Andrew Huberman

Professor of Neuroscience, Stanford School of Medicine · Host, Huberman Lab Podcast

Huberman's framework is rooted in neuroscience and behavioural tools — light exposure, sleep, and stress management come first, with supplements playing a secondary, targeted role. He emphasises free, zero-cost protocols (morning sunlight, cold exposure, deliberate breathing) as the highest-leverage longevity tools.

Supplement Stack

Magnesium L-threonate
140 mg (as L-threonate)
II
Timing:30–60 min before sleep
Disabled autophagyMitochondrial dysfunction
Huberman specifically uses L-threonate for CNS penetration
Apigenin
50 mg
II
Timing:30–60 min before sleep
Disabled autophagy
Mild anxiolytic; Huberman uses for sleep onset
L-theanine
200 mg
I
Timing:30–60 min before sleep
Disabled autophagy
Omega-3 (EPA + DHA)
2–3 g
I
Timing:With largest meal
Microbiome alterationsDisabled autophagy
Vitamin D3
5000 IU
I
Timing:Morning with fat
Disabled autophagyMicrobiome alterations
Vitamin K2 (MK-7)
100 µg
II
Timing:With D3
Microbiome alterations
Creatine monohydrate
5 g
I
Timing:Any time (consistent daily)
Stem cell exhaustionNutrient-sensing dysreg.
Huberman cites cognitive as well as physical benefits
Alpha-GPC
300 mg
II
Timing:Before cognitive work or training
Telomere attrition
Acetylcholine precursor; Huberman cycles to avoid TMAO accumulation
Tongkat ali (Longjack)
400 mg
II
Timing:Morning
Stem cell exhaustion
Huberman uses for testosterone support; evidence is moderate
Fadogia agrestis
425 mg
III
Timing:Morning
Stem cell exhaustion
Huberman cycles this; limited human data, animal studies show LH stimulation. Use with caution.
Not in registry

Tier I = multiple RCTs in humans · Tier II = human trials, early stage · Tier III = mechanism / animal studies only

Lifestyle Pillars

  • 1Morning sunlight exposure within 30–60 minutes of waking (10–30 min) — anchors circadian rhythm
  • 2Deliberate cold exposure 2–3× per week (cold shower or ice bath, 1–3 min)
  • 3Resistance training 3× per week; cardiovascular training 2× per week
  • 4Non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) / yoga nidra — 10–20 min daily for stress and sleep
  • 5No caffeine for the first 90–120 minutes after waking (adenosine clearance)
  • 6Evening light management — dim lights and avoid blue light 2 hours before bed
  • 7Consistent sleep/wake schedule (±30 min, even on weekends)

Important Caveats

Fadogia agrestis has very limited human safety data; Huberman acknowledges this and cycles it. Alpha-GPC cycling is recommended to avoid TMAO elevation. Huberman's supplement recommendations evolve frequently — always check his latest podcast episodes for updates.
