Today's guest is Dr. David Rabin, MD, PhD. Dr. Rabin is a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and health tech entrepreneur who has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for more than a decade. He is also the co-founder & chief innovation officer at Apollo Neuroscience, which has developed the first scientifically validated wearable technology that actively improves energy, focus & relaxation, using a novel touch therapy that signals safety to the brain.

 

Dr. Dave has always been fascinated by consciousness and our inherent ability to heal ourselves from injury and illness. With that said, he has specifically focused his research on the clinical translation of non-invasive therapies for patients with treatment-resistant illnesses like PTSD and substance use disorders.

 

Dr. Rabin is the co-founder and executive director of the Board of Medicine, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of physicians and scientists establishing the first peer-reviewed, evidence-based clinical guidelines for the production and safe use of currently unregulated alternative medicines, including plant medicines. The Board of Medicine trains and certifies healthcare providers, and provides quality control standards for complementary and alternative medicines to support high-quality clinical research, best practices, and risk-reduction.

 

In Today’s conversation, we talk all things stress including the different types and which is one actually good for you. Dr. Rabin shares exactly what happens on a biological and physiological level when we are experiencing stress and the different tools you can use to better manage it. We also get into the recurring theme of anxiety and a few specific coping skills that will instantly reduce it. Dr. Rabin explains what he believes is the root cause of addiction and what he feels is the biggest flaw in addiction treatment. Dr. Rabin also discusses the benefits of plant medicine and other alternative treatments, how to do it, and most importantly how to know it's appropriate for you.
