Huberman Lab discusses neuroscience: how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. We also discuss existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured Professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. His laboratory studies neural regeneration, neuroplasticity, and brain states such as stress, focus, fear, and optimal performance. For

My guest is Ido Portal the world’s foremost expert on human movement. Ido has spent a lifetime studying combining and evolving elements from an enormous range of martial arts dance genres athletic endeavors and science to develop a unified theory and practice of movement called “The Ido Portal Method.” Here we discuss all things movement including the role of the nervous system reflexive versus deliberate movement patterns and the link between emotions and awareness in movement. We also discuss learning and neuroplasticity the mind-body connection and how movement itself can be leveraged toward expanding other types of skills- cognitive creative and otherwise. As one of the most sought out teachers of movement alive today the knowledge Ido shares in this conversation can benefit everyone—children adults athletes dancers clinicians and trainers and the everyday person.
