Dave Rabin

If somebody gives you a hug, it feels pretty good.

So this was developed based on that idea of can we give people this digital hug, if you will? As an example, the fellow who developed this, Dr.

Dave Rabin, good friend of mine, super smart guy, he was interested in trying to figure out burnout for ER physicians.

Because those, I mean, big deal for ER physicians.

For me, I'm not big on leaving things to chance or to give up much of my control.

And if you think back to episode 300 of this podcast with neuroscientist Dr. David Rabin, he said, when you pay attention to things you don't have control over, you're literally giving up your power.

You're inviting in the feeling of uncertainty, which is one of the biggest evolved fear triggers we have because it's there to keep us alive.

That's a really interesting quote.

I have talked to several neuroscientists, and you can go back and listen.

Dr, Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Dave Rabin, some of the most respected people in the world, and they will all correlate the mind and people that are positive versus negative and how much it affects their overall health, how it affects them when they recover from injury or illness, and how it determines their overall lifespan.

And I ask you this and say this out loud

loudHow many people that carry a negative attitude or showcase negativity or have a negative vibe or energy to them, do you look at and think to yourself or say out loud, "Wow, that person is the epitome of good health"? And I say that rhetorically, and I've given this speech, and I say, "I'll wait." And I never see a hand go up and give me any example of somebody that is highly negative that they are pinpointing out to me that they look at and say, "Wow, I bet they're healthy." But I'll tell you what, people that are unhealthy, you're gonna notice that aura to them almost 99% of the time.

Welcome to The Psychedelic Report, your single source of truth for the psychedelic news.

I'm your host, Dr. Dave Raven.

I'm a neuroscientist and psychiatrist trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as well as

MDMA-assisted therapy.

and extraordinary clinical data, these medicines remain Schedule I federally.

Which brings me to one of the questions I get asked more than almost any other.

Dr. Dave, where can I actually go in America to have a safe, professionally supported psychedelic experience without going underground or leaving the country? Today, we've got an answer.

Colorado has become one of the few places in America where adults can access supported psilocybin experiences within an above-ground state law framework.

The quote for this episode comes from Leonardo da Vinci and says, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Today, we're joined by psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and inventor, Dr. David Rabin.

Dr. Dave is the co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience, executive director of the Board of Medicine, and medical director of the Apollo Clinic.

He has spent over two decades researching the impact of chronic stress, developing cutting-edge non-invasive therapies to combat trauma, addiction, and mental illness.

Before we begin, the right bit of inspiration can completely change the trajectory of someone's life.

If there's a friend or loved one out there who needs to hear this episode or could use some help to win the day, share it with them right now.

All right, let's win the day with Dr. David Rabin.

Doug, great to see you.

And then also their judgment, and so this is where I get into not only just, you know, one-off analysis, but what is the multi-turn, um, approach and nuances? And so we had one of, one of our, um, our second paper that we published, one of our awesome experts, Dr.

Dave Rabin, uh, psyco- psychiatrist and neuroscientist, he takes a very different perspective than the statistically average view on neuroscience.

He looks at things like, and so it came up that he doesn't subscribe to what is the, you know, psychology 101 polyvagal theory.

He actually explicitly rejects that theory as part of his practice, but nowhere has it been written down that, you know, he doesn't subscribe to that.

And so if you were asked, you know, ChatGPT or Claude or whatever, say, "Pretend you're Dr. Dave Rabin and tell me your thoughts on this," it will reach out towards what is the Wikipedia definition of, you know, stress response in the body, polyvagal theory, not knowing that he personally rejects that.

But working with us, working human the loop to build the model together, these are the types of dark data that come into making his model not only a higher fidelity, but his, not some other big AI company's.

This is his model that is verified, validated, stamp of approval based on his work and his approach and his judgment and nuance, and that's what expertise is.

I, I'm really curious.

I had good discussions with Dr. Dave Rabin about this, and I'd love another, uh, outlook on it from you, because I know you have experience with it, and not enough talk about this in, in my community and other communities.

It's kind of in the niche environment, and I wanna kinda spread the word more and give it a better understanding.

Yeah.

It's getting a lot of attention.

There's a lot of people that are coming in, working with the medicine that don't have...

I, I love Dr. Dave Rabin.

I was just talking to him, like, couple weeks ago.
