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.
