I love this! Andrew may never know this, but he helped me to get through understanding my 24 year old son's TBI while he was in a coma, he helped me to get him the proper therapy after he left the hospital, and his podcast now helps my son (now 26) continue to improve his recovery. He ABSOLUTELY enjoys learning about his brain health, his emotional health, and physical health from these videos! My son is a walking miracle partly because of this man. ❤

It's such a privilege to hear the backstory of "the guy who produces high quality science masterclass" week in week out. Andrew's personal life is so interesting, but none of it ever got out of his podcasts (aside from Costello) - a show of how professional and dedicated he is to keeping his material pure for science. But man, what a great life story and well developed person psychologically. He really earned my utmost respect as a human being.

Andy! This was quite the podcast. It was brave my friend and added great value to your podcasts. I'm 70, retired after 38 years at SLAC up the hill. I wanted to say how much you've served my bumpy transition into the 'golden years'. I hit the skids getting here. You came into my KZread world like a bulldog. One podcast after the other you've offered me a game plan, and by golly it's working. I have danced with depression over the years. I changed my lifestyle, my diet, and the results are undeniable. But mostly I wanted to honor the story behind the skills. You didn't come into this as some byproduct of a career. The word service comes to mind. I love your precision, mixed with some kindness for the human condition. I don't get to the Farm much as I'm 5 hours up the coast now. But should we cross paths somehow I'm going to say hello, and thanks. I remember that skate shop in PA. I was there when they rolled up the sidewalks at 6pm. Keep rolling bro, You're a shiny light on the tree. best regards, John

This was a genuine rollercoaster of emotions. The first few minutes it seemed like hubermans life was idealistic, but WOW…. it then took a hard turn. He’s been through a lot.

What a fantastic interview! I am in awe of how honest and vulnerable Andrew Huberman is. In addition to appreciating the content of his podcast, I've also been impressed by his reverence for his mentors and colleagues. I am grateful for his dedication to making his knowledgeable accessible to millions of people.

It's insane that I had almost an exact replica experience with being committed/institutionalized by my parents (but as an adult). Andrews description of his cognitive dissonance related to why/how he ended up there and the sense of betrayal/abandonment that comes with it is profound. Also, the raw emotion that comes when a therapist finally becomes the one who finally hears and sees you in a way that can actually help you heal... In a weird way, it's comforting to hear someone relate to this super traumatic experience....thank you for sharing these intimate details!

Wow! "We're going to figure this out!" I'm going to remember this for my son. Thanks Andy - your courage for sharing this is like Godly, for sure!

Thank you Dr. Huberman for your inspiring words. My story followed a similar trajectory early on, except it was my father passing and I fell into drugs and had to leave college. I now have over 3.5 years clean from drugs and alcohol and will be applying for PhD programs in neuroscience this Fall. Hearing your struggles has been a massive inspiration to me as I also didn’t follow the normal high school and college routine.

I’ve been following Dr. Huberman from the past 4 years. He has been a prominent role model in my life. This podcast reveals so many intimate details about his life and the message he carries. I’m grateful he exists and I hope I get to meet him one day.

I love that science and education became Dr. Huberman’s lifeboat. Education has been that for so many of us lucky children who were self parented and adultified. Also, people you would not predict matter in /save our lives…and we matter to our students in ways we don’t even know.

Dr H. OMG! I thought I was a fan girl before, I’m totally in love with you even more!!! Don’t worry. I’m an old girl and could be your Mamma. I’m so proud of you. What an inspiration you are.

Nor have I particularly considered or cared about my status in society. I value authenticity and integrity more than status. To me, “girl“ was meant to be lighthearted while simultaneously conveying through writing, how impressed I am with Dr. Huberman’s story, how I connected with it, and to imply there was a modicum of healing that it gave me.

Quite possibly two of the most intellectually generous men I’ve ever encountered. I’m a big fan of Peter’s calm, incisive interviewing style and Andrew’s delivery, whether asking or answering questions, is absolutely flawless. I’m incredibly glad I found you. Thank you both for what you do.

What’s not to love about everything Andrew Huberman? Thanks Peter great interview!

Loving your transparency. At 71, I still remember my depression during puberty. Almost took my life. Your story breaks my heart and brings up so many memories. Seeing your excell jump studying the sciences. Now I have been learning in all your podcasts. My family history roots were strong at Stanford and Palo Alto area. Dad a Berkeley grad. Got PHD in Physics. Manhattan Project participant. Thank you !

This guy does not give himself enough credit. What a caring genius!

He's one of my favorite podcasts. I listen to him all the time. What a wonderful soul and gift he is to the world. God bless him.

Our young teenage years are the second most important years of our lives, as we go through major physical, mental and emotional changes. If you suffer traumatic situations at that age, it marks you for life. And yet here we are - stronger, wiser, and more compassionate than ever. Thank you for sharing💜

Resilience is such an underrated trait, but it has served you well. You knew how to use your good sense and brains, and were able to shape your own life and live to tell the tale. Thanks to all those folks who helped you out in hard times. Good on ya'!

I don't usually comment on stuff, but thank you so much for sharing your story, and for taking the time to make all your wonderful podcasts. I always got the impression watching your podcasts that you are a man who has overcome or is continuing to overcome an internal struggle to be the person you project outwards in order to share your knowledge. Hearing your story, I have even greater respect for you as an amazing, resilient, and deeply thoughtful human being. I went quite far off the rails and screwed up my own life as a conflicted teenager, and had to claw my way back, and I think it makes you more caring, insightful and empathetic towards others and more driven to succeed, or not let yourself fall again. I haven't had to deal with the things you have, but I feel I understand a little of what you must have battled to get where you are, and I'm really sorry that you had to go through it, but I hope you've been able to make peace with your past.

You two are a gift to mankind! Thanks for all that you do.

I love Andrew and after watching this my respect for him increased. I feel less guilty to feel a total mess whenever I recount my story. I discovered The hubermanlab since April 2023 and my life is changing daily. I've followed many Doctors and coaches, non of them has been able to help me reconnect with myself and reality like Dr Huberman does. I am proud to consider him as a mentor. Learning about his past inspires me a lot. And Dr Attia is such a good listener. Anyone would tell their story with passion. Thank you for this.

One theme I noticed and that was refreshing was Dr. Huberman mentioning his female relationships throughout his life. And they all seemed to have a positive influence on him in one way or the other. It is very apparent to me that he holds an unusual respect for women that is rarely expressed openly by men generally speaking. IMHO.

What comes through for me re: Andrew is his lack of judgement. He seems to lack ego and the need to control others which makes it so much easier to listen and learn.

I loved this podcast episode when it came out a little while ago! Really admire and respect both of these guys and I really enjoyed Andrew being open to telling his story, something he doesn't do very often on his own show. His vulnerability at times is really heartwarming. great listen.

Even spiritually, my pastor just finished a sermon on Sunday about what legacy you leave and then shot himself that week during Covid. Shattering. I appreciate your honesty about your past and growing up. It's similar to mine and my heart goes out to you.

What an amazing story. To be faced with so much adversity and still persevere is a true testament to his character. I love listening to his podcast and interviews. He makes science so understandable for those of us not in the medical field.

This episode is an exceptional. In an era of social platforms flipping the bird to corporate censorship and the dumbing down of information. What Huberman gives so freely to the public empowers the public. The authenticity of this conversation, the genuinely earnest sharing exemplifies a desperately needed future. On a deeper level, if more men were capable of these conversations with one another, what a different society- world, even- we would have.

It’s a privilege to have this access to your story, Andrew. You’re always so interesting and inspirational in your public facing work. It’s fascinating to also see some of your private details, here. Your honesty and integrity are an absolute joy. This interview is incredibly moving and I am very grateful. You have taught me, and many others, so much. You probably can’t evaluate your impact with hard data, but you have definitely changed my life and several of my friends’ lives. Do not underestimate that. ❤❤ ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I would like to say a big thank you to both you, Peter, and Andrew for producing such an insightful video. I have followed Peter’s works for some time, and started following Andrew’s videos last year. I have always wondered about your personal backgrounds. Andrew has alluded to his, from time to time, in his other videos, but this interview really filled in some gaps. You both have had a tremendous influence on my current profession. I’m a Stanford graduate and personal trainer and endeavor to bring a truly science-based approach to my training. I’ve been regularly training myself since I was in the army in the early 1970s, and now that I’m 70, I want to bring evidence-based material to the attention of my client base, which is in the range of 50-90 year olds. Your honesty and empathy shine through in this interview, and I look forward to seeing the tables turned one day with Andrew asking the questions and Peter answering. Keep up the extraordinary work, guys. I look forward to your excellent videos every week.

Wow, Dr. Huberman. Thank you so much for sharing you backstory. I'm deeply moved by that honor. And so glad you had wonderful people along the way.

Thank you both so much for this. Perhaps my having been (and still am) a psychotherapist for the past 30+ years, I am passionately interested in "backstories." After hearing yours, Andrew, my respect for you has increased exponentially and if you were in my presence, my impulse would be to give you a hug. Actually, warm hugs for both of you.

I love this interview. I love both of who you both became as grown man. I have one daughter and I’m taking care of my two grandkids for the last 5 yrs. I believe in taking care of young kids while they are dependents. I’m very sad for all the young kids who doesn’t have parents or grandparents present day to day. It broke my heart to hear you being alone and lost! Thank you for sharing your story and your life experiences.

Don’t know how I came across this as I didn’t know who Andrew Huberman is, such a fascinating life story and such a kind man, thank you very much🙏🏼

Thank you very much. Love you both as role models, and so great to learn about Prof Huberman's path. 🙏

Thank you both for this. So inspirational. Love you both even more.

Riveting, touching and inspiring to hear Mr Huberman’s backstory. Listened in awe to every word Andrew said, me tearing up as he did. Thank you for your heartfelt honesty, really sharing these very personal and poignant experiences in your life Andrew. As a Mom, I just wanted to reach through the screen, hug him, hold him and comfort him. I was particularly intrigued with him explaining how life was growing up with his parents. Jonice Webb PhD has a great book called Running On Empty additionally Mother Hunger by Kelly McDaniel -both wrote on what we didn’t get as children - namely Nurturance, Guidance and Protection. Yes, I capitalized those words due their absolute importance in early childhood development. These issues of childhood neglect, run deep and even with the most amazing counselling/counsellor loving oneself, having healthy self-worth and self-esteem are some of the greatest human challenges. We just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other, as we do what we can to heal. Healing doesn’t have an end point, a destination per se, it’s a lifelong endeavour. Fabulous podcast!

Awesome. I've waited to hear this for a long time...Total respect and blown away!

I’ve been waiting for a video like this! Watched it twice back to back with full attention. May or may not have shed a few tears 😊

Tysm for doing this. I enjoyed listening to Andrew’s upbringing and his experiences. I wish i could have the same therapist for decades

The Hawk vs Wolf interview with Tony and discussion about Tony's parents and Andrew is incredible.

What a great interview & a back story I think so many could relate with, human struggle & triumph! I really enjoyed that - respect!!

I really appreciate how open and real this discussion was. No noise…

Incredible change in his life trajectory. Clearly this is more for Dr Huberman than just a career. I appreciate his passion and sense that his work is his mission.

Great interview. Love seeing this side of Huberman. So authentic and honest. One of my favorite people and definitely a role model for better living. Thanks

Absolutely amazing. Thank you gentlemen.

Such an inspirational resilience to get back in alignment with one's core has to find its written form in a book, Professor Huberman! There is so much confusion about every aspect of life nowadays and I think your autobiography would help in the quest of building and shaping one's self. We have to draw motivation and courage to live a life as authentic and meaningful as it can be and a written template of resilience and drive would be a great tool for those who have the fire within and don't know how to shape it into a torch, not a wildfire. Thank you for your work, Professor Huberman. And thank you, dr Attia, for unraveping the story of this inspirational human.
