The Huberman Lab podcast

Alcohol affects your brain, body, and mood—even in moderate amounts. I cover how it damages cells, impacts hormones, gut, and brain, and why some people are more prone to addiction. Plus, science-backed tips to ease hangovers and make smarter drinking choices.

My guest this episode is Dr. Peter Attia, M.D., who trained at Stanford University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Hospital and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Attia is the host of The Drive podcast and is a world expert on behavioral approaches, nutritional interventions, supplementation and pharmacological techniques to improve lifespan, healthspan and athletic performance. We discuss how best to evaluate your health status using routine blood work, body scans and regular tests of physical strength and endurance.

Take the science to the next level: My private channel, JNeuroNotes, offers detailed study notes and exclusive summaries of the Huberman Lab podcasts, turning long episodes into clear action plans.

In this episode, I describe a comprehensive toolkit consisting of behavioral and supplement-based tools that you can customize to enhance the quality, duration and impact of your sleep. This has an enormous positive impact on your overall health and daytime functioning, brain, hormones and immune system. I teach you how to effectively harness light (and darkness), temperature, food, exercise, caffeine, supplements, and digital devices in order to fall asleep faster, stay deeply asleep longer and overall, and achieve better quality sleep.

My guest this episode is Dr. Emily Balcetis, PhD, Professor of Psychology at New York University (NYU). Dr. Balcetis’ research focuses on how our perception of the world, particularly our visual perceptions, influences our level and persistence of motivation, how we conceptualize goals, actual goal achievement and our emotional state as we pursue goals. Dr. Balcetis explains how to best visualize and overcome challenges in pursuit of larger, complex goals.

In this episode, I explain the biology, symptoms, causes and types of bipolar disorder (sometimes called bipolar depression). I discuss neuroplasticity and how the brain normally regulates mood, energy, and perceptions; then, I contrast that with the biology of bipolar disorder, which is characterized by extremes of energy and mood, e.g., mania and depression.

This text consists of excerpts from an episode of the Huberman Lab Podcast, hosted by Andrew Huberman, featuring guest Dr. Charles Zuker, a professor from Columbia University. The discussion centers on the biology of perception, particularly taste perception and sugar craving. Dr. Zuker, a leading expert, explains how the nervous system converts external stimuli into sensory experiences, detailing the five basic tastes (sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami) and debunking the myth of a "tongue map." The conversation also explores the neural circuits of taste, how perception can be individually varied, and the profound influence of the gut-brain axis on sugar craving and wanting, differentiating it from the immediate sensation of liking. The episode also includes typical podcast segments like sponsor advertisements and calls for audience engagement.
