In 2002 at the age of 17 I had a grand mal seizure. My mom called Dr. Steinberg’s office crying after getting 2 different opinions. Even though his schedule was full, he found a way to get me in his schedule. He diagnosed me with an arterial venous malformation that caused a vein to leak blood in my brain. He performed surgery on me in October of 2002 and today I’m fully healthy . Dr. Steinberg, I wanted to let you know that I’m now 38, I have had a life filled of love, great relationships and memories because of your work. I was lifting weights before work when I saw your podcast with Dr. Huberman on my KZfaq feed, it gave me chills. With love, admiration, and respect, I thank you with all my heart and brain for saving my quality of life. Christ be with you my friend. Dave Purpura

I’m so happy to see that you have Dr Steinberg he is my neurosurgeon that looks over me. I have Moyamoya. He saved my life! He is the best.😊

I read Dr. Steinberg is 71 years old, he looks incredibly good. Good for him!

Andrew, can you make a video about skin health

Three weeks ago my 14 yr old daughter had an aneurysm burst inside of an AVMin her left frontal lobe. Over the course of 4 days, she had 4 brain surgeries to save her life. One week after the first surgery, she was sent home to recover. Her recovery has been miraculous - in the words of her own doctor. She's still got a ways to go to get her speech and language back but she's doing great and her attitude is that of a warrior (with a smile). She had half a head of hair when she left the hospital and decided to go full buzz cut. We donated 14 inches of her gorgeous hair to a local charity that makes FREE wigs for patients with medical hair loss. When all of this began, you were the first person I wanted to call to see if you knew anything about this... and then you release this (thank you). Reading the comments below of people who have survived similar situations is helping me to get through this. She hardly remembers any of the past few weeks while every second of it is a vivid memory for me. I'll be going back to your PTSD episodes to figure out the help I need to get through this as her mom. Thank you, and Dr. Steinberg, for this episode and for all of the comments below. I'm beyond thankful to the medical team here on Long Island at Cohen's Children's Medical Center and LIJ (Dr. Mark Mittler and Dr. Henry Woo and Dr. Thomas Link) who saved my child.

The episodes on brain health are my favorite! So much has yet to be revealed about the brain; its study provides endless fascination. On a related note, I had a neuron working for me once. I fired him.

I’m a chiropractor and agree with what the professors are saying be careful with getting your neck aggressively adjusted just ask your chiropractor to not do any twisting cracking adjustments and stick to soft tissue work please and thankyou!

What an honor to listen to you and Dr. Steinberg talking about brain science. In 2014, Dr Steinberg saved me by removing a difficult brain tumor on my optical nerve. His expertise allowed me to have a productive life. It was a wonderful surprise to see him interviewed by you.

Wow Andrew, you literally saved a loved ones Dad from being taken off life support with knowledge from your science community. I love the epic work you are doing.

Would love to see more on TBI, particularly longer term issues, from brain fog/nausea/exercise intolerance up to CTE

I’m a speech therapist in the medical setting. This episode is very relevant to most of my patients. Thank you

I bet there’s someone who sits down after a long day of work and just stares at huberman’s videos at normal speed. No food, no other entertainment.

Thank you so much for providing this public service, it's literally changed my life and I recommend it to everyone I know. Would you ever consider making an episode on weening off SSRI's/SNRI's/other psych meds? It's rough.

Please have Bessel Van Der Kolk, the author of “The Body Keeps The Score” on your podcast. I would greatly appreciate it.

I need this. Thank you a million times over.

I had a brain bleed so heavy that it nearly took me out. I was only 24 when it happened - was born with an AVM malformation that burst due to stress. I went thru surgery like explained in this podcast. with that catheter up from the knee (rather than groin) into the brain- the neurosurgeons saved my life! they did have to drill into my skull to leak the excessive bleeding, but the scar on my scalp is minor. Unfortunately I was left with chronic pain from nerve damage but hey, am eternally grateful to still be around. Team SCIENCE 😍

I was part of the SB623 clinical trial and had some recovery.

I like the information so far. I have a longtime neurological finger issues with both hands called slow channel disorder which only affects my fingers and there is no known treatment or advancement since I’ve had this brain issue since the 80’s. I am a pianist which is ironic that I can’t move my fingers. I can’t perform live because of it. This led me to understand neuroscience and brain health and the communication between our brain , muscles, nerves. Thank you Andrew for the vast wealth of useful information and helping us understand more about all areas of health and introduce us to these fine professionals in health!

Please can you do a podcast on cholesterol and risk of heart disease. Levels and several other Dr say research show LDL alone is not enough to assess risk. It’s density that really matters. Research also shows while statins will reduce LDL it does t reduce risk of death in women. Given the increased risks of diabetes and cognitive decline associated with statin the pro’s con’s should better better understood. Thank you.

Great episodes every single time! My husband showed me your podcast like a year ago and I've been listening to all the episodes. It helped us a lot to improve our lives. Now we even launched our own podcast trying to spread the good things to everyone. Thank you, Huberman!

Phenomenal episode, you have to bring him back on. really interesting to understand mild hypothermia procedure and protocol, never knew that.

Guest Suggestion: 1- John Joseph Hopfield( other than his great scientific contributions, the routine he follows that keeps him mentally sharp in his 90s), 2- Michael Levin Thanks for the great podcast!

Dr. Steinberg's insights into brain health are enlightening, emphasizing the critical role of lifestyle choices in neurological wellness. Regular check-ups and proactive health management can significantly enhance brain function and prevent degeneration 🧠.

Thank goodness for the new technology on the 21st Century. And thanks to all these wonderful surgeons, scientists, and pioneer doctors to lead the way for a better understanding of the human brain and biology.

I loved this video as a young female that has had 2 strokes I wish they would take most of the research that has been done and put it to use.

I usually click the like button before I listen to the whole episode. I am not sure if this helps with reach, but I do it anyway. If I have anything to add, I do so after a listen and taking notes. Once a student, always a student, I guess?

Another brilliant interview with neuro surgeon. God bless your work Dr Huberman. Keep on with your ads.. I find them very interesting. I started to take athletic greens with my family and very satisfied with the results.

Andrew, thank you for this. I would like to request video about recovering from Long Covid.

Much Gratitude! ...at age 18 i was in a bad car crash, black ice, first storm of the year & after the freezing ran stopped, 2 ft snow fell..they closed the highway it was so bad. But, at 10:30 PM..my step mum called & said if i didn't leave my girlfriends house & get home immediately, not to bother coming home again. Well..we tried, but didn't make it. Car was flattened like a pancake when it slid uncontrollably downhill & hit a natural stone wall causing it to roll a few times...& my neck & back were broken in 3 places. Got out of the wheelchair & Healed that with sheer determination..but..even though it's an invisible injury, i still feel the TBI, daily. Double vision if i get the slightest bit tired, absentee seizures, entire right side occasionally spazing up, etc...i won't take drugs & nothing the Drs around here have tried has helped...so..i'm hoping maybe..you guys will hit on something that helps :)

I was blown away to hear that it is now possible to perform surgery on the brainstem. Blew my mind. Dr Steinberg's passion and drive are deeply inspiring. Thank you!

Great content! Excellent presenters 🙏 TBI from multiple car accidents and injuries and intense physical abuse! The information presented so graciously here gives me hope to keep on keeping on! Namaste 🙏

Thanks for this episode but I was really hoping for more practical things I could do at home.

Great guest and podcast. It's great to give so much information for those who have had stroke and other injuries to their brain. The most important topic for me was , the information on the injury from chiropractor neck manipulation injury. Years ago I used to go to chiropractor and the neck manipulation was what I dreamed most . He used to ask me questions to distract me so I stayed relaxed during neck manipulation. If I ever go again, I will not allow that neck procedure . Thank you for that information .

WE HAVE BEEN DOING RESTRAINT THERAPY FOR DECADES. rehab therapists, including myself, have done this successfully. You select the patients carefully for compliance and capacity. And prepare them for the frustration and slow improvement. Brains take a while to learn and grow. The more massively damaged and the older/more systemically ill the person is, the less response. Done with young children with CP, we get pretty amazing results.

I am very interested about the brain's ability to handle prions and similar folded protein nightmare-fuel. As well as any potential connection that might have to neurodegenerative diseases. That being said, this episode was an absolute nerd-out and put me at ease about a great deal of things. Thank you both!

TBI - please, please include horse riding accidents, and so often handling them on the ground means they have mashed my head considerably. Us little, wee girls get the same injuries as big hulking blokes. At 66yo, I'm paying for it now.

I believe “inversions”, “hanging down”, “handstands” and all the yoga practices that puts the brain below the heart level increasing the blood flow to it, need a lot more research to see if there is some long term benefits and downsides in adopting those practices daily/weekly and if there is some sweet spot in time duration. I’m baffled nobody is actively researching them.

I was just diagnosed with CSVD and was told there is no cure, no medication, no studies being conducted on this brain disease but listening to this makes me want to get other opinions on this. Given zero hope was devastating to say the least. Thank you for giving me some hope that the doctor I saw was just uneducated on this disease.

My mother had an aneurism at age 80 , me and my brother took her quick to Quinta Dor Hospital, in Rio. When Doctors told us she was going through an embolization ( via catheter from the groin to get to the brain) , we did not know how safe that was.. and gosh we were afraid! The neurosurgeons saved her life and the best is that she has no sequels from the aneurism embolization.. So we are living in a new world of possibilities. 😍

An episode on how interacting with animals, living with an animal, having a pet, etc helps your brain would be super cool

For me one of your best episodes Dr Steinberg thank you for shared your work dedication and results

It’s hard to get a consistent answer on statins. For every expert stating they are great, there is another that says you shouldn’t take them.

It is very hopeful to hear about the power of plasticity, thank you for this video. I would like to learn more about recovery from TBI (diffuse axonal damage), specifically what can be done by yourself (food, physical exercise, cognitive exercise, rest, sleep). Also the combination of knowledge from western medicine with knowledge from eastern medicine and ayurveda would be very interesting to learn more about. It would be very helpful. Thank you.

¡Hola Profe!Fascinating and vital conversation.Thank You for Your hard work and care for all of us.

Hello, Professor! Tons of love! Would it be a good idea to make a video on legs strength, running, ankle pain?

I am really glad to know such vast information about brain regions, thank you Andrew Huberman and Dr Gary Steinberg 😊 I want to share something if someone knows little bit more information on Spinal Stroke because my sister couldn't walk but she used to. When she was in 7th grade, on a school tour she was fall of from stairs, may be 4 or 5 steps on stairs, and then she started noticing that she can't walk properly and in a year she was completely stopped walking and we have seen lot of doctors but nobody yet find the real cause of a problem. If someone share some information it would be great!

microdosing after aTBI saved me - stopped my migranes and got me out of bed - still was a long recovery (about a year) to get my memory, emotions and strength/ energy back.

A great guest and a superb episode.

29:00 TIA can be diagnosed on a dilated eye exam by ophthalmologists by looking at the retina and seeing the offender located in the artery. I have seen brilliant small cholesterol particules stuck in the small retinal artery. Sometimes many are seen! I then send the patient for neurological consult. Carotid US and other tests are then initiated by me or the neurologist. Ophthalmologist here. I'm super happy with this topic. Thanks Andrew!

Dr. Huberman, Topics like "Physical Exercise for patients suffering from Vertigo , Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Asthma & Cancer." would benefit many patients Improving their lives.

Fantastic yet again Andrew thank you. A video about fascia throughout the body would be amazing ❤🎉

Wonderful episode. Having watched almost every podcast published in the last 2 years i would like to say: thank you Andrew for enriching our lives with educated knowledge that is very applicable to everyday life. I feel blessed to have discovered your channel. As en episode suggestion If I may: skin health or skin abnormalities and how to approach them - would be a very interesting topic to explore through yours and your guests expertise. Again, thank you for everything you've done so far.

Andrew, can you do a video with someone who's a coach of a great sportsman and talk a out what It takes phisically and mentally tò become great at sports ?

loved the caveats that dr gary shared. His insight into bp under 120 was interesting as well.

Great episode. Maybe the subject itself was fascinating but Dr. Gary seemed extremely passionate and knowledgeable. Before I knew it I finished the whole episode. Couldn’t get enough of his wisdom. Ty❤

All ‘well and good’, But: Statin?! For real? Made me sad and mad for a moment there….It’s been debunked ages ago when truth about cholesterol came out, right !? Still - learning from Andrew proper way of responding when not on the same page😉read you as a book 😅it’s excellent!

My blood pressure has always been 90 / 58 so I guess I will never have a stroke even though I had a TBI. I can get my blood pressure to go up sightly by taking cold showers which I always do but it only stays higher for a few hours. I too passed a kidney stone and salt is not my friend so like the doctor, I drink a lot of water to flush out oxalates.

All the sponsors? KZfaq dont pay enough bro u gotta continually interupt the conversation? I specifically pay the youtube membership to avoid such annoyances. Aside from that thanks for the insightful exchange gentleman...

I wish hyperbaric oxygen medicine was discussed for the treatment or prevention of strokes .

I can truely say this was informative, can't wait to hear and see a podcast more in depth on Cardiovascular dieases.

Andrew, please have Paul Stamets on to talk about micology. He's doing some really cool research.

Very interesting and thank you, Andrew. I'd be curious if there is any ongoing resesarch or studies on patients who experienced Olfaction loss. A number of years ago I lost my smell due to a TBI and was told it was gone forever. Perhaps there are some new found stimulants that are targeted that could be explored?

Still waiting for the SPF episode. Would love to see guests like Glow By Ramon, TheMelaninChemist, Dr. Dray, LabMuffinScience, AvaPerki, that could challenge your views on organic vs inorganic SPFs. More than enough experts in the field have called out some misinformation you said about SPFs, so I would love to see a discussion on this topic. Maybe a special episode with more than 1 guest.

This was a fascinating episode. Dr. Steinberg spoke about the benefits of statin (other than its usual primary effect of reducing high LDL) and how he prescribes it to his patients. And surprisingly, my family friend (doc from Cleveland Clinic) had to push my PCP to prescribe me statin even after my PCP diagnosed me with high LDL. At first, no meds needed. And then after having a chat with the Cleveland doc, here you go, statin. I had asked my family friend if they provided any extra medical information to my PCP that I had not provided, and they said, no. I wonder why is there an inconsistency in medical treatment/diagnosis in the USA.

I would love to hear an episode about air quality and its short and long term impacts on full spectrum human experience.

I really enjoyed the episode about peptides! I’d love to see one about nootropics. Keep up the outstanding work Dr Huberman! You are a huge part of many of our lives! 💕 I always appreciate your knowledge and accessible way of explaining -a huge fan!

Another amazing guest!

De Georgia Ede, psychiatrist, is against statins for brain health. Great podcast as usual!

What a great guest and useful information! Thank you!

Any possibility of an episode on emergency medicine and practices?

Andrew, a video on Lungs and Grateful if you cover how various pranayams or breathing exercises affect the lungs.

Would it be possible to do podcast on piercings that are done on nerves, eg. Daith and vagus nerve and tragus. Guess you could incorporate acupuncture and go into other stimulation methods of nerves, how they work, benefits and risks etc.

Podcast will greatly benefit if Dr. Huberman releases new videos bi-weekly. The quality and time to research the topic will elevate.

Thank you for this episode, stroke id very important subject that's not covered much, appreciate it.

Excellent episode. Neuroplasticity generation is a fascinating subject.

I’ve been hearing that statins are horrible. He would prescribe them to people that don’t have high cholesterol??

Dr. Huberman, have you done an episode on MS and how it affects the eyes, peripheral nerves, etc.? I'm interested in learning about the neurological effects Multiple Sclerosis has. I'm also interested in learning if there are other things that have similar neurological impacts but are not MS (mimics, I suppose).

Can you please make a video on psychopathy and criminal behavior and tendencies? I'm working in forensic psychiatry and am interested

Btw, saying that the soccer ball is light - that is definitely someone that has never played soccer. Hitting the ball with your head, especially at speed as it often happens, results in a substantial force to you head. Very informative video, as always!

This episode and information is fascinating- his experiences as a neurosurgeon and the future of the field is just incredible. Thank you 😊Loving science again as a result of your podcast

I love the adddd feature with illustrations now!! Awesome 👌

Podcast with VS Ramachandran

Brilliant placement for the LMNT ad 💦

Could you make an episode about "restless legs syndrome"? some members in my family suffer badly from this and no doctor seems to be able to help. It is such an impact on the quality of life with its impact on sleep and just daily life. I am sure many would benefit learn more about this syndrome and some ways to cope and improve this condition.

Dr. Hubermam, could you please do an episode on the most efficient learning strategies? Like proper mind mapping, interleaving, etc.

The Statin bit I am abit unsure

Wow im so happy to see this!!! I suffered from a haemorrhagic occipital stroke in 2021, and have a left sided homonymous hemianopia. I have been trying to find a solution to hopefully resotre my vision, and Gary Steiberg is one of the guys i have been trying to get into contact with. Also saw Andrew here in Melbourne at the brain body contract event. Hopefully we can find a new mthod for regenerating nervous tissue, which has been affected by stroke.

Dr. Huberman, What can you teach us about grants and research methods? I'm curious about the process and ethos through which our information and protocols are filtered. What's in a grant? Who grants the grant? What are the teirs and hallmarks of scientific validity? Scientifically yours, Mr. Wintczak

At the end of the podcast you can hear how much his voice sounds like Tom segura. Great podcast.

You should invite Dr. Gladys Maestre. She is a revolutionary when it comes to dementia/AD/ADRD related research.

Surprised the doctor didn't talk about the risk of activating cancer after an MRI scan.

can you please list all the tools to improve brain health & health in like the description for people who don't want to learn all the science and just improve thier health

I always love this podcast! 😍 Also great to have the opportunity to listen to Dr Steinberg!

I'm curious about the downsides of statins. My Doctor is recommending I start taking one, but am uncomfortable about the negative aspects.

"I'm 36, and it's too hard for me to memorize. When I'm studying, it's not going into my head. Why? What are the best vitamins, and what advice can you offer?" I'm not stressed. I get enough sleep food, i dont smoke, and drinks, but I don't know what happened since when I was in college .

Thank You, Huberman. Your story shows the importance of looking for second opinions.

Eye opening episode. Thank you 🙏 got to make some changes

Hey Andy, you guys didn’t mention anything about intracellular calcium buildup… I was kind of expecting you would talk about that 😒
