also, do we keep our eyes open for the light to reach our neurons?

"Cyclic hyperventilation"? You mean, "smoking"?! hehehe

[@jennanelson5453]

I'm curious...I find I only sleep well when I'm really warm. Infact, the more I sweat, the better sleep I get ! Now, I attribute this to detoxifying, but would you say I should try and not overheat myself or if its working for me, it's probably good ?

[@playpianotoday6223]

I’m the same - Once I am nice and warm I get sleepy very easily.

[@Flutterbyby]

Me too! I can’t sleep if Unless I’m warm!

[@judithrandall7262]

Andrew, I love your talks on the brain and nervous system. M interests vary, But I do limited amounts of research on alternative health care practice as Im very disappointed in the type of care provided by medically trained doctors and clinics covered by Medicare. Im not terribly overweight, but I do have nerve damage I feel tingling occasionally hands and feet due to type two diabetes. What recommendations have you researched to regress or reverse the degenerative processes of too much insulin besides a low carb diet?

[@thesophiagibson]

I have been using Berberine as recommended by Andrew on his own podcast. Look into it

[@JB-bc9nm]

Wim Hoff is in the house! That breathing technique got me to swim in cold water. Thank you.

[@jousiff91]

Help!!?. He talked about yoganidra and how its helpful even if he didn't got enough sleep. Where i can find it? Is it a KZbin video i can watch it and do yoganidra?

[@Choukr11]

Yes, look up yoganidra or nsdr huberman and u'll find it.
