Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast, What if you could actually hear your brain working?

And you could feel calmer and happier as a result?

Well, this concept might sound pretty far out, but it's actually totally doable.

And during these uncertain times, taking care of our mental health is probably more important than ever.

And the good news is my guest today can actually help.

And I'm actually wearing her device, no, I just didn't come from the gym working out to pump you up but we're going to

talk to Ariel Garden. She was trained in neuroscience and psychotherapy, founded a

clothing company and research and She also has her own podcast Untangle, which you're going to see is a great title for her

podcast, all about mental health.

Her biggest claim to fame, I think, is in co-founding Muse, the brain-sensing headband,

which I am wearing right now. Today we're going to talk about more how Muse works and how to meditate even for folks who say they

can't and I am kind of number one on the list and boy we're going to talk about

that we'll also discuss why we need help

calming our minds right now more than ever. So Ariel it's great to see you again

welcome to the program.

Thank you.

It is such a joy and pleasure to be here with you today.

So you've dedicated much of your career to helping people reduce anxiety and get in a better head space. Is this something that you

struggled with personally or how did it start? So for me I actually always had what I thought was a very clear head space. I didn't have a lot of anxiety or fear and I was able to go forward into the world and do what I wanted.

I then had a health consideration a number of years ago and I ended up with more

anxiety than I ever realized and meditation became a key factor for me to learn to

manage my own brain space and be able to come back to a very calm, clear way of living.
