Would be neat if there was huberman lab tank tops I'd wear

Hi Andrew. If possible, you should try to get Dr Gabor Mate on your show. I think a conversation between the two of you would be really great content for people to hear.
Thanks for all your great content!
Rancid is awesome too

Imperial College London and Johns Hopkins University, top tier universities as you'll know, have an outstanding safety record in psychedelic therapy research because they screen participants properly. Please summarise accurately on who is at risk, to what degree, and in what context.
Psychedelic therapy is often successfully utilised in relation to addiction, and is not significantly associated with causing addiction. The notion that using psychedelics "too much" causes psychological harm is vague, and I'm sure you can see why the topic is too important for such casual assessments. What constitutes too much, and for who? What percentage of study participants experience harm, and why?
Of course, health protocols and psychedelic integration are essential for optimising wellbeing and the utility of psychedelic experiences, but the psychedelic experience offers the chance for an individual to understand their challenges firsthand, rather than via the external, framework-based interpretation of another person.
Best wishes

Dr. Can you do more on how to overcome depression. Having ADHD mixed with depression is like picking up piece from a puzzle. I battle with this every day...

Answer 2

I used to think healing the mind meant fixing what was "broken" in me. But this conversation helped me see something deeper: our mind doesn’t need fixing it needs understanding. For years, I carried silent pain. Smiled in public, collapsed in private. Therapy helped, but I still felt like no one truly saw the inner storms. Until I stumbled upon this content. Dr. Deisseroth doesn’t just talk science he brings compassion into it. It reminded me that our mind is not the enemy. It's a messenger. And every symptom anxiety, burnout, numbness is the psyche’s way of whispering: listen to me. I paired this insight with the tools I found in Instant Deep Relief from Manifest Zen especially the body-based exercises that helped me feel safe in my own skin again. If you’re lost, overwhelmed, or quietly battling something no one sees… start here. Understanding is the first step. Healing follows.

Body mind connection bro

Acquiring information about something isn’t the same as understanding it.

Mental health decline is increasing, not decreasing.

I would strongly recommend his book "Projections" to you! Like you said, his perspective on psychiatry is built on deep empathy, curiosity and scientific understanding.
 It's great prose also: he wanted to become a writer in his youth, that talent clearly shows! Moved me to tears several times. A truly exceptional practitioner, very wise, very humble.

Here are some words from the prologue, where he compares human neurology to the principles of waeving - maybe it suits you: "The inner workings of the mind give form to these threads - creating a framework within us, upon which the story of each individual can come into being. Personal grain and color arise from the cross-threads of our moments and experiences, the fine welt of life, embedding and obscuring the underlying scaffold with intricate and sometimes lovely detail. Here are stories of this fabric fraying in those who are ill - in the minds of people for whom the warp is exposed, and raw, and revealing." Karl Deisseroth, Projections

Answer 3

Huberman's breakdown of the circadian system really helped me understand why I was waking up at 3am every night. I've been exploring how emotional stress ties into this too — such an underrated piece of the sleep puzzle.

Answer 4

The discussion between Dr. Karl Deisseroth and Dr. Huberman has to be one of the best podcasts I have listened to regarding brain science and the practical functioning of the brain and its many abnormalities and ailments. I can't wait for Dr. Huberman to bring Dr. Deisseroth back for more discussions on brain science

Helps me so much to understand...

Answer 5

Dr Karl Deisseroth is an absolute gem! Gotta reread his beautifully written book again

Answer 6

Really would love to see Dr deisseroth again on your podcast. He was and still is a huge inspiration in my life, what an amazing human

Answer 7

How weird that I discovered Huberman by reading ASAP science. This is way more my type of zero-cost info. Awesome channel.

Answer 8

Your podcasts really help make me feel mentally strong and are helping guide me to having success in college. I just feel stable and level headed after listening because there is so much awesome detail and info in these and I carry it with me throughout my day. Thank you

Answer 9

Thank you and Dr. Deisseroth for this conversation. He has the knowledge and this kind, real human character.
I would love to see Dr. William Walsh from the Walsh Research Institute in your podcast.
Generally, big thank you for your most important work with podcasting. I’ve learned a lot so far!

Nice

Answer 10

Excellent interview. Mind related science is hard to quantify but this guy is a true professional and kept it neutral.

Answer 11

Thank God, I hope everyone can heal and learn to be better. ❤

Answer 12

I've spent years trying to manifest my dream life but it never seemed to work for me. tried so many methods but still felt stuck. My friend and I heard about a book called Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley on a podcast, and I was hesitant at first. But after reading just a few chapters, I realized how much I was missing. Her approach is so different from anything I’ve ever tried. It’s not just about thinking positive, it’s about aligning with real-world actions that bring your desires into reality. Since then, I’ve manifested opportunities I never imagined possible, and my mindset has shifted completely❤️

Answer 13

I always look forward to your podcasts. I learn so much. Thank you Dr Huberman!

Answer 14

Dr. Huberman, could you explore the link between TMJ, cervical spine dysfunction, and stored trauma? I’m especially curious how specific vertebrae might impact things we don’t usually associate with the spine—like swallowing, breathing, or focus. Your work means a lot—thank you.

Answer 15

Taking psychedelics helped me with depression and anxiety so far, I’m getting to know the real me at 19. Before I was functioning on low battery especially socializing was just too much, isolation and living in the virtual world is how I spent all my years doing. Depression is so real it was my body trying to tell me that it is not happy. so I will be my own therapist.

Answer 16

Thank you for your incredible contribution to sharing science in an open, inclusive and professional manner. You are one of the leading educators in this space. Curiosity opens doors, access to information like this is relevant and trusted and often the “passage to a better future.

Answer 17

Thank you for everything you do. Your podcasts are very helpful.

Answer 18

This looks like an old recording … I love this guy Karl :)

Answer 19

Fascinating content. Dr. Deisseroth's insights on emerging therapies and technologies offer real hope for advancing mental health treatment.

Answer 20

The full podcast with Karl was one of your best. You should definitely do a follow up to see how things have progressed in the two major fields he pioneered.

You should also get Feng Zhang who helped him develop Optogenetics and then went on to be one of the biggest figures in CRISPR
