    Apr 23 2024

    Today we're going to talk about some hard subjects--adultery, violence, power, and psychopathy. During the last few weeks I've been in touch with many amazing people from all around the internet who are trying to understand how deep the problems with Andrew Huberman really go. One of the people I met was the sex and relationship counselor Kate Balestreri and I'm so glad that we had some time to sit down together.

    Apr 9 2024

    The science of ice bathing has been evolving a lot in the last few years. Brad Schoenfeld is a PhD in physiology and hypertrophy (literally building muscle) who just completed a metastudy analysis that showed that ice bathing after working out could kill the muscle gains.

  • 43. What's Wrong with Huberman's Science? | ft Dr. Andrea Love
    Apr 2 2024

    So maybe you don't care about what happens in Andrew Huberman's personal life. So long as his science checks out, what's the harm? Well, I hate to break it to you but his science doesn't really check out either. From cherry-picked results to quack "protocols" Huberman frequently overextends his knowledge and starts shilling pseudoscience. This week on the show I talk to the immunologist Dr. Andrea Love to set the record straight. You can find out more about Dr. Love at her website: Website: https://www.immunologic.org/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@dr.andrealove

  • 42. The Skeleton Business's Murderous Legacy
    Mar 28 2024

    At its height, the bone factories in Calcutta exported more than 60,000 anatomical skeletons a year to medical programs all over the world. Most of the bones had been looted from graves and burning ghats. Still, anatomy processors made millions of dollars stealing and then exporting those bodies abroad. Today, those hundreds of tons of human remains are in closets and specimine collections all around American and Europe...and now we need to decide what to do with them. Today my guest is Sabrina Agarwal a professor and the chair of the department of anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley who specializes in bioarchaeology. She just wrote an article in Nature digging into the ethical dilemma we all face when thinking about how to deal with the legacy of the skeleton trade. "The bioethics of skeletal anatomy collections from India" in Nature

  • 39. Gurus, Gatekeepers, and the Conspirituality Wellness Cult with Derek Beres of the Conspirituality Podcast
    Mar 5 2024

    This week the author and hose of the Conspirituality podcast, Derek Beres joins me to talk about the strange axis between spirituality, wellness and conspiracy theories that have taken over the internet. We don't pull any punches in this conversation, touching on the rise of anti-vaccine conspiracies, lizard people, coffee enemas, and how the neuroscientist Andrew Huberman has seemed to shuck off the aura of respectability and turned into a full-throated pseudoscientist.

  • 38. The Night Hag: Sleep Paralysis in the Age of Insomnia
    Feb 27 2024

    Have you ever woken up while you were dreaming, only to find that you couldn't move a muscle? Or, perhaps even more terrifying: have you woken up and felt a deep weight on your chest and sensed that an evil creature was pushing down on your chest? That, my friend, is the night hag--another name for sleep paralysis. I recently had a chance to chat with Kate Kavanaugh @katekavanaughmbs --a world famous butcher and host of the Mind, Body, Soil Podcast about the strange things that happen when we close our eyes at night. I've known Kate from a few interviews that we've done together over the years, and this is a re-broadcast of her show on my channel.
