They went after him because he's very manly and an imperfect human; a crime quite worthy of public humiliation in the woke, liberal media. It was simply tabloid journalism as another commenter wrote. I have been watching his podcast for three years and his guests are the top professionals in their respective fields, and many of his guests are women. I highly recommend his podcast if you want detailed, scientific, thorough exploration of a full spectrum of medical and health-related issues.

I'm torn about this situation... I have followed health and fitness podcasters for years, including Huberman. I've seen that people who are excellent at what they do are given a pass if they do horrible things. But, especially since COVID, I've seen many well respected scientists and health experts ruined because they do not follow the narative - even when they are telling provable facts. I am not sure which one this is, but I am not surprised either way.

Great article, I just read it out loud to my spouse and we lol'd. It is not at all surprising that New York Magazine thought the best way to bring down Huberman was to delve into an interpersonal drama and not look at some of his dodgy interpretations of health studies. The latter of course would require the journalist to have some real skills and do some real work.

Thanks for adding some common sense here. You were to mild on the original article and the magazine. It was typical character assassination to sell copies. Not to mention typical jealousy towards a successful guy, or expecting followers of AH's podcast to care about his private life, as opposed to the content of the podcast.

I love Andrew Huberman's podcast, his research, his guests, and his overall message. Listening to him has made me a healthier, happier person. He's also evidently got a narcissistic streak that I'm sure will tarnish his reputation. Two things can be true at the same time, but the latter reality doesn't outweigh the net positive benefits he brings to his listeners and, most likely, his students at Stanford. Until he does something worse than the fairly prosaic 'crimes' he's accused of, I'm still listening.

I also love the article, but Snoozy, THE PEOPLE DEMAND that you answer the question you asked: why did they run this huge piece?!

Glenn Greenwald thinks it's the legacy media disparaging the new independent journalists, whom they hate.

Great article. Remember when journalists held our politicians to this kind of investigation?

Hahahha, this is wonderful. Dying about the helpful hint - the point in a relationship where you’re making space for hurt, using it as a noun and NY magazine calls…. 📲🚽😝

I'm sorry, I just disagree. I mean I do think this was a hit piece, and a lot of it was just uncalled for, but he's clearly a serial liar. As a listener of Huberman, I've decided to listen to the episodes with guests and then take everything else he says with a grain of salt because he's clearly shown he'll lie with a straight face and very convincingly if it gets him ahead.

Suzy, this is gold.

Like your mom, I had no idea who Andrew Huberman was. But then TGIF told me that I should check out your article. And so I did, and lucky for me!

I COL'd (cackled out loud; really trying to make that acronym happen) more times reading this than I did reading TGIF. A rare feat. I salute you! I also salute Andrew Huberman and the HuberHarem. But most of all, I salute New York magazine. I can only pray they keep fighting the good fight.

Thanks for the laugh, several of them.

How do you know he is being honest in his scientific claims since he lies in relationships?

I love you Suzy. Park Slope Panthers remains my favorite to date but you always deliver.

you strike me as entirely too sane Suzy.

At first I didn’t think I knew who Andy was, but the name seemed vaguely familiar. I checked my Thorne account and sure enough I’m using the Andrew Huberman client discount code to get 20% off my orders! Hope his brand doesn’t go too far in the tank.
