Mark Zuckerberg & Dr. Priscilla Chan: Curing All Human Diseases & the Future of Health & Technology

In this episode, my guests are Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook, Inc.), and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, M.D., co-founder and co-CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). We discuss how CZI plans to cure all human diseases by the end of this century by funding transformative projects and technologies at the intersection of biology, engineering, and artificial intelligence (AI). They describe their funding and development of Biohubs and the progress already underway to accelerate the understanding of cell function, pathways, and disease. Then, Mark discusses social media, its impact on mental health, and new tools for online experiences. We also discuss Meta’s virtual reality (VR), augmented and mixed reality tech, and how AI will soon completely transform our online and physical life experiences. This episode ought to interest anyone curious about biology, medicine, mental health, AI, and the future of technology and humanity.

If you as an adult are addicted to these platforms, it's the same as substance abuse in this context - if you get black-out drunk or extremely high on cannabis, you will not go and sue the manufacturers or start yelling at nature, you rethink your choices.

Hi Andrew! First and foremost, I want to express my immense gratitude for the incredible work you've been doing with your podcast. Your content has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, including mine, and it's been truly transformative. However, I couldn't help but have some mixed feelings about this interview. While I appreciate the importance of discussing such topics, it does strike me as a bit hypocritical. Facebook and Instagram, have been repeatedly criticized for their role in promoting various mental health issues like anxiety, depression, anorexia, addiction and the list goes on. It's disheartening to see the tech giants aware of these problems yet not taking more meaningful action to address them. I hope your podcast can continue to shed light on these issues, perhaps even by inviting more experts who can offer solutions to these problems. Keep up the great work, and thank you for being a platform for these essential discussions.

[@matteo7306]

Did you even watch the interview? It's literally the first segment with Zuck and Andrew. It's crazy reading these comments as they're a bunch of people who didn't bother watching.

Everyone keeps saying "tech giants aware of these problems yet not taking more meaningful action to address them" I can't think of any way to fix this problem. If tech giants force users to do.. anything.. such as taking a break, then they are attacking on personal freedom. The only solution I see, is the users and users parents taking responsibility to care for themselves. The main point of Social Media is to provide long distance connection. How users connect is up to them.

This is the first Huberman Lab podcast episode that I have been disappointed by. Unlike some others, I am not against getting an individual like Mark Zuckerberg on the podcast, because there is the chance to question him and create a thought-provoking discussion. However, there should absolutely have been more pressing questioning surrounding the issues of social media addiction and screen time. This podcast seemed more like an advertisement for the Meta products and services. Please take these comments into consideration, Andrew.

Social media use (addiction) is directly correlated with the increase in depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Teenagers spend over six hours a day on social media kids no longer move. It has been called the greatest health risk of our time. It is ironic to have Mark Zuckerberg and his wife on the show talking about the future of health and creating tools when they are responsible for one of the biggest health crisis of today. If they wanted to help, they would do more than tools that nobody uses, especially teenagers. It’s not surprising that the medical doctor was not on for the second part of the podcast as she would not be able to lie about the science.

Former Huberman Lab Premium Member, here. Harkening back to the first episodes - with our beloved 'Costello' snoring in the background, my dog 'Buck' (a robust, 100 lb. yellow lab) would listen on a bluetooth speaker. It seemed 'Buck' found Costello's snoring soothing. Loved the episode where you addressed those complaining about Costello's snoring and you said - and I quote - "Sorry - not sorry. Costello stays." Loved the 90-minute Ultradian Cycle-length episodes of just you speaking to the camera. They were clear, concise, and straight to the point. They honored the listener's time and attention. Told everyone I know about The HLP and how - the only way we'd be able to hear a lecture from someone of your stature, would be to enroll in Stanford University Medical School. Those were great episodes, and I was grateful to offer my humble $100 bucks to be a Premium Member of The HLP. It was the least I could do to repay such stellar content. The past year that changed, and I found the format longer and longer, and the guest lists spotty. With that, I decided not to renew my Premium Membership. Such is the price of success in any enterprise. A machine forms around a winning model, and that machine needs to be fed more and more. Your format was once unique, Dr. Huberman - and I'll always be grateful for it. Keep up your stellar work. My very best regards in all your endeavors.

When the opposite happens we just can't deal with it. That's how stupid we got with all the access to information we have nowadays. Stupid, childish and intolerable. Huberman has an impressive amount of knowledge, I personally appreciate some of the information that he presents, although since a long while ago the episodes got waaaay too long and in MY opinion, there's a lot of wording with very little being said, in another words, an influencer, a content creator with a degree (which seems more reliable than any other "influperson" who talks crap online with no real knowledge) but an influencer nevertheless, I personally find difficult to believe that he uses all the stuff (sponsors) that he promotes, still, I listen, I enjoy some of it and a thank Mr Huberman for putting this information out.

This includes everything from enabling social media addiction (particularly as it relates to children), to providing a platform for misinformation, to simply doing everything possible to harvest as much personal information about each and every one of us (even those of us who aren't on FB/Insta/etc). Zuck might have gone into this trying to improve his reputation, but I think he just dragged Huberman down instead.

Been a day 1 fan of your podcast.

Thank you for all the quality things you've put out. I am truly grateful. Just had to add to the chorus of criticism about this particular choice. It could have been more impactful and seemingly more in alignment with the quality of this podcast to have scientists or folks who run their labs to be interviewed in stead.

I was skeptical of watching this episode for fear it would dissuade me from watching future episodes of HL, however I find myself nearing the end of the show and my thoughts are mostly optimistic for the following reasons: 1) As a long time viewer of HL I’ve found that Huberman’s approach to interviews are wrapped in genuine curiosity and a dialectical thought process. In the context of this exchange, the merging of cutting edge science and (unavoidable) current/future technology can be complimentary and benefit all of us through the collaboration and cooperation of people and organizations (that would not normally work together) in the direction of virtue (and likely a new level of accountability). 2) I personally align to the idea of “nothing is good, nothing is bad, only thinking makes it so” and therefore appreciate the opportunity to hear the uninterrupted perspectives offered up for consideration. The agenda here is to inform and brainstorm. The ideas presented are with an underlying message of hope. The tone of the conversation tends to remind me that we all learn from our mistakes - not just in science, and technology but in all fields. This is eluded to in the dialogue but without the need for anyone to defend past errors. Instead, there is room to respectfully allow for the acknowledgment that mistakes are necessary to inform better processes in science and tech (and all things) in order to discover better and more innovative solutions. 3) Huberman likely didn’t need to start this podcast in the first place but from what I’ve gathered, he did so out of a desire to educate and inform and NOT with the desire to persuade or convince. In my opinion, this interview supports that mission. I obviously can’t speak for AH, but there is little doubt that airing this particular episode, with these particular guests, represented a variety of risks. I’ve no doubt that AH considered how this episode might impact his fan base, reputation, public perception, and who knows what else…but he did it anyway. That takes courage - especially these days when anyone with a following can expect the inevitable onslaught of negative comments that are altogether unhelpful, unnecessary, insensitive, and likely misinformed. 4) Bravo Andrew Huberman for sharing this conversation - you are still the man! I have learned more about my own health and my own body machine than I ever thought I could understand since becoming a fan of this channel. This particular episode filled me with hope. I have been dealing with a variety of health issues for about 7 years now - all of them seemingly unrelated to the others - but after almost 5 years of researching and advocating hard for my various conditions and with a variety of specialists - pleading to try different approaches and encouraging better communication between specialist, we are finally starting to make some connections to the fact that…IT’S ALL CONNECTED! If AI and more unconventional methods of collaboration could have existed already, as suggested in this episode, I’m sure I’d be feeling a lot better by now and could have spent a lot more time with my daughter these past 5 years rather than pouring over medical journals and incessantly searching the bowels of the internet for answers. Thank you for all that you do to inform, educate, and encourage at a level of understanding to things so complicated that most in your position would not have the patience, desire, or courage to share.

Hei, great episode. Big fan of your work. Thank you for it all and for burning bridges and connecting people and cultures around science. Truly remarcable. I have a bit of a conundrum lately. Would be so kind to shine some light upon it ? I have heard you and Dr Attia say that muscle is a very important aspect for health and longevity and that one should do as much as possible to preserve it. Energy for muscle is protein. Recomandations of dayly use are between , if I remember correctly, 1.2g protein / kg up to 2.4g / kg . Once aging begins , one has to consume more protein in order to hold on to muscle mass. In order to be hitting that numbers , I feel like you have to be eating all the time. How do one balances that with keeping a healthy weight ? How does one reconcile that with fasting ? Do one has to eat in order to reach an optimal protein intake, even if not hungry ? Protenin supplements are great but how much protein can one take from supplements per day ? How does this fit with Dr. David Sinclair take on things, who is of the opinion you should fast as much as possible and keep the cells of your body "on their toes" in order to be healthy ? And a second part ... closer to my skin , so it be great if you can adress this as well. Thank you. My mum has been severly overweight for most of her adult life. Now she reached her 60's and I would like to understand what to recommend her to do as a course of action. Losing weight and therefore losing muscle ? I know muscle is important once one advances in life and it is almost impossible to get back at that age. And as before, if the idea is to lose weight - how can one hit the protein goal for muscle and lose weight in the same time ? Or should I recommend keeping a steady weight level, and pay more attention to nutrion in order to save muscle mass ? Thank you once again for the great work, and thank you once again for taking the time.

Mr Andrew Hubermann, as all here I appreciated your channel so far very much. An intelligent person like you should understand that technology in health might makes us more and more sick. Nowadays almost everyone is diagnosed for something and therefore treated with poison (medication). In future AI will find out when at a young age that we might get cancer or whatever and out of fear that it will really happen we will live our life in misery and depression. On top of that almost all of us get vaccinated for something that might happen or not. An entire population will be stalled under medical drugs. We need someone who solves the real problem. 8 Billion people need organic, fresh, unprocessed and untreated food on their tables. Clean untreated water for everyone is needed.

[@johnschmid865]

Where is your integrity Dr Huberman? You’ve said multiple times on this pod “The worst thing you can do is scroll social media”. Zuckerberg’s goal objectively is to get people to scroll social media, as much as possible. This is truly disgusting

[@stevesimard5369]

I seriously wish Im wrong, but I guess it has everything to do with financing his activities. I mean, he probably just didn't anticipate this massive rejection (with all the legitimity it has). But at the same time, he is pretty intelligent. I can't really understand why he accepted the offer. It certainly did not came from him.

[@vfitteruniversity]

I understand your frustration. While it's true that social media can be addictive, it's also important to recognize that it can be a valuable tool for connecting with others, sharing information, and raising awareness about important issues. It's interesting to see how people's opinions on social media can vary so greatly. While some may see it as a negative influence, others may see it as a valuable tool for staying connected and informed.

[@stevesimard5369]

@@vfitteruniversity well, all you said is true, but people are frustrated because Mrs Zg just tried to get people addicted the most he could. I just hope he changed his mind, those days and years, but he also has pressures from the stock market.

[@vfitteruniversity]

I guess it would be fair to say if you had an app company you would do the same thing. He wouldn't necessarily call it addiction. He would say usage and monthly viewers. To be honest with you, investors expect those numbers. You could have the best application in the world and the key to have Users Is to show them what they want to see. Basically their interests! And if someone's interests are addicting. Would you still blame the app.@@stevesimard5369

Dr Huberman your videos have changed my life a great deal, especially the earlier ones and Andy Galpin. For that I am immensely thankful. Recently however, I have found that either they are too repetitive, lack depth on the research or the interview questions are not well phrased (except when the interviewee takes responsibility and rephrases the question). This one now marks to me the end of the journey. I cannot trust this podcast anymore in the future and will keep only referring to some of the earlier episodes when I need to review.

[@doublet630]

This!!! 100% this.

[@alicequayle4625]

I wonder if Huberman has overstretched himself on quantity at the expense of quality. . Combination of flattery and pressure perhaps.

[@imm0rtalitypassi0n]

​​@@alicequayle4625seems a safe bet on the overstretching part. who knows in regards to motive but fame and fortune do most often have their way with people.

[@katw8235]

Exactly my feeling. I feel very disappointed ... :(

Having Mark Zuckerberg on a podcast about Health and Fitness is like…really stupid

[@brightflower144]

To be honest with you, I was quite surprised to see the names and theme of this postcast. It was an automatic turn off for me. Speechless.

[@viktoriax7228]

I haven't listened this, but the title alone diminished my interest. I find it perplexing that Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are positioned as authorities on the future of health. It is so disgusting

My inner consciousness replied with a serious NO...to this video

[@hellewindelv-lidzelius6998]

Dear Andrew Huberman. Thank you for always being curious and broadening my perspective on life. No matter what guest you bring on board I will listen, no matter if its ‘my cup of tea’ or not as that’s irrelevant, since I am here to learn and wonder and reflect. Life gets kind of one-sided and boring, if I only surround myself with and listen to people, that I agree with. If I can wonder, question, reflect and stay curious about what each episode brings forward I am super-satisfied. Judgemental approach is the easiest of all. I consider it to be neither mine nor anybody else here than YOU to decide whom to interview or not. You are not here to please me nor anybody else. I am just so great full to be here and to able to listen and learn from everything. Let’s rise above the flow of harch comments and get some human respect and positive vibes into this precious online Huberman classroom instead! We are given so so much here - no matter if we like/don’t like/agree/disagree. I am already looking forward to your next episode ☀️☀️☀️🇩🇰!

[@juanrabanales4933]

This is just sad. For many reasons. Really wish you read the comments on this video Dr. Huberman

[@hashanmfernando]

I love Andrew, but I remember how Congress grilled Mark on children mental health problems and revealing of his targetted approach to children. Having him as a guest is a black mark for this valuable podcast.

[@rasn]

Agreed. Andrew lost a lost of credibility because of this. did he not think this through at all? Says a lot about his character to be interviewing a gross human like Mark, who is responsible and continuing to directly mess up our world.

Andrew has a had a lot of questionable guests and has gone on some very questionable podcasts. Its part of the speaking circuit/grift these days unfortunatly.

[@Unanythang]

Andrew. I highly doubt you will read this. First of all, I just want to say that I understand that it is completely your right to have whatever guest you would like to on to your show, as it is YOUR show after all. I just want to point out to you all of these KZbin comments. I know it's normally unhealthy to read them, but you should actually do it. This time. You will find a common underlying theme with the majority of these comments. We are all trying to tell you something. Listen to it. This was a miss. And it was your first one as far as I was concerned. No judgement man, just food for thought

[@imm0rtalitypassi0n]

Well said.

[@sfdclay]

He has said in the past they he/they do read all of the comments, so yeah hopefully this one will be a wake up call and he doesn’t go talk to bill gates next

[@rich1701]

My life is much better after quitting facebook.

[@mchen2779]

I am quite surprised to see this interview on this channel and thinking what the comments gonna be like. I have answers here and I felt like I am not the only one. But still, big fan of Huberman, I truly found any topics on this channel can be helpful. I only listened to 10mins of this interview though, but if they fund your lab, that’s fantastic and this is all I wanted to know. Keep up the good works!❤

[@dporchia1]

If Zuckerberg funds Huberman Lab I fear the truth and science will be greatly compromised 😮Please NO!!!

[@abhisekism]

Absolutely shocked to see Huberman bringing a hypocrit to his podcast. FB is single handedly making millions of children and teenagers mentally ill. And here is its founder lecturing about the future of health. Like, WTF? Totally unexpected from HL.

[@mumbojumbo118118]

FB is a tool Who is giving these children and teenagers unbridled access to the Internet and social media? To blame an individual is an oversimplification at best

[@-whackd]

It is not making anyone mentally ill and there is no study on this showing causation.

[@billymahonyy]

how does fb make children unwell? genuine question. obviously social media can be bad news when people get addicted to it, but surely its up to parents/elders to educate. i started on facebook when i was a 16 and sure its pretty mindless and many stupid posts, but i just dont overdue it. it helps me stay connected with friends form all around the world. why is it so toxic in your opinion? curious

[@mremtb7689]

​@@billymahonyyno it's designed to be addictive and the social pressure from piers to be on it is huge. Also, most parents are not self aware enough to even notice their own addiction to social media and their phones. I believe it's one of the worst things that's ever happened to people. Everyone walking around like zombies.

[@alismonaalis]

⁠@@mremtb7689I absolutely agree with you.
