Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast
About this video
Huberman introduces himself as a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine and explains why he launched the podcast after teaching neuroscience on social media and appearing as a guest elsewhere. He describes an unusual format: rather than jumping topic to topic, the podcast will dive deep into individual topics for an entire month at a time, covering what is known and not known and the tools and barriers involved, sometimes solo, sometimes with guests in studio or remotely. Huberman invites listeners to shape the show through comments and upvotes. He defines tools broadly as behavioral practices, things to avoid, nutrition, supplementation, prescription drugs, and brain-machine interface devices. He also introduces Costello, his 90-pound bulldog mastiff, whose snoring listeners will hear in the background.
