NuCalm’s Jim Poole on anxiety: Why the brain ‘knows how to heal’

Evgeny Lebedev is joined by Jim Poole, chairman, president and chief executive of neuroscience company Solace Life Sciences.

The company owns NuCalm, a technology designed to reduce stress and improve sleep without recourse to drugs.

You may have even spotted the Duchess of Sussex wearing one of their stress relief patches.

In this episode, Evgeny and Jim explore the evolution of the human brain, anxiety and how to deregulate the amygdala, a small, almond-shaped part of the brain that plays a central role, which Jim says ‘feeds on fear’.

In this episode:

  • The current state of brain understanding
  • Brain psychology and its evolution
  • The autonomic nervous system and how it shapes everything from stress to relaxation
  • Ho to control anxious thoughts
  • How to downregulate the amygdala, the part of the brain that triggers intense fear responses
  • Different frequencies in the brain and how they influence mental states
  • Why “the Western world may be leading the cause” of anxiety
