The Huberman Lab

If you’ve listened to my Hallmark podcast, you’ll know I am a sucker for a big and burly man. And obviously, an intelligent one is an extreme plus. And thus, it is with great pleasure that I share my obsession with Dr. Andrew Huberman and his podcast, The Huberman Lab.

I discovered him when I was going through a bout of anxiety that was pretty bad that I had reached out to family and friends for support — a rarity for me. My aunt, Tita Lilet (aka the cool aunt) shared his podcast on managing stress. I still go back to it when I need a logical, burly man to tell me that I can manage it.

His podcasts are dense and hours long and as someone that edits podcasts, I can’t imagine being his editor producer because it is a lot of content. It takes me a couple listens to really digest everything he has to say and honestly, sometimes, I can’t keep up. But I kind of love that about him.

He floors me with his intelligence — and sure, there’s a lot of supplement advertising (who doesn’t?!) and how he can make everything sound so incredibly logical and science-y, that I can’t help but swoon. He’s got this, ok? Everything is based on fact, don’t worry.

I’ve listened to maybe a quarter of his pods and I’m glad I still have a whole backlog to get through because it’s so comforting to listen to him pontificate on how science solves everything. And yes, he’s really not bad on the eyes.
