Send us a text

In this episode of the Next Level Human Podcast, Dr. Jade Teta interviews Dr. Kultar Garcha, the Chief Medical Officer of Halo, about the Halo device, a transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) technology. They discuss the device's applications in enhancing neuroplasticity, mood, focus, and sleep, as well as its differences from other brain stimulation technologies like EEG and TMS. Dr. Garcha shares insights from real-world data, highlighting the device's effectiveness in improving mental health and cognitive functions, and emphasizes the importance of consistent use and adherence to protocols for optimal results.

takeaways

• The Halo device uses transcranial direct current stimulation to enhance neuroplasticity.
• tDCS is different from EEG and TMS; it modulates brain activity rather than measuring it.
• Real-world data shows over 60% improvement in mood, focus, and sleep among users.
• Repeated use of the device is crucial for long-term benefits.
• The device can be used alongside meditation and mindfulness practices for enhanced effects.
• User adherence to the stimulation protocol significantly impacts outcomes.
• The technology is not a shortcut but an amplifier of existing practices.
• Understanding individual user profiles can help predict device effectiveness.
• The device has shown promise in both well populations and those with mental health challenges.
• Future research will focus on understanding the synergy between tDCS and other wellness practices.
