Hijacking this comment to ask about Huberman, can he really be lumped in with the other two in that list?

I listen to his podcast for a while and stopped when I realized most of what he is talking about is marginal stuff or ”new research suggests”, which I found less interesting.

But has he really ever been a grifter selling complete bunk? Not talking about the ad-segments, which are of course payed endorsements.

He definitely has content that is helpful to people, but there's probably better sources for the same information.

Well, here he is promoting complete bunk, so the question answers itself.

		> You can think of Q collar as a baby version of health scams promoted by wealthy and powerful medical-adjacent celebrities such as Dr. Oz, Andrew Huberman, and RFK Jr. This sentence does not imply that Huberman has endorsed this product.

		That is fair, especially on this occasion. On the other hand I have found some of his material very helpful, particularly around sleep and helping me maintain my circadian rhythm.
