Huberman Lab · Eating for Better Sleep & Foods that Improve Metabolic Health | Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

I did an episode about eating disorders.

I talked to a lot of experts in this, including the group at

Columbia Med that works on eating disorders.

The frequency of anorexia, the most deadly psychiatric illness of all the psychiatric illnesses, I hadn't realized that, is not increasing as a function of social media or magazines or anything.

It's been very steady for maybe hundreds of years.

This is a real neurological issue.

There's obviously social pressures and things like that, but what I discovered in talking to experts like Joanna Steinberg at Columbia and others is that there is this, so that was about the anorexia, but what I'm about to say is separate.

There's this notion that if you're going to be thoughtful about what you eat, or maybe you're not going to eat too late, or you're going to skip dessert.

or until a few years ago, if you're not going to drink alcohol, there's something wrong with you.

You're being restrictive somehow.

I think, again, it's kind of like the parallels to Europe are kind of interesting, or the contrasts to Europe are interesting, where there's a lot of social convention built up around food that was healthy.

And I think in the United States, the social conventions built up around food and alcohol were pretty unhealthy.

It was like everyone does this.

Like everyone eats hot dogs at the game.

And hot dogs at a baseball game are a great thing.

It's like nothing is as American as that except maybe apple pie, right?

But there's this – when people start making choices in the direction of their health, it was – and to some extent it still is – there's this quieter undercurrent of –

Well, like, are you being restrictive?

Like, are you really going to live like that?

But then you look at the health outcomes.
