Huberman is kinda grifter-adjacent. He over-extrapolates from mechanistic studies for ad-revenue. I'd replace him with the Barbell Medicine folks. Check out th

  That word gets thrown around way too much about him. He's many things, but not a grifter. Look up the definition if you don't believe me. And of course he's not perfect, but there's still a boatload of worthy information coming from his podcasts. He's disappointed me multiple times, but again, there's worthy nuggets of knowledge gathered there.

    That's why I specifically described him as "grifter-adjacent". He's obviously a talented scientist and he's always careful to qualify his claims, but he still ends up with an audience that takes away conclusions that ignore the qualifications. He knows this because this is the only way to keep pumping out content because what we know actually works is the same old boring stuff no one wants to pay attention to. Compare this to folks like the Barbell Medicine guys, run by MDs who have a sworn duty to do no harm, and their advice. Watch enough of their episodes and you'll often be able to predict what they'll say because they're relying on what we know works, whether from programming of strength training or medical advice. (Their recent episode on the Common Cold is a particularly useful episode to contrast with Huberman.)
