The Modern Mental Health Crisis Is an Environment Problem: Fix Your Nervous System, Boost HRV & Beat Overstimulation | Dr. David Rabin, MD, PhD

What if the mental health crisis isn’t simply a crisis of the mind—but a crisis of the environment we’ve created for the brain? In this fascinating conversation with Dr. Dave Rabin, one of my best podcasts ever, we explore why our nervous systems are being pushed beyond what they evolved to handle, how chronic overstimulation is fueling everything from burnout to dementia, why HRV is one of the most important biomarkers of longevity and the remarkable science and results of the ApolloNeuro.

Dr. David M. L. Rabin, MD, PhD, is a translational neuroscientist, psychiatrist, entrepreneur & inventor on a mission to cure mental illness. He has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for over 20 years, focusing on trauma, addiction, and human performance. Dr. Rabin is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, the Chief Medical Officer and co-founder at Apollo Neuroscience, the Executive Director of The Board of Medicine nonprofit medical board, and the Medical Director of The Apollo Clinic.  Dr. Rabin is also the author of A Simple Guide to Being Alive (2026). At the Apollo Clinic, Dr. Rabin and his team collaborate with clients and patients, empowering them to take control of their mental and physical health by tapping into the natural ability for the body to adapt and heal itself.

Join us as we explore:

• Why the mental health crisis is at the core a cognitive and neurological habitat mismatch emergency - things are too much, too fast and too loud and we are overstimulated, overwhelmed and overreactive.
• How an overstimulated world has crashed the glympathic system and led to the fact dementia is now the number one killer in multiple countries.
• The three major categories of chronic, acute nervous system overstimulation.
• Measuring overstimulation subjectively and critically objectively with data and using technology to curate the habitat required for a healthy nervous system.
• Why HRV is the true longevity signal, and how ApolloNeuro can elevate your HRV sustainably.
• How Dr Rabin used ApolloNeuro to move his HRV from the 20s to averaging over 100 ms and hitting heights of 220 ms.
• Dr Rabin’s 17 clinical trials prove scientifically the ApolloNeuro works to improve REM, deep sleep, decrease burnout and elevate HRV.
• Dr Rabin’s new book “A Simple Guide to Being Alive”, and his three most important guidelines.
