LIVE EVENT Q&A: Dr. Andrew Huberman Question & Answer in Seattle, WA

About this video

This recording of a live question-and-answer session in Seattle follows Huberman’s lecture The Brain Body Contract. Asked about his most-used protocol, Huberman says he genuinely does morning sunlight viewing, views the sunset in the evening, and does 10 to 30 minutes of a Non-Sleep Deep Rest protocol every day, usually in the early afternoon or after a poor night’s sleep. He explains that he coined that term to embrace practices such as Yoga Nidra without deterring people. Huberman also discusses dopamine and phone use, describing baseline and peak dopamine and arguing that mindless scrolling depletes the drive for that activity, and he recommends taking phone breaks of at least an hour. He closes by previewing planned episodes on grief, language and music, exercise, OCD and other topics.
