Host Profile
Long solo episodes with deep science dives. Guest episodes feature researchers. Heavy on protocols — specific, actionable, dose-and-timing advice. Huberman synthesizes papers into practical recommendations.
Episodes
Dr. Dacher Keltner — UC Berkeley psychology professor, author of Awe. The science of awe: what triggers it, how it changes the brain, and why it makes the self feel small (which is uplifting, not deflating). Fifteen-minute awe walks once a week for eight weeks measurably reduce distress and increase positive emotions. Awe is the emotional component of meaning.
Dr. Marc Breedlove — neuroscientist on how hormones during prenatal development shape brain structure, sexual orientation, and behavior. The science of why people are who they are — not choice, not environment alone, but prenatal hormone exposure.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick — now on her FOURTH podcast in our system (Ferriss #819, DOAC, Huberman). Vitality and health protocols. When the same researcher says the same thing across four different shows with four different hosts, it is not promotional — it is consistent. Exercise, sauna, fasting, and targeted supplementation.
Dr. Richard Davidson — the world's leading meditation researcher. Has scanned monks with 60,000+ hours of meditation. The key finding: 5 minutes a day for 30 days measurably reduces depression, anxiety, and stress. Changes brain wiring — structural connectivity between prefrontal cortex and parietal regions. "The after is the before for the next during."
Dr. Alex Marson — UCSF immunologist. Using CRISPR to reprogram immune cells to fight cancer. The frontier of immunotherapy: engineering the patient's own immune system to target and destroy cancer cells with precision.
