Huberman Lab: Dr. Alia Crum: Science of Mindsets for Health & Performance
Podcast by Huberman Lab, Dr. Andrew Huberman, feat. Dr. Alia Crum
Description:
In this episode, Dr. Andrew Huberman is joined by Dr. Alia Crum, Associate (tenured) Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Mind & Body Lab. Dr. Crum is a world expert on mindsets and beliefs and how they shape our responses to stress, exercise, and even to the foods we eat.
Dr. Huberman and Dr. Crum discuss how our mindset about the nutritional content of food changes whether it is satisfying to us at a physiological (hormonal and metabolic) level. She also explains how mindsets about exercise can dramatically alter the effects of exercise on weight loss, blood pressure, and other health metrics.
Dr. Crum teaches us how to think about stress in ways that allow stress to grow us and bring out our best rather than diminish our health and performance. Throughout the episode, Dr. Crum provides descriptions of high-quality peer-reviewed scientific findings that we can all leverage toward better health and performance in our lives.
