Full Episode
The following is a conversation with Andrew Huberman, his fifth time on the podcast. He is the host of the Huberman Lab podcast and is an amazing scientist, teacher, human being, and someone I'm grateful to be able to call a close friend. Also, he has a book coming out next year that you should pre-order now called Protocols, an Operating Manual for the Human Body.
And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got Eight Sleep for naps, Element for electrolytes, AG1 for nutrition, Shopify for e-commerce, NetSuite for business management software, and BetterHelp for mental health. Choose wisely, my friends.
Also, if you want to work with our amazing team or just want to get in touch with me, go to alexfreedman.com slash contact. And now onto the full ad reads. As always, no ads in the middle. I try to make these interesting, but if you must skip them, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This episode is brought to you by Asleep and it's pod for ultra.
First of all, Pod 4 is an improvement over the Pod 3, which was already awesome. 2X the cooling power. I always love it when stuff is just improving. When smartphones are improving, LLMs are improving, like jump to Claw 3.5. It's just great. And GPT-5 might be coming out soon. It's just great. It's great to see improvement.
But also there's the Ultra part, which is an extra layer that adds the base that goes between the mattress and the bed frame, and the base can control the physical position of the actual mattress. So basically you can sleep in your bed and you can also read in your bed, which is a thing that I think a lot of people like doing. I have trouble reading too much in my bed because I fall asleep.
The bed is just too nice. Anyway, go to 8sleep.com slash Lex and use code Lex to get $350 off the Pod 4 Ultra. This episode is also brought to you by Element, the drink that Andrew and I consume a lot of during the episode. I drink a lot of Element almost, not almost, on every single podcast episode, that's just what I drink. I put Element in the water, I take, I have one next to me right now,
Powerade zero bottle with 28 fluid ounces, fill it up with water, put one packet of element in there, usually watermelon salt, mix it all up, put in the fridge, and about 30 minutes later, there's cold, refreshing deliciousness. But yeah, in the Texas heat, when I'm doing the long runs or hard training sessions, like I just did 10 rounds the other day,
in uh grappling no drinks i usually don't like to drink during training so afterwards you're just your body is completely dehydrated and that's such an amazing feeling to replenish it with all the electrolytes you need so especially when it's cold and delicious i love it get a sample pack for free with any purchase try it at drinkelement.com lex
This episode is also brought to you by AG1, an all-in-one daily drink to support better health and peak performance. It's kind of hilarious how when Andrew and I hang out, how the supplementation and the diet and just our way of being is on point. There's a lot of AG1 consumed. There's a lot of element consumed. And there's a lot of ground beef or steak consumed on a regular basis.
