The episode dives into practical ways to improve mental health and daily performance. Dr. Huberman shares science-backed advice on how to structure your day for optimal energy and focus — from light exposure and cold showers to managing dopamine levels throughout the day.

But it’s not just productivity hacks.

Theo and Andrew explore:

• How dopamine drives everything from motivation to addiction

• The neuroscience of love and relationships

• How childhood shapes our emotional wiring

• Why it’s so hard to stay disciplined in the modern world

• Strategies for handling grief and uncertainty

Andrew also opens up about the loss of his beloved dog, Costello, and how that experience helped shape his emotional and spiritual perspective — something that adds a deeply human layer to the scientific conversation.

Of course, no This Past Weekend episode is complete without Theo’s unique brand of humor. Whether he’s talking about snake-wrestling in Louisiana or asking Andrew if dopamine can make you fall in love with a Cracker Barrel waitress, Theo keeps things grounded, unpredictable, and real.
