AMA #11: Improve Task Switching & Productivity and Reduce Brain Fog

Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast, a new podcast from Dr. Andrew Huberman. The podcast can also be found on YouTube.

Katey and Quigley discuss an episode of “Huberman Lab,” a science-driven podcast hosted by Stanford neurobiologist Andrew Huberman. In the “Huberman Lab” episode, two scientists discuss the value of a good night’s sleep. Katey and Quigley talk about their own struggles with keeping a steady sleep schedule and whether this podcast is able to boil down all of its scientific intricacies into terms we all can understand. Huberman is a highly complex science podcast. Does it speak to people who don’t know science? Should you check it out?  Listen to the "Huberman Lab" episode we talked about here!

Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. (neuroscientist, host of Huberman Lab Podcast) joins us to talk about the beauty and utility of biology. He provides practical tips for stress regulation and improving sleep, and explains the benefits of natural light and cold exposure. Mayim and Dr. Huberman discuss the neuroscience behind acting and mimicry, the physical symptoms of workaholism, and the correlation between dopamine, focus, and motivation. They consider the use of self-hypnosis to regulate your internal state, the negative side effects of social media on our physical bodies, and what the deprivation of healthy physical connection can lead to. They explain ways to control adrenaline to benefit us in times of crisis, the relationship between our eyes and our internal state, and the origins of EMDR and clinical hypnosis.Huberman Lab Podcast: https://hubermanlab.com/category/podcast-episodes/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik
