What do vibrations and the psychedelic experience have in common?
MDMA therapy is revolutionizing mental health treatment, helping people overcome PTSD, anxiety, and emotional trauma with unprecedented success. But what if you could tap into those same powerful benefits—without taking a single drug?
It turns out your brain responds to more than just chemistry. Vibration, frequency, and rhythm have been shaping human consciousness for millennia—from ancient chanting rituals to modern neuroscience breakthroughs. Could the right vibrations unlock the same neuroplasticity and healing pathways as psychedelics?
In this episode, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and psychedelic researcher, to explore how vibrations can rewire your brain, enhance neuroplasticity, and even mimic the effects of MDMA therapy. Dr. Rabin’s work led to the creation of Apollo Neuro, a wearable device that taps into your nervous system’s natural ability to regulate stress, boost focus, and accelerate recovery—without pharmaceuticals.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
• How specific vibrations trigger deep relaxation and neuroplasticity
• Why MDMA therapy works—and how vibration-based tech can simulate it
• The surprising science behind music, frequency, and altered states
• How Apollo Neuro enhances sleep, focus, and emotional resilience
• The overlooked role of heart rate variability in longevity and health
• Why stress is the biggest obstacle to healing—and how to override it
