Firstly, I disagree with the core premise of the article. What Huberman does is worthy of applause and respect; I've watched about 20 videos of his, and I've never had the impression he pushes supplements on people. On the contrary, he sometimes even acknowledges people that prefer not to take supplements and says that's a completely reasonable stance as well. His job is informative, and he only recommends what he actually takes and has experimented with. Secondly, I often find it useful to regard The Huberman Lab (his podcast) as a natural extension of his teaching at Stanford. He just goes as deep as he can, mentioning papers, and getting into the actual science of things, because he's a geek and a passionate researcher first and foremost. I see some people complain he's too boring. I disagree; the problem is people expect that learning is supposed to be a light and fun exercise. The thing is, true learning takes time and a lot of effort. Otherwise, you'll just forget about what you're learning. When you listen to Huberman you might need to take notes and re-watch episodes to fully get a mental model of the things he talks about. If you just want tips and suggestions: sure, listen to it casually. But if you want to be in a position where you can precisely explain to someone why a certain intervention or practice is good, then expect to put in the time. Personally, I even prefer reading the transcripts and taking notes instead of listening to him, though often I would only do that after I'm determined to learn deeply about a topic and I've watched a list part of the episode.
