The Superhumanize Podcast Mindfulness, MDMA, and Mental Wellness: Exploring the Convergence of Psychedelic Therapy and Technology with Dr. David Rabin
Today, we are venturing into the confluence of neuroscience, psychiatry, and technological innovation with Dr. David Rabin, a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist and a leading figure in the realm of mental health. Dr. Rabin's groundbreaking work, from the therapeutic use of ketamine to exploring MDMA's potential in treating mental illnesses, underscores his commitment to reimagining mental health care.
