Essentials: Science of Mindsets for Health & Performance | Dr. Alia Crum

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Alia Crum,
PhD, professor of psychology at Stanford University and the
director of the Stanford Mind & Body Lab. Dr. Crum explains
that our mindsets—for example, what we believe about stress,
exercise and the food we eat—shape how we feel, behave and even how
our bodies respond. We discuss studies showing simply believing a
food is indulgent can shift satiety hormones and that viewing your
daily activity as real exercise can improve weight loss and health
markers. We also discuss how to reframe stress so it becomes a tool
for growth and improved performance. Read the episode show notes at
