Every time I mention that I like Huberman's podcasts, I get bombarded with comments on how he's basically a fool, a liar, yadayada.
And when I read every link, trying to see if maybe I should ditch his podcasts... all I see is, at most, in very specific cases, that some scientists defend different theories.
Like... wow. Science in a nutshell.
That is specially funny once you actually listen to his podcasts, because he is constantly reminding people that his words are not the literal truth, that he is no cop, and that he is simply collecting some evidence and always asking for people to go research this information, consult their doctor/physician/professional...
Joe Rogan has like a 1000 clips that can give you absolute clues on how this guy is... well... not great. And my guess is that people are associating a big muscular man with another?
Has the podcast claimed that the white male is a superior species or what am I missing?
Come on, what kind of dark agenda does a guy like Huberman have when basically everything that he says can be condensed into:
- get good sleep
- do sport
- eat well
- go outside
?
Another thing I've seen is many articles pointing out his "bad romances" and other weird personal life details, as if that mattered somehow?
You forgot the most important bullet point: buy expensive and questionable nutritional supplements
I don't buy (pun intended) these arguments because I've been listening for months now and not a single time they made me think I needed to buy anything.
Supplements are generally discussed at the end of the podcast, as a last resort, with a big warning on consulting with a professional. Like any science-based program would.
Also there are no brands promoted, but components themselves.
