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

What habits are gonna stay with them and what things might change?

And I think in some ways there's a lot of things that you could see it kind of as a seed that just gets more pronounced as we get older.

but also that we're better at, you know, regulating emotions and doing things that when we're young, we're not so good at.

And we often think of like, how can we make older people, you know, better by making them look younger?

And in fact, I sometimes think, gosh, how could we instill some of that, not just the wisdom, but make younger people feel like older people in some ways, kind of from a psychological standpoint, you know, better at regulating emotions, less likely to take risks.

We run a lot of simulations in our brain, like what if I did this?

Or what if I didn't do that?

Or what if I met this person?

Or what if I took this job?

And I think at some point when you're young, maybe that's helpful, like trying to figure out what would work out best.

But as you're older, it's like, well, these things have happened and I've learned from them.

And yeah, I think it's really interesting to think of that as, what if?

What if this happened?

And you can get yourself into a lot of trouble thinking, what if that happens?

And the world can be an incredibly dreary place when you think of it that way.

But it's also amazing to see.

And maybe that's why I'm interested in older adults.

It's like, look, these people, 70, 80, 90,

I'm not just looking at the 90-year-olds who are doing incredible things.

I'm looking at the 90-year-olds who are perhaps at peace with themselves, feel comfortable talking about things that they want to talk about.
