New York Magazine Publishes Absurd Andrew Huberman Hit Piece and It's a Total Miss

If you have missed the latest gossip on Twitter, much of it has centered around very popular podcaster and health guru Andrew Hubmeran. Huberman is 48 and single. He is a good looking man and  is in great shape for his age. Actually, he is in great shape for a man half his age. In the article, it is revealed he is 'dating' or has dated many women at once, and allegedly did not tell them the truth about his intentions. Apparently, this is supposed to effect how listeners view him as a media figure in the health and wellness space. So far, it seems to have backfired.

Today, Andrew Huberman is a stiff, jacked 48-year-old associate professor of neurology and ophthalmology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is given to delivering three-hour lectures on subjects such as “the health of our dopaminergic neurons.” His podcast is revelatory largely because it does not condescend, which has not been the way of public-health information in our time. He does not give the impression of someone diluting science to universally applicable sound bites for the slobbering masses. “Dopamine is vomited out into the synapse or it’s released volumetrically, but then it has to bind someplace and trigger those G-protein-coupled receptors, and caffeine increases the number, the density of those G-protein-coupled receptors,” is how he explains the effect of coffee before exercise in a two-hour-and-16-minute deep dive that has, as of this writing, nearly 8.9 million views on YouTube.

That first paragraph makes it clear the way this article will go.

He was a fluid, engaging conversationalist, rich with insight and informed advice. In a year of death and disease, when many felt a sense of agency slipping away, Huberman had a gentle plan. The subtext was always the same: We may live in chaos, but there are mechanisms of control.

 

By then he had a partner, Sarah, which is not her real name. Sarah was someone who could talk to anyone about anything. She was dewy and strong and in her mid-40s, though she looked a decade younger, with two small kids from a previous relationship. She had old friends who adored her and no trouble making new ones. She came across as scattered in the way she jumped readily from topic to topic in conversation, losing the thread before returning to it, but she was in fact extremely organized. She was a woman who kept track of things. She was an entrepreneur who could organize a meeting, a skill she would need later for reasons she could not possibly have predicted. When I asked her a question in her home recently, she said the answer would be on an old phone; she stood up, left for only a moment, and returned with a box labeled OLD PHONES.

The story then begins to delve into his relationships. He has many. That is clear. He probably wasn't honest with the women. That is also clear. What is not clear? Why is this the business of the public? Is it nice behavior? No, but people can choose to have the kinds of arrangements they choose, particularly when they aren't married and don't share children. This is hardly unique to Huberman. It feels this particular attack is because he is opposed to 'Big Pharma' and has more freedom minded beliefs.

Honestly, it is less they 'don't like him' and more 'they're still in love with him' when you read between the lines.

That is no longer allowed in today's mainstream media. They only want people overweight, binging the latest streaming service and taking every new medication 'Big Pharma' labs roll out. Heaven forbid people like Huberman offers listeners a different alternative.
