How Your Heart Helps Heal Depression with HRV Biofeedback | Rohan Dixit

I am always searching for new ways to help my patients, and I go to the source!!
One area where I often see my patients struggle is the area of implementing strategies of stress reduction, breathing, and meditation. Even when one thinks they have mastered it, they continue to struggle when they are faced with a stressor - whether it's day-to-day stress, an acute situation, or chronic conflict. It's about leaning into learning how to respond to these things once you have mastered a practice.
I've found that "wearables" are helpful in helping you to "tune into" your body in real-time. Apps on your phone and products like Heart Math help, but I haven't seen anything quite like Lief, a product you apply onto your chest much like an EKG lead.
Here is a link to learn more about Lief through my interview with Rohan.
Rohan Dixit is the founder and CEO of Lief Therapeutics (https://getlief.com), a digital mental health company built around a breakthrough wearable device.

Right now you can get a 20% off discount using the code: WHATIF which will run approx. $50/mo according to Rohan. He feels that a 6-8 month trial will help to train your mind to sync with your body. He states that some health insurance companies do have reimbursements for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) with a prescription from your doctor/nurse practitioner.
Call your insurance company to see if they will pay for it as a treatment of anxiety/depression with a prescription from an out-of-network provider (ME!).
