Stress will KILL you. 

Maybe not today… But, if you’re not consistently implementing ways to reduce stress and chill the f*ck out, you’re putting yourself on the fast track to an early grave.  

Dr. David Rabin is a neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, health-tech entrepreneur, and inventor who has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for more than a decade.  

He’s also the co-founder and chief innovation officer at Apollo Neuroscience, which has developed the first scientifically validated wearable technology that actively improves energy, focus, and relaxation.  

Dr. Rabin is currently conducting research on the epigenetic regulation of trauma responses and recovery to explain the mechanism of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and the neurobiology of belief.  

If that all sounds a little complicated, don’t stress.  In this episode, David gives you some simple, straightforward ways to reduce stress and anxiety and improve your health.
