I'm sure Brain Vision will be along to give you a brief summary of what's wrong with him.
He is popular on the youtube podcosts. Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson interviews. Some of my friends listen to them.
Lot interesting stuff. Effects of the various body chemicals on the brain, dopamine etc. Has a podcasts on psychadelics. Talks about mind over illness and quitting. Why some SEALS quit buds and others don't. What is different about the mental makeup of those who quit and those who don't. It's not due to physical shape.
I think @Bandiking is in this neurosciene field somewhere.

Pretty impressive. Haven’t listened to his podcast.
Did you ever read "Feeling Great" by Dr. David Burns?
I did a few months ago. I also listen to his podcast on YouTube most Mondays.

"Feeling Great" is like the sequel. Highly recommended.
I got it at my local library.
I remember when that came out. I think it was a neat finding in the context of discussions about biological factors in homosexuality versus choice.
Had to google this guy as I've never heard of him. Seems to be a big supplement guy. Interesting take on the SEALS thing, would like to know how he came to his conclusions. I didn't see how he was connected to selection or BUD/S type training.
He has done some work and/or interviewed Jocko, David Goggins etc and studied responses of SEALS and special forces in critical situations.
Special Operations.
In the case of the SEALs, BUDs training. Why do some succeed but the majority fail? How do those who succeed manage their "internal systems" to stay motivated. Controlling emotions which includes controlling reactions to hormones/chemicals that spike during crisis.
That would be difficult to test without actually being there. Those situations even the training ones are not normally open events nor shared with outsiders. Wouldn't make sense to have training methods of the worlds best SF types as public information.
The specific situations and training events may not be shared, but they are common across many areas and can be measured across other public areas such as sports. Jocko shares a lot of info on public about events, but they weren't tested or measured. But he may have info on some of his podcasts about testing.
Here is a Jocko interview of Huberman, and Huberman explains some of his background and neurosciene to Jocko. I thought they had been on a podcast together, but I checked it out. This is five hours long and I started listening on my drive home today. At the 7:30 mark Huberman starts talking about neuroscience.
