Ariel Garten is a neuroscientist, mom, former psychotherapist, and the co- founder of the healthtech startup, Muse. We discuss how Ariel transitioned from working as a therapist to becoming a Silicon Valley star; the idea behind Muse and why she saw such a need for a product like this in the healthtech market; her philosophy on restorative rest (and how to start practicing it– like, right NOW); what biofeedback is and how to use it in a way that supports your overall health goals, and so much more. Add this episode to your queue if you’re struggling with sleep; chronic pain, or anxiety (at any/all levels), or if you’re curious about the experience of a woman who raised $18M in funding for a science-based startup (!!!!). This conversation was fascinating, and as someone who actively DOES NOT “meditate” in any traditional sense, I can honestly say that this is the first convo I’ve had with someone who might’ve changed my mind (see what I did there…?!) 

 

Q+A: Do I have to be careful about the amount of sugar in fruit?
