Ashwagandha is at the top of the list because it is indeed a very potent adaptogen. There are studies now including several excellent ones in humans that report that taking two doses of 300 milligrams per day can very dramatically buffer cortisol. So this is something that you would have a near impossible time accessing from food.
Welcome to a preview of the third Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode, part of the Huberman Lab Premium subscription.
The Huberman Lab Premium subscription was launched for two main reasons. First, it was launched in order to raise support for the standard Huberman Lab podcast channel — which will continue to come out every Monday at zero-cost. Second, it was launched as a means to raise funds for important scientific research. A significant portion of proceeds from the Huberman Lab Premium subscription will fund human research (not animal models) selected by Dr. Huberman, with a dollar-for-dollar match from the Tiny Foundation.
