Today, we are venturing into the confluence of neuroscience, psychiatry, and technological innovation with Dr. David Rabin, a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist and a leading figure in the realm of mental health. Dr. Rabin's groundbreaking work, from the therapeutic use of ketamine to exploring MDMA's potential in treating mental illnesses, underscores his commitment to reimagining mental health care.
Dr. Rabin co-founded Apollo Neuroscience, introducing a wearable device that mirrors the therapeutic effects of MDMA, offering a novel pathway to mental and emotional wellbeing without pharmacological intervention. His work redifines our understanding of stress and trauma, promising profound new ways for healing.
As we dissect the science behind MDMA's capacity to foster the sense of safety necessary for healing, and explore how Apollo Neuro replicates this, this episode is an invitation to redefine what's possible in our quest for mental health guided by one of the field’s most dynamic figures.

Today on Superhumanize, we are focusing on the heart of health with Dr. Stephen Hussey,  whose work bridges evolutionary biology and modern wellness. Dr. Hussey, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, brings a unique perspective on heart health, diet, and the evolution of human wellness. From his own health challenges, including a diagnosis of diabetes at a young age, Dr. Hussey has carved out an approach that challenges the conventional narratives around heart disease, dietary fats, and the role of nutrition in our lives.
In his work, Dr. Hussey emphasizes the importance of understanding heart health through the lens of our evolutionary past, questioning the vilification of cholesterol, and highlighting the limitations of current medical paradigms. His insights into the fluid dynamics of the cardiovascular system, the metabolic preferences of the heart, and the critical roles of stress and diet in heart health are reshaping how we think about our most vital organ.
I invite you to join us as Dr. Hussey shares his groundbreaking insights and practical strategies for nurturing a high-performing heart, leveraging the power of diet, and rethinking our approach to health and wellness.
