Dr. Alok Kanojia, MD, MPH ("Dr. K"), is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and expert in both Eastern and Western medicine to improve mental health. He explains tools for unlearning maladaptive thoughts and behavior patterns and for making behaviors that better mental and physical well-being more reflexive in work, relationships and daily life. We also discuss ways to resolve trauma, build stress tolerance, increase intrinsic motivation and even change temperament. We also discuss how social media, gaming and online dating shape our identity and perceptions and how to navigate them healthily.

I like these topics but there are just SO Many ads splattered throughout every episode that it's becoming more annoying than helpful to bother listening to this show.
Hello Huberman Lab team, I live in Iran and have limited access to academic guidance and stable internet. My undergraduate degree is in Geography, and I’m interested in transitioning into neuroscience. I would truly appreciate any general advice or resources Dr. Huberman might recommend for applicants from unrelated backgrounds. Thank you for your work and time. Raha
The biggest genocide of century happened in Iran. The nation will always carry the wound of this Holocaust 😔🖤❤️🩹
Please speak up for people of IRAN!!! They murder people, profit from their deaths, and shut down the internet to erase the evidence. This is Iran today. Be the voice of the people. Being seen saves lives. #DigitalBlackoutIran #Internetshutdowniran #IranRevolution2026 💚🤍♥️
🚨🚨The criminal Islamic Republic regime has shut down the internet for six days. It is killing Iran’s children in darkness, away from the eyes of the world. Be the voice of the Iranian people.🆘️
🔆ALL EYES ON IRAN. INTERNET CUT OFF by Iran regime and all land lines cut as well. Be the voice of Iranian people who fight bravely all over the country. Millions are in the streets right now 🔆
As someone who grew up in the same time as this guy I can say without fear of doubt is a complete........idiot. A self described hippy male feminist, is completely disaaociated with real outcomes. A true unadulterated idiot
Amazing episode. It feels like we need a new kind of men's club. The crisis of male identity is visible across the entire spectrum — even politicians are trying to capitalize on it in their campaigns. We really need to have an honest conversation about what it means to be a man today.
three f* hours podcast 🤩🤩 awesome
so so many ads!!!
excellent, all round episode
amazing podcast, learned so much from this. thank you
M6n

Hi from Iran, thank you for your super informative podcast. Just one thing: pls consider that some of your listeners are not native English. I sometimes find it hard to understand your point.
I'm in love with your podcast episodes. I'm Iranian, and it's hard for me to understand spoken English. Is there any place where I can read the full transcript of the episodes? Please, I would really appreciate your response.
ya know, ya know, ya know, ya know, ya know, ya know, ya know, ya know.... lost count after 200+ very distracting. i fixed my proble. with ya know. you should look into it also.
I have a question about the cortisol in the am, any suggestions if it's still dark out within 30 minutes of waking?
