Dr. David Rabin: The Neuroscience of Learning, Safety & Why Gen Z's Brains Are Struggling
Psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Dave Rabin (co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience) joins Kenny Santucci to break down why modern life feels so complicated — and why it doesn't have to be. From his new book "A Simple Guide to Being Alive," Dr. Rabin explains the neuroscience of bottom-up learning, why Gen Z is the first generation to score lower on cognitive tests than the one before it, how screens hijack your nervous system, and why feeling safe is the foundation of learning, healing, and manifestation. They also get into caffeine, nicotine, and nootropics from a neuroscientist's perspective — and why we should treat plant medicines with respect instead of abuse.If you've ever felt like you don't know how to sleep, calm down, or focus — this episode is your reset button.#Neuroscience #StrongNewYork #ApolloNeuro #MentalHealth #podcast CONNECT: Follow Kenny: @kennysantucciFollow Strong New York: @strongnewyorkFollow Dr.David Rabin: @drdavidrabinThis episode is sponsored by Celsius, the energy drink that fuels every Strong New York workout.
