Are you Brian Hoeflinger? Claim this pageNeurosurgeon with more than 25 years and thousands of operations behind him, now one of medicine's largest voices on social media. After losing his 18-year-old son Brian to a drunk-driving crash in 2013, he built a following sharing direct, unglamorous lessons on the brain, alcohol, and prevention.
The basics he repeats because they work: seven to eight hours of sleep, regular aerobic exercise, blood pressure kept in range, not smoking, minimizing alcohol, seatbelts and helmets every time, and treating hearing and vision loss — the list that actually protects a brain over a lifetime.
Prevention from someone who sees the failures on the operating table: most catastrophic brain injury and much cognitive decline is avoidable, and honest medical information belongs where people actually spend their attention.

Third-party tested for identity, potency, and heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury). Soy-free, gluten-free, vegan.
Free thermal stress protocols from Huberman Lab's newsletter
Sign up for Huberman Lab's Neural Network newsletter to access science-backed protocols on heat and cold exposure, including the "Cold Exposure Guide" and other toolkits on sleep, fitness, and goal-setting. No equipment or gym membership required—just email-based protocols you can implement at home. The monthly newsletter draws from neuroscience research and Huberman's daily routine.
Mateína's 12-pack yerba mate hits different than coffee—120mg caffeine, zero crash
