This is how intelligent people have a conversation. No name-calling, no political potshots, no judgment - just two wonderful minds exploring, learning and teaching. Great stuff
This is incredible, unique content that cannot be found anywhere else. We need more intellectually challenging and deep interviews. I can't wait to read Projections. You're also a brilliant interviewer, thank you so much for this Dr Huberman!
Thank you so much for the kind words of feedback. My guest on this episode is truly in the top 0.1% of scientist alive today, perhaps ever and the work he’s doing is sure to serve humanity in positive ways for the treatment of so many disorders of the mind. It also stands to inform us how the brain works in the healthy situation. I appreciate your interest in science!
@@hubermanlab Your immense respect and appreciation for this man's level of excellence in his field was evidenced by your facial flush when opening this interview. This was a most excellent interview and pretty remarkable that Dr. Deisseroth had time and willingness to share himself with us. I just purchased and can't wait to read the book - Projections: A story of human emotions. On a side note, I would love to someday see you interview Dr. Stuart Hameroff. He is somewhat controversial in that he contends that consciousness originates from quantum states in neural microtubules.
@@katherinecudney9204 hmm, interesting. Haven't heard of Dr. Hammerhoff (sic), or his work. Will definitely be looking him up - sounds fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
@@barbarafairbanks4578 I go by his spelling - one m and two ffs. :-) He is/was an Anesthesiologist and is referred to as a Quantum Consciousness Theorist & Researcher. He along with several others, including physicist Sir Roger Penrose, study consciousness and the "physics of the brain". He was a primary initiator and director of the Center for Consciousness Studies with the University of Arizona. The have a biennial conference in Tucson with the alternate year conference hosted in another country. I find it intriguing. As a student of neuro-psychology, I went to a presentation of his and even got to ask questions (I was way out of my league but he was very gracious).
Once again, you have impeccable timing with the topics you cover. I just started reading the book “Projections” last weekend. I love it. It’s insightful and poetic much like the writing of the late Dr. Oliver Sacks. I find the work each of you are doing so inspiring. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing emerging research in the field of Neuroscience with the collective in a way that is easy to understand and apply to our own lives.
For those of us with central serous retinopathy (or other retinal dysfunction), the section on restoring retina function is just so hope-inspiring. For those of us who struggle with anxiety and depression, so is the rest of this wonderful conversation. Thanks Doc; I can see why you were so passionate about bringing this talk to everyone. Cheers. :-)
Thank you for your feedback Phil. Yes, Dr. Deisseroth is truly next level in terms of his clinical experience and what he’s doing for the treatment of so many diseases including reversal of blindness. It was an honor and pleasure to sit down with him to record this and equally an honor and a pleasure to be able to share his knowledge with the world. Thank you for listening.
A beautiful conversation between two brilliant and compassionate men. Dr. Karl's admission of his fascination with how other people's realities are so different than his own, is remarkable. For many this fact is threatening and disorienting in nature, and contributes to the stigma that many mentally ill people still suffer. Especially in a culture whose primary focus is efficiency and productivity. It is wonderful that both of your complex and beautiful brains are being used in the service of humanity's greater good. We are in desperate need for people like you. Grateful for this ❤ Congratulations on your first guest and a dream come true! 👏
@@Eterrath LOL. Yes, looking at what RU-vid recommends to me before I log in is testament to that. Reggeaton Hits. Crispy French Fries & Cheese Sauce. WTF?
Dr. Drisseroth, you're an incredible writer. So eloquent, poetic and beautiful. Dr. Huberman, you're such a beautiful soul man. Thank you for your contributions and for being you. You've changed my life with your work! I appreciate you!!!
I would buy a huberman tshirt and proudly wear it around town. Like a whoop, or a jeep , when you see another Hubermansky, you gotta give that “nod” bc u know u got a real one across from you
This is absolutely fascinating - thank you so much for inviting Dr. Deisseroth on your podcast! The developments with Channelopsins are incredible. I love hearing about how certain scientific discoveries were made - such a beautiful combination of observation, curiosity, experimentation and determination. I'm curious what are the main causes of disorders of the mind?
Andrew cant thank you enough for bringing such a learned person in his field and starting the show with helping people with schizophrenia understand that there is hope...better treatment options will be there soon....thank you for the talking about it, when everyone discusses mental health -schizophrenia is generally missed out as its so complex(gut-brain axis,immune system,genetics,environment triggers). What a great session this was, so much knowledge and science . Raises my hope with future podcasts throwing light on what has helped and can help people with schizophrenia and other mental health disorders. Way to go Andrew. Perfect way to start guest podcast.
I read Dr. Deisseroth's new book "Projections" and found the language and content to be beautiful and enlightening. He does a wonderful job of weaving his clinical experiences into the context of scientific research and evolutionary biology. I would love to be his patient, though I'm sure the slot would be better used by somebody else. I hope he continues to write and share his insights with us who are laypeople to the internal world of psychiatry.
When Dr. Deisseroth spoke of light-driven plant behaviour, I was reminded of an interesting video I saw, Growing Portraits With Grass. The artists project light onto canvases covered in seed and use the process of photosynthesis to create grass portraits - they're quite beautiful. It's amazing what can be discovered through science!
I would like to remind you, random viewer, that this podcast is already 6 months here, at the RU-vid. Congrats to Dr. Andrew Huberman. He makes the huge impact at the field of Human Biology education. Thanks you, Dr. Huberman.
Dr. Huberman, THANK YOU so much for sharing your scientific knowledge and put it service to the world. I'm a Costa Rican mid-age man, and your podcast is hugely and positevely impacting my life and my family's. You nailed it big time on the structure/format you designed for your podcast. Starting with the 'Why' and 'What' of the topic is absolutely fantastic, as it gives the foundation to really embrace the 'How' (tools to put in practice what the science is telling us). And nothing to say about how cool is to listen to Costello sometimes in the background. Thanks again, God Bless you Doc!
Thank you so very much. I suffered a trauma and could not function in my everyday life. I experienced Derealization- I kept repeating to my family, “ something is wrong with my brain, my vision feels like I’m in a dreamworld!” My doctor admitted me to NY Presbyterian for ECT. It saved my life. Mental illness is getting worse in our world. Thank you both for your dedication to your professions 🌸
I'd love for you to have an interview with ALLAN N. SCHORE! If you're going to talk about these psychiatric Dx, his works exploring neurodevelopment, neurodiversity, neuroplasticity, he's great! And above all: he's got a lot to say on specifically how our upbringing (especially in early years) is demonstrably causative of many of these Dx. His books: • Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self • Affect Regulation and Disorders of the Self • Affect Regulation and the Repair of the Self • The Science of the Art of Psychotherapy
Appreciate all your work and your kind responses, Dr Huberman. Adding to the list, could I request for an interview with Terrence Real and his work on relational therapy, and men's mental health. Of course, it's understandable if your preference of candidate doesn't match. Once again, thank you for this wonderful body of work. You're an inspiration 🙏
So grateful for both of you being willing to bring this work and information out of the labs, clinics, and journals and into the public domain. Gifts to humanity. Namaste
Dearest Andrew Huberman, Thankyou so much for these podcasts. I appreciate All of them! You are feeding humanity with exceptional knowledge and understanding in a wonderfully kind and considerate way. I tell many people that HL is a great date night !😊
These days it takes two days to listen full video. We thought next Monday would be 👂 hearing sense, but you surprised us with Dr Karl. He is a fantastic researcher and has pragmatic view on psychiatric disease. Thank to introduce him. Could we expect more? In future he will teach us in simple language like you about psychiatric disease. I hope Dr Karl will give us time from his busy schedule.
Will you do an episode over what happens to us during & after pregnancy? I’m having my first kid & am terrified amongst other things. Some insight into what’s going on inside my parter & I would be much appreciated & potentially calming. Knowledge is power, I LOVE this podcast & want to thank you for it. It’s incredible & look forward to every episode. Keep it up!
What an awesome guest! I very clearly remember the images of the CLARITY treated brain in National Geographic and being 🤯! That was my first introduction to Karl Diesseroth! What a fruitful life! As a person with a non-verbal autistic son, I wish and pray for your success
This conversation is beautiful, wonderful, very informative and, for some reason, very calming. Thank you big time for doing and sharing this, Prof. Andrew! Thank you for introducing Dr. Karl to me/us.
Word-smith: “For rhetoric as such is not rooted in any past condition of human society. It is rooted in an essential function of language itself, a function that is wholly realistic, and is continually born anew; the use of language as a symbolic means of inducing cooperation in beings that by nature respond to symbols” (Burke, 1969a, p. 43). Thank you both. This podcast has been an amazing companion and felicitous to my Weltanschauung!! A compendium of Telos: Eudaimonia! Deosil, stay sunwise: that is the prosperous course.
“I have great empathy for those that feel that something is contained in them that won’t allow them to focus on what they want to focus on.” ❤ Beautifully said Dr. Huberman
He is young indeed. He has had a meteoric rise to the very top 0.1% of scientists alive today, perhaps ever. He works unbelievably hard for the sake of humanity.
@@hubermanlabhow is the replenishment and inner quiet going for you? I'm going back to pulling away from so much noise and stimulation aka more nature and savoring simplest things of the daily. I find so much refreshment walking in backyard barefooted feeling the softness of grass and the breeze caress my skin, listening to birds and the sounds of leaves swaying. Watching the effects of the wind on tree branches and leaves. Smelling the scent of the air in the moment. Simple nearby treasures
I am 10 minutes in and can already tell this is going to be a great episode. Thanks Dr. Huberman for this podcast, thank you Dr. Deisseroth for being on.
These interviews are so brilliantly executed! The perfect combination of leading edge science and common sense. I am always excited and inspired after watching!!
This was such a pleasure to watch/listen to. Looking forward to tucking into Dr. D’s book. I would love love love to hear an interview with his wife. More conversations with women in neuroscience/medicine/science, please.
"Humanity can be so incredibly amazing!" Beautifully stated the mantra I employ like a shield against the emerging darkness. To remember what we are fighting for.
We r always/absolutely fascinating!! How would working ppl come to know how fascinating our life, our mechanics are. We live in what u share with us, yet remain so unaware, unappreciative of it. I listen & can follow!! Helps me in my efforts to regrow my nervous system after cancer, after hysterectomy!!! Thank u!!
Fantastic interview! I'll listen to this a few times over as it was so rich in content. Thank you, both of you, for your time and sharing all the information you so generously covered. I'm definitely looking forward to more guests on the podcast as you, Andrew, are an awesome interviewer and host. Cheers!
Just started listening to this episode and I haven't been this excited about a topic from you! I can almost guarantee that at least half of your listeners half at least one or more mental illness if not more; (going by statistics of how many people in the world are affected by mental illness). There is no greater gift to us than to be able to learn more about everything there is to know about mental illnesses and how the "non neurotypical" mind works. I wish you had time to do a second podcast going over all the topics you've discussed thus far only this one be directed on neuroscience and protocols that apply to the brain of someone not neurotypical! I've been following you from before you started this podcast and if I could go back in time I would have chose to become a neuroscientist! It is not a career path in my life, only a passion that I study with obsession! I can't get enough of your teachings! I hope that you eventually will cover the topics that I suffer with. The most difficult one being idiopathic hypersomnia - difficult because it has yet to be figured out on it's own but I wish I had you on that research team! Also Major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, panic disorder and ADHD. I hope you also plan on doing an extensive chapter of episodes on the topic of addiction. I know you will be able to offer scientific protocols people everywhere can use! Thank you so much Dr. Huberman! Keep it up! P.S. I live in Pennsylvania but I am available for any research purposes! I am sure you can learn a lot from me and my unique set of cases!
I found the statement that increasing the temperature in the brain can improve autistic symptoms in patients intriguing. My daughter runs track. At one particular meet there was an autistic boy who was completely withdrawn from any kind of social interaction or emotion, however, after running several laps and completing the race, it was like a switch was flipped. He was high-fiving other participants, verbally congratulating others, and expressed immense jubilation. I wonder if the temperature change from the exertion had anything to do with that.
Just thinking out loud here. I have to imagine that it was not due to the temperature in his brain because I think the body has ways to regulate that temperature, imagine getting a fever every time you exert yourself. I think they're talking about changing the temperature by other controlled means. More likely it was the mere fact of running and the hormones etc that are released from this exertion were what created this change. Among many other factors including psychological. He might have been cheered on? Felt more confident etc etc.
I m currently doing my master's in zoology...in India.......I wanna start my research journey after my master in neuroscience n endocrinology......I see ur podcast Dr. huberman... ....they r mind blowing...we don't get to see...such discussions which is really important...very soon can find out...what factors really make us human along with 2n=46.
Dr. Huberman, excellent interview . You are a natural I guess you can add that to just one more of your many many talents. Listening to you and Dr Deisseroth was fascinating. Thank you!!!
This was such an amazing podcast. I’d love to see Dr Dusseroth on here again, and also I’d love to hear more about psychodelics compounds and mental health!
THANK YOU Andrew and Karl for a fascinating conversation! I just started your book today Karl, and I look forward to learning more about your work and the mind as I continue to read it. thank you both again for your time and critical work🙏🤗
First of all thanks Andrew, I wanted to share that I also had this ticks when I was a child I had a voice ticke eye ticks and wasn't treated and as a child I remember it was so damn hard to hide it and was really embarrassing, then at around 14 and up it disappeared but I had a depression couple of years after and it was reactivated, I kept searching and found that I might have had a tourrete and that these ticks might or are in fact induced from an allergy, there's actually a book written about that, I just wanted to share that there is a solution to the parents who have their children suffering or people that suffer from that I hope this message finds you, and to prof Andrew thanks for bringing this up, it takes courage to speak about it at least for me
That was what I happened to me, I didn't recognize the symptoms of depression. Here they are: Mood: Sadness, anxiety, apathy, general discontent, guilt, hopelessness, loss of interest & pleasure in activities, mood swings, overwhelm, indecisiveness. Behavioural: agitation, excessive crying, irritability, restlessness, or social isolation. Sleep: early awakening, excess sleepiness, insomnia, or restless sleep. Whole body: excessive hunger, fatigue, or loss of appetite or poor appetite. Cognitive: lack of concentration, slowness in activity, or thoughts of suicide, repeatedly going over negative thoughts. Weight: weight gain or weight loss. The sooner you know, the sooner you can get treatment.
@@Ashish-nd3xj are u asking me? I have been under psychiatric care for almost 25 yrs. Things occasionally help for awhile, but most of my meds either don't work or have debilitating side effects. After discovering Andrew, I have slowly been implementing his protocols. I started on new psych meds in early 2021, and they seem to be helping way more than previous cocktails. Please join my FB grp to discuss further! It's called The Dr. Andrew Huberman Exchange!
AMAZING conversation...LOVE this! Thank you Drs. Huberman and Deisseroth! This is intellectually stimulating and satisfying, as well as engaging/entertaining. I hope you'll keep doing these videos! What a contribution to society.
Fascinating! Would you also be willing to bring in Dr Lisa Feldman Barrett? She has some ideas about emotions and how our brains work that are absolutely mind boggling to me.
The same way that having a full night sleep, through all the sleep cycles and getting plenty of REM, the psychedelics give you so many visuals that I liken it to an extended REM session, thus providing that much more “relief”. The relief gets rid of stress, the decrease in stress makes you want to not drink alcohol anymore. Not drinking perhaps allows you to take care of yourself more and then life improves overall by small steps in the right direction.
I literally said yay out loud when I seen a new podcast I was so happy!! Like a little kid!!! Man you're better than the magic School bus and Bill Nye the science Guy rolled into one at latchkey... 😆 Merci beaucoup monsieur!!!
super interesting Karl’s body language when addressing the subject of psychedelic treatments. The interview Left me wanting to know more about adhd treatments, very valuable contribution Andrew thank you!
@@hubermanlab You're the best. Each week my life gets a little better. I take your suggestions seriously, and have enough context to adjust them till they work for me.
@@hubermanlab thanks doc. Please also one on people with high hearing sensitivity (with anxiety). Difficulty sleeping when certain sounds are around- snoring, neighbors walking upstairs, honking vehicles etc
I'm halfway through Projections (Dr Deisseroth's book). I have a feeling that he will eventually win a Nobel Prize. What a mind. Thank you so much, Dr. Huberman, for such high quality content. Amazing stuff.
This is fascinating, my son has many tics, but they present separately. His most current one is a grunting tic. Sometimes one will fade off and then a new one will present, but the grunting has re-emerged several times.
Your a great person Andrew u have helped me A lot to understand how things work Ur work is fantastic and thanks for all your efforts to get good science to people
Thank you so much for the incredible content! Dr. Huberman, not that you need me to tell you, but you are doing amazing. I appreciate all of your content and seeing your first interview I am truly deeply impressed by your interviewing skills. Hope your channel will continue to grow and achieve the success it deserves. Greetings from Romania!
@@hubermanlab From 1:48:01. He doesn't name LSD and psilocybin specifically, but those are the ones people generally think of when discussing psychedelics, I guess. Anyways, I don't dispute that psychedelics can be risky, but addiction is generally not an issue as far as I know.
Thanks for letting the interviewee speak calmly without interrupting him frequently, as is usual in podcasts. Excellent content as usual, I'm super grateful to get this for free. Greetings from Argentina 🧉
Appreciate the quality information. Thanks for this resourse. Gives me a great direction for the morning in terms of what I give thought to. And you're a lovable person. Also appreciate your work in making these podcasts respectful and clear.
Fellow skater here, absolutely loving your podcasts mate. The information and delivery is incomparable to anything else on youtube. Keep it up! Big love from Australia.
Every day I feel like there is something super heavy on my shoulders. I can’t pin point what that is. It’s been going on for 7 months. I have never experienced this much of anxiety before. I was always motivated but now I don’t even want to get out of bed. At night I can’t fall asleep. Inside my head it’s like all sort of things come at me at 100 miles per hour. Then I would only be able to fall asleep after tiring myself out. In the beginning I thought I could and should handle this issue myself. But apparently it’s still there. Is there something seriously wrong with me or is it normal with all 24 year olds? Is it gonna make me sick? I’m really really stuck.
Thanks Huberman, got the final semester of my Genetics degree starting on Monday, currently dealing with a TBI so hoping I can still power through. In any case your podcast has re-ignited my love of Science and will help me finish!
Thank you Andrew. I bought Karl's book based upon his ability, and yours of course, to give me access to information as complicated, as relevant, and understandable. I guess I expect the same from the book; he claims that purpose, afterall.
Andrew I constantly listen to your podcast, this episode has a very unique pioneer ideas on the brain and mental health. Can you please invite Karl again?
Thank you for yet another very informative podcast. I did have an incredibly profound experience on psychedelics (ayahuasca & psilocybin), never felt so much bliss & grace, but then went back to my usual anxious/neurotic self and never managed to feel like that again through other means (e.g. mediation). I’d like to know why I can’t achieve this state on my own, and why my brain didn’t learn from it although Dr.Deisseroth said it should .
