    Dr. Allan Schore: How Relationships Shape Your Brain

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Allan Schore, Ph.D., a faculty member in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles, a longtime clinical psychotherapist, and a multi-book author. We discuss how early child-parent interactions shape brain circuitry, impacting our ability to form attachments, manage emotions, and navigate conflict and stress. We cover how the development of right-brain circuitry related to emotional processing and the unconscious mind regulates physiological responses, influencing adult friendships and romantic relationships. We also explore how improving your ability to listen to the emotional tone—rather than just the meaning—of words is a vital skill for fostering better relationships with yourself and others, and how it plays a role in reshaping brain circuitry.Additionally, we explain how circuits in the right brain hemisphere drive creativity and intuition and discuss activities to access the unconscious mind. This episode delves into how the unconscious mind regulates emotions—both your own and others’—and shapes our sense of self. By the end, you’ll have new knowledge and tools to build more secure, meaningful, and impactful connections of all kinds: professional, romantic, familial, friendships, and beyond.Access the full show notes for this episode, including referenced articles, resources, and people mentioned at hubermanlab.com.Use Ask Huberman Lab, our chat-based tool, for summaries, clips, and insights from this episode.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman David Protein: https://davidprotein.com/huberman Eight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman Function: https://functionhealth.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Dr. Allan Schore00:02:37 Sponsors: David & Eight Sleep00:05:49 Thoughts & Unconscious Mind00:07:36 Right vs Left Brain, Child Development, Attachment00:13:19 Attachment Styles & Development, Emotions & Physiology00:18:12 Intuition, Arousal, Emotional Regulation & Attachment00:23:13 Psychobiological Attunement, Repair; Insecure & Anxious Attachment00:28:33 Attachment Styles, Regulation Theory; Therapy00:34:20 Sponsor: AG100:35:51 “Surrender,” Therapy, Patient Synchronization00:39:46 Synchrony, Empathy, Therapy & Developing Autoregulation00:45:07 Mother vs Father, Child Development; Single Caretakers00:50:51 MDMA, Right Brain; Fetal Development00:55:58 Sponsor: Function00:57:46 Integrating Positive & Negative Emotions, Quiet vs Excited Love01:03:33 Splitting, Borderline; Therapy & Emotions01:09:24 Tool: Right Brain, Vulnerability & Repair01:15:32 Right vs. Left Brain, Attention01:19:26 Right Brain Synchronization, Eye Connection, Empathy01:25:39 Music & Dogs, Resonance01:30:58 Right Brain & Body; Empathic Connection, Body Language01:36:47 Tool: Text Message, Communication, Relationships01:42:18 Right Brain Dominance & Activities; Tool: Fostering the Right Brain01:50:10 Defenses, Blind Spots01:53:14 Creativity, Accessing the Right Brain, Insight01:59:31 Paternal Leave, Parent-Child Relationships, Attachment02:05:16 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter Disclaimer & Disclosures

    Optimal Protocols for Studying & Learning

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, I discuss science-supported protocols to optimize your depth and rate of learning of material and skills. I explain the neurobiology of learning and neuroplasticity and how correctly timed, self-directed test-taking can be leveraged to improve learning and prevent forgetting. I discuss the study habits of the most successful learners, ways to limit distractions, how to set study goals, and how tests can be used as tools to learn, not just as a means for evaluating one’s mastery of learned material. A surprising aspect of tests, specifically self-testing soon after exposure to new material, is that they can significantly improve your ability to learn, apply, and maintain new knowledge. I also discuss tools to improve focus and alertness while studying.By the end of this episode, you will have learned various science-supported actionable tools you can use to better learn, remember, and apply new information.Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, people mentioned, and additional resources at hubermanlab.com.Andrew's New BookProtocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body: https://protocolsbook.comThank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman Eight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/huberman Waking Up: https://wakingup.com/huberman LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Improve Studying & Learning00:02:11 Sponsors: Eight Sleep, BetterHelp & Waking Up00:06:45 Offsetting Forgetting00:08:22 Learning & Neuroplasticity00:13:06 Periodic Testing00:16:09 Focus & Alertness, Sleep, Tool: Active Engagement00:21:37 Tool: Improve Focus, Mindfulness Meditation, Perception Exercise00:24:38 Sleep & Neuroplasticity, Tool: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)00:28:29 Tools: Study Habits of Successful Students00:36:21 Sponsor: AG100:37:33 Studying & Aspiration Goals; Challenging Material00:42:54 Tool: Testing as a Learning Tool00:48:23 Self-Testing, Repeated Testing00:55:29 Testing Yourself & Knowledge Gaps01:01:11 Sponsor: LMNT01:02:23 New Material & Self-Test Timing01:07:21 Familiarity vs Mastery01:10:55 Self-Testing & Offsetting Forgetting01:15:53 Best Type of Self-Tests; Phone & Post-Learning Distractions01:22:03 Tool: Gap Effects; Testing as Studying vs. Evaluation01:25:40 Tool: Emotion & Learning, PTSD, Deliberate Cold Exposure, Caffeine01:33:28 Tool: Interleaving Information; Unskilled, Mastery & Virtuosity01:39:10 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Layne Norton, Ph.D., one of the world’s top experts in nutrition and training for physical fitness. We discuss how to evaluate scientific evidence and the validity of different practices aimed at achieving fat loss, muscle strength and hypertrophy, microbiome health, vitality, and longevity.We explore many hotly debated topics, including fasting, seed oils, saturated fats, sugar, red meat, artificial/low-calorie sweeteners, and GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Ozempic). Additionally, we delve into the timing of protein and carbohydrate intake relative to fasting and exercise, fat loss and sleep, and the benefits of dietary protein and fiber on overall health.We also discuss how to accelerate hypertrophy and fat loss, improve strength, whether we need to train to “failure,” how to enhance exercise recovery, and how to manage pain. We cover training before versus after age 50, whether metabolism changes with age, and the connection between muscle health and longevity. We also address why certain behaviors and supplements might work for some people but not others.Listeners to this episode will benefit greatly from Layne’s science-based expertise on a wide range of topics, including health, nutrition, and fitness.Access the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanMateina: https://drinkmateina.com/hubermanEight Sleep: https://www.eightsleep.com/hubermanMaui Nui: https://mauinuivenison.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanTimestamps00:00:00 Dr. Layne Norton00:01:49 Sponsors: Mateina, Eight Sleep, Maui Nui00:06:39 Science-Based Evidence, Mechanism vs. Outcome00:14:31 Meta-analysis, Methods, Evidence Quality00:22:45 Evidence Hierarchy, Randomized Controlled Trials, Cohort Data00:33:53 Sponsor: AG100:35:05 “Don’t Turn Your Brain Off”; Protein Synthesis00:42:01 Protein Synthesis, Refractory Response; Resistance Training 00:46:05 Protein Intake, Intermittent Fasting & Training00:54:52 Tool: Total Protein Intake, Distribution & Protein Synthesis01:00:25 Muscle Quality, Protein Remodeling, Muscle Growth01:05:34 Sponsor: LMNT01:06:46 Early vs. Late Time-Restricted Eating; Fasting Blood Glucose & HbA1c01:10:30 Carbohydrate Timing, Individual Response, Placebo; Tool: Tracking Diet01:19:50 “The Norton Method”; Tool: Consistency01:25:16 Resistance & Cardiovascular Training; Competition; Immune System & Rest01:33:50 Mind & Body Effects, Stress; Belief Effects01:41:30 Training to Failure, Reps in Reserve, Hypertrophy & Strength Training01:50:24 Fatigue & Training to Failure, Speed, Strength Training01:59:06 Tool: Training After 50, Consistency02:09:12 Fat Cells, Diabetes, Exercise02:16:50 Metabolism & Age-Related Changes?, Appetite02:23:17 Ozempic, Mounjaro, GLP-1 Agonists, Lean Mass, “Food Noise”02:33:42 GLP-1 Agonists, Judgement & Obesity02:40:19 Sugar, Excess Calories, Body Weight02:49:16 Satiety, Sugar & Calorie Budget02:54:56 Tool: Individualization, Context & Diet Psychology02:57:22 Seed Oils, Butter, Olive Oil03:06:56 Red Meat, Carcinogenic?; Simple Diet; Fiber Benefits03:13:43 Saturated Fat, Cholesterol; Seed Oils03:18:41 Artificial & Low-Calorie Sweeteners, Insulin, Appetite03:29:06 Artificial & Low-Calorie Sweeteners, Gut Microbiome; Cancer03:37:58 Tools: Training Recovery, Glycogen Replenishment; Stress & Activity03:45:56 Collagen Supplementation, Skin & Nails, Whey Protein03:57:00 Evidence-Based Approach04:01:41 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer & Disclosures

    Dr. Peter Attia: Supplements for Longevity & Their Efficacy

    · Huberman Lab

    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Peter Attia, M.D., a Stanford and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine-trained physician expert in improving human healthspan and lifespan. Dr. Attia is also the host of The Drive podcast and author of the best-selling book Outlive. We discuss the NAD pathway in human cells and its possible links to aging and health. We evaluate how supplementation can augment molecules in the NAD pathway; we compare NAD, NMN, and NR, different routes of administration, their safety, and bioavailability. Then, we discuss the broader research and clinical literature on longevity to decide if supplementation with NAD, NR, NMN, rapamycin, or resveratrol can indeed extend lifespan. Finally, we each describe our supplement regimens and compare the role of supplementation to behaviors such as sleep, nutrition, and exercise for longevity. We also discuss whether tests of biological age are true indicators of aging and whether normal radiation levels increase cancer risk. Listeners of this episode will learn if supplements purported to improve lifespan show any efficacy and the behaviors and other factors that can prevent disease and extend lifespan.Access the full show notes for this episode at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman Levels: https://levels.link/huberman Eight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Dr. Peter Attia, NAD Pathway00:02:31 Sponsors: LMNT, Levels & Eight Sleep00:06:38 Categories of Longevity Approaches00:17:22 Peter’s Supplements; Rapamycin & Research Data00:25:01 NAD Pathway: Energy & DNA Repair; Knock-Out & Knock-In, Klotho00:30:35 Sponsor: AG100:32:25 Yeast, Sirtuins, Caloric Restriction & Lifespan00:38:56 Sirtuins, Transgenic Mice, Gender & Lifespan00:43:42 DNA Repair, Sirtuins, Cancer; Resveratrol00:53:31 Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin Podcast00:54:18 NAD & NADH, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Mitochondrial Health01:02:17 NAD vs NR vs NMN Supplementation; IV & Oral Routes01:11:33 NR vs. NMN, Doses, Side Effects; Interventions Testing Program01:17:43 Fatty Liver Disease & NR; NMN & Glucose; Clinical Significance01:25:17 Safety & FDA, NMN & NR Supplementation; Skin Cancer Benefits01:30:38 Longevity, NR & NMN Supplementation, Inflammation01:41:00 Rapamycin & Immune Function01:44:37 Biological Aging Tests, Chronologic & Biologic Age; Vigor 01:55:24 Radiation & Cancer Risk01:58:12 Tool: Self-Care in 50s-70s & Aging; Energy Decline02:07:12 Tool: Exercise Timing & Energy Levels02:11:22 Peter’s Supplements02:18:46 Andrew’s Supplements02:24:34 Tool: Supplement Use vs. Critical Behaviors; Titanic Analogy 02:26:52 NAD Pathway Supplementation for Longevity?02:28:52 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, YouTube Feedback, Social Media, Neural Network NewsletterDisclaimer
