If you're feeling burnt out, did you know that non-invasive brain technologies can make a big difference in your life? By delivering microcurrents to the brain through the vagus nerve, this innovative approach can address various mental health conditions without the need for invasive procedures.

We look into the world of non-invasive brain technologies, which entails delivering low-level electrical currents to targeted areas of the brain. These technologies have the potential to reduce stress, burnout, and address various mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. It's fascinating to learn about these exciting approaches to mental health management.

Neuroscientist Dr. Alison Smith shares her personal journey of Lyme disease and the anxiety disorder that followed. Her story sheds light on the importance of advocating for oneself and having open conversations with healthcare providers to explore all possible avenues for diagnosis and treatment.

Finally, we learn about the physiological cascade of the stress response and how it can differ between individuals. Dr. Smith highlights the importance of recognizing stress triggers and building resilience to prevent long-term mental health conditions like anxiety and panic disorders.
