LIVE EVENT Q&A: Dr. Andrew Huberman Question & Answer in Chicago, IL

Recently I had the pleasure of hosting a live event in Chicago, IL. This event was part of a lecture series called The Brain Body Contract. My favorite part of the evening was the question & answer period, where I had the opportunity to answer questions from the attendees of each event. Included here is the Q&A from our event in Chicago, IL at The Chicago Theatre.
We'll be hosting four live events in Australia in February 2024. Limited tickets remain for our show in Melbourne on February 10, 2024, and our second show in Sydney at the Aware Super Theatre on February 18, 2024. For tickets and event details, please visit www.hubermanlab.com/events.

Poor Perth😢

[@zzzzzgh]

Hello, I appreciate your podcast. Can you please in one episode, talk about speaking ability and how to improve it. Long years of depression and anxiety has affected my ability to speak eloquently and properly. I mispronounce and forget words while speaking. thanks

[@martine5716]

Looking forward to seeing you in Brisbane 😃

His podcast on pernicious effects of alcohol made me wide awake about the dangers of consuming alcohol, even in small amounts.. Here is the link if you are interested in : ​@@Suzanna-wh3nr

[@romanslavinsky803]

same here. I've been gradually letting off alcohol, but in the end it was his episode and that study he presented that finally led me to this decision. The best decision in my life so far!

[@kimbadull6448]

That is heartening. Just by listening?

[@dalibofurnell]

Thank you. This was lovely ❤

[@tmcoug1]

The longer I stay in the game of progress the more I see how truly crucial it is to bring the physical sciences together with the fields of mental, emotional, spiritual AND historical fields. People have become afraid or dismissive of certain words and subjects, and that keeps them locked into very small worlds. We need the physical, to be sure, to share this life; to have experiences with each other and in solitude, but the physical alone, no matter how long and disease free a life might be molded into, had the texture of a flat, grey void rooted in the heart. Not nearly what is possible. However, if that's all a person has ever experienced, it's pretty tough to convince them there's more. Inside job indeed.

[@shirintobie-paul3501]

Thank you Dr. Huberman, team, sponsors and supporters ☀️

[@user-fi8bn8rb2o]

Thank You Doc

[@justin.baer_]

To the question of the education system: I think if Andrew would be my overall teacher, I wouldn't leave school at all. Thanks for your work and big greetings from Germany!

I wish I was aware of this event. How did I miss it?

[@onislandtime7]

Please talk about daylight savings time when you visit Australia! Some states have it (eg New South Wales) and some don’t (eg here in Queensland) and there’s a strong pro DST movement trying to get it adopted in all states. Love your work - thank you for everything you do! 🙏🙌👏😊

[@lunarteswisewoman]

💙 Beautiful théâtre 😮 I'm thinking nicotine wouldn't be protective of vascular dementia..? Also the term "third eye" is likely appropriated from chakra theory! Another informative and delightful q&a, thank you 🌻

[@johnblake4523]

Huberman for President

[@dropclutch1]

In regards to the question about education reform, in addition to reforming the curriculum to include mind and body wellness education and protocols, I believe the daily structure should be optimized to youths biology. This would include starting later, tayloring learning sessions to a max of 3 90 minute intervals per day with NSDR and/or physical activity in between and also providing healthy plant based meals.

[@margaretmcclymont9327]

Sydney is sold out, we are small but we are mighty, come to New Zealand Aotearoa, we like to think too! You and your team will be very welcome! 🙂

🎉🎉 series with Matthew Walker 😮

[@rexiemoto]

I agree!!! DLS is dumb. I live in Arizona where we don’t observe daylight savings. I moved here over 3 years ago and my sleep schedule has NEVER been more regular. It’s amazing!! Also, most people here get up with the sun. Waking up early is not an issue for us here in Arizona.

[@official_mrpothead]

Great content as always🙌 What about an episode on Howard Gardners theory of multiple intelligence??

[@thirdperson888]

Thank you for the amazing work and sharing the science Professor Huberman. I have a random question for you, but at some point, can you share what you / the field knows about "ISRIB" ? What does it do, and why haven't we heard more about it in a few years? I read an article about it in the MIT Technology review a few years ago and was interested to learn more but haven't really seen much since.

[@1Hawting]

A introduction into the lymphatic system would be great

[@dizzyx05]

this was awesome live audience wish i was there how do you choose ypur questions?

[@ThePodcastineer]

Question…I eat a strict diet and go a long period of time without cheating. I start to feel amazing then I hit a plateau. Why is that when I eat very unhealthy foods it feels like it resets my mood and body to go over that plateau? Is it a dopamine release or do I actually benefit from eating bad foods when it’s a rare occurrence?

[@jsmithsemper4848]

Junk food acts like a protein shot to your healthy diet? Maybe? Idk.

[@primrosed2338]

Have you ever heard of calorie cycling? Its most likely you are not eating enough calories on your non cheat days, so when you do eat junk food, it is a hit of dopamine.

[@user-gx9bg9sw5p]

😊

[@ie_kp]

Hey, I'm not aware if there has been any episode that's already discussed this, but I would be really interested in an episode that discusses the mouth, oral health, and mouth-cleaning protocols (among other topics). I think a lot of people would be interested in knowing what types of tools are out there to promote good oral health. Things like types of toothbrushes, types of toothpaste, types of mouthwash, effects of retainers, effects of nightguards, differences in diet, etc. could be topics of discussion and study. Even things like how oral health affects other systems of the body. Explaining the necessity of certain treatments, like braces or spurs. Or how people perceive others they meet with white teeth, false teeth, crooked teeth, missing teeth, or bad breath. Unless there is already an episode on this info! Either way, I'd love to hear it.

[@kombinatsiya6000]

What a huge audience - such a receipt of success! How did you feel on stage, Andrew?

[@jacksoncampbell2193]

Really would love a podcast on schizophrenia

[@HeatherMoreau]

Great Q&A thanks!! Funny but none of the SoCal meditation/yoga scene seems weird or out there at all to me- so normal! lol Just wanted to comment about the 3rd "eye"- I think people call the pineal gland the "third eye" metaphorically because you can feel a slight to strong stimulation there as you meditate and focus your attention in a centered and inward direction. It's the "eye" (or more clearly stated; "awareness") that opens internally into awareness your calm mental landscape. "Seeing inside" not meant to be an actual "eye". 😊

[@RoaaMansour-pc7sr]

Dr huberman i hope you see this, i was wondering if as a physical therapist i can use the physiological sigh with my patients as part if cardiopulmonary rehab or is there any contraindications? Thanks for your interest in science ❤️

[@brendamoote7304]

I’m sorry I missed your podcast as I find you to be very knowledgable. I have been feeling like a ping-pong ball especially in the last two years. most recently I was taken off an SSRI tried two different medication’s. This was all done without a psychiatrist,if at all possible, do you know any good Neuropsychologist in the area of Markham or thereabouts?? I would greatly appreciate it as I’m suffering due to health professionals who are not sure what they’re doing. Thank you for your consideration. Brenda.😢😅😊

[@ElizabethVM-ke2wd]

SO proud of My country México! We have eliminated daylight savings, Yas Yas Yas! Love You Andy! Hahaha

[@tylerphilp8666]

I always laugh when people say cannabis isn’t addictive and got a good chuckle when Dr. Huberman said to tell them to go a week without it hahaha

[@madeleinegrayson8372]

I was a Hypnotherapist and worked for a time at a rehab center. I have to say, the clients who were there for weed were the ones most often forced to go and who insisted they weren't addicted. Every other type of drug addict fully admitted to their issue, but never the cannabis cult. The propaganda has worked really well in convincing everyone that it's not just harmless, it's healthy. It's absurd.

[@olgazavilohhina6854]

¡Hola Profe!Just wondering,is there any chance for us European "human animals" to see You live in action?Thank You for all Your hard work.

[@Greenbambu78]

What do u think about learning styles in general?

[@ThinkForYourself8258]

Have you ever considered having Ph.d. T Colin Campbell (The China study) on your podcast? His research on IGF-1, protein and cancer is interesting. Also, Dr. Dean Ornish.

[@carri-barefoot-anderson]

Not considering faith even, I believe quantum entanglement is somewhat proof of free will. ♡

[@dalibofurnell]

You can still learn an instrument, how about trying djembe drumming? For some reason that popped into my head as a suggestion ❤

[@sriram7859]

what is the music at the start and the end of the podcast I really love it can u say the name of the music so that I can hear it on a daily basis

[@cameronshepherd4064]

Please PEASE have John Vervaeke on. From what you’ve been saying recently it would be VERY valuable

[@pietlebrun5943]

I agree that shifts are bad due to their rotation, but what if one lives at night, in a long term and regular mode? For example, getting up at 4:00 pm and going to bed at 8:00 am, every single day, for say twenty years? Does that harm a person's health?

[@taniyashah1101]

Can you please do a video on psoriasis? As per medicine, it's not curable. Many people suffer from the same throughout their lives.

[@benkropf9889]

Slay

[@jcszot]

I hate daylight savings time! I hate when the time changes. It doesn’t matter if it goes forward or back. It screws up all the components for me, my eating schedule, my sleep pattern, my bodily functions. 🙄 It always takes me two weeks to recover. 🤬 things in our society are chaotic enough. Leave our clocks alone!

[@user-wg9wu7dr2d]

What is the name of the addiction treatment centre in Florida that you refer to please?

[@msmag-cfarms9660]

🚨QUESTION🚨 Can you explain how cervical spinal damage effects eyes and ears?

[@serewillis8471]
