Andrew Huberman: Regulate Stress in Real Time

Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. (neuroscientist, host of Huberman Lab Podcast) joins us to talk about the beauty and utility of biology. He provides practical tips for stress regulation and improving sleep, and explains the benefits of natural light and cold exposure. Mayim and Dr. Huberman discuss the neuroscience behind acting and mimicry, the physical symptoms of workaholism, and the correlation between dopamine, focus, and motivation. They consider the use of self-hypnosis to regulate your internal state, the negative side effects of social media on our physical bodies, and what the deprivation of healthy physical connection can lead to. They explain ways to control adrenaline to benefit us in times of crisis, the relationship between our eyes and our internal state, and the origins of EMDR and clinical hypnosis.

Besides being extremely knowledgeable, Dr. Huberman really is an amazing communicator. And he’s a great interviewer as well on his podcast. His ability to hone in and summarize everything in an articulate, thorough, and focused way is just so good. I like the way he sneakily flipped roles and became the interviewer, asking Mayim several questions.

His ability to retain information of names of studies, who authored them, what school they were from and then the summaries of the studies and what they found is just amazing. I have listened to him for many years and for you to ask him the top four things that we are lacking or what we should get more of every day crystalized the manual of good health. Dr Attia should be next.

[@manichispanic5234]

Right, Dr huberman just comes out and gives you information while letting you know where he got it and who he got it from. He's not taking credit, he's not telling you what he thinks you need, he's learning and passing along the information. I appreciate that very much.

[@KaleidoscopeMath]

For me it's fascinating how Andrew Huberman manages to get me excited to explore myself and learn so many new things, here I am watching this podcast and thinking I have so much work to do on myself and I am not sad, but excited to unravel my mind's and my body's potential.

[@MayimBialik]

That's definitely the spirit!! Thanks so much for listening!

[@susanswinny588]

I have a fondness for smart people who care and share. In the process of sharing, their humanity is exposed. It's rare and beautiful to observe. I love how open Mayim and Jonathan can be and what it brings out when other smart people are their guests. The crossroads of spirituality, western science, and human experience is of utmost interest to me. I consider the Breakdown to be the best podcast as far as the meeting of intelligence, spirituality, human personal experience and potential. My favorite Breakdown episode is with Michael Singer. I have to say that this particular episode gave me a more profound understanding of Michael and his teachings, due to the insights and personal experiences of Mayim & Jonathan. Michael's books are great, but this interview was very satisfying. I loved all the twists and turns in that interplay. It told me so much about all three people (all good) and myself. I've recommended this Breakdown interview to a few people, especially ones who follow Michael Singer. I'm 70 years old, began learning yoga at 15 and zen buddhism at 19, from both books and live teachers. My parents were highly educated but my degree is in life from the school of hard knocks. My best qualities are awareness, openness, curiosity, honesty, hard working, with a motivation to be kind.

I had five kids drug free. I started before the idea of hypno birthing was known. During my first labor I sort of went into my own trance; I stared at one spot on the wall opposite me and slow breathing (slow long exhales) and it was a total game changer. I felt intensity but not pain.

The summer I integrated some of Dr. Huberman’s visual protocols and my mood improved immensely (also probably in response to better sleep).

It reminds me that drawing and painting and studying art have always been fundamental to develop and nurture my personal agency.

I do believe I experienced adrenal fatigue syndrome this year based on a lot of things that pointed to that including having to catch my breath, not having enough energy to do basic things, etc. I read that eating within 1 hour of waking helps the adrenal glands and can help heal from adrenal fatigue and it made a HUGE positive difference when I did that. I'm convinced that I did have adrenal fatigue syndrome. There's a lot more I can say about it but it's too much to type here. But I also experienced a dysregulated autonomic nervous system and was stuck in fight/flight and couldn't calm as well. I used grounding/earthing, meditation, prayer, affirmations, deep breathing, etc, to heal that. I do wake when my body feels warm. Now I know that's cortisol. Thanks for that.

I love the topic of EMDR. I have really been wanting to see your take on EMDR and now with Andrew Huberman as well, this is great. In the past, I went to a therapist (in FL) who used EMDR to cure me from Nail biting. It only took one session. I had been biting my nails for more than 45 years. It has been 4 years since I was cured of Nail biting and have had no relapses or other issues at all. I told my mirror-image identical twin brother (in TX) about it, and he went and received therapy and it worked for his nail biting issues after one session! My niece had a couple of issues and I was able to help her with them; One was Nail biting, another was dealing with a situation that whenever her husband and kids would start horsing around in the living room (visible from kitchen) she would get very upset. She never has known why, but just wanted to stop the effects of her getting extremely upset, yelling, and then leaving the area. After EMDR, she no longer has any ill reaction at all to the playing around, and to the extent that her husband and kids even noticed she was OK and mentioned it to her. Then another thing EMDR helped her with which is directly related to this story today about regulating stress. She setup via EMDR a way to say a phrase to herself and immediately be able to "Take a breath", and physically Relax. She is a children school teacher for difficult students at the school. On a less serious note; she also uses it for when she goes to hockey games and gets too hyped up and yelling for her team :) . I wanted to share this since many people think EMDR is only for Serious Trauma, PTSD, abuse, etc., but the truth is that there are many, many uses. I recommend highly someone seek a professional for help if needed for things they are not comfortable with thinking about themselves. I later went ahead and studied and became certified at EMDR, but I am not taking on clients. I prefer to let people try and help themselves on light stuff, and get help if they need it. With that said, I also believe there is a lot of support for Self EMDR (Google books on it..), so I feel safe in sharing. So, I made it free and anonymous for anyone. This will let people check it out without any cost and at their leisure. Here is my channel on the subject of EMDR: kzbin.info/door/gcHLqv-3l4kxdfy3x77zvw

I love Andrew Huberman and now I love you!!

I now have severe PTSD and severe health anxiety, so I think I’m dying on a regular basis. In addition, I have multiple stress related health issues & I am basically home bound and I have fear of being alone. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the same situation. Would it be possible for you to do a podcast on this. And maybe even ask psychiatrist/hypnotherapist, Dr. David Spiegel from Stanford to join your podcast and maybe show us how to use self hypnosis for something like being in benzo withdrawal, even though benzos actually damage the gaba receptors which ultimately cause the extreme anxiety. In other words, it’s a physiological induced anxiety, not psychological. Thank you so much!!

[@luisabatistasamora]

Great episode. And I love Huberman. A great story about your breathing during childbirth, Ms Bialik! I'm from the Netherlands where natural childbirth at home is the norm. When I gave birth to my daughter 30 years ago, there was no mention of pain relief EVER. You can try and prepare for childbirth by taking a "prenatal course". They tell you what to expect, how to breathe (puff puff puff!) when you have a contraction, but nothing really prepared me for the mindblowing reality of the actual event. Somehow, I was able to remain calm and not get overwhelmed by nature taking over, by telling myself that women all over the world do this all the time, that I would have my baby in my arms in another 12 hours or so, and by extending my exhalations. No pain. No puffing. No screaming. Btw: childbirth as shown in most films is total BS. You cannot scream while pushing your baby out.

[@darnitthelma4247]

Well I was mooing like a cow and there was no way anyone was keeping me puff puff puffing😮😮😮😮 each birth is different. My children were tiny which can be harder to birth. Was all natural but yes I was noisy and swore and screamed and cried 😊

Can't do caffeine because of BP so no coffee but I do have a cup of tea while sitting out watching the sunrise. 3 days a week I have an exercise class I go to. Then try to watch the sunset every evening. That's a little harder as my skyline is mostly blocked by houses and trees.

@@jonniebgd1126 do you have to take a nap during the day? I am trying to switch my schedule around since it’s been upside down for two years. I have been a night owl. Now that I’m getting up early in the day I feel very tired in the afternoon, but I’m also trying to do intermittent fasting during the day which I had no problem with when I had the nighttime schedule but now in the daytime, I get so exhausted way too early. Too late for a nap but too early for bed.

@@HH-gv8mx I do tend to feel the need for a nap in the afternoons. I don't think necessarily from following Andrew Hubermans advice but as a result of a combination of factors; stress, menopause, etc. I think if you limit your nap to less than 30 min it won't hurt to take one. Longer makes me groggy and then can't fall asleep at bedtime. After watching this interview I went to his KZbin page and watched his video on Sleep Tool Kit: Tools for optimizing sleeping and waking. It explains all the science behind a good routine and gives all his best tips for sleeping, napping, and feeling energized.

Wowsers! The best yet. My wish is that you choose to collaborate with Dr. Huberman at least one podcast a month. Pretty please! I feel smart just listening in to you smarty pants.

At 1h, that is why it’s so important to workout during the day and not only at the gym, but really going out on the streets and just walking and or running.

First. I love you three. Emdr:. I went to one sided marriage counseling, because he refused to go, to help "live with his behaviors" that disrupted our family life of raising babies, and my therapist used this and it helped. Simple, kinda asked questions like, is it real? Does it have to affect you? Totally at the moment things. But I found it helpful. I really like that you asked if he had a partner. I've followed him for quite some time and wondered. Thanks. 👍 It was good hearing you all interact.

Wow. Quadruple wow. Practically speechless. THIS was amazing!

It's so true about the scrolling. It definitely winds up my autonomic nervous system and I have to stop and get off social media sometimes.

I love this episode ❤️ I have been a mouth-breather for years, and now I am undoing my bad habits. This purposeful breathing will help my stress levels 😊
