About
I'm a neuroscientist and professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology and, by courtesy, psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. My work focuses on brain development, function, and neuroplasticity.
I host the Huberman Lab podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.

Andrew Huberman posted thisYou can't bottle focus, ambition and vision, but you can bottle sloth, distraction and drama. Stay focused on your life builds, folks. The rest is noise (at best) and more often than not, a slide down the rat hole.

Andrew Huberman posted thisI strongly believe that sleep and robust circadian entrainment to sunlight are the foundation of physical and mental health. But it's also important to realize that when these are combined with other therapeutics (if needed) that also work, that's the A++. Don't be myopic.

Andrew Huberman posted thisTo those who say they can't focus: you can scroll 60+ min = you can focus. It's because you have a strategy to anchor your focus. The strategy is "find the content engaging enough to comment on or share." To focus & learn you have to actively search as you read, watch, listen... Obviously, there are instances of passive learning, but there's always an underlying strategy and rule even to those. Sometimes it's made aware to you; sometimes it's not. And yes, there are other forms of learning too, but before you decide you can't focus (on a book, podcast, learning a language, a complicated movement, etc.) make sure you have a specific strategy for each repetition or attempt, page or chapter. Focus emerges from having a deliberate strategy. Set yours.

Andrew Huberman posted thisWhen (world-class choreographer) Twyla Tharp was on my podcast, we didn't cover what she said offline, but it's vital: People who are really, really good at one thing are often good at many adjacent things. To become world-class, they (you perhaps) must only do the one thing. She has seen this in athletes, academics, would-be novelists who also are decent at scriptwriting and on and on. I have to agree. Go all in on the one thing and save the rest for recreation later. And yes, seek some balance across your life at all stages. "All in" is re: career.

Andrew Huberman posted thisGet morning daylight in your eyes. I wish I'd called it daylight and not sunlight because any time there are clouds people say "there's no sun here." Compare how bright it is on an overcast morning with at night. There's lots of daylight! Do this every day, especially on overcast days. It's impossible to overstate how important this protocol is for your health and well-being. I know I've been saying this for years. Take comfort in knowing that in 2026 I'll be saying it even more! In a few new major venues too...

Andrew Huberman shared thisPeople's desire to belong often defeats their desire to improve. —James Clear My editorial: Hang out with complainers and those focused on criticizing others, and you'll be unhappy and won't get much done in life. Hang out with doers, and you'll be happy, productive and have a great life. Full episode: https://lnkd.in/g7F6bHga

Andrew Huberman posted thisAfter a few years of tending to your sleep and eating well, exercising regularly, minimizing or eliminating alcohol, it becomes second nature. People would have you think that it's going to consume your life, but it opens up time and energy for all sorts of things that bring meaning. I noticed that when some people post their fitness or weight loss achievements, or their sleep scores, there's a cohort of people out there that somehow accuse these people of being obsessed. Ignore it. Just stay on your path and fill your life with things that matter to you.

Psilocybin's Unexpected Effects on Postpartum Mood and Maternal Behavior How might reproductive hormones modulate the serotonergic effects of psychedelics in the postpartum brain? Episode 270: In-depth examination of maternal behavior neurobiology with Danielle Stolzenberg. Topics include stress effects on parental care, hormonal influences on mood, and preclinical evidence indicating psilocybin may heighten anxiety and depressive symptoms during the postpartum period, highlighting context-dependent risks. Not medical advice. Post questions in the comments.
