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.

There is a lot of rambling and talking over the expert guest. I want to hear what the expert in the field has to say but Huberman feels the need to interrupt and direct the light back onto himself. While I don’t doubt that Huberman is knowledgeable in his field I would prefer to hear directly from his guest experts on other subjects. Instead Huberman projects this need to be an expert in all fields, which looses credibility with me. I found it incredibly frustrating to listen to and needed to fast forward through a lot.
I enjoy the variety of guests and how it’s not just 1 topic all the time. The questions are insightful and not shallow. I enjoy listening while walking, great way to get my steps in while being engaged. My only complaint is that he can be a little too politically correct at times (especially when it comes to women, always making sure not to exclude or offend).
I’ve been listening to the episodes about women’s health, and it’s so useful and interesting to get this kind of in-depth and scientific information right from the mouths of people who are experts in the field. I also love how it’s not patronizing. They speak in medical terms a lot, but Huberman often pops in and asks people to define complex terminology his listeners might not be totally familiar with. Very casual and very inclusive. Thank you, Dr. Huberman!
I love your podcast, but please stop shying away from controversial issues related to science when there is a strong scientific consensus. Areas such as vaccination, sunscreen, climate change, have strong evidence leading to a consensus among the majority of scientists in the associated field. To not take a stand on these types of issues does a disservice to the public understanding of science which your podcast attempts to enrich. And if you have an alternate or controversial stance on one of these topics, state that and make your case. But please don’t censor your content out of fear of the backlash from conspiratorial or politically motivated zealots.
The alpha school episode is so wildly an advertisement for an expensive private school, while putting down public education for not doing the “right” thing for students. Comparing public education outcomes to the students who have to apply to alpha school is so ignorant and frankly shows how disconnected this host is from reality.
I tuned into some episodes based on the compelling people he interviewed. But reading about how he treats the people in his life (Google it ) made me realize that much of the self-improvement appeal of his podcast is hollow. You can’t cold-plunge away your tendency to treat other people as expendable resources. Not to mention, he should do better to stick to his lane (neuroscience) — seems the quest for fame and money loosened his restraint on that front.
