Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., a neuroscientist and tenured professor at Stanford, has been hosting The Huberman Lab podcast through since 2021, breaking down the science of how our brain and body work together. Episodes can cover anything from brain development and how our nervous system works to shape our thoughts and actions, to the latest science based tools for measuring and improving brain function.
It's all a huge hit with subscribers, regularly landing in the top 10 podcasts worldwide and often grabbing the No. 1 spot in the science, education, and health & fitness categories.
Rephonic podcast info now includes a Sponsors page, showing the brand, what they promote, CTA & ad text. So, we did a deep dive into the Huberman Lab's sponsors to find out who's tapping into its massive audience, and why.
