Thank you so much for this conversation with Martha Beck! I usually don't listen to/view your podcast when I'm low on energy, because I really want to get all the info, but today I did. I listened to all of it in one go and while listening and now I feel energized and at peace. I've listened to so many hours of your content and interviews, but this conversation was really special. I feel strangely touched by it (goosebumps!) , which is not normal for my science oriented mind. Thank you both for being so open and vulnerable. I hope you both live long and prosper in all of your endeavors

Andrew, if you're seeing this, I want to thank you for this particular episode. I've been a regular consumer of your podcast for long and when that ugliness online happened I was outraged and quite disgusted at how people were treating you. The fact that you continue to bring yourself with equal or more love, MORE vulnerability, MORE Openness and display an entirely unconditional dedication to no-cost education for people like me...... this makes you one of my personal heroes. I've always marveled at your knowledge and your teaching method and to learn that you're a top person too just makes it all so much more meaningful for me. Big thanks always. Taking notes always.

Keep doing what you're doing. It is incredibly beneficial.

So refreshing to hear this conversation on Huberman Lab Podcast with Dr. Martha Beck. The idea of listening to and trusting one’s body, embracing suffering, and aligning with personal truth through feeling-rather than external expectations-has always resonated deeply with me. Yet, when I’ve shared the importance of these values, they’ve often been challenged, leaving me questioning, even resisting, and at times feeling wrong for choosing this path. Each time I ignored my own inner guidance, the consequence was profound: pain that manifested physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Despite seeking help, no doctor or therapist could pinpoint a solution beyond identifying my nervous system as stuck in freeze. But through presence, self-compassion, and the courage to trust myself, I’m finally beginning to orient and heal. Along the way, I’ve noticed friends and others feel encouraged to explore these values themselves. It’s been beautiful to witness this shift-to see how, when we live in alignment with our own truth, it can create a ripple effect that gently inspires others. May this be a reminder that you are your own most powerful guide, and that true healing often begins with honoring the wisdom within.

[@icedawggg]

Exactly! Your truth is the truth. Your mental reality needs to not be shiftable by physical reality. People love to do that, let the world around them change them. In reality you should let the world inside you change the world outside. Made me realize you can’t live in your desired reality externally until you live it internally.

[@andreathorstensen]

Hi Dr Hubermsn ! I had the same experience with my dog ! It is a profound experience and I hold it dear to my heart. I am tearing for you and totally understand. I can cry at any time if I let myself feel how much I miss my dog. He opened my senses into a higher vibration , gave me his last heart beat in the palm of my hand ( which after a year I can still feel it’s essence ), his divine spirit and nature is always close. I am happy that you experienced something the same in this nature. Im excited to know someone else has experienced this because it’s hard to explain . Heartfelt and deepening within ; energy never dies and the love of your dog will always be felt . Best Wishes to you! I love your podcasts

[@davidortize]

I was particularly touched by how Dr. Huberman is able to embrace his vulnerability and talk openly-though without unnecessary scandal-about his own journeys and the things he wants to improve in his life. It’s an excellent example for us all: you can be intelligent, brilliant, and successful, yet still be humble and openly acknowledge that you haven’t mastered all aspects of your life. His approach to continuously pursuing personal growth is truly inspiring. Regarding topics I’d like Dr. Huberman to cover in his podcast, I would love to see an episode (or even a series of episodes) related to pets, especially dogs. Why do we love them so much? What happens in our brains when we see or think about our dogs? What were the co-evolutionary mechanisms that produced this special relationship between dogs and humans? What are the scientifically proven benefits of owning dogs? Are there any drawbacks?

[@MTB603]

One of the most important lessons I've learned in my life, and what Martha reinforces in this podcast, is that we have zero control over someone else's emotions or emotional reactions. As I have slowly let myself open up and express my own needs I find that those around me might be disappointed or upset, but if real love is there they will eventually come to terms with their own feelings and see me in a new light. It does change the relationship, but in my experience it's for the better. Thank you for this episode!

[@sarahkarni8681]

Dr. Huberman, at risk of coming off like a fan-girl (woman, actually) I want to tell you how much I appreciate you. I just got back from my morning walk during which I finished listening to this episode with Martha Beck, whom I also follow and deeply appreciate. I first heard you when my oldest friend ("since we were born!" we say) recommended your podcast to me a couple of years ago. The first episode I heard was the one on nicotine and since then I have been hooked . On nicotine. (Kidding.) I texted my since-born friend telling her that I thought I was in love. The brains get me. I am wildly impressed by your rigor, commitment, enthusiasm, and curiosity. What inspired me to "leave a comment" (and I don't recall doing this before, in any case) was the additional humanity and vulnerability you showed on this one. And I could relate to a lot of what you said about relationships - and a few other things, too. I started to feel a pull toward reaching out to say something, but you clinched it with the pigeons. I love them too, and most people find this quirky (But I don't care!)! I lived in NYC for a while, and spent a lot of time observing them (and writing haiku about them, as it were.) Keep doing what you're doing, and whomever you end up finding, breathing softly next to you in your future mountain home (even if it's just another bulldog) will be a lucky lady (or dog), no doubt. With gratitude, Sarah

After watching hundreds of hours of you talk over the last few years and garnering immeasurable value this episode in particular I’m beyond grateful for. It’s so refreshing and inspiring to see this type of discussion here. Both of you so staunch in your efforts to be true to your experience and reconcile science and our cultural attitudes with the more spiritual and mysterious aspects of existence. It’s reassuring for those of us who have in our lives few or none who are willing to open their heart and mind to experience the world in this way. Thank you also Andrew for being so honest and vulnerable. Sharing parts of yourself with the world so openly takes courage and it empowers others especially men to see how these traits are not opposed to masculinity. I also hope you know your idiosyncrasies are very endearing. Though I don’t really know you, it always brings me joy learning about you as person while you teach. From the bottom of my heart thank you to you and your whole team for what you do ♡

Andrew, this, hands down, has been the most beautiful and transformational podcast I have watched/listned to ever. And I consume probably 4 a week, every week, for at least 10 years. I will admit that I had some recoil to a handful of things that Martha said and yet her explanation of the compassionate witness and having and attuning to integrity in the body, I was able to uncover deep information about my values and beliefs and now have a stepping stone to learning more about myself. Your candid honesty, her authenticity, and your palpable connection with each other were, by themselves, informative and healing. I am quite fond of her and will look much deeper into her work. Might I suggest looking into Dr. Joe Dispenza's and collegues research on the magnetic and electrical nature of heart-brain coherence. His work talks a TON about the light, the "home" and the integrity that Martha speaks about. He also teaches breathing techniques, whicb obviously you know a TON about. Bless you Andrew. Truly, you are a lighthouse for many people.

I agree with her, that we truly don’t know what the afterlife will be. No religion can answer that and that is okay to admit. This conversation really shed light on our purpose on the planet in so many ways and how to know you are on the right path. The idea of meeting feelings of suffering with self compassion that will allow you to show love and compassion for others is something I will work towards and this conversation gave me the blueprint.

They all are, apparently.

@@Kamokoids143 Good luck to your husband.

[@Kamokoids143]

@@MarionMM Thanks for your kindness!! 💙💙💙 Have the day and the life you deserve! I can only imagine how spectacular it must be, based on our brief interaction here🤣😘

[@MarionMM]

@@Kamokoids143 Yeah, you start with making fun of other peoples wedding vows. Weirdo.

[@DanDowell]

As a polyamorous person, I greatly appreciate the honesty, acceptance, and, frankly, the logic demonstrated in this episode.

[@filmstheweather]

I shed several tears during this episode - thanks to both you and Dr. Beck for leading this discussion with such open hearts. You made me think of my bully who passed on in 2020. I loved him so much and love any opportunity to remember him. There are so many other things I can comment about this but I will say this: what a wonderful episode and I'll be looking into Dr. Beck!! Thank you!

[@MileSnowflake]

It took me a week to get through this podcast - I kept on rewatching certain parts several times to really absorb them. And I never wanted the podcast to end. What a treat, what a blessing to be living in the same time with such bright and generous people. Like Martha has said, a lot of us are on the same mission and that gives tremendous hope. I will certainly do my best to align with mine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@mspckls1057]

I'm in tears. I watch so much Huberman Podcast & I loved this energy; this honest, fun, delightful conversation. Thank you for opening the door to a world where its not "evil" (as my catholic upbringing has made me believe) to live in my integrity. I found Dr. Martha Beck incredibly fascinating, I don't know that I would have heard as much as I have or rather, taken in as much if it wasn't for Andrew Huberman being such the perfect interviewer for her. The energy is palpable, felt so clearly and I'm basking in it. Thank you both, you've shifted something in me this morning, I am very grateful, if you happen to read this wish you both the absolute best forever more.

[@ABC-yt1nq]

What a stupendous meaningful conversation between two beautiful souls! And wow! First time I've heard of Dr. Beck and after listening to that I'm smitten! Brilliant, funny, silly, kind, compassionate - she glows with a very discernible energy that draws one in like a moth to a flame.

[@ShirleyMcalpine]

Dr Andrew, I remember Costello I miss him too. You become my best friend, during my healing journey. Thank you!

[@wille.beamin8008]

Thanks for talking about Costello. It helps with my loss of my bully mix (bully, golden, mastiff), Penny. ❤

[@jalepage]

What an enjoyable podcast! I feel like I know Dr. Huberman just a little bit more and Dr. Beck's energy is contagious❤

[@hlghlg33]

I can see I am not the only one that found this particular episode very special. It is very refreshing when people show their vulnerability and realness the way you and Dr. Martha Beck did in this episode. Beautiful. Thank You for all that you do, it’s very much appreciated 🙏

[@lukelife5066]

Thank you Andrew and Martha! I resonate with this conversation immensely. I experienced a TBI with 6 skull fractures and 2 brain bleeds from an assault last summer, where I saw the light mentioned. I was unconscious for 3 days. During that time I visited a realm my soul knew but I did not, where I met God Osiris who offered me an invaluable necklace I did not take. Since then I have experienced heightened intuition, immense gratitude mindset shift, and can see energies, and more. I have gotten to meet several of my spiritual guides and seen them as blue silhouettes. The change in me has caused my marriage to fall apart, and that’s okay. New beginnings! I also resonate with the “feels like a game and this is just my avatar” I feel it daily now. When Martha said “you are here to find your team and tell them they are here as healers” my whole body got goosebumps, and felt as if someone placed a hand on my left cheek at the moment she said that. I am on your team!

[@lukelife5066]

The best way to describe my mind since my injury is like my higher self is guiding me, and sending me downloads from the universe that light the path I now walk upon. A few months ago I was “told” I am an energy healer meant to heal others and teach them how to do the same for themselves and others. This conversation only amplified that message. Thank you both so much! I am grateful!

[@RYDERBEN]

This is one of my favorite episodes of this podcast EVER. To be honest I didn't know who Martha Beck was! I'm so glad to know her thanks to you Andrew!

[@mamto890]

Andrew, what a once in lifetime podcast! The connection and beyond the words understanding between the two of you are so beautiful! Thank you for showing your vulnerability for other men to see it's ok to do it. And your analysis of punk rock and its inclusiveness is spot on! I love it too❤ I'll never look at you the same way again as, I believe , I've seen the most authentic version of you. 🙌

[@AshleyRaeFD]

Please Please Please bring on Antonia Dodge. After listening to Dr.Beck, Antonia Dodge would complement her discussions so much. Antonia Dodge is a true master in systems thinking and has many great insights on persona, ego, and Self. Antonia Dodge is a brilliant master of her craft and I believe this is an area many of the listeners could derive great benefits from. Please bring Antonia Dodge to the show!

[@katiegrist714]

I enjoy all the Huberman episodes I listen to but this episode is on a whole other level. I got so much out of it, I’ve listened to it twice this week! Thank you for introducing me to the amazing Dr Martha Beck, I’m instantly a fan. I’ve been working with a coach recently and am on that hard path of acknowledging patterns in my relationships and coming back to my true self, and hearing this was so perfectly timed. I am the fly!! It makes so much sense about how I feel so restricted in relationships, it’s because I give myself away. Such a lightbulb moment for me and it’s given me more breadcrumbs to follow to support me in coming back to my essential self. Thank you for being so open, and I loved the moments of laughter ❤

[@gornash1234]

This was without a once of doubt, the best podcast or even the video that ive seen online that most resonated with me.... beyond recognition. SInce the "Mind blowing and Does not compute moment" ... i knew i was in for something beautiful. I have ADHD and feeling emotions on people and energy is something that ive been blessed with . I have a diferent path but i was alsol blessed with a bit of that "Light" moment, and the feeling of peace you get is astonishing. Thank you Dr. Huberman, for the work and dedication to this venture of podcasting. Im gratefull to you and Dr Martha for sharing the stories and personal life on this video

[@lionritchie8201]

You have had some unbelievably good interviews but this one is just insane. She is incredibly wise.

[@TrashGnome]

Just finished this podcast and came here to tell you that this was FAR AND AWAY the best episode I’ve listened to. I became an avid follower after a friend sent me your alcohol episode. Just incredible light. I’ll follow up in a few years if this ends up being true, but it feels like my life has changed significantly.

[@kaleidoscopicboo]

This is something else Andrew!! I think I am speaking for thousands of other listeners when i say - we LOVED seeing this side of yours. Of course the info and knowledge you provide on other eps are imp too, but this right here is what has the power over anything to heal the world!!! ufff thank you so much for introducing Dr Martha to us, gosh such a GEM!! I hope you bring her to the show once again

[@CassandraCarlopio]

This is one of my favorite conversations I’ve listened to in a long time. Thank you so much for bringing Martha’s wisdom and brilliance to all of us. She is one of my true heroes and listening to her is the medicine this recovering people pleasure needs. Your honesty and willingness to be vulnerable in this conversation is also a gift. Thank you.

[@barrilaco-imports]

This is so Awesome!!! I’m a Martha Beck certified coach, I had also long benefit from all her teachings, had changed my life, and that of those around me. Love you guys!!! ❤️❤️Thanks for doing all your work for improving the lives of soooo many people ☺️

[@tomasmunoz-moxey1176]

First video I watch to start my day, hearing the visualization practice at the start confirms I will be following my dreams and moving to the Colorado mountains all the way from South Florida where I have lived my whole life. I tried the practice and had a very similar vision laying with my Minature Pinscher (no bull dogs here). Thank you for these videos Huberman.

[@freebiebean9986]

I came back here to say…. After listening to this I started reading North Star and Martha Beck is remarkable in her depth and connection…she connects and communicates so deftly. I can see reason for Huberman’s admiration and it’s very cool to see this side of him here. I’m paused.

[@julieschaefer5858]

This is the 2nd time I have watched this episode. I 100% agree that Martha Beck is a very wonderful person and teacher. I agree with her that you also are living your purpose to educate and also contribute to the attempt to heal our society. Thank you soooo much for your work!!!😊

[@aubreyeyre-bohne8241]

I’m so happy and grateful you were able to be more vulnerable for this. You mentioned the untrue judgements placed on you and others in the spotlight. I think this type of vulnerability is a beautiful way to show your truth.

[@KonstantinTarasevic]

Just put my Doggo, my Best Friend to sleep after 14 years together. It was august 8th. Start listening to this podcast and of course they talk about dogs. And i thought im going crazy with my loss. But its actually nice to know Andrew And Martha hard similar thoughts even a few years after their pet passings. And as always, thanks for all your work, mr. Huberman.

[@l.silcher]

Your dogs body has left, but the shared love will never leave

[@TheOpinionatedMama]

This is mere brilliance! Heartfelt gratitude for this podcast 🙏🏼 My two favorites in one frame 😊

[@summittspawn]

The JOY and LOVE shared in this episode is unparalleled 🎉 Thank you both SO MUCH for being yourselves and sharing authentically! My heart swells with belonging, inspiration and admiration 🎉

[@teralsondruprealtor9290]

I can’t love this enough! Planned to listen for 45 min… now been through it 4x! It’s soooo good! 😢❤

[@Em-su6iq]

This will change my life. I am speechless and thoughtless (?) after watching this. I have been suffering for years, self helping myself, which has its pros and cons, lol, but this video helped to put everything into place. This is the first time I've listened to your podcast. The short of Martha talking about suffering brought me here. Thank you Sooooo much. ❤❤❤

[@Emilia00]

@Em-su6iq I normally never react, but I somehow feel like I need to right now. I really resonate with your comment. I have been suffering for years as well, and for me so many puzzle pieces have come together after doing a course that combines a lot of what Martha speaks of. It’s called Be your Own Medicine, by Rebecca Tolin. I highly recommend it. I hope this might help you as well on your journey. (Not affiliated with her/not getting anything out of this, I just want to help other people who are suffering and searching for answers).

[@chino2531]

THANK YOU ANDREW AND MARTHA, AND CONGRATS ON FINISHING YOU BOOK!❤

[@ToshaReece-CedarSlices]

Andrew- upon reading most of the messages to hubermanlab podcasts I've watched thus far, i am in awe by the appreciation shown by nearly everyone who posts. I love your voice, your laughter, and your heart. Good job🐾

[@michelle4688]

The feeding an addict of one's own love, that's a powerful reframe. Dealing with that right now with a very persistent ex. It's hard - I needed this.

[@kirkleyelizabeth]

This episode completely won me over and was AMAZING, raw, real, and actionable! THANK YOU Andrew Huberman and Martha Beck for your honesty and courage!! Keep going!

[@douglassmith9325]

Andrew-- THANK YOU for this. I have been listening to your podcast from day one and of all the incredible episodes and helpful information and fascinating guests you've given us, this episode spoke to me and has brought me a lot of comfort. It let me let go of guilt I had when I chose self-care and preservation over a failing marriage. Thank you for all you do.

[@helenemi64]
