Dr. Andy Galpin: Maximize Recovery to Achieve Fitness & Performance Goals | Huberman Lab

As a 62 year old male, I would love to see a extended conversation on recovery for us older guys who love to train.

Just because no normal person would recognize this usually-- I REALLY appreciate the audio quality of your podcast. It makes this super easy to listen to extended episodes. Really appreciate you and Dr Galpin. 💪💪💪

I am a cardiac anesthesiologist (practicing physiologist), and I've learned so much in this podcast series. This is truly one the most important, most relevant series of podcasts I have ever listened to. I have made quite a number of changes to my life based on it. Dr. Galpin is a very gifted teacher, and Dr. Huberman knows exactly how to bring it out in him. Thank you for this life altering series!!

As an aspiring professional fighter, the resources and information that Dr. Huberman provides has been crucial for the optimization of my training protocols. This series with Dr. Galpin has been the best thing to ever hit YouTube in terms of exercise protocols factually backed and proven by science. That’s why you just can’t help but love the Huberman podcast. No bias, no BS, no bro science. I doubt he will see this but Thank you Dr. Huberman

The Huberman Lab is my PED of choice. This guest series has been 💣💣💣 I listen to them when I cycle. I listen to them when I lift weights. I listen to them when I am in the sauna. I listen to them when I stretch. The list goes on.

This stuff is absolutely gold. Been listening to the past few podcasts with Andy while at the gym. I would recommend to anyone who is interested in fitness or muscle gain as it really is invaluable knowledge.

I'm a 63 year old female long distance runner and I have learnt so much through Galpin and Huberman. Cannot believe this information is given out free. Gratitude and appreciation for you guys. Thank you for the quality of your work

As a medical student currently studying neurophysiology I can say that the concepts that Dr. Galpin explains actually helped me understand some of the topics in my class. If you can follow his explanations then you’re understanding some pretty complex systems

I really like the way Dr. Galphin speaks. He is so authentic and succinct articulating very complicated information so that it is easily absorbed and remembered. This episode is packed with logical and actionable insights that can be helpful to anyone interested in improving their physical wellbeing. It's definitely one that can be watched and rewatched because there is so much valuable content.

Gentlemen, I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful series. My challenge is to keep up (still on 3rd episode) eagerly working my way through this knowledge worth its weight in gold. Thank you again

I do not know where to begin. I am actively reading research and constantly updating my lectures in class but, there is so much more that I have missed. This ignited a spark in me and has made me a better teacher and definitely more mindful of my own training as a (I cannot even believe it) middle-age woman, I am constantly attempting to maintain performance markers without injury. Love Dr. Andy Galpin and Dr. Andrew Huberman.

Can't wait for the "Cliff notes" in Neural Networks. I like Andy Galpin's videos on Endurance and Physiology too. This is a must-listen series for anyone interested in fitness. So much to absorb, so I'm rel-istening to all of these. Thanks to both of you!

Dr Huberman .... i love the episodes with Dr Andy Galpin ..... you really know value & valuable knowledge 💯 wich proofs your legitimacy🙏🏼

Make time for activities that you find relaxing and enjoyable, such as reading, spending time with loved ones, or pursuing hobbies. * *Listen to your body and rest when you need to.* If you're feeling tired or sore, don't push yourself too hard. Take a break and rest when you need to. It is important to note that everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another. Experiment with different strategies and find what works best for you. It is also important to be patient. It takes time to see results from any new lifestyle change.

Regarding using cold immersion for recovery, I find that I have no problem staying in 15-20 minutes in 50degree F salt water. The challenge is really in the first 3 minutes, beyond that is very comfortable. I make sure I’m treading water which as noted removes the insulating layer and keeps the coldest water again the body. BTW, I can’t get enough of this knowledge, thank you very much for giving freely of you time and learnings. You both are true leaders!

I’m delighted Andrew has over 2.5m subscribers. He is doing so much good so well.
