Steven, (and Team), Thank you so much for hosting me and for the deep dive discussion into so many topics in health and science. I hope our discussion will help people along their own journey. You’re doing amazing work! Much love my friend.

One reason why Steven is now at 7 million subscribers - he's one of the best listeners. No ego or need to say his piece. Steven, you are amazing.

[jordanblake]

We need more people telling us truth like Andrew Humbert. This is also what I read in book called Grow Beyond by Nathan Chambers. You can see real progress with consistent effort...

[daneseharnesberry]

I appreciate how, as a host, you ask a very pointed question and then allow your guest to answer, uninterrupted.

Huberman’s episode on the effects of alcohol was the catalyst that led to my alcoholic ass getting sober. Just hit 1 year August 10th, best year of my life and now my future is limitless. Thank you fellow Andrew!

[holliday]

This is how the internet should be used, people sharing and caring.

This man has single handedly taught me more about science and how my brain works than my own school has.

[AnnaLorris]

Thanks to these two gentleman for sharing the facts with us! It’s crazy how nobody talks about how they are trying to censor books like Health and Beauty Mastery for exposing the industry.

[sonjabaptiste]

I’m so glad that Andrew shut down the myth that older adults can’t learn. I decided to go back to school last year at age 50 to pursue my masters to become a psychiatric mental health practitioner and my neurons are firing quite well😂😂😂

[OneLove-vtbd]

I live in Canada I’m a truck driver
While I am driving, I used to listen CBC radio. Currently switch to your media and I’m addicted to it. In most of the interview or conversation I keep finding answer tomy life questions.
Thanks everyone who participate on this program

I had a panic attack one day during the COVID times. Since that day, my dad has started sending me 'Good morning' messages. It's been 3 years, and there hasn’t been a single day when I didn’t receive a 'Good morning' message. It's truly powerful.

[victoriar]

This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called The 21 Former doctor secrets by Rachel Morgan. It has been censored

[aylen]

You just can listen to him all day. He’s truly made for teaching and learning.

[luscher]

“Why does this make you uncomfortable? I can see it in your face’. Steven, your willingness to seize on such moments enables further unfolding of depth in the conversation. Respect. 💪

[joibingchilling]

Two Big podcasters doing podcast together, that makes a 4 hour podcast, makes sense.

[angelostampanoni]

I grew up in the foster care system from 5 to 18 and Andrew Huberman has been such a blessing for me. Thank you for having him.

[MiaWe]

Great to hear him outside his podcast. This is more relaxed side of him, and I do appreciate Andrew been so open up. My perseption is that for the first time in DOAC guest talked longer without additional questions. The first time I had a feeling Steven was not in dialogue, but rather spectator of the lecture. I enjoy every minute of it.

Wrote this while listening:

Stress: boosts immune system short term, crashes brain+body long term.
Modulation vital.
Sleep. Water. Movement. Meditation. Rest. Rhythm. Love. Don’t forget the gratitude. Bring a living attitude.
