Summary

Welcome to a preview of the ninth 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.

0:15.2	Today is an Ask Me Anything episode or AMA.
0:19.0	This is part of our Premium Subscriber Channel. Our Premium Subscriber Channel was started in order to provide support for the standard Huberman Lab Podcast,
0:27.6	which comes out every Monday and is available at zero cost to everybody on all standard feeds, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, and elsewhere.
0:34.8	We also started the Premium Channel as a way to generate support for exciting research being done at Stanford and elsewhere.
0:40.7	Research on human beings that leads to important discoveries that assist mental health, physical health, and performance.
0:46.9	I'm also pleased to inform you that for every dollar the Huberman Lab Premium Channel generates for research studies,

1:52.5	For those of you that haven't heard of Cratum, Cratum is a substance that comes from a tree that grows naturally in Indonesia.
1:59.2	The tree itself is called Mitragina Spiciosa, and it's been known for hundreds of years or more.
2:05.7	We don't really know how long, but at least for a couple of hundred years, that when people chew the leaves of this tree,
2:13.1	they experience a mild stimulant effect.
