Dr. Andrew Huberman, welcome to the show.

Thanks. I'm super happy to be here. I'm a huge fan of your show. I've been from the beginning,

and I'm just excited to get into it.

Man, thank you for saying that I've been following you for a long time, and I also am a huge

fan of everything you're doing,

and we got a lot to dive into. But I wanted to, I had a whole outline that I wanted to do,

and then I found a little bit about your backstory, and I thought, that's kind of what we do here is backstories that's

how it all started and and I didn't realize you have a quite interesting

quite the interesting backstory and and it didn't sound like it was easy for

you growing up so I'd like to kind of start there because I think that

brings a lot of hope to

to everybody, but especially to kids that are growing up in a tough environment. And then we'll get

into a lot of the medical stuff. But everybody starts off with an introduction. So Andrew Huberman,

Ph.D. You're a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurology, Neurobiology,

and by courtesy, psychiatry and behavioral sciences

at Stanford School of Medicine.

You have made numerous significant contributions

to the fields of brain development, brain function, and neuroplasticity,

which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behavior, skills, and cognitive functioning.

You're the offer of the upcoming book Protocols and Operating Manual for the Human Body. When's that going to come out by that? April of 25.

That sounds incredible.
