Huberman Lab · How to Improve Your Memory & Cognitive Function at Any Age | Dr. Alan Castel · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

I certainly feel my age when I have an injury or when I'm like, I'm tired, or why am I getting up at five in the morning now when I can't get back to sleep?

And sometimes it's a public figure.

But having these role models is really important.

And oftentimes it is apparent.

So probably my favorite podcast that I watched recently, yours was with your father, right?

Because you can see this dynamic and you can see like, gosh, this is an older person and this is the younger version, but they're different in so many ways.
