Summary

I’m going to go ahead and say it: this is one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever done to date! You definitely need an open mind for this one. We’re talking about how a breakthrough technology could change the way we manage, treat, and actually fix things like anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and other conditions. I’m here with Dr. David Rabin, the chief innovation officer, co-founder and co-inventor at Apollo Neuroscience. Apollo is the first wearable system to improve focus, sleep, and access to meditative states by delivering gentle layered vibrations to the skin.

Since Dr. Rabin has also spent the last 10 years studying the impact of chronic stress in humans, I figure he’s a great person to also brainstorm with about ways to improve your own sleep, your children’s sleep, and your heart rate variability, which is one of the things most linked to health.

Episode Highlights With David Rabin

Why Dr. Rabin became so interested in mental health and the topic of stress in particular
The single biggest factor in any type of recovery and healing
How he figured out a way to “trick” the body into feeling safe
What heart rate variability (HRV) is and why we are coming to know it as an important health marker
The risks associated with low HRV… and ways to raise it
Why pyschedelics might be the answer for stopping PTSD and other pyschiatric conditions for good
MDMA and what it does for the brain and the emotions
What the FDA trials show so far about these controversial medicines
How the Apollo wearable balances the nervous system in real time (without drugs!)
Why Dr. Rabin thinks psychiatrists are not just for the mentally ill
And more!

0:00.0	Welcome to my Mommy's Podcast!
0:05.2	This episode is brought to you by ForSixmatic, creator of all things superfood mushrooms and
0:11.2	founded by my favorite Finnish fun guys.
0:14.7	I love all of their products and in fact I am sipping their Rashi-Hot Coco as I record
0:19.4	this.
0:20.4	Their superfood mushrooms are always part of my daily routine and I'll often have their
0:24.5	coffee plus lion's mane or coffee plus cord accepts in the morning for energy and focus
0:29.4	without as much caffeine as regular coffee.
0:32.9	And all of their coffee blends have only about half as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.
0:38.2	But the addition of the superfood mushrooms gives you just as much brain boost and focus.
0:43.5	So whether you're trying to reduce your caffeine, this is a great option or you're just trying
0:47.6	to increase your focus, it's great for that as well.
0:50.0	Or if you're like me and you're trying to do both, you can have twice as much coffee
0:53.8	for the same amount of caffeine.
0:56.0	Throughout the day I often sip their chaga and cortisaps in the afternoon for the antioxidants
1:00.9	and immunity and I always turn to their Rashi-Holixer at night for improved sleep.
1:06.4	They also just released skin care that is so clean that not only can you eat it, but
1:12.1	it's encouraged.
1:13.4	Their charcoal mask has activated charcoal to clarify chaga and cacao for an antioxidant
1:19.0	boost and other superfood and herbal ingredients.
1:23.0	So clean, you can literally also make it into a cup of hot cocoa.
