There is so much information that has been sitting with academic and medical communities for decades and Huberman is giving it to the public and changing lives. Incredible work.

1 I am not a native speaker of English and not much training in science, but these talks are delivered so well that I understand so easily and learn a lot. 2 how come these precious knowledge and interesting talks are all free? It’s a blessing to have access to them. Thank you Andrew. Loving sciences and scientists.

Dr Hubberman changed my life. Because of his teachings I practice yoga nidra everyday, don’t have bright lights at home, get up early each day to absorb the early son rays, and practice intermittent fasting for over 4 years now. I’m 45 looking like 35. I believe my ADHD has been reduced immensely, and my overall demeanor changed favorably. My family and I are deeply impacted by this wonderful man.

I think I speak for everyone when I say Andrew Huberman is an absolute blessing to the world

Andrew doesn’t know how much he is helping so many people …. with proper knowledge!!

Sleep has become a top priority for me and my mental health. Once I made it a priority, it made a world of difference. I'm so glad for this episode!

For lack of a better term, Gina was an absolutely delightful guest that brings a true passion, insight, and wisdom regarding a rather difficult topic to understand. Thank you so very much for introducing me to such a tremendous source of information. Feel free to geek out as needed - it's much appreciated.

Dr. Poe is so peaceful, wise, and humble! What an absolute wealth of information! PLEASE have her back again soon!

I don't know what I've been doing until this point, but I take an hour long walk every day, and since I just discovered your channel, I always listen to it on Spotify. The amount of proper scientific information that is explained in such a manner that even a simple guy like myself can understand it and learn from it is simply invaluable! Thank you so much for your content!

I think one of the things I love about Huberman's podcast is that he finds these scientists who are publishing great work, then has them come in and explain the work in a way that the layman can understand them. I'm never going to read all of these academic publications (often because they're behind expensive paywalls which sucks, but I digress), and even if I did, I'm not sure that I would be able to turn the salient points into actionable steps. Thank you Dr. Huberman for being a potent force for good! I would have watched/listened to an interview twice as long with Dr. Poe - both of you are such fascinating speakers.

At 1:05 I felt a huge amount of compassion for people suffering from PTSD. The neurological reason supporting/ causing/ setting up the body to have no choice but to emotionally replay the moments after the traumatic experience as though we are back in time (because those neurons are) … wells up my heart to better understand, appreciate, and empathize with the feelings they have no choice but to feel because that’s the neurological pathways they live through. Omg 🤯

I don’t know whether you will ever know this Andrew but my life has changed completely since I began listening to your podcasts. My life was stuck in between the self help books or motivational videos. When I came across this channel on KZfaq in January this year. I thought that may be these podcasts are specifically designed for me😅 but yes almost everyone is going through the same. Whether it was on dopamine, sleep, memory, stress etc. Every podcast just blew my mind away like I was telling myself that yes this is what I was looking for. Thank you Andrew , thank you.

I always enjoy Dr. Andrew’s podcasts. Some of them are truly a life-changer for me. This interview was an eye opener because I used to be a night owl for so many years. I’d stay up until 2:00 am, waking up around 9:00 am or later. I’d been always feeling so lazy, sluggish, tired, low energy level, and feeling depressed but when I decided to change my daily routine and started waking up at 5:00 - 6:00 am in the morning everyday, my entire life has drastically shifted. I have a lot more energy, I feel motivated, positive, and productive everyday. I only sleep about 6 hours but I’ve been perfectly fine for several months now. I realized the importance of following the natural rhythm of the sun & earth if I want to be at optimal health physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Dr. Andrew Huberman, Thank you so much for all that you do. 🙏🏼💗

After following ALL of your suggestions and purchasing great blackout curtains, I finally have been getting great sleep. Even after waking up at 3 am for a bathroom break (without turning on the light) I go right back to sleep, something I've been unable to do for 20 years. One odd side effect for the first few weeks were feelings of depression. I can only assume my brain is rewiring after two decades of sleep deprivation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕. I tell EVERYONE I know about your podcasts.

Thank you for having Dr. Poe. She was a pleasure to listen to. Aside from great knowledge, she has an unusually pleasant voice.

Great podcast Andrew. It must have been a pleasure to host a woman like Gina who is not only brilliant at what she does but also talks about her work in such a joyful and passionate manner. I rarely see people smile as much as she does and her smiles seem to be spontaneous and genuine.

Hey Andrew, I have a request for a new topic. If you would, could you look into Dyslexia and exactly it functions. I know a big part of it has to do with the distance of your synapses and how the brain is wired. I personally have it and it's been a wild ride learning about it. The newer knowledge and understanding we have is incredible and our schools are unbelievably unprepared for children born with this. I'm 38 years old and only just now able to look back and grasp my past because of how much I know about my present and its effects. My wife is a special education teacher and is pursuing Orton Gillingham training because it is currently the best methods for helping those with dyslexia. Anyways, I figured as a neuroscientist this might send you down an awesome rabbit hole! Hope to see this as a podcast one day. Thank you for everything you do.

As someone who struggles with insomnia I feel absolutely fascinated by sleep podcasts. Thanks you for educating people, we really need the help and understanding of how to help ourself.

Dr Huberman is using his position and knowledge in the best way possible - This is the kind of content the internet was created for. Real practical information with science based advice. Kudos to you sir!

I really loved this interview, Dr Gina Poe was wonderful. Would love a part 2 with her. Also interesting to hear more about the differences with women and sleep as it can be impacted by their ester cycle, menopause and PCOS.

As a mental health practitioner this podcast has given me more insight into how the brain and sleep effect trauma in real terms than anything else I have ever heard.. outstanding And thank you both.

Having been a complex trauma sufferer since way before psych 'knew' it existed, my gratitude for how the advances in neuro-science, and your ever increasingly helpful dissemination of its knowledge, grows by the day. Just removing the shame some psych methodologies heap on (treatment resistant, transference/ counter theories, the concept of 'will'') from sufferers ' emotional state and thought processes is huge. All done with your signature deep humility , good humor, and respect. Thank you so much for your work. Each time I listen I learn something freeing that allows me to live a richer, more nuanced, more meaningful life...at 67. Special thanks to Dr. Poe. Even the soothing sound of your voice, positively reinforces the important and life changing message you have to share. Pax +

Hey Gina Poe you are so amazingly smart, and you are so passionate about sleep science 😴 Way cool 😎 to learn from you! Thank you Andrew for have such a great passionate scientist on your show! Thank you both for sharing your knowledge with the world 🌎

All those guests which doing research about sleep impact to our daily basis has so calming voices, listening this pod you can fall asleap easily, just like I did with Matthew Walker's podcast.

Andrew deserves 50 million subscribers, seriously. He's doing so much for Humanity

Phenomenal episode, Andy! Thank you for hosting Dr. Gina Poe. She was great to listen to, and the science she shared further cemented the reasons to stay commitment to a regular routine.

Please, please do an interview on Eastern Medicine (TCM, specifically). I'm a doctoral researcher adjacent to that field and the connections between epigenetics, mitochondrial chemistry, metabolics, nutrition, etc. are phenomenal. The herbal chemistry and understanding of our connections to the earth, seasons, and circadian cycles is so in line with many of our new scientific knowledge. It is fascinating and should be better understood by all.

Can she please get her own podcast? Loved listening to her!

Always love being a fly on the wall in a room with two super smart people. 😍

Thank you Dr Huberman for all the amazing information you're sharing with the world. Can you please do an episode about Complex PTSD? That would help a lot of people

WOW! I am so blessed to be listening and watching this video Dr Huberman, been watching for about a year. Making some real changes starting with quitting my anxiety meds and developing more natural healthier lifestyle. Esp. sleep habits. I love Dr Poe she's an angel. I realized the years I spent being an night owl are hurting me now. I also take care of my mom the past ten years, who has Alzheimer's. Real bummer. Its an honor to care for her we've gotten so close in the more recent month. And my dad has Asperges, he's high function and really helps mom a lot. Yeah, keep me in your prayers. thanks so much for letting me share.

I really appreciated that question (towards the end) on sleep and addiction. I’ve been trying to end an eating disorder (bulimia) and one of the hurdles I keep encountering is that if I don’t binge/purge I struggle to fall and stay asleep. This is giving me an added perspective on what the problem might be 🙏

Just when I thought I've heard everything we know about sleep, I am delighted and excited to learn more. Thanks so much to you and your team for putting out such interesting information on a weekly basis. Love my Mondays!

At 33:18 Dr. Huberman mentions how he’s a Dad, and it occurred to me with a smile that not only is he a brilliant scientist and podcaster, but an awesome Dad. Thanks for this great podcast btw! It’s like valuable information gold!

Dr Huberman, you’re a national treasure. Your content is award worthy.

Gotta say this, Dr Huberman's fandom are the most kind and respectful community

Really appreciated your carefully inserted PSA about bulldogs, their apnea and the genetic/health disadvantages we have bred into them. This appreciation is in addition to that which already exists for all of your content! Signed, a woeful bulldog-loving veterinarian

I never get enough of learning about sleep! Lack of sleep is what led me to Huberman Lab in the first place. I very much enjoyed learning from Dr Poe! Also her hair is so cool!!!

I LOVE that Dr Poe stated that she is a Christian and uses prayer when yoga was mentioned! Many of us Christians do not practice yoga due to it being part of a religious practice from a non-Christian religion.

One never hear too often how important sleep is, meditation and mindfullness. Thank you for the gift. And thank you for the books list you passed on earlier on another episode. Those books are life changing and are giving me the education I was yearning for.

Andrew please do a episode/series on skin health specifically and best protocols for skin health and best forms of moisturisers etc for male/female would be greatly appreciated 🙌🏻

The information from the Huberman Lab podcasts is so incredibly useful and this specific one and especially the part about PTSD was mindblowing to me! Having worked as a physician (neurologist) with refugees of whom many suffer from PTSD, I feel like sending this to all my psychiatric colleagues and also psychotherapists I know (who can prescribe antidepressants in clinical settings under supervision in Germany)! It’s still so common practice to prescribe antidepressants for PTSD and we should rethink our treatment strategies asap! Thank you so much 🙏🏻!

I have listened to every single podcast. I really enjoy your podcasts on sleep. I used to have difficulty with sleep and took supplements. Except for B-12 and D-3, I now take no supplements, not even for sleep. What helped me most was the information on exposure to the sun at dawn and at dusk. I now do this every day. I also go out wearing shorts mid-day to get some melatonin absorbed into my skin. My diet is plant-exclusive with no added salt, oil or sugars, including refined carbs. Also, I do not consume alcohol, tobacco or other substances. I think the clean diet (no processed food) along with the light exposure and regular movement/exercise has really helped my sleep and energy levels. I routinely wake before my alarm clock and am sometimes surprised by how much the amount of sleep I need appears to have reduced while my energy levels seem to have increased. I am in my late 40's, so I was surprised to see how much being in sync with the Circadian rhythms and light impacted my sleep quality and overall energy. (The other factors were already in place, so I do attribute the shift to synching with the circadian rhythms and to the consistent exposure to dawn/dusk light.) I liked that this show talked about lucid dreaming. I have had one lucid dream. I knew I was dreaming, and I wanted to get out/wake up. I didn't not like it. I am really not interested in having another one of those experiences. Would you do a show on the liver and the impact of processed foods and supplements on it? I think of Robert Lustig who has said, "protect the liver, feed the gut" and now have concerns about using supplements unnecessarily because of how they could potentially affect the liver and contribute to NAFLD.

What an amazing interview with a beautiful and insightful human ♥️ Dr Poe is obviously highly intelligent and educated but has such a humble, calming presence. Great experience listening to this podcast, thank you ⚘️

Another great episode, and Dr. Gina Poe is just such a pleasure to listen to - I love her inflection and the way she passes information, it's clear her heart is in her work! As a lifelong terrible sleeper, it's really fascinating to hear the ins and outs of what happens during sleep, what crucial elements there are to sleep and patterns, and to bring in so many other tidbits that you talk about in other podcasts! This may get lost in the comments (and even in this lengthy comment), but I have been diving into epigenetics and genetic predisposition and would love an episode about that.

Dr. Poe is equally informative, engaging, and calming! What an awesome candidate for NSDR narration

The information regarding PTSD and sleep has really given me some insight as to why my wife has trouble sleeping. I greatly appreciate you and Gina for this podcast.

I can’t wait to listen to the episode after I get home from work. Thank you Dr. Huberman & guest!

Knowledge is power. I am incredibly thankful for this power you give us in these podcasts Dr. Huberman 💛

Andrew, please can we continue to number each podcast for citation purposes. The wealth of information and its effect in my personal life has been amazing and I love referencing your episodes in my writing. Thanks

This was one of the best episodes so far. Absolutely fascinating the whole way through. Never heard anyone explain the mechanisms present in trauma so well. Thank you Dr. Gina Poe!

I think this is one of your very best pod casts. Thank you both!😊🙃

Dr. Huberman! You are a treasure! I have been watching/listening to you for a few months and have learned so much! I know that you don' expect it but I paid for a premium subscription for the year as a way to support your important work and to thank you!

Just asking for clarification on the matter of regular sleep times and growth hormone release: Does going to sleep EARLIER than usual negatively impact this release in the same way, is it completely fine or something inbetween? Thanks for always putting the most valuable tools imaginable in our hands for free.

I’d love to hear more about antidepressants seeing how common they are becoming with my generation. With the rise of anxiety and depression as well would we can do to lower the effects of these conditions and how maybe to substitute for the medication

Whose mondays better because of andrew hubermans podcast ?

The quality of this YT channel is absolutely unparalleled. I've been using KZfaq as the main source of information for many years but never has there been anything so high quality as this channel. It's impossible to express in words how much this has helped me and and everyone else. I hope that this channel will be around for as long as possible to keep providing us with the tools to help us make the best decisions.

I just love your podcasts and feel so fortunate to have found them. I love science and how our brains work. Thank you!

Absolutely one of the best guests you’ve had. An expert who could really hone in on the most clinically salient applications of an otherwise dense topic. Love to hear from women scientists, Dr. Huberman 👍👍

Sleep is the Foundation of HIgh-Performance and our overall well-being. Take this information into your everyday practice to enhance learning, Focus and state management! Another fantastic Episode! 🎧

Fascinating insights into how sleep impacts our memory and emotions. Thanks for this podcast!

Thanks for this doing this podcast. If you have Dr. Poe return to the podcast I would love to hear from her about how persons (such as myself) who are suffering from PTSD can utilise sleep to overcome it or how to improve sleep while suffering PTSD. Thanks again, Dr. Huberman!

Thank you so much for all your incredibly enlightening podcasts, Dr. Huberman! I was so glad to see Dr. Poe as one of your guests. I especially appreciated her sharing about transcendental meditation and prayer as a way to help clear the mind.

It's awful how schools insist on start tines that are so early in light of the information that shorting sleep can affect development.

Andrew, you are simply amazing. Monday’s are the new black because of you. Thank you 🙏🏻

Fascinating. The Blue Spot & clearing the thumb drive. You can absorb it on a rather artistic level. Dr Poe is an amazing teacher.

Absolutely. Been getting between 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep, and it's been a complete game changer. 💪😎💤

I love your videos Prof . I Hope someday you will dedicate an episode on subliminal messages, isochronic tones and binaural beats with your valued expertise on neuroscience.

I LOVED this interview, really beautiful work and fascinating work. I think I smiled more listening/watching this one than any other. Really delightful.

the clarity of explanation Dr. Poe exhibits is just point on

I keep coming back to this particular practice when I’m off yoga for a bit and I want to gently get back in. Thank you so much for this gentle guidance 🙏

I love how sleep is literally THE foundation for everything. Bad sleep -> bad day. Good sleep -> good day Thank you, Andrew! ❤

Long live Huberman Lab!

So many good vibes. How can a discussion be that ridiculously awesome ? ! ? Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful day.

AMAZING.What a enriching episode.Dr. Poe's research, Humbleness and positive attitude made this episode one of the top hits🙌💪🏽💜👍🧠

Recently discovered this channel and I’m absolutely hooked! Always such interesting topics! Thank you for helping and educating so many people. I love science 🤓

Eat, Sleep, Huberman

This is extremely insightful and now makes me want to hear about the correlation between sleep and spirituality. Because there are a number of people that have dreams and such events then happen in real life. Anyway, this episode has nudged me to now hold my sleep more sacred and just value it. Thank you Dr. Huberman and Dr. Joe. You guys rock!

Thanks a million to have Dr Gina Poe, she has so much to offer! I love it! What a great combination you two sharing neuroscientific knowledge to the world!

So much great information! I would love to hear your take on managing stress in the academic/learning environment - so many of my students are overwhelmed and stressed with the pressure they put on themselves, it seems to really impact their learning. It would be a fantastic resource to direct my students to (adult learner at the college/university level).

Such a great episode! Thank you again! You guys came really close to it, but I would love to hear what Gina (and also Andrew) has to say about sleep paralysis.

No matter how long his podcasts are, I always listen to every detail. Having access to this educational information free of cost is amazing.

Just caught this episode with Dr. Poe. Terrific! My wife and I are in our middle sixties. Several comments in the podcasts triggered our desire to learn more about brain function during sleep for older adults. Like many boring boomers (my wife and I qualify) we now have the time to focus on becoming physically, mentally and spiritually healthier. We have come to understand how important sleep is for our health. We certainly can't be alone in this interest.

Good morning class, this is so timely after my struggles with insomnia for so long

Great stuff as always Andrew! Would love a full episode on sunlight, all of its pros to its cons, how it can power us and how it can kill us :)

I am so grateful to all the scientists for their hard work. Dr. Andrew is right. We physicians implement into practice the results of their research. New tools ,tecknics,new understanding,new mechanism of action,new pharmacy all this enormous armamentarium is given to us by these humble and talented scientists to help people.

I loved, loved, loved this! So very informative, I learned why some things have worked for me over the yrs., like going to bed on time and training myself to rise without an alarm clock. I learned soooooo much!💖💗

Hi Dr. Huberman, the red pill you took for sleeping should be made of Spine Date Seed/Sour jujube seed/Suan Zao Ren, which is a seed from a type of small and sour date and people in China use it for sleep. It is herb based, all natural, and very effective. Hope it helps!

I would love to hear an episode on learning disabilities, specifically dyslexia. I myself am dyslexic and I have read that roughly 20-30% of the population is thought to be dyslexic. I think it would be great to learn more about this and the many advantages that dyslexic people have based on the wiring of their brains. Anyways, I have been a huge fan of your podcast for 6MO and share it with many friends. Thanks for the science and data based information on various topics!

Thank you so much for educating us! You are a blessing!

This is probably the best podcast I’ve ever listened to on sleep. I hope she writes a book to expand on those topics especially on spindles on learning and memories

Great podcast. Only issue I have is saying if someone sleeps a lot or “oversleeps” they could have cancer is a bit much. Shouldn’t scare people like that.

You're an amazing person!

So Grateful for your hosting Dr.Gina Poe. Absolutely fascinating and the manner in which she delivers her intellect allowed the layman to understand. Thank you Andrew, you are helping so many.. I understand now why my own sleep was so disturbed.

Great questions and great podcast. You guys are the best and thankyou for bringing light into our lives.

Wonderful podcast! Fascinating. Unless I misunderstood, Dr Poe said that as we age, the non-REM deep sleep diminishes and even disappears. I’m wondering if she’s referring to those in their 60’s and beyond, or if it’s a gradual process that starts earlier (eg middle age)? I wonder if a podcast could address typical seniors’ issues with sleep and possible mitigation/adaptations to enhance optimal sleep for general health/cognition specific to that age group.

I had a dream Andrew Huberman was at my brithday party - hopefully it will become the truth.

Caveat to teenage sleep. I’m in my 20s and I have sleep apnea. I believe i had it in my teenage years as well. Please make sure your sleep feels restful otherwise there may be an issue.

i like the comment about prayer. I find prayer at night has worked really well to relax my mind and help me get to sleep.

Could you do a video on natural and synthetic NMDA antagonists and how they can help with certain conditions? Ketamine, Memantine, Amantadine, Agmatine, Magnesium and Zinc come to mind! Thank you.
