Summary
What if your phone is stressing your body more than you realize? In this Digital Social Hour Episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, founder of Apollo Neuro, at Dave Asprey’s conference to talk about stress, sleep, HRV, the nervous system, attention, trauma, psychedelics, and how technology can either hurt us or help us heal. Dr. Dave explains why constant phone use overstimulates the nervous system, why recovery matters more than most people think, and how Apollo uses vibration and vagus nerve stimulation to help the body shift into a calmer state. The conversation also covers supplement absorption, deep sleep, REM sleep, jet lag, HRV, Gen Z’s learning challenges, screen time in schools, attention as a trainable muscle, generational trauma, epigenetics, MDMA-assisted therapy, and the future of psychedelic research. Dr. Dave also shares how trauma can be passed down through generations and why healing yourself may help stop that cycle for the next generation.
