Summary
In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with neuroscientist and psychiatrist Dr. Dave Rabin to explore why chronic stress can keep your nervous system stuck in survival mode. You'll learn what happens in the brain and body during fight or flight and why feeling safe plays such an important role in shifting into recovery. Dr. Rabin explains how neuroplasticity allows the brain to develop new responses to stress and why trauma is shaped not only by what happens to us, but by how our nervous system processes those experiences. You'll also hear how gratitude, breathing, soothing touch, and other safety signals can help retrain the body's stress response. You'll also discover the science behind vagus nerve activation and how technology like Apollo Neuro uses gentle vibrations to support nervous system regulation. Dr. Rabin shares what his research reveals about stress resilience, sleep, recovery, and the practical ways you can help your body shift from chronic stress toward a calmer, more adaptable state.
