To some, Dr. Andrew Huberman is a modern-day hero who saves lives; to others he is a manipulative narcissist or a sociopath. So who is Andrew Huberman really? And more importantly, does it even matter as long as he still provides good quality information?
I mean, it is good quality science information, isn't it?
This video will take you on a wild ride. We will cover facts about his character, credibility, science, motivation, and his performance secret.

I’ve spent countless hours creating this video. It was made by analyzing vast amount of data from multiple sources. And after digging deep, I was blown away with what I’ve uncovered. If you watch the whole video, you’ll know exactly what I mean. You will never look at dr. Andrew Huberman the same again.

Huberman science – A Case Study based on Tools to Enhance Working Memory & Attention episode:
[ Ссылка ]
Studies used to support his argument that increasing dopamine, through substances like bromocriptine improves working memory:
Study 1: a 2008 correlational study done on 25 students [ Ссылка ]
Study 2: a 1979 study on 15 rhesus monkeys with severely depleted dopamine, sold by Huberman as a study on people (‘individuals’): [ Ссылка ]
Study 3: a 2011 study completely misrepresented by Huberman (no significant main effect of bromocriptine and no significant effect on high WM individuals, no multiple levels of dosage of bromocriptine, did not use words). Study done on 13 people (21-30 years old), where only 5 have shown significant effect: [ Ссылка ]
Analysis extended from the original study:

Additional study mentioned later, where Huberman says that Tyrosine improves working memory in multitasking environment but does NOT mention that the same study did not find a significant effect of Tyrosine on standard working memory tasks. That despite massive dose of Tyrosine taken: [ Ссылка ]

Studies that Huberman did not mention in the episode:
A 2020 study that directly contradicts Huberman claims: a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (63 participants). A group with dopamine boost had significantly WORSE outcomes on working memory tasks. [ Ссылка ]
And finally, a 2023 systematic review of 19 double-blind, placebo controlled trials (633 participants) of effects of use of dopamine increasing substances on working memory, which directly CONTRADICTED Huberman claims. Only 1 in 19 studies have found significant effects of increasing dopamine on verbal working memory: [ Ссылка ]
