“Yeah, and then there'll even be people that say, you know, was it even science, right? It might have all been deception. It might have been one part deception, one part goal setting mixed in with clearly that there were so many factors impacting what happened. I think the big difference between Theranos and that story and some of the other stories about Silicon Valley where people promised a lot more than they could deliver is they were promising things that were directly related to health and healthcare. People were taking blood tests with the understanding that the data they were getting was important, information about sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases and making real world decisions on the basis of that. Whereas if you remember when the iPhone first came out and Steve Javis was still alive and the phones were dropping calls if you held it in a particular way and his response was a little flip, he said it's, hey folks, it's a phone as if like don't get so worked up. But people held him understandably to a very high standard.”

“The important components of the conversation that other people have not been able to do, which for instance Liz Holmes, this is one of the most mysterious and yet disliked people on the planet. She's sort of synonymous with deception. I don't know if there have been any real interviews of her since the whole thing. I haven't followed that case. I listened to the book and I followed it a little bit because it was happening in my hometown, right? Theranos was right up the road. The building's still there. It's interesting. It's some of the most premier real estate in Silicon Valley, but nobody wants it. It's sort of like, it's very hard to sell a home where somebody committed suicide or committed a murder, even if it's a beautiful home. They sort of feel like the Theranos building is that building. So that would be a really interesting interview. I would love to hear that interview.”

“Narcissism and sociopathy. The other thing that I took away from a conversation with a friend who did a lot of years in special operations in the intelligence community, he said, you know, if you look at somebody's past, at some point you will come to understand some pretty good reasons as to why they became who they are. But you have to draw the his words, the red line someplace and what he was referring to was the fact that certain people, at least in the eyes of certain communities, deserve to be eliminated as a consequence of their actions, right? Regardless of what drove them to those actions. So it gets right down to the line between nature nurture neuroscience and the law and justice. Complicated, complicated themes. I can think of a number of people that I would love to hear you interview. And here I'm not revealing the reasons why, but except for the fact that I think you would be uniquely suited to bring out”

“The first person. And so those are unique individuals. And even if they tapped into these things, as you mentioned, as a more minor level, as opposed to impacting people negatively at scale. So being able to access those different parts of oneself is key. And you've been willing to step into that. My podcast is not one in which we get down to those matters But you never know. We might do an episode on.”

“This element of evil and sociopathy, that Jung had this notion that we have all things inside us and that we all have the capacity to be good or evil, etc. But I have the good fortune of working with somebody who has deep understanding of psychiatry, but also psychoanalysis and Jungian theory. And he said to me recently, he said, you know, whether or not all people have all things inside them is still debated in the psychology community and in the neuroscience community. And as a matter of philosophy. But there are certain people, not many, but there are certain people for whom they've actually lived out many versions of their possible selves.”

“And my response to those is always that I have a lot of opinions about that, but not a lot to say. But whereas you've become far braver in terms of the topics you'll encounter, and some of your guests have been a bit controversial, right? Some of them are people that not a lot of That a lot of people don't like. And you've been willing to just sit down and maybe it's the jiu-jitsu thing.”

“Because you asking an expert about something, like sitting here with you when we recorded the podcast where you were a guest on the Huberman Lab podcast. And for the first time and finally, someone was explaining to me the difference between machine learning, artificial intelligence, and all these other things. I've finally forgiven you for making me cry about Costello. Camera Because it helped me move through it. But in all seriousness, the interview ones are. Are a sheer pleasure. The solo ones I really enjoy, but their work sometimes I think like I'm going to sweat a little blood prepping for them.”

“And David's one of those guys who just walk into your office, he just sit down and you just start talking to you. And so there's a kind of a family feel. It's like cheers or Seinfeld or one of those shows where somebody just walks in. And yeah, I think you and I both share a love of the community around things. And podcasting is a little bit more isolated. I should say for the guest episodes, the preparation is completely different because it's more conversational. And so there I don't do any of this business of putting myself into state. I just try and make sure that the guest is taking care of. I do list out the questions I'm going to ask before but those actually really like the interview episodes far more than I like doing the solo ones.”

“In academia, this change in the last few years, of course, but one of the great joys was professors will stop by your office or your lab. Nobody set up an appointment. There's a guy when I was a professor in San Diego, a guy named Harvey Cartney. He's a member of the National Academy. He's truly the world's expert in the evolution of vision and evolution of brains generally. And he would show up in my lab and he would just start talking to the students and postdocs. I mean, a pure encyclopedia. And then at some point, you'd say, hey, Harvey, I got to go and you kick him out, right? Or this guy, he's a physicist, David Kleinfeld, who's the same way. Actually, David Kleinfeld's interesting one. A student of his went to create the Beavis and Butthead cartoon. And one of them is David. He's a physics professor. Now people can look him up.”

“But the fact you ate dinner together is really interesting. But prior to that, we ate dinner together every night. I was expected to know how to use my knife and fork. And it was like a very structured thing. I don't know if kids do that now. You know, if I ever have kids, they're going to do that. And certainly actually on the way over here, I was thinking, I was like, you know, I really want a lot of kids. I want like a whole litter. And I was thinking if Lex has kids and I have kids, then we can pit them against each other with jiu-jitsu. Yeah, for sure. This is my chance at redemption. It's a long game. Right?”

“Many of the best areas of life are their own form of hypnosis, right? True. You know that you're in hypnosis if, for instance, you're in a movie and something happens and you feel the emotional lift without being self-conscious about it. Yes, I think that one thing that we've tried to do in our house is around mealtimes to try and set a state. That food isn't just something that we just throw down on our throats. And I'm fortunate that my partner cooks really well. And so I try and give her the space to do that. And that's a whole thing of her getting into state.”

“Shared it out loud, but Rick was the one who encouraged me to find a process that works and continue to develop that process and not let anything get near that process.

“Know, I just start to really access my love of the work. And then when we finally sit down, meaning my producer, Rob and I, and record, I just sort of want to just bask in sharing it, just like the little version of me when I was six or seven, I used to spend all weekend reading the encyclopedia Guinness Book of World records, making my mother drive me places to introduce me to, I had this obsession with trapping animals when I was a kid, meet these people. And then on Monday, I would insist on giving a lecture in class as a little kid. So that's basically what it is. I just try and access that childlike energy. And so I want to be clear. The goal is always to make the information interesting, clear, and actionable. And it's also surprising, then that's a bonus. But that's basically the process. But yeah, I'm singing and talking and getting into state. And I used to feel very sheepish about sharing any of this. It's the first time I've ever”

“And on the podcast, if there's a paper, like for instance, we have a paper, excuse me, a podcast coming out soon about heat as a tool, sauna, but some other things. And in researching this, I learned so much about these heat shock proteins and the use of sauna in Finland for increasing growth hormone, but also for the treatment of mental illness. And I realized I fell in love with this literature. It's just a beautiful literature. These people are true pioneers for doing this work. Now everyone's in the sauna, but this was 20 years ago. The way the experiments were done were amazing with all these Finnish people with thermocouples up their rectum to measure temperature swimming in pools. It's hilarious and great. And so I start to think about and I think,”

“Love and beauty, but also darkness and hatred. And if you're talking about the Lex Friedman podcast, you have to address the shadow. Also, the shadow side. But I think about the, I want to communicate the beauty and utility of biology. And then I check my emotional state. I want to make sure that I'm not angry about anything. And certainly, if I am that I'm going to set it aside for the podcast, because that's not a place for whatever I might be dealing with. I also really start to feel into the parts of the research and the papers I found that I really love because that's the part of me that I like the most, frankly.”

“Don't have that opportunity, right? There are no visuals in my podcast. So what I try and do is always. Get my voice warmed up and make sure that I'm thinking and speaking at approximately the same rate. And then I also do this thing of I put my vision into panoramic vision when I walk, which is very calming. And then I actually start to remind myself of the purpose of podcasting. This sounds very mission statement-y, but you asked what I do. I remind myself first and foremost that what I want to communicate, what I want to come through is the beauty and utility of biology. And I only feel comfortable saying the word beauty publicly now about science things thanks to you because I think...”

“So there are days when I have so much energy that I'm trying to speak faster than I should in order to articulate properly. There are other days when I'm tired and I can't sort of keep up with my thoughts. And so what I try and do is assess that and then adjust the transmission, the RPM, so to speak. For instance, I can speak very quickly and then I can slow down. So I can change the cadence of my voice. And when you teach in the classroom, you learn, as you know, because you're an excellent teacher. I've watched your lectures in the classroom, as you teach in the classroom when you want to slow down, every teacher knows you turn to the whiteboard or chalkboard and you start writing, right? It gives you a break. And then you turn around and you fire back the kind of machine gun fire of information. And then you slow down or you underline.”

“I often sing them. And fortunately, nobody hears. And as I do this, I start to evaluate whether or not I'm straining to get the words out or whether or not I'm straining to make them slow enough so that I can articulate them.”

“Is too high or too low for podcasting. Because when you podcast, as you know, you have to punch out a lot of material, but then there's times when you really need to slow down and emphasize and articulate. And so what I do, I've never revealed this, what I do actually is I will recite the lyrics of songs for about 10 minutes, songs I love, while I walk out loud.”

“I try and do a couple of things. First of all, when I was a kid, I had a little bit of a grunting tick. When I was five or six, I would feel this buildup of tension in my throat and I would do this grunting tick. If I get very tired, I start to do it still. We actually know that this is related to these basal ganglia circuits for go, no go. You've got an accelerator and a break, basically, in your neural circuitry. And kids with tourettes and OCD, the break doesn't work quite as well. And so one thing that happens is if I wake up in the morning and especially if I'm well rested, well, if I'm not well rested, I do a hypnosis or yoganidra in order to recover my sleep that works really well. But then once I'm into the process of preparing the podcast, I've already gone through my notes. I know what I want to say more or less in kind of general contour. And then I take a walk and I try to, so no phone with me and I try to assess whether or not my energy”

“There's one quote that I've seen out there where he says, you know, I'm like talking about himself. He says, you know, I'm like the fish that got through the net. There's no stage version of me, how he is in person is, how he is out in the world. And of course, there's nuance to his life, right? And his different relationships, of course. But it's true. I mean, we've had the great fortune of spending time with him out away from the microphones, so to speak. Joe is Joe.”

“Well, I have to say, and this has actually come up in some of our conversations about you, I mean, you are an artist. And actually Joe Rogan, once I heard him talking about podcasting and the fact that he's always trying to get better at it, you know, and he described podcasting at one moment as an art, right? And it is. It's a certain medium of communication. And there's a cadence and a rhythm that when it's working, it really can facilitate the transfer of information. When it's not, it doesn't. I mean, obviously Joe, just being himself has tapped into that cadence that allows, and it's made so many people excited to hear him talk.”

“That's a very Rick Ruben kind of thing, right? That the details really matter. The details really matter right down to your relationship to the microphone, right? Yeah. Distance and whether or not it brings out the timbre in your voice. But of course, this is what he does, he produces music”

“When I learned that it just made natural sense to introduce you. And I know he really enjoyed meeting you. And we talk about you a lot. And of course, in a positive light, I think his dedication to getting into these states of mind and his willingness to do that has completely transformed my routines around life. Like, for instance, before doing a very long podcast recording, the solo ones, which often take me several hours or more, six hours to record, sometimes more, sometimes less, I realized that there's a certain brain state associated with that. So I have to really limit the kind of interactions I have for the two hours before. I actually walk and talk out loud through my neighborhood. People think I'm crazy. But I live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of crazy. Creatives anyway.”

“Yes, I do because hypnosis is a, you limit the context, you're very alert, and you're very calm. And he has a number of these different practices. And so we would talk about those. And then we also have enjoyed a lot of discussions about deep neuroscience. In fact, I introduced Rick to a friend of mine who's a neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, and they've become friendly. You know, Rick is one of these people that he sort of defies definition, incredibly kind, incredibly private person too. So, you know, I'm being respectful of that. And then, of course, he's a fan of your podcast.”

“Or more, he'll do that. He has routines to allow himself to get into state. And it's really inspired me to think about states of mind as something that we'd all love to just flip the switch and say we're focused or we're creative, but to actually ratchet through the challenging steps in order to do that and to figure out what one needs to do on a regular basis to get into a proper state. It's not just going to come from a cup of coffee, a lamp of a particular wavelength or something. It's going to be those things, but it's also going to be really teaching oneself how to get into proper state.”

“Rick, I'm very blessed to consider a close friend. Rick and I got introduced through a common friend during the pandemic, and we started doing some FaceTime together and just talking about things related to science and health. I'm not a musician. I have no musical ability or talent. I have a good ability to memorize lyrics and I love lyrics and I love poetry. So I asked him a lot of questions about musicians that I happen to love that he's worked with and knows. He would give me stories about musicians and I would talk to him about health and then eventually we formed a friendship where we would talk about any number of different topics in life. And then we started spending time together in person when he was in town or nearby. You now know, Rick.”

And I think that, you know, at the end of the day, you're as strong as your community and you can build a wonderful community just by pointing out things that you love. Like these are all just loves. I see a paper and I love it. Only rarely do I think, oh, I wish we had done that. I usually think fantastic. Now I can just focus on something else because they checked off that box.”

“Whereas in social media and elsewhere in the business sector, it's almost like citing other people. People feel as if it's going to take away some of the credit. All it does is place you in the company of people that do really nice work. So I have Tremet and I have genuine and tremendous respect for Tim. He's been about 10 years ahead on a huge number of health-related things and other things, an extremely kind person, very thoughtful person. So it's also just a pleasure to shine light on other people. Yeah.”

“You know what's interesting there's some cool physiology around this. The reason he needed to eat so much is not that he was burning that many calories in pure movement. It's that when you do exercise in water, even if it's warm water, the heat transfer in water is greater. So you burn far more calories. And again, here I'm admittedly lifting that from knowledge that was passed on to me by Tim Ferris. But I checked it out, and it's absolutely true. So if you exercise in water, even if it's not really cold water, your caloric needs go way up, which is why you get out of the pool and you're often really hungry.”

“There's a place in Portland. I don't know if it's still open called Little T's Bakery. And they have croissants that easily rival the croissants in Paris. People make a lot of the pastry in Paris, but it's really the bread in Paris that's amazing. We lived there when I was a kid. We did a sabbatical there. And, you know, there they do the Baguette morning bake and afternoon bake. And there's nothing like the bread in Paris or the people. But if you're in the Pacific Northwest, you can find amazing croissants there.”

And now I just try and eat well most days. And what's interesting is about 12 to 14 months ago, I completely lost all appetite for sweets. I don't know what happened. I still love savory food. So meat and butter and cheese. And I love vegetables too. I love fruit also, but lost all appetite. So if you put a donut in front of me or ice cream or something like that, I just, it's almost aversive to me. And I don't know what happened. I don't know what changed.”

They went to 26.3 different locations in New York. They put it on a map. And I never took it to that extreme.”

“You know, at the time, I enjoyed it. I love donuts, croissants, all that kind of stuff. What's interesting is after stopping that whole protocol, now I just try and eat well. It's really a protocol. Now I basically, I do a pseudo-intermittent fasting. I'm not really strict, but I'll start it eating around 11, eat my first meal around 11. I usually train in the morning, eat my last bite of food somewhere around 8 or 9, and I'm not super strict. I might have some berries or something late at night.”

“No, no pasta. So it wasn't low carb, but it was low glycemic carb. And I did that, and it worked terrifically well just for energy levels because I want to be able to train and work. And then one day a week, you're supposed to go full cheat day. And so I would do what used to be 12 hours, but then it became 24. You start to redefine what the day is. And I would, and that was when Costello was pretty young, and we would do it together. So I would get pizzas and croissants and donuts. And I would just do the full thing. And by the end of the day, you don't want to look at an item of food. You're just repulsed by food. The only modification I made was the next day I would fast completely just to avoid the gastric distress of eating anything. And so I would do them on Sundays and then Mondays I'd fast all day. And then by Tuesday, I felt pretty good again. But Sunday and Monday, or you just feel like you're sliding down the slope of just blood sugar disaster.”
