Amy Huberman dazzles in Irish design at Wimbledon
The first week of Wimbledon has come and gone, and the celebrity style was almost as fascinating as the tennis itself. Stars like Laura Whitmore, Angela Scanlon, Cate Blanchett and Olivia Rodrigo already wowed onlookers with their summery court-side outfits. However, one Irish star made sure to rep our home grown designers while at the tournament. Amy Huberman stepped out with husband Brian O'Driscoll over the weekend for a day at the tennis, enjoying the sixth day of festivities at the famous tournament. Huberman, who is as known for her bold and stylish fashion sense as she is for her turns on TV, brought summery florals to the event despite the overcast skies. The Irishwoman made sure to wear Irish, stepping out in a vibrant dress by the Irish brand FéRí. FéRí is a slow fashion brand founded by Faye Anna Rochford that draws inspiration from Rochford's love of vintage clothing. The team use organic materials or deadstock and repurposed fabrics in their pieces and Rochford hand-paints and draws the patterns herself. Speaking to RTÉ Lifestyle last year, Rochford explained how the slow nature of her designs creates even more unique pieces: "I really paint from the heart, it's really organic and I suppose what I focus on the most is colour and how it looks overall as an abstract floral drawing. So in that sense, there's of course imperfections; it's organic. But I love that and when I create digital or repeat prints I can see that throughout the pattern and sometimes I will know that bit was a mistake or ... It just makes each piece more unique." Huberman chose the Alex dress, a bohemian-inspired chiffon gown covered in pink, purple and yellow florals, with ruffles at the cuffs and hem, structured shoulders and a silky lilac slip underneath. She paired it with a gold handbag, pale pink sunglasses and gold platform heels. O'Driscoll, meanwhile, looked dapper in a soft grey suit with a navy polka dot tie and a white shirt.

Forget running or 'Jeffing' — neuroscientist says this is the secret to longevity and hitting 150 minutes of cardio per week
Low-impact cardio is bang on trend, not only because it has been repeatedly picked up and repackaged by fitness influencers — think viral challenges like the 'Hot Girl Walk' or the 30/30/30 method — but because the science heavily backs this form of exercise, and so does neuroscientist Andrew Huberman. Huberman says in a YouTube video: 'The scientific data tells us that we should all be getting anywhere from 150 to 200 minutes per week minimum of Zone 2 cardio for the sake of cardiovascular health.' As we know, strong cardiovascular health is linked to longevity and health span. But there's something else — you don't need to run to achieve your cardio minutes and boost longevity. Here's what Huberman says you can do instead, what Zone 2 cardio means, benefits and how it can help you reach your weekly movement goals and boost longevity with (or without) one of the best fitness trackers to measure your progress. Zone 2 training, also known as heart rate zone training, means working out at roughly 60-70% of your max heart rate (MHR). This means an easy effort without overexerting yourself, and if you're still unsure, you can use heart rate zones on most fitness trackers, including your Garmin or Apple Watch, to help you stay on track. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 150-300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week to help battle the effects of sedentary lifestyles, which increase the likelihood of injury and the development of chronic illness. Steady-state cardio is credited with increasing endurance, improving the efficiency of your energy systems, building aerobic capacity and cardiovascular health, plus tackling bone density loss and muscle atrophy. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine, says he schedules 60 to 90 minutes of easy-pace running into his weekly routine one day per week (usually on a Sunday) to contribute toward the minimum number of minutes recommended. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. But what if you hate running? Not everyone fancies a jog on any given day, and some people don't even enjoy 'Jeffing' — a combination of walking and running intervals that many, including my colleague, swear by for taking off the intensity. It's good news because you can still hit the minimum of 150 minutes of Zone 2 cardio without it. First of all, you can remain low effort — during Huberman's runs, he says he can 'maintain nasal breathing,' which means he is moving in a way that allows him to keep up a conversation with himself or friends or family. Sometimes, he says, he may take a hike between one and four hours instead. Although you can do this anywhere, Huberman enjoys taking his Zone 2 cardio outdoors, where he can enjoy fresh air, nature and sunshine. Studies show that exercising in nature has proven to boost mood, increase creativity and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, all of which help improve longevity. Huberman refers to a conversation he had with Dr. Andy Galpin, explaining that he can't always hit his designated cardio minutes per week through a run or hike. Galpin, a scientist and tenured professor who is the Executive Director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University, responded with something simple: He doesn't think of Zone 2 cardio as 'exercise' at all. In fact, it should enhance (rather than impede) other types of movement you do during the week, like hypertrophy or strength training, or speed work. What does he mean by that? Well, he tells Huberman that you can simply increase the total amount of movement and walking you do during the week with a focus on pace and speed. Regular brisk walking can slash your biological age by up to 16 years, according to a new study, but even increasing your total physical activity throughout the week can be beneficial, too. This plays into something called Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT), which accounts for any activity you do during the week, like playing with your kids or taking a work call standing up. Huberman paraphrases Galpin's advice by stating: 'Zone 2 cardio can be meshed throughout the daily activities that I and everybody else generally have to do.' This is great news if you find life gets busy and you don't have the hours to dedicate to the gym. You can still hit the minimum 150 minutes of Zone 2 by spreading it out across the week, taking brisk walks and increasing pace where possible, or incorporating slow-paced, easy effort jogs if you don't mind running. This should come as a relief if you find it difficult to schedule exercise into the week or if your priority, like mine, is strength training. Instead, Huberman says it takes the pressure off and allows you to consider Zone 2 cardio as regular daily life while gaining the benefits of cardio at the same time.

Andrew Huberman Tells Joe Rogan Doing Something Harder Can Push You Through Tough Times
We've all had those days where things feel just a bit overwhelming. Maybe it's work-related, or something going on at home, or maybe you just find yourself in a funk. Regardless of the situation, it happens to the best of us. However, the age-old saying "when the going gets tough, the tough gets going" may apply even more than initially known. As hard as things may seem that day, or in that instant, neuroscientist and 'Huberman Lab' podcast host, Andrew Huberman, issued some strong advice on how to break out of the slump. While speaking on the 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast, Huberman explained that the best way to push through is to do something even harder than anything you're currently facing. "What's very clear is that when you're suffering, or you're lazy or you're procrastinating, doing something that's harder than the state that you're in, bounces you back much faster," Huberman says. "This is all based on the dynamics of dopamine." He explains that while many people will go and do something like "cleaning the house," or anything easier than whatever they're attempting to do, it should be just the opposite. As Huberman details, doing something more challenging will deploy dopamine at a higher level and make you a "different person." It's an interesting breakdown of how dopamine works and can help people break through those tough times or overcome mental roadblocks while doing those daunting tasks. The approach makes a lot of sense, and from Huberman's comments, it sounds as though his mindset focuses on anything that's considered "harder," even if the project isn't directly related to whatever it is that has you stuck. Give it a try and see how your body and mind react the next time you find yourself in a rut or struggling to get through a project. Whatever it is, I'm sure we'd all welcome a path leading to daily improved Huberman Tells Joe Rogan Doing Something Harder Can Push You Through Tough Times first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 6, 2025

Andrew Huberman Makes It Clear What He Really Thinks About Joe Rogan
Andrew Huberman didn't hold back his admiration for Joe Rogan during a recent chat with comedian Tom Segura on the Huberman Lab podcast. "One of the main reasons why Rogan is the top podcast in the world," Huberman says, "is because he has lots of different kinds of friends—and he can sit down with intellectuals, he can sit down with comics, he can sit down with criminals—he likes the understanding and communication with different kinds of people." Huberman also praised Rogan's work ethic and ability to connect. "His life is filled with these people outside of the studio, so he's very comfortable in the presence of anyone. You put anyone in front of him, and he can be genuinely interested in learning from them," Huberman says. Both Huberman and Segura agreed you can't fake that kind of curiosity. "Some podcasters, they're not that interested in what other people have to say—so they're not the best interviewers, unless it's someone directly in their genre," Huberman later shared the clip on X, where fans weighed in on his Rogan take. "It's what makes him. He's not afraid to talk to anyone and ask hard questions," one X user commented. One X user pushed back, asking if the Joe Rogan Experience was still the biggest podcast in the world and commenting that numbers seem to have dropped. Huberman defended his buddy with a comment back: "Rankings reflect acceleration among other things. Rogan is still the most listened to media channel by a HUGE margin." Huberman has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience multiple times. Their conversations often dive deep into neuroscience, performance, health, and human behavior—an area both men clearly care Huberman Makes It Clear What He Really Thinks About Joe Rogan first appeared on Men's Fitness on May 23, 2025

Doctor: I'm Begging Guys to Ditch Seed Oils—And Opt for Whole Food Fats Instead
For better or for worse, the discussion around seed oils has been more rampant than ever. From RFK Jr. publicly bashing them to nutritionists saying they're not so bad, opinions remain sharply divided. Some say they're harmful; others claim the fear is overblown. Mark Hyman, M.D., appeared on the Huberman Lab podcast last month where Huberman asked the physician a loaded question: "What's your view on seed oils?" Hyman let out an audible "oye" before diving in a sigh that hinted at the complexity of the topic. The real issue isn't just calories or cholesterol. It's how these oils are made, and how far they are from whole food sources, he says "We should be eating whole food fats as much as possible," Hyman said at one point. "Avocados, coconut, nuts and seeds, omega-3 fats from fish, extra virgin olive oil." "For me, I wouldn't pick canola oil because I could pick olive oil," Huberman agreed. That whole food approach contrasts sharply with how seed oils are processed. The concern with seed oils—like soybean, canola, and corn—isn't just their high omega-6 content. It's also how they're grown, extracted, and refined. 'They spray lots of chemicals on them. Those chemicals get in the oil. They're manufactured in an industrial way," Hyman explained. "So would I want to eat an industrial food product? Probably not." To stay aligned with this whole food fats approach, reach for extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil instead of canola the next time you're grocery shopping.
