"Control the mind with the body" Hold up. Mind creates language. Mind labels itself as a body with a mind. Mind says let's use the body to control the mind. Mind says, "how do I control my mind through my body?" Mind hopefully realizes that it's playing a stupid game.

Thank you for hosting me Chris, for your questions and insights and for your commitment to bringing in depth discussion about science, psychology and the rest to the world. Also thank you to your production team. You are a class act and your dedication to your craft is evident in all you do; it's no surprise that your channels are growing so fast!

When I read Freud more than forty years ago, I felt physically ill, I almost had to vomit, his work seemed so stupid and irrational to me. Then when I was about twenty, reading The Primal Scream by Arthur Janov and all his other books, I felt truth. So-called "psychology" doesn't actually exist and this term should be erased because it is misleading and psychology has absolutely nothing to do with science, it is basically what a fortune teller does...

I love what he says about recovering from heartbreak as going from grief, trying to bridge the distance in time and space to putting that person or relationship as a concept. In the past I was unable to give up. I thought if I did something I could get them back. Probably inspired by romance movies or just a real stubbornness.. Now that I'm not 18 I realize that I can look fondly on the relationship but to just put it behind me and accept it wasn't meant to be :)

[@nackedgrils9302]

Hearing Dr. Huberman talk about how he was obsessed with learning and teaching even as a kid has made me realize that this is probably the main reason why what he does resonates so much with me. I was and still am that annoying obsessive kid but, for some odd reason, I didn't picture him as such even though he single-handedly taught me more about biology than anyone else. I guess he's learned to be balanced. I still have so much more to learn from him! Thanks for another amazing episode guys!

I’m only three and a half minutes into this and I’m already compelled to share an experience I had. I’m loving this episode, btw. I’ve developed the ability to remain comfortable in an ice bath for pretty long periods. On a good day, i spend 30 minutes immersed up to my chin without getting cold and shivering. I don’t know what my limit is. The key to developing this ability is breathing, more specifically, breath holding. As soon as I started holding my breath, everything shifted and the cold moved from the center to the periphery. My method is long, deep breath holds, aiming for one breath cycling per minute. One day I was settling in for a nice long session and was quite comfortable with the ice cold. In a moment of inattention I took a single breath from my upper chest which raised my shoulders for a split second. I almost immediately started shivering. It was a revelation. Like you said, those fight or flight signals are a two way street. The body can trigger the mind and vice versa.

[@ManassehDavid]

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🤖 The autonomic nervous system governs our state of alertness, influencing our ability to control our thoughts and emotions. 03:34 🧠 When stressed or anxious, our thoughts become narrow and it feels like the state will last forever. Shifting our autonomic arousal through body-based techniques can help us think differently and regain control. 08:41 🌬️ Fear of increased carbon dioxide levels in the blood triggers a panic response, illustrating the role of the brainstem in fear responses. 14:36 👀 Visual fears, like heights and dangerous stunts, tap into our primal response to gravity and depth perception. 17:10 💬 Emotional fears, such as fear of failure or social disapproval, share a common pathway of increased autonomic arousal funneled through limbic structures like the amygdala and hypothalamus. Early life experiences and context influence individual fears. 21:12 🧠 Treating extreme emotional states, like in emergency rooms, sometimes involves using ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, to help individuals dissociate from their intense emotions. 22:05 🌊 Facing traumatic experiences and near-death situations can help individuals conquer and integrate those experiences, preventing persistent fear and trauma. 23:15 💥 Successful trauma treatments often involve exposure therapy, gradually and with the assistance of a clinician, allowing individuals to confront their trauma-inducing feelings. 24:26 🏃‍♂️ David Goggins actively seeks challenging situations, constantly pushing his limits to create what Andrew Huberman refers to as "limbic friction," building the ability to handle high-stress situations. 26:33 🔥 Dealing with stress involves raising your stress threshold, which allows you to tolerate high levels of adrenaline while maintaining clear thinking and functionality. 29:32 💔 Heartbreak and grief share similarities in the brain with highly motivated states aimed at bridging the gap in time and space left by the loss of a loved one. 36:06 💔 Men may have a harder time recovering from breakups due to societal conditioning that encourages the repression of emotions, preventing the full processing of grief and loss. 41:46 🎵 Art often resonates with extreme emotional states, such as loss or anger, creating a sense of limbic resonance between the creator and the audience. 43:39 🤝 Human bonding often involves the release of dopamine, with anticipation playing a crucial role in shaping our perception of time. 49:03 📱 Social media engagement can trigger dopamine release, but it can quickly shift to an obsessive-compulsive behavior due to diminishing novelty. 52:47 🔄 Intermittent random rewards, like those used in social media algorithms, can keep people engaged due to their unpredictability. 56:04 🧐 Repeatedly creating positive anticipation and failing to deliver can diminish the impact of rewards and lower motivation. 59:43 🏆 Rewarding without effort or success can destroy motivation and lead to negative outcomes. Effort followed by reward is more effective. 01:00:39 🧊 Activities like cold exposure can create long-lasting arcs of dopamine, potentially serving as a natural motivator and antidepressant. 01:02:29 🤔 Initially, dopamine detoxing may seem silly, but it's worth exploring as a potential strategy to reset your dopamine system and regain focus and motivation. 01:02:44 🧠 Taking breaks from high-intensity, highly rewarding activities like addictive drugs, social media, or pornography can help reestablish dopamine balance and prevent a decline in dopamine response. 01:05:03 📚 Consuming a lot of pornography, especially at a young age, can program the brain to be aroused by watching others having sex, potentially leading to difficulties in real-life sexual interactions. 01:06:24 🌟 Extremely palatable food, extreme pornography, and extreme experiences can set a high threshold for dopamine release, leading to larger drops in dopamine levels, and a cycle of pursuing increasingly intense stimuli. 01:09:00 🏁 Setting milestones or goals, whether small or large, can trigger dopamine release and adrenaline production, providing motivation and energy to achieve them. 01:15:06 🧐 Expectations and mindset can have a real physiological impact on our bodies, influencing our response to various stimuli and even affecting longevity. 01:19:45 💪 The mindset that "stress grows you" can be a powerful approach to life, but it's important to balance stress with periods of non-destructive deliberate reset and consider other ways to grow without stress. 01:22:30 ❤️ Approaching life with love in your heart can help avoid energy sinks, maintain focus, and ultimately lead to success in various domains. 01:23:25 🦔 Andrew Huberman describes how he associates people with animals based on their characteristics and behaviors, like Lex Fridman being akin to a wolverine due to his strength and persistence. 01:26:11 🤝 Huberman discusses the importance of offering friends not only support and reassurance but also constructive criticism and encouragement to push them towards their goals. 01:27:21 🥕 Huberman explores three types of rewards: immediate reward for accomplishments, punishment for mistakes, and the promise of future rewards as powerful motivators for self-improvement and motivation in others. 01:31:28 ☀️ Huberman shares his morning routine, emphasizing the significance of getting natural sunlight early in the day, hydrating, and doing cognitively challenging tasks before consuming caffeine. 01:36:37 💪 Huberman outlines his workout routine, which includes weight training, cardio exercises like jogging or skipping rope, and occasional yoga nidra naps for rejuvenation. 01:41:47 🎙️ Huberman discusses his approach to podcasting, dedicating time to research and preparation, and finding immense pleasure in the process, which helps him create in-depth and engaging content. 01:42:28 🍽️ Finding an eating schedule, such as intermittent fasting, that works for you can help tap into adrenaline and dopamine resources and potentially improve focus and control over energy systems. 01:43:37 💤 Having a consistent meal schedule can anchor your sleep schedule, aiding in maintaining a healthy routine. 01:45:28 ❌ Overly focusing on changing dietary intake can distract from achieving goals in work and relationships, so once you find a routine that works, stick with it. 01:52:04 🥵 Combining heat and cold exposure in your routine can have various benefits, such as increasing metabolism, improving alertness, and enhancing growth hormone release. 01:57:46 🧖‍♂️ Sauna and cold exposure can be integrated into your routine based on your goals, but be cautious about heat's impact on sperm viability for men trying to conceive. 02:01:39 ☀️ Sunlight exposure on the skin can increase testosterone and estrogen levels, as well as feelings of desire and sexual passion due to its impact on hormonal cycles. 02:02:08 🏋️‍♂️ Activities like high-intensity interval training, yoga nidra, meditation, and even napping can have profound effects on our physiology, tapping into powerful internal systems. 02:03:21 🌎 Phthalates, found in pesticides and certain plastics, can affect sperm counts and testosterone levels, especially in areas with high pesticide use. 02:05:53 💧 Printed receipts can be a significant source of BPA exposure, potentially impacting hormone levels, so it's advisable to minimize handling them. 02:11:53 💊 Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) should be approached carefully, with low and frequent doses being more favorable than higher infrequent doses. 02:13:01 💡 Understanding the complex interplay of hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and DHT is crucial for optimizing health, and Derek from More Plates More Dates has played a significant role in normalizing discussions around hormones on the internet. 02:19:32 🌊 Exploring deep biological factors, like hormones and neuromodulators, can lead to a more profound understanding of mental health and well-being beyond surface-level interventions. 02:21:50 🧠 Finding good mentors, both real and role models, is essential for personal growth and success. 02:23:12 ⏳ Time management strategies, such as those inspired by Tim Ferriss, can significantly enhance productivity and effectiveness. 02:24:38 🌟 Embracing stress as a tool for growth and reflection can lead to better decision-making and positive life changes. 02:25:20 💡 Leveraging fear and projecting it into the future can motivate better decision-making and help overcome challenging situations. 02:27:57 🌺

Reading those 1 Day after watching the full podcast was truly powerful. It seems like I have now internalized the insights better, and was also able to repeat the segments in which the insight was not so clear. Thank you!

[@MichaelPohoreski]

That description of *dopamine == seeking novelty* at 50:08 is a beautiful succinct summary!

[@SR.AIMentalHealth]

Can anyone recommend more podcasts where Huberman shares his knowledge like this one? He has a lot of information to share but on his channel, he is the host.

[@ravnos04]

Wow, his part about stress and aperture thinking is something I haven’t even connected. When I was an Intel Officer in the Army, I never was able to translate how I could connect certain dots when thinking about a problem. Or be able to make connections from reading seemingly sparse reports. I never connected it to the stress my mind was placed under when conducting that job…because if I made a mistake, the currency of that is someone’s life. Thank you for this podcast.

00:04 Focus on controlling the mind by controlling the body. 05:34 Stress narrows vision and thinking, making it difficult to handle the situation. 15:39 Fear involves increased autonomic arousal and is funneled through limbic structures. 20:19 Experiencing trauma can lead to long-term negative imprints, but treatments involving exposure and integration can be effective. 29:35 Neural circuits for attachment styles in childhood are repurposed for romantic attachment in adulthood 34:03 Grief is a motivated state that gradually wanes over time, resulting in a shift of memory and a waning of motivation. 43:01 Limbic resonance creates a bond between people through extreme states and shared experiences. 47:36 Dopamine is the molecule of motivation and drive. 56:34 Creating positive anticipation is important, but it should be balanced with avoiding letdowns. 1:01:11 Dopamine detoxing can be useful for restoring dopamine levels and balancing addictive behaviors. 1:10:20 Setting milestones and generating dopamine and adrenaline helps people persist and live longer. 1:14:56 Expectations can have a powerful impact on our physiological responses. 1:24:22 Lex is a hard worker and wants people to push him harder 1:28:54 Visualizing failure is a better motivator than visualizing success. 1:37:45 The speaker follows a structured routine that includes workouts, meals, work blocks, and podcast recordings. 1:41:54 Intermittent fasting can provide benefits for focus and energy levels. 1:50:45 Sauna and cold exposure have various benefits for the body. 1:55:01 Regular use of sauna and cold exposure can have beneficial effects on the body. 2:03:42 Exposure to phthalates in utero can reduce sperm counts and affect anogenital distance in males. 2:08:26 Phthalates and testosterone levels can affect male fertility. 2:17:23 Baldness drugs can cause severe defects in libido and sexual performance. 2:22:00 Selecting mentors and adopting helpful strategies 2:30:45 Tattoos are a form of expression, but I prefer to keep them hidden during lectures or podcasts. 2:34:46 Throat and face tattoos can change the perception of a person's face and compete with the processing of their face in its normal way.

This is the best podcast I've heard Huberman on. Keep it up, man!

[@catherineiselin]

My fear (and I am Swiss) is climbing and feeling vertigo! 🙂 When I am feeling vertigo, I crouch and fall to the ground, unable to move and crawl to a safe place. So, well, I cannot walk on narrow paths high up near summits, cannot and do not fly anymore, but ... I loved sailing on the high seas, galloping horses, skiing on black slopes, and felt joy no fear at all, but pure joy, even bliss. The journey towards self-discovery, awareness, and true consciousness is an amazingly interesting journey! So much to learn about oneself and the whole infinity that we are part of! I find your video above extremely interesting and informative. Thank you so much for this.

[@HerbSterbermerbler]

Brevity is the soul of wit- Huberman has a magic skill for saying in a thousand words what could be said in a hundred.

[@aldayalnite]

The way he speaks makes it so much easier for me to follow the thread of his thought. The way Andrew uses the name of the thing he’s referring to repeatedly instead of using “it”, “that”, etc. Yes, he uses a lot of words. But he’s always thorough and complete, a rare quality these days. I’m grateful for his lack of brevity. I’ve learned so much from him, not just the material, but because if his style.

I recently stumbled across your podcasts and I’m hooked- almost like your doing personal requests for me. I have to say this is probably my favourite! Props to the production guys too - this is fantastic quality !

[@YSLRD]

I've had multiple losses and trauma in my life. As an older person, my method has become: Let the grief roll for 3 days- with as much stress free comfort as is available ( friends, food, outdoors). Then that's it. Sublimate away. I call it my lock box. It might take few weeks to seal up completely. Works for me. It's been my method for 20 years. No explosions.

That was an amazing conversation. Lots of gems and takeaways! Thank you for from the bottom of my heart for every single minute of this experience

[@ChrisProuse]

Fascinating discussion - thanks for sharing! Interesting side note - at 6:04 when Andrew talks about eyes dilating, he says that "narrows the aperture of your visual field... so when you're stressed, you literally see things through a small aperture". Technically speaking, a dilated eye is a bigger aperture, and it works similarly to opening up the aperture in a camera lens for example. The effect actually narrows the plane of focus / creates a more shallow depth-of-field that helps you isolate things from the foreground and background, which become out of focus areas or "bokeh". It's akin to a big prime lens with a large, wide open aperture, used to take portrait shots that blur out the background.

[@KarlMagnusBlindheim]

Interesting! What Huberman is talking about isn't about eye optics but the mind's eye and what is called "the attentional spotlight" which relates to how visual attention operates in our visual field. It is a method for conceptualizing how we process visual stimuli and how attention is not necessarily where our eyes are pointed and focused but that it roves around in our field of vision and registers things of importance. The narrowing is the shrinking of that attentional spotlight in a high-adrenaline state.

[@ChrisProuse]

@@KarlMagnusBlindheim - Ya, the point I’m trying to make is a wide open aperture (like a dilated eye, or wide open lens) doesn’t mean you “literally see through a small aperture” as he puts it… because in those cases you’re literally looking through a big aperture. From an optical perspective, the size of the aperture, big or small, doesn’t actually affect the field of view or what’s in the frame… though it would help you isolate the target with regards to depth. It really just intensifies what’s in your perceived attentional spotlight… but the attentional spotlight itself in your mind’s eye isn’t a direct result of a wide or narrow aperture.

The way the dopamine and motivation system its described with how being let down effects your dopamine and literally everything around that time stamp ( ~1hr deep) is so relatable that it kind of blows my mind that I have self awareness to my own body and how it works, especially after ' wrecking ' the whole system with so much drug use but after being mostly clean for 2 years I feel like I not only feel back to normal but I have learned how to use language to describe how I feel now , which is a lot after the meth heroin fent act you name it I have consumed copious amounts ha.
