There's something real here.

As someone whose life has been changed by Huberman's advice, I have to say that systemic lying in his personal relationships makes me doubt the soundness of information on his podcast.

Over the last three years, he's slowly moved out of his area of expertise and into fameland, interviewing whoever has a new book out or has a brand name and opinions. There is less and less scientific foundation for the information he's selling.

And if he behaves in such a way with people close to him, why should he treat strangers on the Internet any better? He's made a lot of choices that damage his image as a paragon of good behavior. He's hurt the movement he created.

Now that this is out, there will be other shoes to drop. Lies are like Pringles and cockroaches.

How he totes "Stanford, Stanford, Stanford" in his bio and credentials but lives in LA and barely goes to his empty shell of a lab operated by 1 grad student on her own grant is more damning than any of the personal life drama imo.

He wants to be a full time fameball snake oil like Dr. Oz, not a real academic researcher. He's a quack in academic clothing imo.
