Ep. 64: Does Brain Stimulation Really Work? w/ Nathalie Gouailhardou

In Today’s Episode: Does Brain Stimulation Really Work? Join us as we talk with Nathalie Gouailhardou, founder of Neurode and neurotechnology innovator, who shares her insights on how non-invasive brain stimulation and measurement may transform focus, ADHD management, and the future of mental performance. Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode: -How Nathalie turned her ADHD diagnosis and neuroscience background into building Neurode, a brain stimulation headband. -The science behind brain measurement, stimulation, and why the prefrontal cortex is central to focus and executive function. -What makes Neurode different from other neurotech devices, and why clinical research matters. Questions We Answer in This Episode: -Can brain stimulation devices actually improve focus and ADHD symptoms? -How is Neurode different from other neurotechnology tools like Mendi? -What does the future of neurotechnology mean for focus, mental health, and human potential?
