How to Rewire Your Brain & Learn Faster | Dr. Michael Kilgard

PEA (phenylethylamine)

“Confession here, I take 500 milligrams of it every morning. Makes you feel pretty good. It's a little mild stimulant. I've been doing that for years.”— Andrew Huberman

Baby Einstein

Baby Einstein (inferred)

“there's a company called Baby Einstein, and they play, you know, Spanish or French... But we don't really know how much of these languages should they be exposed to.”— Michael Kilgard

Nicotine gum

“if I want to learn something... I will occasionally take, you know, these are very low dosages, 2 milligrams of nicotine.”— Andrew Huberman

Scopolamine

“The drug's anticholinergics like scopolamine, atropine. These are drugs that block acetylcholine.”— Michael Kilgard

Atropine

“We give some drops. The eyedrops make it a little bit blurry... Atropine costs pennies, it's super safe, it's just an eye drop.”— Michael Kilgard

Prozac (fluoxetine)

Eli Lilly (inferred)

“We took the therapy... and then add the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor... we gave them Prozac. And... it didn't do anything.”— Michael Kilgard

Ritalin

Novartis (inferred)

“Ritalin has effects on growth... if you take Ritalin, you'll end up being about an inch shorter. This is just an off target effect.”— Michael Kilgard

Adderall

“Did Adderall, did all of them. Paired with a tone, and it just didn't change anything.”— Michael Kilgard

Ozempic / Wegovy (semaglutide)

Novo Nordisk (inferred)

“a large number of people who could not lose weight any other way are seeing great success by taking Wegovy, and Ozempic, and related drugs.”— Andrew Huberman

NAC (N-acetyl cysteine)

“supplementing with NAC, N-acetyl cysteine... can support glutathione production and detoxification, and... that approach worked.”— Andrew Huberman
