Funding human research is essential for developing future protocols for physical and mental health, and the Huberman Lab Premium subscription exists to support such work.

“The premium channel is also designed to support exciting research being done at major universities like Stanford and elsewhere, research that's done on humans that should lead to protocols for mental health, physical health, and performance in the near future.”

Reducing or freezing NIH funding creates significant obstacles for critical research into inexpensive health interventions that are otherwise neglected by the pharmaceutical industry.

“The NIH funds a lot of clinical trials and some of these clinical trials could have a a almost final impact on whether an intervention gets used or Not by people eventually”

Government funding for scientific research is essential for major breakthroughs that the private sector would otherwise deem too risky or long-term.

“it took 20 years of research for them to be able to come up with the Zmpic and Guovi. And if it had not been for that American government financing, we wouldn't have those drugs today.”
