This week's guest is medical psychiatrist and neuroscientist, Dr David Rabin. You can shrug your shoulders about patients not responding to treatments or you can figure out other ways to support them and that's what David has done for over 15 years. Dr. Rabin received his MD in medicine and PhD in neuroscience from Albany Medical College and specialized in psychiatry with a distinction in research at Western Psychiatric Institute & Clinic at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.He has specifically focused his research on the clinical translation of non-invasive therapies that improve mood, focus, sleep, and quality of life in treatment-resistant illnesses. Through his work over the years, Dr. Rabin realized that his patients with chronic mental illnesses who were diagnosed as "treatment-resistant" (having tried two or more gold-standard western treatment courses and failed to sustain sufficient symptom remission) often experienced symptom relief with empathic listening, soothing music, therapeutic touch, biofeedback, yoga, meditation, and other similar practices in the office, but struggled to maintain these benefits at home.Today we talked about different ways to support and heal PTSD, chronic stress, anxiety and other mental health challenges so that a higher percentage of patients can find solutions. It's a fascinating insight into Dr Rabin's work from his research on microdosing of psychedelics, to psychotherapy, meditation and the creation of wearable tech “Apollo”. I hope you enjoy this look into David's work and connect to the further exploration in the show notes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
