Episode 350: From Halo to Flow: The Future of Brain Performance Tech w/ Erin Lee of Flow Neuroscience
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I’m joined by Erin Silver Lee, the CEO of Flow Neuroscience. We dig into some seriously cool stuff — including Flow’s recent acquisition of the Halo device, which uses non-invasive brain stimulation (TDCS) to boost both athletic and mental performance. Erin and I talk about how this tech works, what the current research says, and how it’s being applied to improve focus, sleep, neuroplasticity, and overall brain health. We also get into the real-world side of things — from navigating FDA regulations to running clinical trials and shaping the future of personalized brain optimization. If you’re curious about where neuroscience meets performance — and how safe, evidence-based brain stimulation might fit into the next generation of recovery and training tools — you’ll want to check this one out.
