Why You Get Angry — The Neuroscience of Aggression | Andrew Huberman

Why do some people explode in anger over small things while others stay calm under pressure?

In this powerful Huberman Lab Essentials episode, Dr. Andrew Huberman breaks down the neuroscience and physiology of aggression — including how stress, cortisol, sleep deprivation, blood sugar instability, dopamine overstimulation, and nervous-system dysregulation shape emotional control.

You’ll learn:
✅ The biology behind anger and aggression
✅ How chronic stress rewires emotional circuits
✅ Why poor sleep increases irritability and impulsiveness
✅ The role of testosterone, cortisol, serotonin, and dopamine
✅ How blood sugar crashes affect mood and aggression
✅ Powerful breathing and nervous-system regulation tools
✅ Practical protocols to improve emotional control naturally

This video combines neuroscience, metabolic health, emotional regulation, and functional medicine into a practical guide for building a calmer, stronger, and more resilient nervous system.

If you want better emotional control, stronger focus, improved stress resilience, and healthier relationships — this video is for you.

🎯 Watch until the end for actionable daily protocols you can begin using immediately.
