Can We Trust Andrew Huberman's Advice?

#Andrew Huberman

Andrew has attracted criticism for promoting poorly supported health claims.

So the question is: can we trust Andrew Huberman?

This question is almost equivalent to asking, "Can we trust anyone on the internet?" The answer could be intimidating, especially in the upcoming deep fake and generative AI era.

It's just simple basics of critical thinking. No, you can't trust everything you read online or elsewhere. The information is to be considered compromised by default and must be proven to be trustworthy.

If someone's advice aligns with your basic understanding of the subject, then you can consider it with a certain level of caution.

Taking supplements according to advice on the internet? – Probably not. Waking up early and having a walk first thing in the morning? – Hell yes!

In my opinion, Andrew is doing a great job of popularizing science. He also manages to gracefully balance the trade-off between keeping things understandable for a broad audience and scientifically accurate at a reasonable rate.
