Started August 7, 2026

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how key neuromodulators shape motivation, energy, focus and mood throughout the day. I also describe a toolkit of science-supported behavioral, nutritional and supplement-based strategies to increase baseline levels for each neuromodulator, which can be modified to support your specific health and performance goals.
