I tried Andrew Huberman's Morning Routine for 100 DAYS and became LIMITLESS...

What if you had a limitless pill? The perfect morning routine that could set you up for success, but not be so intense that you have to plan your whole life around it? Andrew Huberman's morning routine does exactly that.

This video breaks down Andrew Huberman's perfect morning routine step-by-step in a digestible format, so you too can optimize your morning, day, and life.

Throughout this video I'll also share my experience with this routine, which I've been following for the better part of 4 months now.

In this routine, you'll find ways to increase dopamine levels for increased performance, focus and drive. Sleep best practices, NSDR meditations, the benefits of light on your energy levels, and how to do cold exposure, plunges, or cold showers.

Another key point of this routine delaying your caffeine intake by 60-90 minutes in order to avoid an afternoon crash or dip in energy. All of these factors added up impact your biology, hormone levels (testosterone, cortisol, dopamine, adenosine), which all help you feel great and perform well throughout the day.

It's also about balance, and integrating these science-backed techniques into your lifestyle. Try one or two of these, and see how the align with your unique life. It's made a major impact on my life for the better and I hope it can help you as well.

I found getting in a 25 or so min walk/jog before you start work is a game changer for energy.

I am taking cold showers for 8 years. I started it when I was depressed and was thinking of self harm. And I encountered wim hoff with cold bath and breathing techniques. It changed my life 100%
I will try to check this routine thanks

Thanks for the collection and synthesis of Dr. Huberman’s vast knowledge information. I appreciated the concise format you created as well as your own experience, strength and hope.

Great summarization and video quality, thanks for sharing 🔥🙏❣️

[jessegentry]

I a 73 and tried it and WoW it works beyond the imagination. Who'd think such things could work so great. The hardest part for me was the chilling cold bath.

This video has so much quality, needs more views!

[pfeiffew]

Very, very well put together video, you have definitely researched this well and you are definitely speaking from the benefit of experience, thank you 👍👍👍

Love the video, man. I’ve been listening to Huberman’s podcast for a while now but never realized all of these tips from various episodes come together as a part of a daily routine. I’ve been starting the day with sunlight, sauna, cold plunge and mild exercise for several months… totally agree on the benefits. Will need to work in the other parts of this daily routine as well.

[BrionyGunson]

Oh this is so useful! To break up the linear (analytical) and non-linear (creative) tasks into AM and PM deep work slots respectively. Thank you for this! I follow much of what he recommends already

Great video! Truth is our bodies and minds are built for routine. Whatever you do, find a routine. You can tune it to your lifestyle later, just find a routine now!!

Great vid! I get up in the morning and make my bed, and listen to a japanese language while getting ready for work. I blend half a lemon including the skin with some cayenne pepper, ginger, cinnamon and ice. I stretch and do some quick exercises to activate my core, glutes, and hamstrings, etc. When i get to work I usually have time to meditate with headspace and relax for a little while. At one point I was getting a little obsessive about trying to do every little thing (like including fasting, cold showers, really strict dieting) and I wasn't feeling too great. So i backed off a little and think I have a pretty good balance going on now!

This is awesome, I homeschool my sons and we do a version of the linear/nonlinear phase but we can work on honing in this routine, especially the morning. Thanks for outlining this!

[suzanneorpen]

Loved watching this video Derek. Love the fact even more that you Included Jiu Jitsu in there. I also train Jiu Jitsu *fist bump*, going to give the routine a go, it makes a lot of sense.

[thebuteykomethod]

Nice and practical. Also I liked your relaxed presentation style ❤️

[donnalewis]

Wow, so this is my routine. I thought I’d invented it haha.
This is almost identical to dinacharya taught in Ayurveda. All about most productive times of day and the different tasks to do when. There is a lot of great science to back this up. Also I see a lot of the productivity tips I also saw in a book called A Minute To Think (like turning off your phone and doing focus work with breaks etc). It’s like all the best bits in one routine.

For the last few years I’ve been on the Scottish barman routine

1. Wake up early after being up too late
2. Grab a large takeaway coffee on the way to work
3. Set up the bar while drinking said coffee
4. Have a smoke after setup
5. Get through the shift
6. Couple pints of Tennent’s after work and another couple smokes
7. Go home, spend too much time playing vidya games or if it’s the weekend have a night out drinking.

Repeat.

This is a great shout out to the brilliant Dr Hubermann and I love the way you condensed the knowledge he imparts, the other things I would have included (which I feel helps me a bunch personally) is breathing techniques (Look up his podcast episode: ‘How to breathe correctly for optimal health…’) and Intermittent fasting (basically only consuming caloric food and drink between 10am - 7pm). Both these techniques along with those you’ve mentioned have made huge differences for me. 👌🏻🤞🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for the video!! I love Hubberman, but I felt exactly what you explained. There were too many advices spread through too many videos. Top content, you have a new subscriber
