How Our Hormones Control Our Hunger, Eating & Satiety
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 05. 2024
- This episode I discuss how hormones from our gut, liver, pancreas and brain control our appetite-- and the specific tools we can use to adjust those hormones in order to achieve specific goals. I explain the brain areas that control our desire to eat, and our desire to stop eating. I discuss a hormone we all can make that is regulated by UV-rays from sunlight that reduces our appetite. I also explain that when we eat controls our appetite and not the other way around (and how to leverage that fact). I describe how we are basically always eating until we reach a threshold level of fatty acids and amino acids in our gut and the factors that can alter that signaling and make us eat far more than we need. I also explain how insulin, glucose and glucagon work, why cholesterol is so key for ovary, adrenal, liver and testes function and how the ketogenic diet impacts glucose and thyroid levels. As always, I describe many tools: specific supplements, prescription compounds, specific types (and timing) of exercise to regulate hormones, specific timing and types of eating, ways to reduce sugar cravings by triggering the release of the hormone CCK, and more.
Note: A future episode will cover Thyroid hormone. Also, I misspoke when explaining POMC neurons. I said “P-M-O-C” but should have said “POMC”. Apologies. The name I gave for what POMC is, however, was correct: "proopiomelanocortin".

I'm hooked on you Huberman, I have managed to lose 24 pound's by your teachings in about 4 months. I'm 74 years old and feel like 50. I sleep good, I eat healthy, and do my walking with vigor in my step! I'm so amazed that I, though not or ever was remotely introduced to science, understand the concept of science. I can't thank you enough. My kids are wondering what happened to their mother who was close to losing her independence, and now walks every day and lives independent in every way. I feel I have many years left, God willing and intend to stick with you,
You've given me, and as I read all the comments a lot of others a new look on life. I know the students you teach will not miss out on anything. I can't thank you enough, you made a difference in my life.
this is incredibly inspiring, thank you
It is great to see someone make a change in their life for the better. Of course, he's not actually offering medical advice on this channel - just reviewing the science as it currently stands and as he interprets it.
That's great to hear.
What changes did you do?❤
Congratulations, Maggie, that’s wonderful!
I am 65, been following Andrew for several months, I’m down 18 lbs., and looking forward to the next chapter of my life, too!
Best wishes to you on your journey! 🤗
Congrats Maggie ! So happy for you. I am 67 YO and yes this information helped me change my behavior too!
Not to sound dramatic, but stumbling upon your work has been powerfully transformative. In the short time I've been watching this podcast I've dramatically improved my sleep, revved up my ability to focus, tamed my stress levels and I'm no longer at the mercy of unwanted fatigue. You've also helped infuse me with a voracious appetite to learn - not only about neuroscience, but everything.
Just devoured The Molecule of More, Deep Work, nearly finished How Emotions are Made (highly recommend these to anyone reading this btw), and HUNGRIER than ever to educate myself and acquire new skills utilizing strategies to maximize neuroplasticity you've pointed to here. So yea, thanks a TON, the work you're doing here is really making positive waves.
Thank you! That is very gratifying to hear. Keep me posted as you deem right for you. But always great to learn of people's experiences with the information and tools. Best, Andrew
@@hubermanlab Will do so. Cheers and likewise all the best
I second this.
I second this!
I've always been ravenous for knowledge. The Molecule of More explained why. It was an embarrassingly accurate portrait of myself. It's always been very much a double-edged sword. I didn't live in the same place for more than two or three years since I left for college, always wanted more knowledge, more adventures, more experiences, more flings... More booze and other substances... Never stayed put long enough to have stable relationships or career... I'm about to turn 40, finally getting my life on track, and with the help Huberman's advice (combined with my love for all forms of movement and physical training), I think I'm now mentally and physically healthier than I ever have been. Some people think I'm in my 20s. Pretty sure I'm fitter than I was in my 20s. So apparently I got away with my youthful stupidity, and with Huberman's help, I'll have a well-functioning body and brain for a long time to come.
Take care of yourselves, everyone. You only get one body/brain, and what happens to it by default if you live a typical modern lifestyle is not pretty. But it's not necessary or inevitable either.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
06:10 🧠 Hunger and satiety are controlled by hormones in collaboration with the nervous system.
07:06 🧠 The hypothalamus, especially the ventromedial hypothalamus, plays a crucial role in neural control over feeding and hunger.
09:02 👅 The insular cortex, related to touch receptors in the mouth, influences the enjoyment, avoidance, and satisfaction of eating.
11:29 🐭 Parabiosis experiments reveal the influence of hormones in blood exchange on appetite regulation.
13:24 ⚙️ The arcuate nucleus in the brain contains PMOC neurons releasing MSH (Alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone) to reduce appetite and AgRP neurons to stimulate eating.
17:48 ☀️ Ultraviolet light to the eyes activates MSH, helping control appetite, highlighting the importance of light exposure for appetite regulation.
20:42 🍽️ Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) reduces appetite and is used as an underground dieting substance with tan-inducing and purported libido-boosting effects.
22:40 ⏰ Ghrelin, released from the GI tract, activates hunger by stimulating brain neurons and creating food anticipatory signals, influenced by reduced glucose levels in the blood.
26:06 🍽️ Ghrelin secretion varies, influencing hunger patterns; manipulating meal timing can be achieved with neuroplasticity, allowing for more social flexibility and benefits in health and well-being.
28:00 🕰️ Shifting from regular to intermittent fasting requires adjusting ghrelin secretion gradually, helping the body adapt to longer intervals between meals.
33:14 🚫 Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a hormone that suppresses hunger; stimulated by omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, and amino acids, it regulates appetite and prevents overconsumption.
36:35 🧊 Omega-3 fatty acids and CLA from supplements or certain foods stimulate CCK release, keeping appetite at a healthy level and preventing excessive eating.
37:35 🍖 Glutamine, an essential amino acid, potently triggers CCK release, helping regulate appetite and reduce overeating when ingested at proper levels.
42:02 🍽️ Glutamine, omega-3s, and CLAs are crucial for ensuring the CCK signal, responsible for satiety, gets through. However, be cautious as glutamine alone can slightly increase blood sugar levels, especially important for diabetics.
44:28 🚫 Highly processed foods, containing emulsifiers, can damage the gut lining, disrupt hormone signaling, and lead to overeating. Emulsifiers limit the gut's ability to detect nutrients, affecting satiety signals.
48:54 📉 Highly processed foods contribute to overeating, as shown in a study. They not only affect weight gain but also disrupt hormonal and neural systems controlling hunger, contributing to health issues observed globally.
53:03 🔄 Insulin plays a crucial role in managing glucose levels, essential for preventing damage to neurons. The body needs to balance insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar effectively.
56:37 🍚 The order in which you consume macronutrients affects blood glucose levels. Consuming fibrous foods before carbohydrates can moderate the increase in glucose, promoting a more steady rise and earlier satiety.
01:02:34 🏃 Movement before eating can help regulate blood glucose levels. Exercise, even a walk, before meals can dampen blood glucose spikes and aid in glucose modulation, especially beneficial for those struggling with blood sugar regulation.
01:04:05 🚶 Regular exercise, especially after meals, can benefit blood glucose regulation.
01:05:04 🍔 Food order, combining macronutrients, and recent physical activity affect blood glucose levels and appetite.
01:06:32 🔄 Blood sugar stability can be influenced by various factors, including exercise, with zone two cardio being beneficial.
01:08:59 🏋️♂️ High-intensity interval training and resistance training contribute to glycogen repackaging and increased basal metabolic rate.
01:10:54 🍔 Managing LDL and HDL ratios is crucial for transporting fats to tissues, supporting hormone production, and preventing adverse health effects.
01:13:49 💊 Metformin, a prescription drug, and berberine, a non-prescription compound, impact blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity.
01:18:44 🌿 Berberine, found in plants and tree bark, mimics Metformin's effects, including lowering blood glucose, cholesterol, and impacting insulin levels.
01:20:41 💊 Various supplements like chromium, L-carnitine, Panax ginseng, and magnesium can have minor effects on blood glucose levels.
01:23:35 🍵 Stevia, an artificial sweetener, slightly lowers blood glucose; however, the sweet taste itself can stimulate appetite.
01:24:32 💊 Vitamin B3 stimulates appetite by triggering increases in blood glucose, while zinc seems to lower blood glucose.
01:25:31 🍋 Ingesting foods claiming to make you alkaline has no evidence; acidic foods can slightly affect gut pH and alter food absorption, affecting blood glucose.
01:25:59 🌶️ Consuming small amounts of lemon or lime juice can blunt hyperglycemic effects when feeling over-sugared; capsaicin in chili peppers also lowers blood glucose.
01:26:53 🔄 Ketogenic diet, low in insulin-spiking foods, notably decreases blood glucose; its impact on thyroid hormone levels affecting carb metabolism will be explored in a future episode.
01:31:41 ☕ Mate (Yerba Mate) increases glucagon-like peptide (GLP1) and leptin levels, acting as an appetite suppressant and aiding blood sugar regulation; it contains electrolytes and caffeine.
01:35:53 🦠 Huberman covers various hormones like ghrelin, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, and cholecystokinin, providing actionable tools for appetite regulation; future episodes will delve into thyroid hormones and hormone interplays.

This channel feels like university level lectures/education. And it’s all free. Thank you so much for sharing your fascinating knowledge
Yeah and unlike many teachers at schools he is able too make it interesting and entertaining. So many teachers growing up i remember where monotone and had zero charisma which made learning so difficult.
Yeah, but the sad thing is that in university they're not as interested in making knowledge that comprehensible.
😊😅😊😅😊😅😊😊😊😊😊

I am a medical doctor but I am amazed by the amount of genuine information you have shared. Great job
And he is so knowledgeable about so many areas of health !!!! Incredible !!
It's now a year later, 75 almost 76 years old! that I posted how much I appreciate you Andrew Huberman. You have changed my life and I'm so grateful to you. I'm now down 40 pounds and feel like 50 years old or maybe even less LOL! the only thing I have changed is take your advice and listened to your recommendations on other podcast. Due to the changes I implemented I have a new outlook on life. My fasting time starts at around 7.30 pm until the next day 11am . I drink a lot of lemon water and other liquids. I retain more in my awesome brain and walk as much as I can and exercise a lot. A good beat music motivates me to no end! Some physical Challenges have happened and life is a work in progress at every level. If do feel that I have to go back and get re-charged by listening on a regular basis to motivate myself then you Andrew are my go-to person. God bless you, and thank you.
ur amazing keep it up.
Can't wait to see your comment next year 🎉
70 yrs old female here. 27 Lbs down in 4 months after binging on Dr. Huberman's videos. which contain a wealth of knowledge. Life circumstances /bad stuff hit me like a brick wall and the last 8 years I did a lot of lawyering, stuck behind a desk 24/7 with hardly anytime even to brush my teeth. I won 32 lawsuits including one at the court of appeals where I represented myself and wrote a 900-page brief in 7 months. All these years I did not take care of myself. Circadian rythm? Forget it! Food: snacking behind a desk; healthy snacking (nuts! lots of nuts!) and not so healthy (chocolate), no exercise, no vitamins, no sunlight, You get the picture: result: I gained 68 pounds! Once I decided to take a break from lawyering (no statute of limitations; maybe resume later) and pay attention to my health because I realized that I was out of breath just going up aflight of stairs, could no longer clasp my hands behind my back, difficulty cutting my toe nails or wipping my ass, clasping my bra behind my back, shoulder pain when raising my hand to comb my hair... just a terrible state of affairs. I had done keto before when Dr. Atkins diet was in vogue and it had worked at the beginning (water loss) but I really did not count calories (as he recommended) , did not exercise and I know know that although I was in ketosis, I was most likely burning dietary fat
5 months ago I decided to fight for my life: i understood that I was insulin resistant and most likely borderline diabetic. I read about nutrition day and night, watched videos day and night and knowing myself, I concluded that I was a carb addict and maybe even a food addict. I started walking. I suffered dragging myself to walk 10-15 min/day. My first 1 mile walk was a big victory day! Today I walk 6 to seven miles a day with my 99% ruptured Achille's tendon! Actually, I started HITT running 30 seconds walking 20seconds! No more cravings, resistance training, sauna, light therapy, 100 supplements, back to size 8-10 from 14-16. I was so fat that my own shoes would no fit me anymore! In bed at 8:30 up at 4-5:AM living life to the fullest. I owe thanks to all these generous youtubers debunking the SAD diet from Dr. Huberman, Dr Jamnadas Pradip, Dr. Fung, Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Boz, Dr. Mandela, Dr. Mindy Pelz, Dr. Gundry, Dr. Attia, Dr. Ken Berry,Ms. Charlene johnson, Ms.Melissa Neil, Dr. Berg, Dr. Asprey, Dr. Sinclair, Dr. Westman and many more...too many to name but they know who they are. Forever grateful to all as well as to their interviewers. Thank you all!
@usadaily135 well-done to you I listen to every single dr you mentioned lol god bless!
Wow, you definitely give me inspiration I just turned 75 last October I’m diabetic type two so I’m not real hep on this fasting business but I will give it a try maybe just shorter time frames thank you for posting this like I said you give me hope!
I am a obesity medicine nurse practitioner. Phenomenal explanation on this subject! I will definitely share this with my colleagues. I am excited to listen to other episodes. Thank you!

My body performs best when I wake up late evening, drink coffee and do a hiitt training workout or long distance run. I am able to do this while fasting typically 16 hours and then I’m ready to eat around 630 to 8 AM. I will have my. “Dinner” when most people are getting up to start their day and have their breakfast. I eat very healthy, asparagus, fish, or egg whites, lots of salads and roughage and then I try and go to bed by noon. I have done this for YEARS. Unfortunately the rest of the world doesn’t operate like this so in the past two months, I’ve tried to change my schedule completely. And I have managed to put on 10 pounds. And my menstrual cycle came back not happy about either of these two things more so the weight gain and the hormonal changes that I don’t like. And I’m constantly hungry and if I try and intermittent fast all day long, I cannot get a workout in. I’m far too tired. It’s so frustrating because I want to be on a normal schedule like the rest of the world without being tired and hungry all day long or putting on an enormous amount of weight.
You are a very dedicated nurse taking it upon yourself to seek out stuff such as this.
@@HH-gv8mx Ive been trying to get my period back 😥
I asked my doc For years. Since 2017 to help me understand my sugar addiction. I go nothing. Eat healthy and walk he said. I love that you explain why I’m addicted which tells me how to make changes. Tonight after dinner my husband and I rode bikes. Move! I am listening to this cast again. I am so grateful to know the whys. Thank you for the education. ❤️
considering to change your doc too
change doc too
You did this also because you see dr Huberman as an authority and more worthy of your respect, while you don't see your dr the same way.
In the end is all about discipline: eating healthy, avoiding snacks and moving your body. It's not about some motivation you got from a video that will last maximum a few weeks.
Who's here every week?? 😍😍 Hey Fam ❤
Morning! Me lol
I'm very behind, but I'll get there. Peace✌️

I've just realized that whenever I'm struggling with something I come to Andrew Huberman's podcast and find some guidance. This is gold.
I am a Christian and I value self control, a fruit of the Spirit. Your content is helping me to take even more deliberate steps to strengthen self-control. Thank you for your service and for sharing your insights. It is life 🧬 changing.
(Reference: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23).
I'll try to pursue my master of science/whatever related degree, because of this gentleman right here
thank you for changing my life
I will pursue my PHD in my field because of Dr. Andrew Huberman.
He is very inspiring
As a scientist, that is among the most gratifying of feedback I could receive. I’ll be delighted to hold a zero cost seminar on navigating a career in science and record it and post it to CZcams for anyone who is interested. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions about paths through the careers of science and science education. I’m excited for you. Science is challenging but oh so rewarding, and full of surprises. There’s nothing quite like it. Best wishes, Andrew
@@hubermanlabThank you Professor! There will be many people who would benefit from such a topic too!
@@hubermanlab please do, Master Sensei.
At this rate majority of us are going develop the grandmother cell “Andrew Huberman neuron”
Granpa' Huberman 👌
I'll make a note in my calendar whenever Monday comes around.
Every podcast really helpful. Lost 14 pounds since listening and registering. Apple Cider drinks 2X every day for a year with lemon 🍋 reset my sugar taste. Surprising and unexpected. Now I can walk through a bakery store, donut shop not even tempted because everything seems too doggone sickening sweet. Slightly bitter Chocolate still looks good but not overwhelming. Ghirardelli has dark with a bitter chocolate.
My heartfelt gratitude for changing my bad eating habits and some others with your message.
Thank you so much for taking the tremendous amount of time and effort you do to make this information free. You are required listening daily in our homeschool.
i'd love to see you discuss the harmful effects that microplastics, phthalates, and phytoestrogens are having on our hormones and our health. in my opinion this is the biggest crisis facing the world right now and almost no one is aware. thanks for the great work
Love the fact that when you say something is exiting you actually look excited 🦉🧡
I confess I love science. And Costello. (he is reading these too, after all).
@@hubermanlab reading and then processing them in his dreams.
I sometimes suspect my fridge or some distant airplane of the noises but then realise it's his snoring. And that's fine 🐶
His enthusiasm is contagious!!!😁👍🏽
Powerful episode. Really helps me make the connection between processed foods and constant hunger and the drive to eat/overeat and how it damages the communication between the body and the brain. I am sure this has a pretty profound effect on individuals who struggle with compulsive eating behaviors. And, understanding the connection between HDL and manufacturing of estrogen -- yep, that was helpful AF! Thank you, Dr. Huberman for the wealth of information you provide that allows me to make transformative adjustments to my lifestyle -- and, I deeply appreciate that you speak to us like we are intelligent human beings. I tell EVERYONE I know about your podcast -- their loss if they don't get on and get the info. Again, amazing information that makes a big difference in my life.
Just found your channel and I have been binge watching these videos! I’m overweight and have been eating processed foods a lot over the years and I overeat like crazy and never feel full unless I feel sick or get tired. I had no idea the processed foods were messing with my stomach in a way to keep my stomach from sending the signal to my brain that I’m full. Thank you for bringing this information for free to regular people!
I’m listening as I get my fifteen minutes of morning sun.
I'm ready to take my relationship with huberman to the next level. Is there a hubercult or should I just patreon?
👍🏽 I’m in!!
🤣
Count me in I’m absolutely obsessed 😍
I want him to adopt me. I’m 25.
I'll bring the purple robes!
You’ve inspired me to make a huge change in my life man, I’m going to turn my life around. This science of our bodies is so interesting and beautiful, there’s no reason to waste myself away with bad substances. I appreciate it!
I'm so grateful for Andrew's podcasts, he is the very best teacher bar none. His explanations are so helpful, the fact that he spells out the names of the people he references is so respectful. My overall health & wellbeing is improving because of his shared knowledge. He has my love & admiration.
This is by far the most interesting podcast I’ve ever listened to, delivered by a lovely voice. I recommend it to my OET students because of the clear diction.
I have got my uncle and brother listening to the podcast as religiously as I do. And I've bought both inside tracker and athletic greens with your codes. Hope that helps. The value of the podcast is well worth it
Thank you so much Andrew Huberman - you continue to inspire me for better health outcomes, for myself, my loved ones & my clients. You are saving the world one knowledge-packed recording at a time. Grateful
I am a Operating Room RN. I have worked in post operative pain management in a 23 hour surgery center for 7+ years now. I also have a huge interest in weight management. I watch an appreciate all of your videos! Your knowledge is incredible! I work daily with a very knowledge and very skilled Physician. He is skilled well beyond his peers. I feel you are in that same category. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge!
I love your podcast! The most revelatory thing today was how highly processed foods, esp. emulsifiers, blunt the release of CCK and therefore encourage continued ingestion of the hyper-processed food. Genius!
I think I probably say this every week, but I absolutely love this man and his content. It's superb ❤✌🇬🇧
Me too !
@@erikactba8255 me too :)
Ditto
Cheers!! Yes and agreed
I’m addicted to this learning format.
I discovered you yesterday and this is the first Podcast of yours I've listen to. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and someone who has a special interest in the obesity crisis, the information you provide is astounding. I'm excited to summarize this information to my patients and more excited to continue to learn from you!
Thank you for what you do! I love your podcasts! I can rarely sit through an entire lecture without getting distracted, but I just listened to three of your episodes in a row ;) Would never believe that someone could get me excited about biology... Your passion for science is contagious!
Pure Happiness when this channel drops another podcast
I LOVE that you always provide timestamps, so handy! My favourite podcast this year.
Great work as always. I listen to your podcasts, new and old, while I walk 30 minutes after my meal while I learnt from you. You're making a real actionable impact in people's lives. Thank-you, Sir.
The morning sunshine is a surreal thing. I used to meditate and sit in the garden every morning as soon as I wake up, and I felt energetic, happy and highly motivated throughout the spring and summer! Then winter kicked in and although I used to go outside lot's for walks, I mainly did it in the evenings. Living in northern Europe, my exposure to sun of course hit dramatically and I was actually suffering quite badly. This podcast has taught me - amongst many other things - to take ligh exposure more seriously towards the darker seasons of the year. Thank you !
100 percent! Feel like it effects females more noticeably than males.
I needed this information, my sugar level spikes as I rely on feelings and eat more. Bought Libre 2 to recalibrate my brain. Finished lunchtime walk, going to do 10 minutes Yoga Nidra to reset my brain before starting work in the afternoon. Thank you Doc, you are amazing🙏🙏
I've known of this Man for maybe 10 days, and he's changed my life. Thank you so much Andrew, the information you provide has been incredibly valuable. You've genuinely become one of my top idols within the short time since finding you.
it's been over 6 month now. Do you remember anything from you "top idol"? How things are going? Or sudden burst of motivation after watching 2 hour videos already ended?
@@user-be8od8ms9e Why is there a nasty undertone in your comment? Haha of course I remembered this video - I take notes from each of his videos that I find useful.
@@tomhannaford7824 Well, message like "Wow changed life in X days you are my idol" is common in self-help community and most of the time means short-term motivational burst, that lead to false sensation of change and improvement, when in reality you changed one guru for another and when you introduce smth new your dopamine skyrockets .
I just starting exploring channel and found it to be good source of knowledge on the topic, but not much practical foothold, so this 10 days claim sorta triggered me, sorry.
Maybe you could share, how you use this information to your benefit? In 6 month, did it really changed something for you?
I've lost count of how many of Dr. Huberman's videos I've watched. Like the others here, I'm hooked and look forward to more videos. Thanks, Dr. Andrew and kudos to your team for the wonderful things that you do!
Thank you, Andrew. I have been consuming your videos regularly for several months now. Your content is uniquely and profoundly valuable. I can not overstate my appreciation.
I am 75 years young. I am my High School body weight & by supplementing with creatine & collagen I have achieved a biological age of about 55. Your enlightening podcast have optimized my health span & that is invaluable. 1000 Thanks. Part of my experience is due to 8,000 hours of Vipassana. Please consider doing a podcast on meditation. This will improve your followers life experience. Stay Well.
Another eargasm, brought to us by Dr. Huberman! Brilliant talk, full of amazing facts! Thank you!
Andrew, The power of your words is exponential. For example, Understanding how glucose interacts with neurons has been so powerful in helping my own patients kill sugar (and eating) addiction.. Dispelling that "idea" of being hypoglycemia (therefore I have to eat!) and understanding that it is an activation of the AdRP neurons.. changes the game. You help people see that the "feeling" of hunger can be a positive and the body (and mind) can be trained to welcome those benefits. THANK YOU.
This man is so well articulate and good at explaining complex topics in laymen terms. Thank you for sharing your fascinating knowledge with us!
I see Huberman Lab notifications I click!
This came up right as I was considering what I had to do to get my blood sugar levels to be lower and more stable. What perfect timing, and really inspiring content. I love that this is presented in a way that is applicable, but also allows for a deep understanding of the material. Listening to these podcasts is really making me want to go back to school. Thank you so much for these episodes!
Thank you for your information, I struggle a lot with the sugar cravings and its still a battle for me every day.
I am hooked on your lectures, in fact there are some I have to go back and listen to again, like this one to try and absorb all the content. Thank you for making this available to all of us who are in a quest to not only learn for ourselves, but to have a better understanding how everything is so interconnected, especially when it comes to the brain.
Even as a veterinary student some of these podcasts are very relevant to understanding pathology and treatment plans! Thank you 🙏 ☺️
We are going to have a pet health month. I get Costello morning sunlight, he is on Omega-3s and it really helped him-- says his blood work and sleep.
That’s amazing and I look forward to it, I wouldn’t expect any less from you! We will see how compliant my clients will be 🤞
@AndrewHuberman would love to know if taking MSH could help with vitiligo. Mine has spread over the years and while the cosmetic issue is one thing what is even worse for me as someone who loves to be outdoors is how quickly and easily the white spots get sun burned. I have been following your work for some time now. I am so pleased to see your audience growing on all your platforms. So grateful that you are sharing your knowledge this way. We need more beautiful humans like you! Thank you! ❤
Thank you.
So, I wished to experience an audiobook authored by you after first hearing the great sense you were speaking at joe rogans podcast.
Now, this is even greater. Apart from this fantastic ressource being free, this podcast just has the open feel to it. You can present the information you want, how you want without having to set every word in stone. Not implying a book wouldn't give a certain freedom in expression, just that a podcast is more like a conversation.
And wow, is it a privilege to listen to you.
This is genuinly the best podcast I could have ever wished for existing. This is like a modern Aristoteles(Who isn't wrong because he has science to grow with, instead of heavenly Plato to learn from) sitting down and speaking to those interested in bettering their lifes.
I’ll be honest and say, many things you mentioned and terms used were completely over my head😢. Ironically I was intrigued by your talk and could not stop listening. I definitely understood some things and have learned so so much. I appreciate you! Here’s to my health and the journey begins…💪🏽❤️
I find these videos by Andrew infectious and intriguing. I teach for living but the way Andrew explains things for people at every level regardless of knowledge and background is incredible. This technique I find inspiring and will try to take into my classroom. Also, the subject matter is very interesting. Thank you!!
Probably the best one so far. The most useful for my everyday life, fitness, health and overall well being. LOVED this episode!
Easily the best science podcast on the web right now
As someone who has battled my weight my whole life I think this is one of the best videos you have done which is saying something considering how interesting I found the Dopamine videos.
I just subscribed after listening to 4 podcasts. What I love the most about your channel is that you are a real person.. comments like “I love donuts” and “I love to eat” I can relate to 😁. Thank you for all the wonderful information you put out there for us laymen to help us become healthy.
I immediately searched fro Dr. Robert Lustig and saved a lot of his lectures. I listened to one already titled, SUGAR, - The elephant in the kitchen. He is another genius! Thank you so much Dr. Andrew! You make Mondays a lot better!
Thank You so much for another awesome episode! Your knowledge generosity is unbelievable. We need more people like you in the world!
I’ve been binging for about 2 weeks. You have already changed my mind, in route to changing my health. My son went to Stanford and mentioned he used to see you at the gym. We are connected!!!
Thank you Dr. Huberman for yet another elaborate review of a question that's been lingering in my head for a while. I normally track my calories every day and eat about 45% carbs but I plan to adjust my ratios a bit to more fats because I've noticed that I just never really feel full. I'm also going to adjust the order in which I eat my foods as well to feel a bit more satiated. Thanks again!!
Perfect timing as it is currently Ramadan and we are currently fasting from sunrise to sunset
Can't wait for the thyroid episode. I am tired all the time even though my doctor says that my blood sugar levels are normal. I get decent sleep and exercise regularly.
That episode is now out. Let me know if any questions arise.
This man has such a way of compiling data and relaying it in a fascinating hang on the edge of your seat way. I could listen all day. Have gained so much knowledge!
I''ve been Huberman Podacast addict for the past 2 weeks . My sleep improved dramatically after the dawn light fix implemented from day1 after exposure to My First Huberman Podcast. I feel human again. I'm starting to feel whole again. I want live longer. Daily I'm making these incremental changes. I'm keeping this addiction. I've struggled with PTSD and its bitter fruit, for most of my life. I'm 50 now and feel like aiming for another 50. With deepest gratitude to Prof Andrew Hubeman- you are an exceptional humanitarian.
🌈
I wanna hug and thank this man for his contribution to society! love listening to him talk about everything I'm interested in.
let me join the hug then. this guy saved my life
@@sonox8724 oh!? 😀 that's awesome! How? In what way? 💕
@@bakekay21 saving me from the REAL pandemic. we‘re losing great men
Love these podcasts, I introduced you to my family and they are even more obsessed. Thank you sir
Honestly watching these videos and informing myself more about how our bodies function helpes me so much with my BED. Amazing and thank you so much for your effort!
PS. I want to add that it’s very empowering to learn more detail about how our bodies work and the neurological impacts of activities, interventions, daily practices, and foods plus supplements alter our biology. It’s encouraging to realize here - thanks to you - that we can make tangible changes and alter the trajectory of our overall physical and mental health by adding or subtracting certain behaviors, changing circumstances, and rewiring how we operate so as to improve our lives/health. Knowledge is power so, thanks again for being here with us in such a generous way. You’re a gem and you’ve delivered many treasures since you’ve started this channel. 💪❤️🙏🤌👏💎
I can't thank you enough for this podcast. I've implemented so many simple changes to my daily life that have increased my quality of life dramatically
Same. I've only started a few changes recently, but the effect is astounding. Maybe because I know what to look for, but I'm so grateful for this podcast!
Awesome work Andrew!! One of the most useful podcasts I have come across!! Our society as a whole is lacking deeply all of the information you are making easy to access! Top work
I have never watched this type of lengthy podcast and glued to it right to the end.the information is massive and very useful.thank u so much.
Hello, I cant thank you enough for all the valuable FREE information you have shared to me. You saved my life in so many ways in regards with explaining and sharing tools on how to cope with certain bad habits and how to manage physical and overall well being especially my mental health. I am a 33 years old who suffers from chronic fatigue, possible reactivation of EBV virus might be the cause, no focus, low dopamine, overweight and I no longer have a thyroid since I had a thyroidectomy done in 2013 at only 23 years old. After I finally found a Dr who listened to me, I slowly got motivated to fight for my health for my kids. They are the ones who gets affected the most. After listening to your podcasts, I am so full of hope and 31 lbs lighter, I am now at 136 lbs with much health and energy just following your advice on staying on the sun in the morning and move or exercise , cant believe it was that simple. My depression is manageable and I am less moody and irritable. Thank you for giving me my life. I got so excited when I heard you say you are going to explain thyroid next, I hope you include people like me who doesn’t have any thyroid but relies on a synthetic hormone pill each morning. I feel like there isn’t so much studies or available help for people like us. Thank u and God bless you more than you deserve!! My hero!! ❤
I appreciate the work you put into these podcasts, I’m learning so much & it’s life enhancing! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you Dr.Huberman. The information that you are offering on this platform is amazing. 💪🏼🔥👍🏻
Thank you! I’ve been referring back to the notes I take while listening to your podcast at the dinner table with my kids. Very impactful. We are all learning so much. Finally! Nutrition made clear with legitimate backing. I tell them we shouldn’t eat anything out of a bag (except nuts) and now I can explain exactly why.
I cannot just listen to Huberman's podcast! It is a true lesson so I grab a notebook, a pen and a cup of coffee and I try to take notes while listening. Thank you for all the super valuable information you provide episode after episode!
I am so thankful for your teachings Andrew. I am also thankful I have watched every episode from the beginning. This podcast is inspiring. Thank you Andrew and Costello 😉
Empowering people to direct their OWN HEALTH....love love love it! Been teaching this way for 20 years in fitness and wellness and you make it SO MUCH EASIER. We always said that 'it's not calories in and calories out but digestion -> assimilation -> elimination' But it is so wonderful to see the studies that back up some of the knowledge of old with the clinical and peer reviewed studies that were just more anecdotal 20 years ago...it gives us all hope who have sort of struggled in the background for so long and been looked at like we were nuts and not based in anything. Keep it up for all of us!! Big head pats to Costello too! :)
My body performs best when I wake up late evening, drink coffee and do a hiitt training workout or long distance run. I am able to do this while fasting typically 16 hours and then I’m ready to eat around 630 to 8 AM. I will have my. “Dinner” when most people are getting up to start their day and have their breakfast. I eat very healthy, asparagus, fish, or egg whites, lots of salads and roughage and then I try and go to bed by noon. I have done this for YEARS. Unfortunately the rest of the world doesn’t operate like this so in the past two months, I’ve tried to change my schedule completely. And I have managed to put on 10 pounds. And my menstrual cycle came back not happy about either of these two things more so the weight gain and the hormonal changes that I don’t like. And I’m constantly hungry and if I try and intermittent fast all day long, I cannot get a workout in. I’m far too tired.
Thank you Andrew, for all the great info. You make it so accessible for us non-scientists😊
Another amazing episode. Crazy how Dr. Huberman has the ability to explain all things with clarity and simplicity in such a way thats interesting and not overwhelming..such helpful info!
I look forward to these every week. I learn from every episode. Much appreciated
just discovered Huberman and omg it is awesome! Will be here, will listen to every single second this man speaks ^-^
Andrew, thank you for your service, time and dedication! I’m a scientist myself and I enjoy your podcast tremendously. You’ve also helped me, my family and many others with whom I happily share your work. In fact I just shared your podcast on depression with a friend who met me an hour ago and admitted that he suffers depression. I’ve probably shared the most the episode about the sleep. Half of my Cross Fit class got to know you this way :) They come for 5.30am class and many complained of terrible sleep. Everyone is so grateful for you! I’ve just felt a great amount gratitude and may actually use it in my gratitude practice:) Thank you for your service! If you are ever in Boston, please let me know. I would love to take you for dinner or beers.
I love your podcasts! I started to listen to you in early October, and I'm proud to say that on Christmas day, I will be 2 months cigarette free. You helped make me a non-smoker. I'm in my 50's and have smoked since I was a teenager, I can't believe how good I feel! Thank you!
Looking forward to your Keto podcast!
The new mood: Huberman monday on! Thank you for sharing science!
This episode was AMAZING and I am now fully addicted to your podcast. Thank you for bringing such complex information in a way some of us non-science folk can digest. Please know how much your (and your team) are appreciated.
Truly appreciate your genuine and constant educational info!! Been life changing for me in so many ways:)
Beyond grateful that you choose to share all this extremely valuable information. Thank you.
Can we get a podcast about the hormones during pregnancy, the psychology of pregnancy, and the effects of childbirth on neural and hormone health? Love this podcast😊
Yes, and expert guest; thank you!
Yes, like mom brain too. Do we ever get it back?
Still waiting for an episode like this, unless I missed it. As someone who enjoyed excellent health before pregnancy and is now trying to recover my relationship to sleep, memory etc I want to echo the interest in this topic.
An episode on different types of fasting would be very interesting. I feel kind of drive towards dry fasts. I do it every Monday since 3 months and I'm thinking about a prolonged one
You are an amazing teacher. Even though much of what you say about the chemistry goes over my head, I find I get the main idea and can do further reading to gain more understanding.
Thanks, Dr H! As a student studying to become a nutritionist and help people understand the impact of food and it's content on, well, everything, this is extremely valuable information. You break it down and simplify the information to be very palatable for the lay audience. Grateful for you.
will you be covering hormones and the difference in men and women since they change during cycle and in peri and menopause? It would super helpful. Very grateful for these weekly brain foods :) thank you for all the work you do!!! 🙏🏻🙂
best podcast in the world
Much love from Greece, let me know if you want Greek captions :)
OMG, great idea, I would love to caption all of it in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian!
Added Yerba Mata to my morning routine and I love it! Thank you for the solid recommendations, as always Mr. Huberman! 😊
Coming across your podcast has been life-changing. I can point to the very day I started listening to you in terms of how much of a difference I see in my life. I particularly enjoy the format of your podcasts. It makes for an easy listen with suggested courses of action.
What I would enjoy as a potential topic would be a dedicated episode or series of episodes for the elderly, addressing the common problems (e.g., joint problems, hypertension, diabetes, etc.). I understand that you have touched upon these through the various episodes, but it would help to have it all consolidated so that it can be shared with people aged 50+. While I relayed the information that I gathered from your podcast to my (aged) loved ones, I realized that (1) hormone imbalance, and (2) drug interactions were key considerations. They have been reaching out to their doctors concerning the same, but I'm not quite sure if (at least some of) the doctors are open to trying life-enhancing supplements out. They are rather keen on going down the traditional route of prescribing medicines only when there is an issue, instead of being pre-emptive.
In any case, sincere gratitude for what you're doing!
P.S.: Your comments (and jokes) about Costello sleeping make you so much more relateable!
Thank you for the great content each week! As for Stevia and gut microbiome; anecdotally I can attest that it absolutely wracked mine. When searching for papers on the topic about a year ago i could not find a single study...
This is the kind of education I would dream up in a utopian vision of the near future that is available to anyone, empowers us to make sound decisions and renders us less helpless in face of the companies that exploit our drives.
I feel a sense of hunger for knowledge that I can only remember feeling similar about when I was a kid playing with legos and toy cars or exploring the woods. Maybe later in practicing parkour with my friends.
It informs me about how I want to raise my own kids one day, keeping that intuition and thirst for exploration alive.
Thank you Dr. Huberman 🙏
You said it perfectly - engaging with these podcasts is definitely reawakening my curious inner child who finds magic in the every day world!
@L L Well spotted. 😅 Perhaps I could call it the ‘pre-utopia’: the second to last rung on the ladder, where rapture happens from the bottom-up, one person at a time, through individual transformation by education, rather than from the top-down by the hands of the all reigning monarch who does away with all evil institutions. 😁
Im new to this podcast but have heard several episodes. Beside his calming voice it’s so informative. The best podcast I’ve heard by now!!!!!!
I have learnt so much from this podcast, I can't thank you enough! I now understand why I'm never satiated, this is changing now 💜🙏💜
