Huberman is a clown. Strong Medicine (channel by an actual MD) made a good video where he politely calls out Huberman.
First time I hear about him and he sounds like one. The misinformation out of extrapolation and speculation type.
Nice and thoughtful video, thanks for sharing! But he calls out two tweets of him, saying that Hubermann probably doesn’t really think that way, so saying he is a clown is perhaps a bit much? I enjoy his podcast a lot, but I fully get the point that Strong Medicine makes. Nevertheless, Hubermann gives a lot of very nicely packaged advice, on how to tweak here and there to get a bit more from one’s everyday life - but those tweets are really horrendous I must say
I like Huberman but he's too dunked into social media and I have no interest in supplement health. He often talks like someone who spends too much time on twitter. But he's got some solid guests and great topics that often compliment what I do with my therapist.
I'd hate for people to pick up on this thread and immediately say everything he does is useless or misinformed. I don't listen to everything he does because they are long podcasts, and I don't like podcasts in general, but people here can be helped by listening to some of it. Depression, menopause, emotional intelligence, motivation, sleep - well informed guests and Huberman leaves them to do most of the talking.
Definitely not a clown though. That's a bad take.
There's a reason why the vast majority of MDs familiar with Huberman regard him as a joke.
