The following is a conversation with my dear friend, Andrew Huberman, his fourth time on this podcast. It's my birthday, so this is a special birthday episode of sorts. Andrew flew down to Austin just to wish me a happy birthday, and we decided to do a podcast last second. We literally talked for hours beforehand, and a long time after, late into the night. He's one of my favorite human beings, brilliant scientist, incredible teacher, and a loyal friend. I'm grateful for Andrew. I'm grateful for good friends, for all the support and love I've gotten over the past few years. I'm truly grateful for this life, for the years, the days, the minutes, the seconds I've gotten to live on this beautiful earth of ours.
I really don't want to leave just yet. I think I'd really like to stick around. I love you all. And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got InsideTracker for biodata, 8sleeve for naps, AG1 for health, Shopify for selling stuff, and NetSuite for business management software. Choose wisely, my friends. Also, if you want to work with our amazing team, we're always hiring. Go to alexfreeman.com slash hiring. And now, on to the full ad reads. As always, no ads in the middle. I try to make this interesting, but if you must skip them, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This show is brought to you by InsideTracker, a service I use to track biological data.
That's data that comes from my own body. It's really interesting to consider all the different signals that we send from our body, conscious and subconscious. That's something I talked to Andrew in this podcast about. Of all the thoughts and ideas and memories, real or fabricated or morphed or modified or recycled, that lurk somewhere in the unconscious, that when brought to the surface can bring a kind of relief or reinvigoration of the way we see the world around us. There's so many signals and those little neurons firing together to construct the experience of the reality we see around us. And that's not just the brain. That is deeply rooted in all the different systems, including the immune system, the billions and billions and billions of organisms.
half of which are cells, the other half are bacteria, all working together to create this experience that we humans call life. And it's so interesting that by collecting that data, by listening to the signal that this entire gigantic complex biological systems create, we can start to try to figure out how to improve life. the functioning of it. At first, top-down, in a centralized manner, sort of listening to the music that the orchestra creates and trying to maybe rewrite the music or adjust the music or edit the music. It's interesting, this whole journey we're on. And I'm glad there's people that... turn that kind of journey into a company and try to help people by you know making the data from their body accessible and giving advice based on that data making that advice accessible so you can get special savings for a limited time when you go to insidetracker.com slash lex
This episode is also brought to you by Eight Sleep and its new Pod 3 mattress. It is currently 100 plus degrees, 105, 106, 107 degrees in Austin. And boy, does a cool bed surface feel good, even with air conditioning. The air conditioning is holding on for dear life. And even then, the ability to have a cold bed surface when you go in for a power nap with a little bit of a blanket, it's just heaven. It's a refuge from the fire that burns outside the castle. And that refuge for me is a biological one and a psychological one. It's kind of incredible in terms of just energy, how much better you can feel after a nap. And it's also incredible psychologically in terms of the positivity, the joy you can rediscover after a good nap.
Everything you can do, you should put behind great sleep and great naps, because it could just do magical things to your mind. Books like Man's Search for Meaning reveal that it is indeed in the mind where the interpretation of the world's catastrophes lie.
