45: Dr. Dave Rabin Explains the Science of Stress and Recovery

The Primal Shift

In this episode, we're exploring the intricate world of stress management with Dr. Dave Rabin, a neuroscientist, inventor, entrepreneur and co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience, which makes wearable devices that use low-frequency (inaudible) sound waves to help reduce stress levels and blood pressure, speed up recovery, and positively influence your autonomic nervous system by changing your heart rate variability (HRV).

Dr. Rabin shares his expert insights on the dual nature of stress (eustress vs. distress), and introduces us to innovative ways to harness this powerful force for good. We also talk about the Apollo wearable, including how it works and how I’ve used it to help increase my own HRV.

This conversation is a must-listen if you want to enhance your ability to manage stress and turn everyday tension into a source of strength.
