🚨 $HIMS CEO Andrew Dudum says they will manufacture BPC-157 & TB-500 raw API at their peptide facility in Menlo Park, Californa
"For some of the newer peptides where the supply chains of the raw active ingredients like TB-500 and 157 are not really at the core quality that we would like to see, we will be manufacturing the raw APIs in our facilities in Menlo Park"
"Which I think actually positions us as really the only company in the U.S. capable of having that degree of quality oversight for these therapies"
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am thrilled to join the Board & Advisory of Hims & Hers! The platform @AndrewDudum & Co. have built & are evolving for comprehensive telehealth incl. cardiovascular & hormone health & peptides (GLPs & more) w/start to finish (raw materials incl.) made in USA is making health & vigor available to everyone.
Our Q3 2026 results are now live!
We believe that in healthcare, whoever owns the customer relationship wins. We’re building an everyday digital health platform that millions of people can rely on, not just for a single treatment, but for the whole experience of getting and staying well. We’re making substantial progress: revenue growth accelerated to nearly 50% this quarter. Nearly three million people across four continents rely on us to access care.
Here’s how we’re continuing to push forward:
- Winning metabolic health. For many people, the relationship with Hims & Hers starts with weight loss, and we’re making care easier to access: one seamless experience across an assortment of weight loss medicines, including from @novonordisk and @EliLillyandCo, more flexible multi-month subscriptions that we’re preparing ahead of the new year, and an AI-native experience that now reaches the large majority of weight loss customers.
- Winning the major global markets: International revenue grew more than 4x year-over-year to $233 million, and is on track to reach a $1 billion annual run rate in 2027. Our reach now spans four continents, and we’re introducing the Hims & Hers brands to new markets, including Australia and Germany.
- Staying at the forefront of category expansion: Our platform helps us go deeper into complex care and launch specialties faster. For example, we launched controlled substances for the first time with injectable and oral TRT, and we’re excited to be launching our Peptides+ offering later this month.
We also announced today that @hubermanlab is joining our Board of Directors, and he’s also joining us as an advisor. I’ve spent a lot of time with Andrew over the past year and we’re in lock step on what matters: making the latest health innovations accessible and actionable for people everywhere.
This is how we’re building the platform that will redefine how people access healthcare. I can’t wait for you to see what comes next.

Incredible but true. When co-dependent people finally give up attempting to control addict family members the addicts almost always start their recovery/quitting process. Dr Anna Lembke MD is an expert in dopamine and addiction @StanfordMed

Why you should give with no expectation of return:
Giving freely comes from love and from the excess of goodness in you, through the agency and gratitude you feel.
When there's a tacit price attached - I'll give you this now, but you end up doing the laundry for two months - the other person is left feeling worse.
Give without strings and they feel stronger and more empowered, and more likely to come out of their own comfort zone and give too.

Gotta admit, Huberman knows his stuff. And this is way more actionable than I thought it’d be.
If you need a new perspective and inspiration that will stay with you going forward, check out @RobertGreene on the latest Huberman Lab podcast. His book Law of the Sublime comes out 11/10/26. Read it & it’s now in my top 10 of all books of all time.

I managed to get my hands on it 😎
Protocols by @hubermanlab is fantastic!
In research, we often rely on review papers to get a comprehensive overview of a topic. This book feels like the ultimate review of reviews for newbies.
It's massive, rightfully so, and so well written!
My wife is already eyeing on it 😁
What do studies of near death experiences tell us about time perception? @RobertGreene explains on the Huberman Lab podcast out now.
Robert has a new out 11/10 (I’ve read it and it’s incredible); The Law of the Sublime.

Andrew Huberman gets about three good hours of focus in the morning. He won't spend them in the gym.
"It's really between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. That window is crucial."
"I have to be very careful that I'm not exercising in that window because I, like most founders, don't get paid to exercise."
His second window opens around 4:35 p.m. and runs until about 7, right before dinner.
And if that sounds like too little:
"I don't know many people that are completely focused for eight or nine hours a day without the next day being completely shot."

If you watch or listen to the podcast episode Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs with Dr. Glen Jeffery and Andrew Huberman, the practical takeaway is that the “simple steps done regularly” mostly come down to light timing and quality.
Get bright outdoor light in your eyes soon after waking (and again in the late afternoon/early evening when possible).
Keep evening lighting dim, warm, and low (candles, dim halogen/incandescent, or very low overheads). Avoid bright LEDs and screens late.
Be consistent with the schedule most days. Those habits support the circadian system and mitochondrial function that make solid sleep more likely.
The emails people send about improved sleep after making these changes are common because the levers are strong and accessible.
Great sleep isn’t guaranteed for everyone overnight, but it is possible for most people with consistent basic steps.
Happy people are sleeping better. Indeed, not uncommon to receive these sorts of emails. Great sleep is possible for everyone. Simple steps, done regularly, work.

Underrated life advice: Have a Bad-Day Protocol. Go for a walk. Eat something clean. Hit a workout. Take a long shower. Get to bed early. Whatever. You don’t need to solve every problem when you’re at your worst. You need a few moves that stop a bad day from becoming a bad week.
Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. retweeted
This @hubermanlab episode with Dr Glen Jeffery on light exposure still blows my mind.
I think it inspired me to walk more outdoors especially in the morning and evening to get more low intensity sun. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Andrew Huberman on the best advice he ever got: figure out the most real work you can do every day, consistently, and find a way to reset every week.
"The best advice I ever got: there was a neurologist out at UC Berkeley and UCSF, Bob Knight, some years ago, very talented. I asked him for advice starting graduate school."
"He said, 'Figure out the maximum amount of real work that you can do every day consistently, and then figure out some non-destructive way to reset yourself every single week.'"
"I said, 'How do you reset?' He said he likes fishing. I like to hike. I like to get into nature and spend time with people while I do it. I figured out I could work X number of hours per day, 5 days a week, and I just stuck to it for 25 years."
"People who take a ton of stimulants and just blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz. These are the same people that crash and disappear. You have to figure out and build your capacity."
"Yes, you have to work extremely hard. You have to be extremely focused. But you also have to figure out how long you can keep this up."

Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman built one of the most popular podcasts in the world by turning health research into protocols millions of people actually use.
His top three habits are surprisingly straightforward: get bright light shortly after waking, resistance train, and make the sleep you can get as high-quality as possible.
He joins a16z’s Daisy Wolf to walk through the protocols he actually follows, from his 35-year workout to the lockbox he keeps his social media phone in, and explains why packing in every protocol can backfire if it gets in the way of the rest of your life.
For founders, he explains why the hours your brain does its best work are worth guarding like a fight, how to find the most real work you can sustain, and why sleep is where neurotech will win first.
