Critic Rating
Huberman Lab discusses neuroscience: how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. We also discuss existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. His laboratory studies neural regeneration, neuroplasticity, and brain states such as stress, focus, fear, and optimal performance. For more than 20 years, Dr. Huberman has consistently published original research findings and review articles in top-level peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Science, Cell, Neuron, and Current Biology...

"What makes the Huberman Lab Podcast stand out is its engaging and thought-provoking content. Dr. Huberman poses thoughtful questions to his guests, leading to interesting conversations exploring the latest science topics. He also provides commentary on the science behind the topics, which helps listeners better picture the material. ...the Huberman Lab podcast does not always provide a comprehensive overview of the topics discussed. Huberman often fails to provide background information on the matters and instead jumps right into the discussion. As a result, listeners unfamiliar with the topics may have difficulty understanding the conversation. The Huberman Lab Podcast is a fantastic medium for anyone interested in neuroscience. With Dr. Andrew Huberman’s expertise and engaging conversations, this podcast provides a practical sense of the world of neuroscience."

"Such cool facts are not always easy to extract from Huberman’s podcast. This will not suit every taste. Neither will its superficially bro-y, Joe Roganesque delivery, full of macho pseudoscientific-sounding boasts about self-optimisation...The exorbitant episode lengths are down partly to the fact that (Huberman being a Stanford professor and all) the podcast is stuffed with detail about different parts of the brain and lengthy descriptions of scientific studies. Maybe you’ll like it. Maybe you’ll think it the sort of filler a good BBC producer would have left all over the cutting room floor."

"He (and his guests) reliably provide a deep, sometimes technical and usually engaging dive into each topic he covers...he often provides clear and easily actionable steps you can take to optimise your own health. Not every episode is my cup of tea, but there is plenty of interesting content and information to digest."
