How Nature & Other Physical Environments Impact Your Focus, Cognition & Health | Dr. Marc Berman
My guest is Dr. Marc Berman, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago whose research explores how different physical environments—particularly nature and patterns found in nature—can positively impact our ability to focus, our cognitive performance and our mental and physical health. We discuss how our physical environment influences our attention, stress levels and brain and heart health. He explains how even brief periods in nature and exposure to natural images and sounds can restore and improve attentional capacity, reduce mental fatigue and help combat rumination and depression. Whether you live in a city, suburb or rural area, this episode offers simple science-backed strategies for incorporating nature and natural elements into your daily life to positively transform your cognitive ability and mental and physical health.

Essentials: Science of Stress, Testosterone, Aggression & Motivation | Dr. Robert Sapolsky
In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode my guest is Dr. Robert Sapolsky, PhD, a professor of biology, neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford University.
We discuss different types of stress and how our perception of stress as harmful or beneficial largely depends on context. He also explains how testosterone amplifies pre-existing behaviors and tendencies, and he highlights the crucial role of estrogen in supporting brain and body health. We also discuss daily cognitive practices for stress mitigation and how modern life, influenced by social media and complex social hierarchies, shapes our responses to stress.

Control Your Vagus Nerve to Improve Mood, Alertness & Neuroplasticity
In this episode I explain how your vagus nerve—an extensive neural pathway linking your brain and body in both directions—powerfully regulates your mood, digestion, alertness and even certain food cravings, and I explain how you can activate certain vagus nerve pathways to improve your heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of health and longevity. I also explain how to control vagal pathways to enhance your focus and alertness to improve learning and neuroplasticity. And I explain how your vagus nerve controls levels of serotonin in both your gut and brain, impacting your mood and emotional resilience and how to keep that pathway robust.

Essentials: How to Control Your Sense of Pain & Pleasure
In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the sensations of pain and pleasure, explaining how they are sensed in the body and interpreted by the brain as well as methods to control their intensity.
I discuss both the hardwired mechanisms and subjective factors that shape an individual’s perception of pain and pleasure. I also explain why pain thresholds vary from person to person and discuss various treatments for pain management such as acupuncture and supplements. Finally, I explain the role of key neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin in mediating our experience of pain and pleasure.

How to Grow From Doing Hard Things | Michael Easter
My guest is Michael Easter, a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and best-selling author. We discuss how particular daily life choices undermine our level of joy, our sense of purpose, our physical and our mental health and the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly steps we can all take to vastly increase our level of motivation, gratitude and overall life satisfaction. We discuss how effortful foraging for information, undistracted reflection and physical exercise are ways to ‘invest’ and therefore grow our levels of dopamine, energy and motivation, whereas low-friction activities are specifically designed to hijack or diminish them. We also discuss dopamine reward circuitry in the context of how to build and reset one’s energy levels and create a deeper sense of purpose in work, creative pursuits and relationships.

Bio of Huberman Lab
Huberman Lab, an enlightening podcast presented by Scicomm Media. In this podcast, the fascinating world of neuroscience takes center stage as discussions revolve around how the brain and its intricate connections with the body's organs shape our perceptions, behaviors, and overall health.
The podcast also delves into the tools and techniques used to measure and modulate the functioning of the nervous system.
Leading the conversations in Huberman Lab is Dr. Andrew Huberman, a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. Dr. Huberman's research focuses on neural regeneration, neuroplasticity, and various brain states such as stress, focus, fear, and optimal performance. With a distinguished career spanning over two decades, he has consistently published original research findings and review articles in esteemed peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Science, Cell, Neuron, and Current Biology.
Dr. Huberman's expertise has led to his involvement as a regular member of National Institutes of Health review panels and recognition as a Fellow of the McKnight Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts. He also serves as a consultant for technology development companies, professional athletic organizations, and specialized units of U.S. and Canadian Special Operations.
