Dr. Dave Rabin, MD, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, health tech entrepreneur & inventor who has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for over 15 years. 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 a staunch supporter of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Just like anything, these drugs in the right setting can be an extremely beneficial & powerful tool that can help people heal past trauma and potentially even improve our general mental health.
David and I discussed:
- Why Ketamine assisted therapy is the only current legal psychedelic
- The wrongful stigma psychedelic drugs have
- He explains what Apollo Neuro is
- We cover the "right to try clarification act" and its potential benefits
- Why mental health is in such a decline nationwide
- The importance of touch
- The potential benefits of psychedelic drugs under the right guidelines
- The illusion of uniquenesses
- The mind-body connection with regard to mental health
And so much more...
My Take: There's more we don't know than we do know. There are many plants, drugs, and natural ways that are deemed "bad" in a general sense but can heal people and have been found to be quite powerful under the right circumstances. Instead of demonizing drugs or plants (which are inherently not good or bad), we should be open to exploring and seeing if indeed there is a potential for good.
