In this episode, I interview Dr. Robert Sapolsky, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Neurology & Neurosurgery at Stanford University. We discuss stress, what defines short-term versus long-term stress, and how stress can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on the context. We also discuss stress mitigation and how our sense of control over stress mitigation techniques, including exercise, determine health outcomes. Dr. Sapolsky explains some of the key effects of the hormone testosterone - how it can amplify pre-existing tendencies for aggression or sexual behavior, but that it does not produce those behaviors per se. He also explains how testosterone impacts our social hierarchies, sense of confidence, and willingness to embrace challenges of different kinds. He also explains how our behaviors and perceptions shape testosterone levels. And we discuss estrogen and the powerful role it plays in brain development, health and longevity. Finally, we discuss free will, what it means to have free will, and if we have any free will, including how knowledge alone might allow us to make better decisions for ourselves and society.

My love for neuroscience started watching Sapolsky's free lectures on youtube. Watching both of you together gives me a level of happiness that words cannot describe. Also reading Behave has made me a better human and one that's more compassionate with others (or at least that's what I try). Just thank you.

So the least corrupt countries who held their citizens hostage for the shortest amount of time had the lowest Boogey Virus rates. Of course.... because people don’t get sick from germs, they get sick from being scared and upset about something that happened in their lives. Enter the worldwide FEAR CAMPAIGN brought to you by governments who have lied for decades. Governments who allow synthetic foods on the market like fake butter, Twinkies, telling you to eat 10 servings of toxic grains a day in order to keep your heart healthy, meanwhile it's causing everyone to become diabetic....THIS is who you take health info from??! Governments that lied about the medical benefit of marijuana are now to be TRUSTED? The Germ Theory was never actually proven to be 100% accurate, yet the trillion dollar medical industry is entirely based on that theory. What's the CAUSE of death in people with this "virus"? Does their brain explode? Does their heart stop beating? The CAUSE of death is still pneumonia. Pneumonia is not something you can "catch". It's a biological result of being "scared to death" of something which is exactly what the media has done to people dumb enough to watch them. You've heard the term "Worried sick". That's because your BRAIN causes you to become sick due to the stress it is perceiving! Why do you think young kids aren't getting the Boogey Virus? Because they aren't sitting in front of the news being scared to death because they're too young to understand a Fear Campaign. These pathetic "experts" just make shit up to explain their narrative as they go. First they tell you kids bring home every illness from school because they're not "exposed" to enough things, then they say somehow they're immune to a Boogey Virus? Does anyone have common sense?! You don't show the symptoms of "disease" until you stop being panicked and afraid. These symptoms usually show up 1-2 weeks after you've relaxed and resolved the upsetting event. There's no such thing that some diseases you can "catch", but not all. It's not that complex! If you can't "catch" cancer, diabetes, MS, arthritis, etc., from other people, then you can't "catch" colds, flu and Boogey Viruses. So governments around the world are CAUSING fear frights in everyone based on an unproven THEORY by one man, Louis Pasteur, who redacted his claim of the germ theory on his death bed, yet no one listened. So of course, when everyone is allowed to escape the hostage situation the governments have put their people into, and they start relaxing about the Boogey Virus, that's not in any way transmissible, they will begin their healing phase (get sick), and believe they then have it, and more panic will ensue as well as martial law. The longer people allow this government to hold them hostage in their homes, the more severe the "sickness" will be. Can anyone put 2 and 2 together to figure out what I'm saying?? Western Medicine is pure fraud, and people's lives are destroyed because of it. There's no critical thinking anymore. The group thinkers are moronic and brain dead. People think they're educated because they've memorized the lies they've been told for 100 years.

@marvinedwards737
@marvinedwards737 2 роки тому
Those are great lectures. But I believe Sapolsky is making a serious error in suggesting that one must somehow be free of ones own biology in order to have free will. The whole person, including the brain and the chemical reactions required to experience their life, and to make choices as to what that whole person will do next, is not an argument against free will, but simply an explanation of how free will actually works. There is no such thing as "freedom from oneself". But there is our ability to choose for ourselves what we will do, while free of coercion and other forms of undue influence.

@marvinedwards737 2 роки тому
@@kjekelle96 I'm a compatibilist, so, for me, free will is a deterministic event, and freedom is a deterministic phenomenon. You see, freedom requires a world of reliable cause and effect. Without it, we could never reliably cause any effect, and would have no freedom to do anything at all. Free will is when we choose for ourselves what we will do, while free of coercion and other forms of undue influence. The act of deliberation is also deterministic, because the meaningful and relevant cause of our choice is our own purposes and reasons, our own thoughts and feelings.

I'm just one person, but I was able to beat deep longterm depression, to the extent that I got off of longterm antidepressants and am very happy and content by stopping talking about things that bother me and instead taking some time by myself and praying/meditating when I am frustrated or sad/stressed. For me NOT cementing my negative feelings through speech was a real game changer. Once my emotions were balanced, my mind became clear, and I was able to take control and make adjustments in my life that then created the changes I had wanted to see take place in my life.

Thank you for this, Dr Huberman. I feel super fortunate that I live in this era, where despite not living in the states, I got to listen to Dr Sapolsky's lectures online, and read the terrific books he had written. It was through his lectures I developed such a deep interest, and some understanding of human behaviour, which would simply not have been possible in a different era. Behave, in particular, has almost been the equivalent of a bible for me (an atheist), and even if some parts of it have been overwritten by new science, Sapolsky's structure of thinking about behaviour (1 sec before, seconds before, minutes before, hours and days before....) that combines all the different branches of science is simply unparalleled

Starting TRT 3 years ago was best choice ever. Finding a good doctor trained in it is important. I was depressed, tired , in constant joint and muscular pain, anxious and unmotivated before. Bloodwork showed my super low T and we fixed it. It was crazy how it helped me feel like myself again and continues to today 3-3.5 years later. Can’t stress importance of trained HRT doctors because endocrinologists just go more by the book and the books lack this research. My husband is in med school and wants to get into HRT because it is a field we feel is growing and truly helps people. And I’m sure if I went to a psychologist they would’ve just had me on antidepressants and antianxieties for the rest of my life instead which wouldn’t fix the problem and long term problems of low t. Thank you for this discussion, it needs to be spread. 👍🏻

Dr Sapolsky's human behavioural biology lectures are phenomenal, they inspired me to learn more about the subject and think about a change of career. Dr Huberman, your work on stress mitigation, the breathing exercises you provide and a "now or never" style statement you made once on a talk somewhere have been fantastic in encouraging me to take the first steps in that direction. I'm beginning a new journey thanks to the two of you and it's great to see you both on here, brilliant episode.

IS Insulin better than growth Hormone? Is tnfalpha(inflamation Hormone) better than il 1 ( anti inflamation Hormone) ? Is Cortisol better than aldosterone? No they are hormones and they have important Rules in every human, and depending on age, Sex, genetic Makeup, These Levels vary... And it's important, that These hormones stay in range, generally for Testosterone one can say the higher end of the range IS preferred in men. At least that IS what Most men will say, If they manipulate their hormones( Trt) or naturally, Like good health and or Testosterone boosting Supplements. For Cortisol ITS more complicated, for Estradiol also, for tnfa or other inflamatory hormones( cytokines) they should be low in a healthy Not acutely sick individual...

Just a reminder that two days ago, on April 6, 2022, Dr. Robert Sapolsky celebrated his 65th BD. For somebody who has watched our Incredibly Learned Professor giving his 25 lectures on Human biology in his Stanford Un. class walking back and forth in perpetual motion behind his long table, and continuously waving his arms to illustrate his point or draw a quick sketch on the blackboard, it was quite a surprise to listen to him literally glued to his chair, and barely getting some glimpses of him occasionally moving his arms.The new behavior is the tendency, when answering a question, of tilting his head backwards as if to pick up fresh thoughts from the air or the ceiling. The new look is a whiter, thinner beard, and a more sculpted face. This becomes even more striking in videos made the following year, 2022. Also he introduces a couple of neurobiological words I don't remember him using in the 2009-2012 Stanford lectures. What has remained unchangingly impressive is his control of the new literature he's been reading.

Sapolsky's definition of free will is a choice someone makes while "free from themselves".The biology of the person is not an external influence exercising control over the person. We cannot set ourselves in one corner of the room and set our biology in a different corner, and then claim that biology is forcing us to make choices against our will. One of those two corners is empty.

I've always been interested in behavior, but I've come to love neuroscience after watching Sapolsky's lectures on UKposts. I knew nothing about biology yet I understood and learned so much thanks to his great ability to break down complex concepts into smaller didactic pieces. This was incredibly stimulating.
