Huberman Lab

Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast

Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast. I am Dr. Andrew Huberman. My plan in creating this podcast is to discuss neuroscience: how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body controls our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. I will also discuss tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works. Upcoming episodes will cover: sleep and how to get better at sleeping, learning, dreaming, as well as motivation and focus and how to access more focus. We will also cover neuroplasticity, fear, and stress. Along the way, I will discuss behavioral tools ("do's and don'ts"), and the role of nutrition, exercise, supplements, prescription drugs and electronic devices for measuring and changing the way our nervous systems work. To suggest additional topics, please enter them in the comment section below. Also, be sure to "like" any comments suggesting topics you're interested in. I will shape the content of future podcasts accordingly. Thank you for your interest in science! -Andrew Social & Website Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hubermanlab Threads: https://www.threads.net/@hubermanlab X: https://twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-huberman Website: https://www.hubermanlab.com Newsletter: https://www.hubermanlab.com/newsletter

5. 5
   2:56 – 3:30

   Defining ‘Tools’ for Enhancing Brain and Body Function

   Huberman clarifies what he means by tools, outlining various categories from behaviors to advanced technologies. He stresses that the show will cover both benefits and drawbacks of each type, with examples like sleep, focus, learning, and plasticity.

6. 6
   3:30 – 4:22

   Audience Shaping the Podcast and Costello’s Cameo
