Andrew David Huberman (born September 26, 1975) is an American neuroscientist and podcaster. He is an associate professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He hosts the Huberman Lab podcast, which he started in 2021 and he is partner, scientific advisor and promoter of dietary supplement companies since 2022.

Early life and education

Huberman was born in Palo Alto, California, to his father, an Argentine physicist and Stanford University professor and his mother, a children's book author.

Huberman received a B.A. in psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1998, an M.A. in psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2000, and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of California, Davis, in 2004. He completed his postdoctoral training in neuroscience at Stanford under Ben Barres between 2006 and 2011.

Academic career

From 2011 to 2015, Huberman was an assistant professor of neurobiology and neuroscience at University of California, San Diego. In 2016, Huberman took a faculty position at Stanford University.

With David Spiegel, Huberman has carried out research on cortisol and anxiety-based depression. Huberman has led work investigating the regeneration of eye tissue in mice, which may have a future application in studying optical nerve regeneration in humans.

Podcasting and supplements

In 2021, with the encouragement of Lex Fridman, Huberman launched the Huberman Lab podcast. In episodes lasting several hours, Huberman talks about the state of research in a specific topic, both within and outside his specialty. As of 2023, the podcast had become the third most popular podcast in the US on Spotify platforms and the most followed show on Apple Podcasts. His YouTube channel has 4.6 million subscribers and his Instagram account 5.5 million.

Huberman is a proponent of biohacking, which means sticking to a strict daily routine that incorporates exercise and taking dietary supplements with the aim to improve ones individual productivity.

In April 2022, Huberman entered into a partnership with a Utah-based sport and nutrition company, Momentous. With it, he offers a line of Huberman Lab–branded dietary supplements.

Reception

In Time magazine, Jamie Ducharme has described Huberman as having a "massive and dedicated audience" with millions of fans. Joseph Zundell, a cancer biologist, trusts Huberman's expertise in neuroscience but also criticized him for, he said, extrapolating animal research for human use without appropriate scientific justification. Neuroscientist David Berson, who has known Huberman since his postdoctoral research and has been a guest on his podcast, says that Huberman's research is respected among neuroscientists, and described his podcast as "a fabulous service for the world," and a way to "open the doors" to the world of science.

Jonathan Jarry from the Office for Science and Society has questioned Huberman's promotion of "poorly regulated" dietary supplements. According to Jarry, The Huberman Lab podcast has been sponsored by "companies offering questionable products from the perspective of science-based medicine".

According to an article in Coda, Huberman has promoted anti-sunscreen views on his podcast, saying he's "as scared of sunscreen as I am of melanoma", and claiming that molecules in some types of sunscreen can be found in neurons 10 years after application; without providing any evidence. In a 2023 GQ article, Huberman said that he is not a "sunscreen truther" – a term used to describe anti-sunscreen conspiracy theorists.
