EP240: Breakthrough Strategies for Overcoming Anxiety with Dr. Dave Rabin

IN THIS EPISODE

I don’t know anyone today who isn’t feeling a little anxious. 

And experts predict the mental health crisis will get much worse given our current pandemic. 

Which is why I couldn't be more excited to share one of the most brilliant neuroscientists and psychiatrists I have ever met, Dr. Rabin. In this week’s podcast we talk all about the limitations of our current mental health treatments and breakthrough (and researched-backed) strategies for overcoming anxiety and other mental health issues. 

As someone who is constantly searching for natural solutions for anxiety - this has been one of the most impactful podcasts I’ve ever recorded. 

Here are some of the awesome topics we dive into:

• The shocking truth about most mental health medicines
• His brain-boosting daily smoothie recipe
• Little known and incredibly effective psychiatric medicines
• The benefits of medicinal mushrooms (and his favorite brands)
• The 2 things he’s doing everyday for a healthy immune system
• Why he doesn’t like the word anxiety
• How to get the powerful brain benefits of meditating (even if you don’t meditate)
• A simple strategy for helping your kids feel calmer
• What resilience is and why it matters 
• The question you must ask yourself to build resilience
• A DIY way to measure how your body handles stress
• The “ideal” range for heart rate variability 
• The best ways to measure heart rate variability 
• Why feeling SAFE is central to vibrant health
• Three tools (you can use everyday) to shut down your fear response
• The breakthrough wearable technology that can improve feelings of safety, reduce anxiety and improve overall health
• What FLOW is and how you can measure it
• What the default mode network is - and how we can turn it off
• 2 psychiatric medicines with “breakthrough” status
• And so much more!

I sincerely hope this podcast is as enlightening for you as it was for me!
