He is the co-founder & chief innovation officer at Apollo Neuroscience, which has developed the first scientifically-validated wearable technology that actively improves sleep, relaxation, focus, and calm, using a novel touch therapy that signals safety to the brain. Dr. Rabin is the executive director of The Board of Medicine & the medical director of the Apollo Clinic.

Dr. Rabin joins us to discuss stress, how he is using elements of music and touch as a way to activate the parasympathetic nervous system with his company Apollo Neuro, how Apollo helps sleep, focus, recovery, social interactions, and more.

“Stress is everywhere and it will always be there. The question is how do we look at it from the perspective of growth rather than suffering, and if we can look at it from the perspective of growth then we can actually change the outcome of the situation.” 

“Touch is free; we can apply it to ourselves, we can apply it to each other. It doesn’t require a lot of skill. It does require a positive intention that is a sharing of kindness, affection, human interaction.” 

“Holding hands, getting a hug, these kinds of sensations are potently activating the parasympathetic nervous system so they dramatically calm the body. And they can do it within seconds without effort by the person receiving the hug or receiving the hand hold.” 

“We think about stress as sometimes being positive, helping us grow; and sometimes being negative, and hurting our performance and our recovery. 

“This is really the first of the gen-3 wearables that are wearables that actually change the body. And it’s the first one to use sound in a scientifically validated way to change the body, change the way we feel, and improve our ability to sleep and focus and recover from stress.”
