Change Your Brain! Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman & Lewis Howes

Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist at Stanford University who runs the Huberman Lab, which studies how the brain functions, how it changes through experiences, and how to repair the brain after injury or disease. In his career, Andrew has made numerous important contributions to the fields of brain development, brain plasticity, and neural regeneration, and repair.

He’s received numerous awards and recognitions for his research and publications, including the McKnight Foundation Neuroscience Scholar Award, the Biomedical Scholar Award from the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the Cogan Award for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.

In addition to being a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University, Dr. Andrew is a brilliant neuroscientist and teacher — he excellently explains complicated concepts in a way that everyday people can understand them and use neuroscience to improve their lives!

Andrew’s goal is to understand how the brain allows us to sense, evaluate, and respond to the world around us. He’s actively working on methods to re-wire and repair eye-to-brain connections for people who suffer from blinding diseases, as well as investigating emotions and how they drive behavior.

We had a fantastic conversation with a wide range of topics! In fact, I had such a great time talking with Andrew I had to split this interview into two parts! Make sure to tune in this Wednesday to hear the second half of the interview!

In this first part, we talk about how to handle depression, the positive effects of stress, the science of hope, and so much more!

This was an amazing video. I have been introduced to Yoga Nidra by a friend and now hearing Dr. Andrew Huberman talk about it and its benefits makes me even more excited to start truly practicing it. As for living with GRATITUDE 🙏🏻 I concur with that philosophy 100%. Thank you Lewis and SOG for another fabulous interview.

Yoga is a science so really appreciate Dr. Huberman's research and insights to elevate these 2, 000 year old practices. I practice and am honored to teach all of these approaches. After years of being teased for practicing Yoga Nidra in the workplace, it's great that the value to health and well-being is being embraced! Namaste...
