Hijacking this comment to ask about Huberman, can he really be lumped in with the other two in that list?
I listen to his podcast for a while and stopped when I realized most of what he is talking about is marginal stuff or ”new research suggests”, which I found less interesting.
But has he really ever been a grifter selling complete bunk? Not talking about the ad-segments, which are of course payed endorsements.
