"I can't tell you why prayer works, and I kinda love that. I can't tell you why. Like for once it's a short sentence. I don't know why, but it works." - Andrew Huberman
Andrew Huberman doesn't just study the brain—he's lived through the chaos of a mind that won't quiet down. In this raw conversation, the neuroscientist opens up about discovering prayer not as religious obligation, but as the ultimate tool for unburdening yourself and the people around you. He talks about those moments when your mind spirals, when you're trying to control everything and everyone, when love and anger get tangled up in ways that exhaust you. That's when he learned to give it over, to ask for feelings to be taken away so he could see clearly again. And here's what's remarkable: he admits he can't explain why it works. A scientist comfortable with mystery—that's when you know something's real.
But Huberman doesn't leave you floating in the spiritual. He breaks down the one framework that changed everything for him: understanding your cortisol rhythm. High in the morning, low at night. That's it. Use those as your bookends, and suddenly the protocols everyone argues about—morning sunlight, resistance training, breathwork—they all make sense. He shares why whatever people mock today becomes mainstream tomorrow (remember when resistance training was "just for bodybuilders"?), and reveals the simple pattern that, when you get it right, makes everything else fall into place. This isn't about adding more to your routine. It's about syncing with the rhythm your body was designed for.
