Summary

There are many ways you can send a signal to the body that says, “I am safe, right now” — including slow, rhythmic breathing, soothing touch, and the vibrations of music. In this episode, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Rabin shares the science behind his Apollo wearable, which emits silent, soothing vibrations that speak to your nervous system.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Today I welcome Dr. Dave Rabin to the show.
0:15.2	Dr. Rabin is a neuroscientist, board certified psychiatrist, health tech entrepreneur, and inventor,
0:22.6	who has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for more than a decade.
0:28.6	He is the co-founder and chief innovation officer at Apollo Neuroscience,
0:34.6	which has developed the first scientifically validated wearable technology that
0:39.8	actively improves energy, focus, and relaxation using a novel touch therapy that signals
0:47.7	safety to the brain. In this episode, Dr. Rabin a primer in Neuroscience 101.
0:56.0	We delve into the fascinating physiology of the natural pain relieving molecules that our bodies endogenously create.
1:04.0	We discuss how we can leverage different proven techniques to temper the sympathetic nervous system, the part of our nervous
1:12.3	system associated with fight or flight. Whether they are long, slow, deep breaths, soothing
1:18.6	touch, or the vibrations of music, there are ways to biochemically induce a calming state to the
1:25.9	body without needing external inputs like drugs, whether
1:31.3	prescription or not. While experiencing the eye-to-eye contact and non-judgmental listening
1:39.3	that also activates these molecules, we discuss the ways in which these techniques allow us to reappraise the perception of threat,
1:49.0	whatever we consider the threat to be, whether it's morning traffic or the Serengeti of Facebook,
1:56.0	thus activating a safety signal to the body that says, I am safe.
2:01.8	I am okay right now.
2:05.1	Before pressing the record button while we were getting wired up for this podcast,
2:09.7	Dave and I had a lively exchange about the vibrations produced by live music
2:14.6	and how they impact our physiology.
2:17.5	Dave references this exchange in the interview, so don't worry.
2:20.6	You're not crazy.
