The Huberman Lab podcast is hosted by Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the department of neurobiology, and by courtesy, psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. The podcast discusses neuroscience and science-based tools, including how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health, as well as existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works.
Huberman has made numerous significant contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function, and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills, and cognitive functioning. He is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan Award, given to the scientist making the most significant discoveries in the study of vision, in 2017.
Work from the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford School of Medicine has been published in top journals, including Nature, Science, and Cell, and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American, Discover, and other top media outlets.
In 2021, Dr. Huberman launched the Huberman Lab podcast. The podcast is frequently ranked in the top 10 of all podcasts globally and is often ranked #1 in the categories of Science, Education, and Health & Fitness.
Dr. Christopher Gardner discusses the impact of various diets on health, including ketogenic, vegetarian, vegan, and omnivorous approaches, emphasizing that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't exist and that eliminating processed foods is key. They explore protein needs, plant vs. animal proteins, and the importance of fiber and low-sugar fermented foods for gut health. The conversation also covers food allergies and the impact of diet on gene expression, offering actionable, data-supported advice for healthier eating.
This episode explores the science of hearing and balance, explaining how these systems influence learning and focus. It covers topics such as how the ears process sound, the effects of binaural beats and white noise on brain states, and techniques to improve auditory learning. It also discusses the vestibular system's role in balance and how specific exercises can enhance both balance and mood.
