About this podcast

In this essential episode of Huberman Lab, host Andrew Huberman delves into the fascinating science of temperature regulation with his esteemed guest, Dr. Craig Heller, a professor of biology at Stanford University and a world expert on the subject. They explore why traditional cooling methods often fall short and uncover the powerful impact of targeting specific glabrous skin areas—such as the palms, soles, and upper face—to efficiently release body heat. Learn how this innovative approach can dramatically boost both short-term performance and long-term training adaptations across aerobic and anaerobic exercises. This discussion offers actionable insights and protocols to enhance your strength and endurance, providing a scientific foundation for optimizing your physical capabilities.
