Dr. Andrew Huberman

Summary

Dr. Andrew Huberman explores science-backed nutrients for brain health, cognition, and nervous system function. He discusses ten tools, including optimal sources and dosages for Omega-3 fatty acids, creatine, phosphatidylserine, anthocyanins, choline, and glutamine. The episode covers how these compounds impact brain function in healthy individuals and those facing cognitive decline. Dr. Huberman explains the three factors influencing food preferences: gut-brain signaling, perceived taste, and learned associations. He explores how to leverage these neural circuits to promote healthier food choices. The discussion includes new findings on non-caloric sweeteners and their potential negative effects when consumed with glucose-elevating foods. This comprehensive episode offers over ten actionable tools for improving and maintaining brain function, grounded in modern neuroscience of taste, food preferences, and brain metabolism. Referenced studies cover anthocyanins and cognition, creatine and brain health, and rethinking food reward.
