Ariel Garten—neuroscientist, artist, and former psychotherapist—talks about her journey through multiple chemical sensitivities and what inspired her to co-create Muse, the brain-sensing headband.
Muse (you’ve probably heard me mention it—I’ve been using it and loving the results!) lets you actually see when your brain and nervous system are out of balance, and gently helps bring things back to calm. It’s been surprisingly helpful for people with ME/CFS and Long Covid too—as studies show it improve blood flow to the brain, ease stress, and support recovery. _______ 🧘🏼♀️ Choose Muse — https://choosemuse.com/raelan Unlock 15% off the Muse EEG Headband by tapping the link ⤴️
