Broken Heart? Your Vagus Nerve May Be The Culprit
Heartbreak literally broken? Maybe your vagus nerve is ghosting you. Scientists snipped cardiac nerves in mice, mimicking a bad breakup. Their hearts aged faster! Fibrosis spiked, ejection fraction tanked. Ouch. Think clogged highways and grumpy heart cells. The vagus nerve, it seems, whispers sweet nothings (acetylcholine!) that chill out angry inflammatory molecules. No vagus? Inflammation party! But here's the plot twist: electrical zaps jumpstarted those nerves. Fibrosis? Reversed! Like a love song rewinding time. So, boost that vagal tone! Meditate, breathe deep, maybe sing to your heart. A happy vagus = a youthful ticker. Who knew?

Overview of Methods of Ultrasound Stimulation of Vital Vagus Centers
Hell all ! Whew! the group is expanding faster than I envisioned ! I want to provide a "Full Scope" view of what you *can* do with the Vagus Nerve Stimulation Tech we have available (Once you get to LVL 2) but - which, if you read this post, will be able to see right here on the wall. 1) Vagus Nerve Cervical Stimulation with Ultrasound: You will be placing the Ultrasound on the left side of the neck - 2-5 Mins is good - Start Low and Work Way Up - Shouldn't Feel Anything from Ultrasound Itself - but effects can be very calming if used before bed, assisting in Sleep, and improving HRV. 2) Spleen Stimulation with Ultrasound: A relatively difficult spot to stimulate, get help if possible. But can definitely be done yourself too. Going to want 5 mins on Medium to High intensity, due to likelihood of imperfect placement, and it's going to be "peering" through rib cage window slits. Excellent for helping your body control inflammation globally. 3) Cerebral Ultrasound - Insular Cortex Stimulation: This targets a region of the brain that deals with your bodies memory of previous inflammatory responses. Thus, stimulation of this region increases brain neuroplasticity, and enables you to "move on" from previous cyclical inflammatory responses. (People associate emotional "pain" with an inflammation response - thus a painful memory (trigger) (trauma even) can produce an identical inflammatory spike throughout the body) - The Insular Cortex is where this happens. Highly supportive of Spleen Stimulation protocol. 4) Other uses have been explored for Lymphatic Drainage, but this is on a case by case basis, and typically utilized best when/if the body has some major lymphatic drainage issue (water retention / lymph swelling in specific parts of the body [such as left side of body near armpits] that may benefit from increased lymphatic drainage activity) - Ultrasound amplifies Lymphatic systems (also glymphatic brain cleaning is activated as well) - and is generally utilized for 5 minutes on Medium to High settings, as is comfortable on the body - and likely for 1-2 weeks until swelling has subsided.

frozen shoulder, dupuytren's contracture
Just wondering with the the US 2000 Pro device would that be useful for frozen shoulder? I have dupuytren's contracture on my left hand which will be operated on in a couple of weeks time, but the frozen shoulder is making sleep difficult and these 2 issues seem to go together and it seems like inflammation plays a big part. Would I be better off using ultrasound directly on the shoulder, or Vagus nerve or both? I am using redlight therapy but there seems to be no respite from the pain.
Vagus Nerve: The Key To Longevity And Reversing Age-Related Decline?
The healthier your Vagus Nerve - the Longer Your Life ? New Groundbreaking studies are indicating this may be the case, actually - very cool ! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41514-025-00293-2 Aging: your body's "check engine" light stuck ON? Turns out, the vagus nerve—your chill-out guru—fades with age. Less vagal "ommm" means more inflammation & grumpy old cells accumulate. Cue the science: zapping the ear (aVNS) can reignite that vagal glow. The result? Less inflammation, fewer senescent cells acting up. Think of it as turning down the inflammatory noise. Benefits in mice: better strength, endurance, and cells behaving younger. Like a system reboot for a more vibrant you. Vagus nerve: not just for digestion; it’s longevity’s conductor! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41514-025-00293-2 Vagus nerve integrity impacts the aging process. Declining vagal tone correlates with increased inflammation and cellular senescence. Specifically, parasympathetic deregulation elevates inflammatory cytokines. This drives accumulation of senescent cells. Auricular vagus nerve stimulation (aVNS) can restore vagal tone. This reduces senescence markers in key tissues. aVNS suppresses cytokines and enhances mitophagy. The result is improved mitochondrial respiration. Animal models demonstrate healthspan extension via aVNS. RNA sequencing confirms reversal of age-related gene expression. These findings suggest the vagus nerve as a therapeutic target. Modulation may mitigate age-related decline.
