Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris: The Science of Psychedelics for Mental Health | Huberman Lab Podcast
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 05. 2024
- In this episode, my guest is Robin Carhart-Harris, PhD, distinguished professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. He is one of leading researchers in the study of how psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD and DMT can change the human brain and in doing so, be used to successfully treat various mental health challenges such as major depression, anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and addiction. He explains how psilocybin induces sustained changes in adaptive brain wiring and cognition. We discuss the key components of safe and effective psychedelic journeys, the role of hallucinations, the use of eye-masks to encourage people to “go internal,” and music, as well as what effective therapist support consists of before, during and after the session (also known as integration). We discuss micodosing vs. macrodosing and how researchers control for placebo effects in psychedelic research. We also discuss the current legal landscape around psychedelic therapies. Psychedelic therapies are fast emerging as powerful and soon-to-be mainstream treatments for medical health disorders, but they are not without their risks. As such, this episode ought to be of use to anyone interested in brain plasticity, mental health, psychology or neuroscience.

I bet one day in future you will be taking a deep-dive into microdosing😉
could remember several years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Greece. Really need!
Sure, very sure of Dr.Coxshroom. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today

OK park bills. Identical comments. Go away bot.
Please have a discussion with Roland Griffiths, who was really the true pioneer of sparking research on psychedelics and mental health. He has terminal cancer and so there is a limited window to really talk with him and honor what he has done.
I second this! Roland will soon not be with us and I believe he needs to be talked to and recording as many conversations as possible he’s a brilliant beautiful human
This would be a phenomenal tribute and capstone event for such an inspiring soul
Yes! He was a pioneer in getting clinical trials going again.
The moment I saw this comment, my first thought was complete agreement. An interview with Dr. Griffiths would indeed be a capstone conversation in this series of conversations around psychedelics. It sounds, however, as though he’s truly in the last months of his life and is likely happy to leave his work as it lays and let the rest of us continue the conversation that he started a long time ago. The New York Times profiled him in a pretty lengthy article in April that was an interesting read that that also, not too subtly, suggested that he was nearing the end of his life sooner than even recently expected. It sounds as though he’s at peace and finding joy at the end of his life. Sounds pretty damn perfect considering all of us have to go there eventually.
Agreed agreed
Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.
That's great man, I'm Trying to dispose of depression. I’ve been searching, but I can’t find anywhere to source
dr.perryshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
YES,, dr.perryshroom.
Psychedelics should only be used with great care and respect
It would be great to hear in more detail about your mystical experiences during meditation.
hm. Can dr.perryshroom dispatch to me in LA?
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings.
This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again again but it’s just so hard to source out of there.
Yes, bergwilly11_
A lot of people have testified about this and I really want to give it a shot. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
@@mirabelwatson7863Is he on instagram?
I have been diagnosed with this and some social anxiety sprinkled on top.
What a treat.
Psilocybin saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years the be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

I've seen the same personally. I'm one of 2 people I know who have kicked both opiates and suboxone/buprenorphin. My doctor thinks it's due to my diligence in turning my life around and cutting out hanging with addicts. I never told him that I'm pretty sure it also had something to do with taking long walks in the woods at night with my dog on mushrooms/L 3 nights a week for a few years. As well as taking my life seriously and improving my career. Now I'm married and have a great relationship with my wife and a beautiful, healthy son.
A ton of Respect to Dr. Huberman and his team for presenting topics considered "controversial" such as Psychedelics to his rapidly-growing fanbase. This Channel will eventually be a database for all aspects of physical and Mental Health.
Thank you Dr. Huberman, those cold showers will never be easy, but the effects throughout the day will Always be worth it.
Ditto. Especially about the cold showers. And then I remind myself that there’s a part of my brain that only grows when I do things I don’t wanna do and I turn the handle to cold. Lol I love it here.
My Takeaways: *"Dr. Huberman, your immense inspiration, unwavering discipline, and excellence deeply impact and inspire me. Thank you!"
Psilocybin can alleviate major depression in over 67% of people:
- Psychedelics have the potential to treat psychiatric conditions more effectively than standard treatments.
- Participate in well-designed clinical trials to evaluate psychedelic therapies. Ensure treatments are administered safely and ethically.
0:32
Higher psilocybin doses between 10-25 milligrams can induce hallucinations:
- Higher doses are required to produce a full psychedelic experience.
- Do not attempt to self-dose with psychedelics. Leave dosage calibration to trained professionals in clinical settings.
5:52
Studies show a relationship between psychedelic experiences and better outcomes:
- The quality of the psychedelic experience correlates with therapeutic benefits.
- Ensure set (mindset) and setting (environment) are optimized for a positive experience during psychedelic therapy sessions.
10:25
Increased brain connectivity has been observed after psychedelic sessions:
-: Neuroplastic changes may underlie some long-term mental health improvements.
-: Participate in research studies to better understand how psychedelics impact the brain.
23:40
'Integration work' after sessions helps consolidate benefits over time:
-: Ongoing practices can support insights gained during psychedelic experiences.
-: Engage in psychotherapy, journaling, and contemplative practices to integrate psychedelic insights into daily life.
34:50
Psilocybin therapy typically involves two sessions with doses between 10-25 milligrams:
-: Repeated dosing spaced 1-3 weeks apart is commonly used in psychedelic therapy protocols.
-: Participate in well-designed clinical trials using evidence-based psychedelic therapy protocols.
44:55
Ego dissolution refers to the temporary loss of one's sense of self during psychedelic experiences:
-: Psychedelics can alter concepts of self and boundaries.
-: Practice mindfulness and embrace ego-dissolution experiences with courage and openness.
49:55
Studies found increases in brain connectivity, white matter changes after one high dose session:
-: Even a single psychedelic session can produce neuroplastic changes.
-: Participate in rigorous clinical research studies.
1:10:09
DMT produces an extremely intense experience due to its high affinity for serotonin 2A receptors:
-: DMT is a very potent psychedelic compound.
-: Avoid unsupervised use of DMT and other potent psychedelics.
1:20:19
Microdosing psychedelics has not shown compelling benefits though larger studies are needed:
Principle: Higher doses in controlled settings may be more promising than microdosing.
Tactics: Evaluate evidence from unbiased sources before adopting microdosing practices.
1:22:48
Preliminary results for psilocybin therapy for conditions like anorexia and fibromyalgia are promising:
-: Psychedelics show potential for treating a wide range of conditions.
-: Participate in rigorous clinical trials to advance psychedelic research.
1:28:41
MDMA therapy for PTSD is furthest along in FDA approval process; psilocybin approval is years away:
-: Psychedelic research progresses at different speeds for different conditions and compounds.
-: Support scientific and legislative efforts to advance psychedelic medicine responsibly.
2:09:03
Pearls:
Part 1 (00:00 - 1:00:03):
An introduction to the discussion by Andrew Huberman. He introduces Dr. Carhart-Harris and his research on psychedelics.
Dr. Carhart-Harris provides context on the history, meaning, and definition of the term 'psychedelics'. He discusses how they work by activating the serotonin 2A receptor and increasing connectivity between brain regions.
They discuss studies showing that psilocybin can help treat depression, the dosages used, and what patients typically experience during psychedelic therapy sessions. The importance of factors like set, setting, and music is highlighted.
Part 2 (1:00:03 - 2:34:47):
They discuss ego dissolution and how psychedelics may reveal aspects of the unconscious mind.
Dr. Carhart-Harris provides details on studies involving LSD, DMT, fibromyalgia, and first-time psychedelic users.
They discuss microdosing vs. macrodosing psychedelics, combination psychedelic therapies, and the importance of integration work after psychedelic journeys.
The current state of psychedelic research, FDA approvals, and emerging startups in the field are covered. MDMA therapy for PTSD is further along than psilocybin therapy for depression.
Andrew thanks Dr. Carhart-Harris for his work and passion for advancing this field in a safe and ethical manner.
Dr. Carhart-Harris is a pioneer in studying how psychedelics like psilocybin can be used to treat psychiatric conditions like depression.
Psychedelics work by activating the serotonin 2A receptor in the brain, which increases communication between brain regions and alters neural activity.
Studies show that psilocybin can help alleviate depression in over 60-70% of patients, far more effectively than standard antidepressants.
Psychedelic therapies involve taking higher doses of psychedelics in controlled clinical settings with therapists and music. Self-administering psychedelics recreationally is risky.
Psychedelic experiences can lead to ego dissolution, insights, and increased feelings of interconnectedness. However, the effects do not last after the drug wears off. Ongoing integration work is needed.
Clinical trials are underway to explore using psychedelics to treat other conditions like anorexia, fibromyalgia, and trauma. Preliminary results are promising but more research is needed.
MDMA-assisted therapy is further along in the FDA approval process and could be approved for treating PTSD as early as next year. Psilocybin approval for depression is still several years away.
There are concerns about bad practices, scandals, and ensuring psychedelic therapies are conducted properly and safely as this field grows.

AI resume?
I am literally crying watching this. I am 61 and have suffered major depression most of my life. I desperately need to find a study in Canada.
Don't find a study. Grow your own, learn a lot, and do intensve pre- and post-analysis on your own.
im 63, was going out to the garage to put the shotgun to good use. My grown son convinced me to take a good dose of MDMA. Suffered all my life with CPTSD, depression, suicide etc. Instant change in my brain. My long suffering wife says i am a different person. Im not. Im now the real me. Still some things to deal with but life is soo good now. At last I am free!!! Im not a drug user but MDMA saved my life.
Go to Oregon
So glad to see Dr Carhart-Harris. His work is so important and groundbreaking.
Mushroom was good to me
I know, right! It's mind-blowing how psychedelic trips can be so individual and unique, even when people take the same amount at the same time.
Where can I source em?
Can he be On instgram?
Can he send to me in Ohio?
Certainly, he's an exceptional mycologist, and I highly recommend his expertise.
Psychedelics are the next frontier for the world's PEACE, it is so important to educate about the positive effects of the dissolution of the ego - and talk about psychedelics! (they changed my life too - eternally grateful). Greetings from Chile and many, many thanks Andrew and Robin for this amazing episode.
Shrooms 🍄 have really changed my life! I was very depressed and my mental health was at a all time low. Almost took my life in January feeling sad and hopeless all the time. Then as I started doing shrooms doing about 4-8 grams each trip. I can say as of June 23 2023 I’m am feeling happy and my depression is gone and my mental health is a lot better! I tried to get physical therapy and never got it. They (shrooms) saved me in a way unlike any other. It did something a human didn’t do. I played ambient music and only positive things playing or watching. Put yourself in good energy areas and people if with others. I seen spiritual things and had spiritual experiences that’s has come with growth. I have seen and felt the energy of others and it made me cry but took all the pain away. I have seen what the mind won’t let u see and the connection to the universe. Look at the stars on it! U will be blown away! I’m able to think on a higher level and have moments off shrooms and still see or feel things. Also my crystal’s definitely shown me the energy they hold and the effect on me and protection. In 6 months I have done 40 trips. It’s not for everyone. but I have already changed lives by introducing this to others and guiding them through the 6-8 hour trip. Just amazing with no bad trips. Speak positively before each trip and ask for what you want to learn and see! It will listen to u as your mind will bring it to life and will open u to your ego and show you your real self! Be open and before u know it u landed feeling different and better! AMAZING ❤😅😊😮
I really want to take this to the next step and help others who are willing to seek out change! 🙏🏽💯
Happy for you buddy

Wow, I wasn't aware a documentary had been made. Such an excellent book! Love Michael Pollan. Thanks for sharing!
I honestly didn't expect this episode to be that interesting, but Dr. Huberman and his guest don't disappoint. Thank you!
I was on the brink of taking my own life twice in the past 8 years, and both times what saved me from the bottomless pit of anguish and despair I had found myself in was LSD. Psychedelics are the paradigm shift that can save humanity. The work of people like Dr. Carhart-Harris is probably some of the most important work that's being done in academia right now. Thank you so much for this phenomenal episode.
@Marcell Uche the fact that shameless, tactless and arrogant people like you somehow flourish in the psychedelic community saddens me greatly.
your videos are always a pleasure to watch - listening to engaging conversations like this can be difficult to find at times. also I appreciate when you make a point of explaining big words usually reserved for small circles !
I would LOVE an episode on skin and sun exposure: How much is too much? What is a sunburn? Best practices for sun protection?
Great content, keep it up!
Well he's not a dermatologist but there are plenty out there that could give you this answer lol
Plant Chompers, one of the best channels on CZcams, has a video on this.
In such a discussion, please consider addressing the distinction between types of skin cancers, their lethalities and the relationships and non-relationships with sun exposure, including the weakness/strength of the evidence that melanoma is caused by such.
There's already a plethora of data and research on this already, just use the search engine, don't rely on Huberman who cherry-picks on half the topics he discusses anyways.
It changed my life so dramatically, so deeply, so quickly that it's hard to comprehend. I'm so thankful for psilocybin. It freed me from years of addiction, depression. I feel so blessed and thankful and lucky to have discovered it. Thank you for promoting this wonderful magical tool. It's as effective as your wildest imagination can allow.
How did it help you with addiction?😢
@@sabateez I battled for 17 years with 100s of 'quit than relapse.' I'd heard about a mycologist who overcame a speech impediment/stutter in one experience (which I'd previously understood to be genetic). So, I intended to try them in order to overcome my issues. 4 to 5 hours later, I quit:
-adhd meds
-opiates/opiate blockers
-tobacco
-medical marijuana
-sugar
-depression
-anxiety
Since, I've lost 40 pounds, workout everyday, my diet is pristine, my work & family life are better, & I'm just genuinely healed. They saved my life.
@@scoutwithoutclout hey there, what dosing regime are you on right now? Do you microdose or did you just take a few macro doses and found relief that lasted to this day?
Thanks. I'm exploring using psylocibin to overcome addiction and alcohol cravings
@@alancohen810 One slightly larger dose shifted my mindset forever. Huberman talks about "letting go" but that was absolutely not my experience. The trip was me in a bed for 4 hours regaining my resolve. I'd already let myself go & lost all control, so this trip was about regaining power over my mind. The secret I learned was it was a negative thought pattern. Every time a negative thought tried to enter my mind, I replaced it with one of empowerment. There are so many thoughts during that 5 hour trip that at some point the negative thought patterns just gave up. I consciously overcame them. In my heart I let my loved ones back in; I let go of grief & regret; I got excited for my future. You'll find that sobriety is way better than addiction. Give yourself one clean week to beat the withdrawals & you'll earn yourself a new life. Each month will get better than the last. Your future is as bright as you can imagine. Good luck.
@@sabateez Because psychedelics make you realize and literally *see* how much of a piece of s*** you are and how disgusting and destructive your cyclic habits and negative patterns of behavior are and how they're just ruining your life and general happiness. Basically it makes you so acutely aware of your negative patterns that you feel overwhelmingly obligated to correct them and stop all the chaos and BS. They hold you accountable. Psychedelics make pretty much everyone want to be sober and healthy, addict or not.
best podcast out there! you really listen to our requests and put in so much sweat and time to push the envelope and put light on topics which are not so mainstream but of top interest in our current times!

Can we take it if we are SSRI?
We need a podcast on high-functioning autism! 🙏🏻
On how it's a sham? Speaking as a supposed "aspie" myself.
@@TheDavveponken how is it a sham?
@@noustronaut4830 It seems to me that what a lot of people nowadays consider high functioning autism is merely, harshly put, bad parenting resulting in trauma (which then in secondary socialisation with peers result in even further trauma) thus, quite logically, makes the child shy away from social stimuli or society in a broader sense - due to anxiety. This causes the child to develop special interests and special quirks as to form an identity determined by something other than "society", insofar that is possible - there will naturally be a discrepancy as no one is entirely cut off from other people.
Rather anecdotal - I was that child, although my special interest kind of became people (why would they do that/how could they and so on; if nothing else for survival's sake). But I think it holds up. The screening process is all but scientific in my view. If you are a bit odd/free thinking or have bad relationships in your life, you get screened. And who wouldn't be defiant with tyrannical parents?
All the best.
A few years ago I seen a documentary which included medical professionals including an Immunologist, he was talking about There Autism being a symptom of inflammation of cerebellum due to early childhood vaccinations. I can't find it anywhere it has been deleted. I'm on the spectrum and what he was talking about made perfect sense to me. I also know of children who regressed within days of vaccination. There are many many parents who will say the exact same thing...

I have the upmost respect for psychedelics now. I've always been so curious as to how it helps addiction, and now I know. It is the single most profound experience I have ever had in my life (even beyond childbirth). It was beyond TERRIFYING as I left this world and died (it was more real than real), I did a huge DMT dose but I would not change it for the world now. The most profound experience, that I will never be able to put into words. I'm a different person. Nothing matters anymore.
¡Hola Profe!Another amazingly educational episode.I was awakened by all the knowledge You brought us.Thank You ,for all Your work.
Dr. Carhart-Harris takes his part in the history of western psychedelic medicine. ❤
Great research.
Love this podcast. Longtime listener; first-time commenter. I would love to bring to bear your expertise and intellectual curiosity and rigor to dysautonomia. My wife suffers from this, and because it is so poorly understood and can have so many diverse symptoms, she has been shuffled around from cardiologists, endocrinologists, and neurologists with some literally saying it's "all in her head" (and I appreciated and resonated with your critique of this as a diagnosis on this episode). Some helpful avenues have included increased salt intake and physical exercise being disproportionately more important for those affected, but there is still so much to be understood and explored as possible, sustainable treatments. While I know you would always caution to seek the opinions of qualified medical practitioners, it would also be great to know what current research is saying and to hear the perspective of an elite doctor in the field who does treat this seriously.
Just try magnesium glycinate and non-THC type cannabinoids. Maybe taurine supplementing as well.
I'd really like if you could talk to a speech therapist, telling us everything about our speaking voices, from how to speak louder to why some people speak fast. I've really been struggling with speech since my childhood. Now I'm fine, but I'd like to improve more.
Great program. I am glad the discussion wasn't rushed. So much info packed into the program and I'm glad. Very interested in this but while under proper care.
Massive thank you for this, what a wonderful podcast ❤
Loved this! What a great guest. I would have loved to hear more about DMT and ibogaine. I also was hoping to hear more about ketamine (even tho i know it's not a classic psychedelic) and it's therapeutic usage. Perhaps subjects for future episodes?
Trust me, ketamine is disgustingly overrated. It just feels like PCP without the stimulation and mania. It actually feels really fucked up and 'druggy'. It's just one of those "ya...I'd definitely rather be sober right now" type of drugs. The only positive aspects about it are enhanced music appreciation on it, and it is introspective but it doesn't really matter because you forget it all afterwards anyways. Even DXM felt less fucked up than ketamine somehow.
As for DMT and ibogaine, definitely some superbly interesting stuff there but Carhart-Harris is not the guy you want to really hear from on those. His reductionism in regards to psilocybin is already hard enough to tolerate and he's not exactly known for his sense of nuance.
This is great work. The problem with the legal restrictions - which are barbaric, cruel and destructive - is that psychedelics will likely be accessible only to wealthy and a very limited number of people for a long time. The drug war was and is a disaster of epic proportions. So practically the people without financial means will often take legal risks to mitigate there chronic severe pain, suicidal depression, and debilitating trauma. Perhaps I could fly to Amsterdam for treatment, but many others will simply kill themselves because these drugs are kept from them and out of financial reach.
Dawg just go to Oakland
@leonhardeuler4292 they're legal in Oregon too
Nope. Grow your own.
@@leonhardeuler4292 Not close if you are in SE Asia
Psychedelics are pretty cheap tho... You can grow your own mushrooms with a $50 budget. In my country you can get 5 grams for 6 bucks.
This is a wonderful conversation. Dr Robin seems like a person who would be awesome for a long chill talk about life the universe and the selfz
I love your content. I am very thankful for the time and commitment you put into it.
If possible, please create an episode for teenagers that run, that want to become high performance athletes. Nutrition, hydration, rest, meditation, supplements, cold and heat, recovery, and anything related. Bone broth, meat, water with salt, vegetables, super foods, carbs, powder protein, etc. THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.
Trippy Dr. Huberman! Sick episode
Excellent interview! The only extra thing I would like to have known is the back story as to how Dr. Carhartt - Harrison became interested in this topic.
This is the most important video I have viewed for years. Many thanks,
@hubermanlab Andrew it is truly wonderful to see how much your podcast has grown since your entry into the modality a few years ago. I am grateful for you, for your due diligence, your open mind, the vast array of topics you cover. This is my favorite podcast of yours thus far. Monumental in its implications. May you thrive, contributing to the human race in such a way as to bring you immense joy as you have always done. I love you brotha 💚🪬
I will recommend you to this mycologist who I got all mushrooms,dmt,lsd,edible cannabis etc
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
I've been microdosing on the batch of mushrooms I got from one guy online for the last few months for depression and the results have been immeasurable. The world has beauty again whereas before it was grey and painful.
Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
Tripping and microdosing are not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know
Came across some comments about Myco_sporres I must recommend he is good at what he does.
He sells the best mushroom 🍄 ,DMT,LSD,chocolate bars 🍫, golden teachers,microdosing kits and all other good stuff
I appreciate the variety of strains available, and the fact that they are committed to sustainability and ethical practices. *SporeSolutions* are the best.
Promoting such a "sensitive" topic to mainstream science is proof to the incredible capacity humans have to evolve in alignment with environmental pressures, on a completely different time scale comparing to "ordinary" species. This is the proof of the special gift we've been granted, that is to posses such a powerful and adaptable brain. Let's all join efforts in building the momentum to positive change.
Lol
Andrew, you are doing a great job. Thank you!
loyal audience of the podcast, the knowledge really helps me a lot. I'd also love to know something about math learing cause I'm a student and math is always a big problem.
Yes, Paul Stamets please

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did
Tripping is not a bad idea but it shouldn't be abused

Thanks for another FASCINATING episode Andrew (and Robin)!!! I would LOVE to see an episode going deep on optimal bloodwork biomarkers (in particular for athletes). I would also love to see one on protein, amino acids, and the gut microbiome. THANK YOU again for your work!!!

Any other musicians ever had long lasting postive experiences playing their instrument/ instruments on a psychedelic? I've noticed, like with breathing and progressive relaxation, I can precieve more when on a psychedelics and can think outside my normal patterns way easier. I've also noticed it has helps tremendously with learning Japanese, which to me is very similar to playing an instrument. Godspeed, you're a true G Dr. Huberman!
If you can get in the proper mental space then learning and or working through almost any type of challenge gets much easier.
"Getting there" is too difficult for me to describe , but it sounds like you've figured it out or at least gotten enough taste of it to figure it out.
🤘✌️
I'm recording an album right now and about 50 per cent of it was composed on mushrooms. I've been working on it since Feb. I've been getting stuck on the mix, and last night I took a gram and decided to listen back to some of the recordings, and boom I was balancing all the instruments with absolute certainty. So it has inspired the actual composition and the audio engineering side. Generally if you're an artist of any kind these tools should inspire. This is why I think '60s music is the best usually, very much inspired by psychedelics.
Thank you Professor, I am extremely grateful for your work! I was wondering if there is an episode on ketamine coming up that could explain exact mechanism of action in the brain and possible side effects. I noticed it is gaining much popularity as a tool in mental health disruptions since it is leagal. Thank you for making science approachable :)
Thankyou so much Dr Huberman and Dr. Carhart-Harris, all the info and data gave me hope not just at a personal level, and also thank you for speaking of legacy paradigm of our human mental healthcare, of course currently specifically on depression, ptsd etc. And we certainly need more options, mental health was almost always on the sidelines and were eventually considered as tragic, and certain society are pretty much penalising sufferer with their temporary inability to contribute thier part of the community. You both are the scicentists we needed moving forward as a human race. Love from Hong Kong.

Love this, this is something Iv been wanting to try or get involved in to see how it helps or effects my mental state, im someone diagnosed with anxiety, depression and panic attacks, the whim Hoff method helped me massively I still struggle with anxiety daily but not as much, , but been someone who’s taken certain drugs growing up it would be good to try out theses micro dosing along side people testing for data reasons, and for a perspective off my own to see how and what changes happen en with my mental state
Dr. Huberman, I cannot begin to thank you enough for your insight and incredible depth of knowledge on the subject of entheogens.
I'm in Oregon becoming a psilocybin facilitator (we graduate in two weeks) and not only has your podcast been helpful for my personal growth, it has been incredibly helpful for giving insight and clinical research into psilocybin. I have recommended to your podcast to every single one of my classmates and will continue to do so for future cohorts.
I am 19 months sober thanks in part to psilocybin and microdosing, and your videos have finally persuaded my father to consider looking into services in the near future.
Im gonna get some Athletic Greens just to support you guys💚
Thank you, truly, for all that you do🙏
Congrats to you in becoming certified.
That's awesome!
Hi! I'm a Chilean journalist and right now I'm dedicating my life to healing. I will love to be a psilocybin facilitator, do you think I could do the training in the US? Can you give me more info? Many thanks! Lupe
@@guadalupesepulveda Well as an American myself, I can confidently state that the Western world barley even understands what they're doing with this stuff (psychedelic tryptamines) yet. Psychology in general is honestly in its infancy and psychedelic psychotherapy... ha, well let's just say it's basically still in the womb. Now I did see a video in the recommended by a female that was titled "How To Become a Psychedelic Psychotherapist" so you can do some searching around here or check out that specific video but I would probably somewhat manage your exceptions. Because there's still some very basic/rudimentary aspects of psychedelia that, at least my culture hasn't even gotten a grasp on yet. For example, how music in such contexts (psychotherapy) should really only be utilized with certain psychedelics like LSD and Ayahuasca, but not necessarily with psilocybin. Or how the New-Agey, idealist, or even naturalistic treatment of such experiences is just recycled sociocultural detritus leftover from past eras overemphasizing the tenets of LSD in the late 60s and early 70s. Just little (but also pretty basic) things like that you know. I'm not against psychedelic therapy at all, I'm all for it but just keep in mind that many of the theorized "models" in contemporary psychology... well, let's just say they got some more work to do. But be careful of the dogmas within the field.
That said, we could probably use more females in these fields and practices anyways, especially from non-western countries and cultures like Chile so, at least people like myself would gladly welcome someone such as yourself with open arms to these fields and so would "they" I'd imagine. The only advice or suggestion I'd posit here is to just understand the topic well enough overall and understand what you're talking about/working with. And that means to try psilocybin yourself, multiple times, alone and in sufficient doses (3 - 5 dried grams of cubensis is the magic number) and to pay close attention to the experience as it unfolds. And if you come away with a secular or naturalistic perspective, that's a sign you need to do it again and pay closer attention or fix your dosage. Not saying you should push esotericism or mysticism on your future hypothetical patients, but you shouldn't approach this stuff with a secular reductionist or Cartesian attitude. Plant shamanism and mystical esotericism will dominate and dramatically prevail over psychedelic psychotherapy if we continue to secularize these experiences or try to 'take the magic out of' psychedelic journeys. They're not just therapeutic, they're also epistemic and theological and everything in between. I would listen to the lectures of someone like Terence McKenna. Also, if you have a chance to choose where in the U.S. to come and undertake this stuff, probably Colorado or California would be best. Maybe Oregon or Washington, or even New England but I'd be weary about trying this out anywhere besides those handful of states at this current time. I wish you luck though. I actually believe in you. Peace
I love Dr. Robin's shirt! The knowledge he shared is pretty sweet too! 😛
Thank Dr Huberman for this invaluable podcast. Could you please do an episode on Autism Spectrum Disorders and the behavioral as well as the pharmaceutical treatments that are effective to help children that suffer from this?
OH! and it would also be great to have an episode on sunscreens. So many types being recalled because of benzophenone and its precursor octocrylene from major brands, and the dizzying array of lotions, sticks, and sprays (sprays are often required at schools now and applied once a day in the afternoon for young kids, making this extremely important for young parents) can be hard to parse. Plus as you mentioned in an earlier episode, so many of these chemicals can cross the blood brain barrier. Consumer Labs and the Environmental Working Group have great discussions on the topic, but still a lot to take in and most pharmacies only carry a handful of types. This feels like something you've been contemplating doing (and maybe already will be?) but would devour such an examination from you with/without a guest in the field. Can't thank you enough for all that you do and the humor, rigor, and approachability you bring to everyday science-backed solutions for living your best life.
omg thats horrendous
If you want to continue discussing drugs, please interview Hamilton Morris. He has a fascinating perspective on the use of psychoactive substances and is a wealth of knowledge on the subject, both technical and historical. His show Hamilton's Pharmacopeia is a must watch.
He's decent, he does have some blindspots though. Dennis McKenna would be better.
@@Ryan88881 Can you explain what you are referring to with “blindspots”?
@@NoahB.- Blindspots "ontologically-wise" is what I mean. As in, his worldview still has more work and/or development to undergo. Not that I have much faith that it even will though. Because it foreseeably wont, knowing him. But so the issue being that Hamilton still upholds the physicalist/reductionist viewpoint which should be liberally smeared away and extirpated actually.. fairly early-on in one's psychedelic exploration if I'm being completely honest, yet Morris who has undergone seemingly quite extensive self-experimentation still has yet to concede to what these substances and experiences consistently axiomatize on quite unambiguous terms. That's the other problem with this whole 'materialist versus magic' debate scheme.. The fact that the message(s) echoed from these plants/fungi-mediated experiences (with the exception of LSD which is still fungal-derived) very clearly and perspicuously ascertain and discern and really; descries that this whole thing (life and death and the current human experience) is 'pure' magic from top to bottom, inside and out. It (or rather they) *insist* on concerning themselves with a magical-worldview and the general phenomenological exegesis of such (magical) worldviews to begin with.
It's not like this is just 'my trips' either. Everyone opens themselves up to the same modalities and thematic schemas inherent in certain compounds or plants/fungi/lichen/toad secretions whenever they physically administer them and experience them firsthand. Everyone basically gets the same or incredibly similar messages and thesis statements and/or overall motifs as well as general agenda-based "raps" from these things. With the most salient sentiments coming off quite clear and unreserved, at least at some point in the user's experimentation where the 'final' blinders get blown off the perceptions. I find it more than a little conspicuous that these plants and fungi and other numinous or chthonic expeirence-based substances are soo unpromptedly intent, ardently committed and *avid* really, about ideologically getting across this general, not overly-specific if need be but still stratified-enough; magical worldview and highly permissive acceptance of the epistemic humility implicit in conceding to the mystery of the void and alethic finiteness of sapiens. These things promote acknowledgment of/within the department of self-understood ontological cluelessness as well as a justified-through-observed-veracity level of fairydust-like magic and miraculous wonders pervasive in the physical/objective realm of reality.
Now, one can choose to ignore or embarrassingly even try to 'reduct' these generalizable "magic is real and elaborately involved and/or intermingling with essentially everything you've ever known" type sentiments, or maybe they'll miss them entirely in their less-than-thorough "analyses". But in situations of proper and attentive analyses, with genuine perceived encounters of this exact entheogenic dictum, it would and does require an active 'pushing down' and psycho-logical 'waging' against what is presented to it. I just want to emphasize that. It requires an active and effortful noetic *resistance* and overly ego-defined mental opposition to the proposition, where it essentially demands a counter-case or counterargument that is able to replace it. People will then be exceedingly passive during this point in the trip if they do come across it and wont compel themselves to logically satisfy the constraints and axioms that logically follow with it. You're only going to come out of psychedelia with a secular or naturalist/atheistic mentality still thereafter if you're limited in dosage and/or actual countable experiences, or you just base your whole persona and 'tripper image' around this active psycho-ideaological resistance to what these experiences practically sermonize over and over again. If magic and the mysteries of the esoteric or nearby invisible worlds and all that is really all just some bust or cap, then why even imbibe in and submerge oneself in such seemingly illusory, deceptive and faulty states of consciousness to begin with? Is their/his argument that these plants and fungi *don't* put forth and/or axiomatize such tenets and that it's the user self-generating this? Well I've been researching this for awhile (quite a few years) and I can emphatically state, that that's not how it works and these overarching 'sentiments' are even more generalizable and easy to affirm than the already more specific but still generalizable elements, such as those specific to each hallucinogen. So like going around in a circle, I am yet again only left to question Hamilton's genuine analytical capabilities and/or degree of intellectual honesty if he actually thinks these magical existential and metaphysical (albeit still tentative) ontological conclusions are somehow user-generated and not a clear and direct thesis-like assertion communicated by the plant/fungus/chemical itself within the trip, which it quite unambiguously is so... I can't respect his sense of judgment or trust his discretion if he administered psychedelics such a number of times and wasn't able to pick up on the basics, or if he did, then why did he actively reject them and feel the need to swat them down? I just can't see how the word/message/signification imparted directly from nature itself can be taken so casually or faced with some kind of overplayed, postmodern, reductive, positivist-type rejection or even a moderate sense of metaphysical ambivalence. I want to see and understand why Descartes (some former French simian meatsuit of nothingness) can have his epistemological assumptions taken at face-value and uncritically accepted by the rest of "the tribe" but some anthropospherically-incongruent mushroom with a cogent feeling of animateness, intelligence, preeminence and off-world, primordial-galactic wisdom that wants to take things back a few thousand or so years and exhume the pieces of cerebral detritus which can collect and clog-up the inner ideologue chambers to the point of abject secularity and physicalism.

That was fantastic. Many thanks.
I went on trips with eyes open, eyes closed, with music (different kinds)

but also be a guide and enhence emotions.
With or without... both has it's pro's and con's to it.

I will refer you to online store I got mine stuff
Well I've researched this exact thing actually and the music thing honestly depends on the substance. For LSD and Ayahuasca music can be very helpful and fitting, etc. For psilocybin though, it's not really "meant" for music in that way or context as far as I can discern. Hard to explain, and I have had great moments with combining music and psilocybin don't get me wrong but generally speaking, I think psilocybin is best, or more productive without it. With LSD or ayahuasca however I would maintain that it's pretty much the other way around.

I look forward to every Monday, even if I am only able to watch your podcasts later in the week at times - they are always fascinating. Thank you to Dr C-H for all the valuable knowledge shared in this discussion.
For future episodes I would love to hear more on fascia tissue and an interview with dr. Lani Shiota on awe and other emotions might be of great interest.
To offer some anecdotal information, I have experimented both with macro dosing and microdosing and what I found is that the "inperceivable dose" seemed to produce more of a placebo effect whereas taking a slightly larger dose enough to make the effects perceivable but not overwhelming allowed me to go about doing most normal *safe* tasks but it's also nice for meditation or contemplation and reflection in nature because you're still able journal or record your thoughts more comfortably walk around. Seems like a lot of the focus these days is on all or nothing and there's not a lot of discussion around the moderate dose range, of which I would consider 0.25-1g depending on strain.
Gosh, I learned the history of the word psychedic for the first time earlier today, and here I hear the same story again. And I've looked at lots of information about them before. Synchronicity?!
Thank you so much for the Spanish subtitles.
I am hyped for the episode about Modafinil, Adderal etc.
I can't resist not clicking any new episodes where huberman is specifically talking about usage of psychedelic!
I've done 2 gm mushrooms tea, the love I felt was what I needed because I didn't receive that love when I was growing up
If you die without being able to experience that love that I felt during the duration of psychedelic mushrooms, probably your life is a waste.
Let that sink in for a moment

Thank you for another great episode. Since I I started listening last year my life has improved so much, specially my sleep. I'm sleeping so much better. I have a suggestion for a podcast. I love the outdoors and whenever I feel stressed out or overwhelmed with life. After a long hike I feel so much better. I read an article how at schools where they have a gardens children have less behavior challenges. I wonder if you know of any studies how nature could help improve our well-being.
Suggested topic: practical approach to help young children develop grit, preserve and a growth mindset...guide for parents/ caregivers
Great episode, as always. One thing I've wondered a lot about, relating to mental health, is that we learn all these great techniques for balance (like meditation), but when we feel at our worst it seems like our ability to engage in those activities just goes out the window. I would love for you to discuss this phenomenon from a neurological point of view.
That's a great question
You're right David. When depression hits hardest, finding a gym or a meditation cushion just feels impossible, even when the cushion is right there within arms reach. And yet, after a single smallish dose of a psychedelic, I'm right back on the cushion and at the gym. I feel privileged to live in a state that recently decriminalized psychedelics, so at least I only need to worry about federal agencies hassling me. (OH, and I need to worry about how to find or make the stuff, when there's still no legal source.)
Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly or something but isn't this kind of just self-explanatory? If your feelings and general mental health are going down the tubes and you're more neurotic then obviously your concentration and mindfulness capabilities and skills in psychological balancing techniques/meditation are going to be compromised. What exactly is there to discuss? Am I missing something here
@@tedpreston4155 Federal agents can't harass individual people. Yes, on the books it outlines how "federal law overrides state law" but by no means does it manifest in that kind of fashion. You would literally have to not even just work at but probably actually *own* a psychedelic business yourself in such a state for this kind of thing to even be a small risk. But no federally-empowered presidential administration for instance would even dare do something like that at this point in time. That would be total political suicide.
Thank you both so much
It sounds like the drug facilitates a lessening of inhibition/ resistance to openness, curiosity and crucially making an emotional contact. I suggest the containing guidance of the therapist is key. Ferenczi wrote papers on the principles of relaxation and neocatharsis.
I love that this Dr has such a good understanding of psychoanalytic/ therapeutic practise and theory.
