**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Jim Poole. He's the president and CEO of Solace Lifesciences. We are talking about the neuroscience of stress. The last year has been one of the most stressful in memory. Add on top our always on technology, poor sleep schedules, alcohol, political tensions, and it's no surprise that the second great wave of stress is upon us. Today, expect to learn how the balance of your autonomic nervous system is constantly being hijacked, how the crazy technology underpinning Jim's flagship product, NuCalm, works, why the sleep industry is in such a mess, how manipulating your brain waves can impact your mood, and much more. Honestly, if the technology that Jim's talking about manages to give you half the energy that he appears to just ambiently exist in, I'm gonna consider it a win. I have played around with the NuCalm system myself and it does make me feel really great. So if you like the sound of it, once he finishes talking about it toward the end, you can go to modernwisdomnewcalm.com and you can check it out.
