​@@citroen143 Thanks! I agree so much with this Dr. Tye's quote! From my point of view, knowing how damaging all formats of digital entertainment are is critical. They deteriorate our physical and mental health way more than we think, to me they affect our whole life experience. I think the reason behind it is quite simple: Developers and engeneers aren't psycologist, philantropists or ONGs, they aren't building this apps to "make society better" or "make people feel happy", they just want to make a profitable bussiness selling you entertainment no matter at what cost. They have been selling us cheap dopamine for years, keeping us hooked for so long to the point were we as society can't imagine living without them. Cal Newport's "Deep Work" was great for deciding to quit digital entertainment as much as possible, his view on this topic is great. I'm thrilled to hear Huberman's next podcast with him! Cheers!

So cute 🥰

That moment when Dr. Kay Tye warmly replied, 'Andy Huberman, what a treat,' was just too adorable! It instantly brought a smile to my face and created such a heartwarming atmosphere. Love those charming and cute interactions that make the podcast feel like a cozy conversation. 💞

I am just thrilled to hear that she is a surfer, breakdancer and yoga teacher. What a brilliant woman. She is so well-verse in so many disciplines. This was my favorite podcast so far. She is articulate and passionate about all that she does. Well done! I especially appreciate the comments about sexism in academia. That is eye-opening, but not surprising.

I like how she decluttered her life and reserves her mental/ emotional resources for important things. I'm following a similar plan, I may spend a couple hours a week on social media sites. I shut off all notifications and use the email filters for all correspondences. I spend about 30 minutes a day on email. This has allowed to pursue new technical skills. I'm slowly but surely feeling less stressed. To be honest social media is poison in larger doses. If other folks followed suite and detoxified they would realize the negative impact a large diet of social media is having on them. The first obstacle is getting over the FOMO and the dopamine fueled addiction of mindless scrolling for the drug. You unintentionally formed a routine that craves dopamine, which will be hard to break. You have to come to the realization it's a tool not life support.

She was definitely my favorite guest on this podcast and maybe of any podcast. She was beyond fascinating, personable, and extremely charismatic.

i could watch this a hundred times and still have something new to think about.

Despite being an expert in the topics you discuss, your ability to purport a beginner's mind is central for relating to your audience and getting complex subject matter across to non-scientists. You take on the position of non-expert a lot of times during your discussions with other experts, which really helps your audience better engage as opposed to feeling like we're just hearing two expert-level scientists discuss complex scientific subject matter.

Would love to see a video on the science of intuition!

I noticed this and loved her passion. We need more of this type of authentic energy in society

Today, while I was dancing alone in my small apartment in Eastern Europe, i was overwhelmed with some kind of energy and emotion when I realised once again that we have in our possession a body and a mind so wonderful, the result of millions and millions of evolution, so complex yet so simple and comprehensive when you understand it, when you become friend with your body and mind, when you respect and love them and give them what they need to flourish and to be as they learned to be. It seems so simple but when you look around there are only a few people who realise that in a life time. My journey started 5 6 years ago and you were always a part of it. I'm 42 years old but sometimes it feels like i was just born. I've never loved life and myself so much, and sometimes it's scary just because i want to be like this forever. And it's not only this, it's the freedom that i feel knowing that I only need this body and mind to be happy. Anywhere in this world or any other. Thanks, Andrew!

Paranoid schizophrenia is just the final higher level of anxiety. When anxiety gets too much to bear, your brain tries to "help" you by fleeing into another reality. It's a natural response actually. When you lower your anxiety to a healthy level (I know, easier said than done), your paranoia will also naturally go away. Anxiety comes from too much noradrenaline / norepinephrine (its North American name), too little serotonin and too little GABA. Try to increase serotonin, increase GABA, and reduce noradrenaline, which will make the anxiety go away. Unfortunately, almost all pharmaceuticals that increase serotonin, also increase noradrenalin. You should discuss your options (including supplements) on how to do this with your preferred health professional, but most psychiatrists are unfortunaltely clueless when it comes to the neurobiology of the brain, so it's good your educating yourself through this podcast. I wish you all the best. Let me know if my advice helped you.

Can't wait for the episode with Cal Newport, his podcast and ideas around Life-style Centric Career planning were highly influential for me.

Thank you Dr Huberman and Dr Tye. This information is important for all of us.

Dr Tye- like Andrew is a great science communicator and made all this information very accessible! You can tell she isn’t pretentious and I love that her and “Andy” were friends before this. Also Dr Huberman, the glasses work on you!

It's been over a year that I've listened to you. I'm impressed how beneficial your research has been for me. Thank you:)

Hi Dr. Huberman, great podcast and as always, I appreciate and admire your efforts to bring science and its findings to the wider audience! One piece of feedback I would like to offer: It’d be effective to include more practical takeaways that an ordinary person can action upon. I enjoy when discussions can get scientifically technical and the way they indulge my curiosity, but they’re hard to recall at a later time. However, the practical elements stick really well. For example, your podcast with Robert Lustig was great and now I remind myself of the different food classes (NOVA 1, 2, 3, and 4) when I’m out grocery shopping, which then informs my purchasing decisions. In summary, it would great to see more practical takeaways on how one can use podcast learnings in their routine lives. Otherwise, keep up with the great work! 👍 You’re doing a huge service to the public by making scientific information such readily accessible.

As a person who lives mostly alone, I feel like long form interviews like this help me to feel connected/socialized. Dr. Huberman, I have a gift for you that I made, which was inspired by your work and the work of many others. It would mean the world to me for you to receive it.

Dr. Tye, I’m a human performance and organizational consultant. I’ve consulted in pro sports and with military leadership. Most literature in management doesn’t speak to creating a flourishing environment in where the group feels fulfilled, valued, are well and performs well. But management is not leadership. However; there are conversations happening about this. Specific sources are positive psychology (seligman), Scott Barry Kauffman from Colombia, Adam Grant, Chip Conley’s book Peak, Jocko Willinks books on leadership from a military perspective are great, Michael Gervais has been doing work with companies like Microsoft. There are many more.

The poor amygdala. In our emotionally stunted culture, it gets labeled a “terrorist,” lurking behind the bushes, ready to randomly hijack our higher selves, to throw a wet blanket of fear and panic over our happy party. Deep thanks to Dr. Tye for helping to present a clearer picture of these deep structures and better understand their continued importance at every level of our daily lives. I hope for the day when more investigators can approach this important scientific work from a model or mindset of emotional acceptance, even positivity. I’m guessing that insights and advances would happen like water breaking through a dam. 🙏

At 45 I returned to school after having raised 2 girls in the central midwest and as a California HS grad returning to Ca for school turned out to be a very viable thing. I was exposed to another Stanford Professor Dr. Shani Robins as an instructor for my first psychology class. Shani gave us a mindfulness workbook and we worked in it at least 30 mins each class. It opened my eyes to so much! No my children were not exposed to this concept in school. I wish so much they had been. The ability to cope with stress and the knowledge as to how to respond to stress is necessary at all ages but I feel it is even more needed for children. Further discussions with friends and family revealed that California primarily and then west coast elementaries have included mindfulness training in the curriculum for the last 10+ years, while most schools across the US did not before Covid. Kind of like Yoga was looked at: laughed at- that is strange but maybe useful-to finally accepted as a necessary part of a healthy life. I so hope it does not take us 60 years to realise mindfulness training is part of a healthy life and pushed in the curriculum from pre-k on.

I could not be more psyched to listen to this episode, for where I'm at emotionally/socially right now. THANK YOU.

This was absolutely amazing. Dr Kay is so interesting and I enjoyed every moment. I'm grateful to better understand social situations, particularly in work environments. Thank you for having her on.

Hat she says about learning about schools teaching about self-regulation is so true. I work in schools and the difference in the kids in the schools that teach it versus don't is incredible. Either creating healthy society or dysfunctional society.

Thank, Mr. Andrew. I watched your long video and there is nothing to delete. So good.

I just have to say that her thoughts on work, fun, and family are very encouraging. I want family life but as an older woman, I've avoided relationships because I'm afraid to lose myself in a wife/mom role. It's so important for both parents to have the ability to pursue careers and extra familial endeavors. It all comes down to teamwork and time management. This is truly encouraging.

I am proud of you and all you do for helping all of us. Keep up the wonderful work. I am looking forward to hearing more of your teaching.

And Dr. Huberman hits another one out of the park! Thank you Dr. Tye. 😊

Robotics Grad Student here, so I've no professional training in neuroscience or biology, but the amygdala in this context is reminding me of Reinforcement Learning in the machine learning context. RL often uses positive and negative "rewards" in order to train an algorithm towards an ideal function approximation. Given a state, inputs, and potential actions, RL tries to teach an agent, aglorithm, robot, what have you, to optimize its behavior in a given environment. While this likely reflects many of the brains' feedback loops, the discussion of the amygdala here really poked my intuition towards comparison.

Don’t let the comments sting. The positive thing is that they are tuning in and making time to even give feedback that’s obviously more important to THEM to get out. We never know which comments you read or why. :) continue to do you, Dr. Huberman! I LOVES this channel and I have SO much to catch up on but I LOVE that this free resource is here for me to tune in when I have time in this oversaturated content era. Your content is phenomenal! Keep going! 🙏🏾🏁

I'm totally into Andrew's little personal interjections in his podcasts! They add such a nice conversational vibe, rather than making it feel like a one-sided interrogation. His comments often strike that perfect balance between insightful and whimsical. In this episode, the side story with the conclusion '...because you cannot hit me' really struck a chord with me. Anyway, Dr. Kay Tye proved to be brilliant in many aspects, thus contributing to a brilliant conversation all around.🎯

Love this conversation so far...and also the glasses debut!

It would be it’s very cool if you invited them and told people about their research, which is simply amazing in its beauty.... Thank you and good luck!

Dr. Huberman, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to education both in the laboratory and to the public. Whether these issues are directly or indirectly affecting us, we can all learn from the time and energy you put into each show. One thing I would love to see in a future episode is an episode focused both hypothroidism and hyperthyroidism. As someone who deals with hypothyroidism, there's a lot of questions and confusion with what the literature states and what might be best for overall health. An episode discussing a protocol for diet, exercise, what to avoid and to seek out would be fantastic!

Really phenomenal episode. I appreciate Dr. KayTye’s energy and knowledge. Awesome guest.

My dad would always say to me ,if your thoughts are in order you can manage everything, your suffering comes from if your thoughts are not in order. I finally understood what he was saying 1 year short of 40.

As a K teacher we took TBRI training several years ago to help kids regulate emotions. We discussed the amygdala as more of the “trigger” center in the brain. We didn’t discuss it as a reward center, so I’m taking notes on this podcast! Empathy is definitely something we model, teach, and talk about at the school I teach at…education isn’t just about reading, writing, and arithmetic anymore. ☺️

I think Dr. Kay is the most (or probably the only) animated guest of this podcast, and she talks about amygdala and it's surrounding stories - just perfect. 😄

When we're "always" with others and suddenly find ourselves alone for an extended period of time, there's a mental/emotional withdrawal effect not unlike coming off drugs or alcohol.

As an ardent Buddhist, I pay particular attention to dependent co-origination (Paticca Samupada). Buddhadasa's delineation of liberation (Heartwood of the Bodhi Tree) finely focuses on sense contacts (phassa) as the initial opportunity. Traditionally included in sense contacts is thoughts -- in particular limbic impulses. This podcast finely differentiates limbic impulses. In my own practice, I separate limbic impulses from sense contacts because limbic impulses often follow sensory inputs.

There is a lot to be said about having your own niche. I feel that the way you break down science in layman terms for the public to get it is definitely your niche and forte!! It’s valuable for social interaction and beyond!! Rise.

Someone coined the phrase parasocial relationships. That's describing perfectly what happens on social media, vapid relations where you could as well talk to a wall for the same benefit.

Before the pandemic, my family was scattered across multiple countries. When the pandemic hit, it was the first time in years I lived under the same roof as my parents and siblings, and it's only then that I realized the loneliness I was experiencing before. Sometimes people just get used to it and can't even rezognize it anymore. For some of us, the pandemic was actually helpful from a social standpoint.

You are an outstanding person Andrew - intelligent, humble, curious and humorous. All of these attributes I aspire to have in myself. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful and deep discussions with all of us. 👍👏⭐
