I would love to see an episode on epigenetics, and some of the work Dr. Joe Dispenza and his colleagues have been working on. Specifically how the human brain/psyche can affect physical health.

To add to this, the study of epigenetics does seem to go a step further in suggesting that the human psyche/brain can have an effect on external circumstances, such as "willing" one's self to succeed, make more optimal life choices, etc. Curious to hear a neuroscientists take on this.

I believe you may have touched on this in a couple interviews you've done, but I would love to hear more of a deep dive by you on the subject

Topic:
-How to stop focusing on negative things or how to worry less about things outside of your control.
-How to manage conflict especially with other people.
-How other people effect us and how we can lessen any negative effects they may have on us/change our relationship to those people. Eg: tensions at work, at home. And maybe how to capitalise on good relationships?

Loved your first episode!

Suggestion: I have noticed a difference in the degree of difficulty between starting a routine that involves physical activity (e.g running, lifting, stretching) and a routine involving mental activity (e.g studying, learning to play an instrument or mentally focusing on something in general). It seems like most physically active people, can train for 2 hours a day, but can't sit down to study for more than 15 minutes. Is this something that is true for most people? Are there "categories" of people based on which kind of activity is easier for them (physical or mental)? Is there even a distinction between physical and mental activity?

Also, recently i was having a discussion with a friend on the topic of social media. I was claiming that they are all based around capturing as much of your attention as possible, by using tricks such as notifications, likes, comments, followers. Basically explaining the Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix. He was adamant on the fact that it has no effect on him and that all his posts and stories,etc is just "for fun". First of all, am i right in my analysis? If yes, how can i make it clear to him and to anyone else i have the discussion with, that there is little chance that you can actually use the app and that most likely the app is using YOU? Also, your commentary on the whole social media industry and what effect they have on peoples mood, concentration ability,etc. would be incredibly interesting.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS are perhaps one the most important subject regarding our health and wellbeing. As a main topic relevant to LIGHT AND HEALTH and your expertise it would be great to discuss the OCULAR NEUROSCIENCE and effects of LIGHT on the PHOTOENTRAINMENT of the CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS. We spend more than 90% of our lives in and about the built environment. What are the most advance tools to monitor and measure our daily light intake and tools to ensure a robust circadian entrainment?

Suggestion for topics:
Learning; with a specific emphasis on foreign language acquisition as an adult.

(And, thank you for deciding to run this podcast - very excited about the upcoming shows, not least with the hope of getting to know Costello!)

AndrewHuberman · Answer 10 · 2025-01-30T21:35:05+0000

Topic suggestion - regarding sleep and the brain. How aging affects sleep and what does that mean for the brain (like getting less sleep) but also about this - second sleep or Biphasic Sleep. It seems like over the last couple years my body really wants to do this.

AndrewHuberman · Answer 11 · 2025-02-02T01:12:03+0000

Hi, Dr. Huberman!

I'd love for you to take a deep dive into the science of the eye and vision. I find it fascinating how the eye, as part of the brain plays a much bigger role than previously thought in our health through timing of light, movement and more. I've also had poor vision since I was born and would love to know about the emerging technologies in the field to correct for dysfunction of the eye and its parts.

Thank you so much for all that you do and for sharing your knowledge with us!
Go science!

Suggestion #2 of 3: Emotional Regulation

* How can you control your emotions in emotionally charged situations?
* Are there ad hoc "hacks" to stop yourself from emotional explosion?
* Are there methods or habits to build up long term serenity and prudence?

I would love to see a discussion about the importance and role that omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA and EPA, play in brain health and function. The difference between fish consumption and fish oil supplementation, etc. Thank you !

Thank you so much for all excellent podcasts. I am a yoga professional and explanation about the different neurotransmitters has made concepts clearer to me. I can’t thank you enough for suggesting Yoga Nidra to people in the section Sleep. You are doing a brilliant job.
Thank you so much

LOL! I never saved my edited post last night. Anyways, as I mentioned there, I was "just saying". Also, Mr B... I was not judging you, I was merely sharing a feeling I got from your name... or maybe as Dr Huberman would say... a "state". ⚡

Ok, you really don't have to read the rest, I'm just having a little playful fun with you (don't we all need more playfulness and fun?- at least I do…).

And Happy New Year to you!!!

Since we are talking about the brain here, I'll share the “story my neurons told me” when I saw your name and read your message.

In my mind when I read your name and I see the picture of a muscly dude staring me down pointing a gun at me, I sense "belligerent" (wants to get into a fight). If that was real, I’d go “fight or flight?”.

I was not judging you, Mr B, it’s me sharing my reaction to your name. I think what happened here is a great example of half the stuff that goes on out there, like people say words, meaning is attached to words and things escalate. I am not saying you and I are escalating, but that’s one way for it to happen:
1) You have fun with your name and avatar (and for you it’s just a name)
2) I see a “vigilante” and tell you what I see
3) You tell me I should not judge your name (but I didn’t)

and so on and so forth.

If we were in a Star Wars type cantina, maybe we’d get into a fight. Or maybe I would just “FLIGHT” LOL!

Also if you use that avatar inside the video-game universe, it has an effect, right? If you use it here, it might have a different effect. I am pretty sure (another assumption LOL) you are waaaaay younger than me, so that’s another thing…

End of story. Sorry for being soooo long-winded and thank you for reading if you did read the whole thing :-)

I really look forward to Prof. Huberman’s tools for “de-escalating” our internal conflicts.

I started trying the “panoramic” view, if I feel my blood boiling, although I have ADHD and I mostly need sharp focus and staying on task for my work. So I’m trying the “long inhale, quick exhale” pumping in the morning. Then I also need the “calm down” breathing, cause I get anxiety when I see I am running out of time and I haven’t accomplished anything… and then I freeze and I get super-tired...so now I have to do the "calm down" technique AND the "energizing" one at the same time?

Take care Mr B! ☺️

:-)

commented Feb 13 by Silviopina (100 points)

Hello again!

I am so sorry if you thought I edited my post on purpose after you commented on it. That would be extremely insensitive. I thought I never properly posted the bit about the breathing. So then I did not include it in my second save, cause I had already written enough. Something had got “stuck” in my You Tube, maybe cache working on two different tabs and I lost the comment (at least from my end)…
Read on only if you want to know what I meant (it’s quite long, heheh)

:-)

Here goes: I said something like “no deep breaths for you, Mr B”, right? “Just long exhaaaales” I did not mean to be hurtful, or that you should not take deep breaths in general, just not in case your goal was to calm down.

It was based on something new I just myself have learned from Prof Huberman: (anyone please correct me if I understood wrong). Here goes (I am paraphrasing) :

“When you are stressed or angry, the last thing you should do is take a deep breath (inhale). That would simply add to your adrenaline. You should instead take a long slow exhale. That will help calm you down”.

I myself often get agitated and revved up for what appears to be “wrong reasons”, like super-hyper and excited (later I crash with zero energy). You don’t know how many times people have told me to “relax” and “take a deep breath now” GRRR!!! That always makes me MORE mad. So I was really comforted to hear from Prof. Huberman that it’s not a “deep breath” I need, but a “very slow exhale”, preferably through my nose.

So like… that’s what I meant to say to you. I empathized with you and mentioned this “Huberman tool”.

Ok I PROMISE I will shut up now. I just wanted you to know that deleting my suggestion to not take a deep breath was unintentional.

You take care, Peace and all good things to you too!

AndrewHuberman · Answer 16 · 2025-02-14T20:06:23+0000

"The basics" toolkit. You've said there are things you consider to be "the basics" or the foundation that most people should do daily (sunlight early and late in the day but not past 11pm, etc) and build from. These have been talked about in most interviews of you, but I'd love to see you concentrate on those things for the first month. I suggest people seek out interviews if you all the time and having a thorough treatment of all the basics in one place to direct them to would be great.
