I agree with your points. I feel like Huberman just goes on and on and on in excruciating details about various ultra-complicated processes in the human body, but there is little in the way of a useful summary or take-away. At the end, I don't know should I do with all this information, even if I was able to remember it. Maybe he just likes to hear himself talk.
Any time a podcast is sponsored by "athletic greens" it makes me chuckle, because the product seems like 99.9% marketing in such an obvious way. The name alone is ridiculous. Very much like "Alpha Brain" being hawked relentlessly by Joe Rogan.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoI just started listening to the cannabis episode and he spent several minutes discussing the various ways that nicotine (yes, nicotine) can be consumed. Why does an adult audience need a primer on how nicotine enters the body? And why spend several minutes on it? Is he talking to aliens who don’t know about the second-most consumed addictive substance on earth (his statistic)? It’s excruciatingly boring, but I keep hoping he’ll talk about the risks of cannabis on the brain and body. Maybe that comes in hour three after he’s told me the various ways humans consume water?
- pas 4y agoIt's because he's selling supplements... :/ I don't think he's dumb, but he's dangerously close to Dr Oz territory.
- chihuahua 4y agoIt took me a while to reach this conclusion, but I ended up unsubscribing from his podcast. It's just relentless biochemical babble with hardly any benefit to me. He even had an episode on sleep with his favorite "sleep supplement stack" and I tried that out and it doesn't do much for me. So maybe it's all just snake oil.
