Power Quotes From The Show
Achieving Greater Wellness Through Balance
"Unlocking greater wellness is about achieving balance. It's not about achieving one extreme or another; we're constantly bouncing back and forth between extremes. It's about finding balance and balance is resilience. Balance is homeostasis; it's the ability to not just mentally, emotionally, and spiritually bounce back from stress quickly but it's the ability to physically have our bodies recover and come back quickly from stress over and over again while also maintaining and sustaining an incredibly high level of peak performance which is achievable." - Dr. David Rabin
How Apollo Neuro Works With Your Stress
"With the Apollo Neuro device, it doesn't require you to actively do anything like breathwork, rubbing the ears, putting pressure on the chest, or soothing touch to activate the vagus nerve. All of those activities work but if you've never been trained to use those techniques under stress or at all, then they are incredibly challenging to master and especially if you've never practiced them; sometimes they can take hundreds or thousands of hours for people to master them well enough to use under stress. We've designed Apollo Neuro for people like myself who never learned breathwork, how to meditate, or any of these self-soothing techniques as a kid. Apollo Neuro can show you what it's like to activate your body's natural calming system and once you feel it, it's easier to learn how to do it on your own." - Dr. David Rabin
Wellness Is Our Free Will
"Wellness is recognizing our true free will which also includes 'free won't.' It's the opportunity to make a decision at any moment of what we choose to allow in. If we choose love, our lives will be filled with love in the moments we choose it. If we choose fear, our lives will be filled with fear in the moments we choose it. It's literally that simple. So, wellness in its simplest and most actionable form is just recognizing that we have this choice and making the conscious decision that we all have the power to choose love in every moment that we can." - Dr. David Rabin
