🚨 The #1 Question I Get: "What's the Best Ultrasound Device to Buy?" (My Official Answer + Regional Guide)
Welcome to the group! I know the first few modules are in the Classroom: Skool.com/vagus/classroom available to read right now - but I always see the same question pop up immediately: "What device should I buy?" Instead of *I guess* hoping you will make use of the Classroom which already has the answer, or hoping you would use the Search feature at the top of the site, I wanted to put the answer front and center. This post will be pinned at the top, so you can reference it anytime. The goal is to get you started with the right tool for your region. Let's break it down: USA: If you are in the USA: The US-1000 is your go-to. It’s affordable, incredibly effective, and the perfect entry point for Vagus Nerve Stimulation. For around $54 USD, it’s one of the most accessible biohacks you can invest in. The benefits—from reduced inflammation and deeper sleep to a calmer nervous system—are tremendous for the price. - 👉 Click for Module 2: How to Buy an Ultrasound - 👉 Click for Module 3: How to Use & Place Ultrasound 🌍 If you are in Canada: Great news, the US-1000 is also easily available. - Canada Supplier: Link EU: If you are in the EU or UK: The Rules are a Little Different Due to regulations and availability, the US-1000 isn't sold here. You’ll be looking at the US-2000 Pro class of device. Don't let the "Pro" name intimidate you! It simply means these units produce a higher power output and offer more focused stimulation. You don't really have a choice in the matter, but honestly, you're getting a slightly more powerful unit out of the gate.

📸 The #2 Question: "Got Any Pictures of How to Use This Thing?" (Yes! Here is the Visual Guide + The Golden Rules)
You got your device (hopefully from the pinned post above! 👆), and now you're staring at it thinking, "Okay... but where does this thing actually go on my neck?" It is the second most common question I get, and the answer is critical. Slapping the ultrasound on the wrong spot is like trying to charge your phone with the wrong cable—it just won't work, and you might get a weird error message (dizziness, tingling, etc.). I have built a whole module dedicated to this, complete with diagrams and a video guide. It covers the exact anatomy, the "mirror trick," and how to avoid overstimulation. 👉 [CLICK HERE FOR MODULE 3: Ultrasound Setup & Neck Placement] The "Cheat Sheet" Before You Click: Since you are here asking for pictures, here is a quick preview of what is waiting for you inside that module so you can get it right the first time: 1. The Setup (Don't Skip This!) - Gel is Boss: Do not turn the device on without it. It is not lotion; it is the conductor. - Warm it Up: Cold gel is a shock to the system. Warm the bottle in your hands first for a spa-like vibe. 2. The "Sweet Spot" Placement - The Location: It is on the left side of your neck (you can do the right side ONLY when you're absolutely sure you can find the left side Vagus Nerve). - The Landmarks: You are aiming for the point between the crease behind your jawline, the bottom of your earlobe, and the big neck muscle (sternocleidomastoid). - The Mirror Trick: Use a mirror to watch the placement. If you feel a tingle or your voice wobbles, you are hitting a nerve—move slightly inward (towards your windpipe). 3. The 5-Minute Goldilocks Rule - Minute 0-1: Level 1 (Gentle introduction) - Minute 2-3: Level 2-3 (Building warmth) - Minute 4-5: Level 4 (The "Ahhh" zone) - Red Flag: Nausea or headache? Stop immediately and sip cold water. Bonus: When to Do It (Module 4 Sneak Peek) Timing matters! Most people love this before bed for deep sleep, but you can also do a low-intensity session in the morning for "alert calmness" without the jitters.

Eliminate Digital Distractions With The Freedom Setup Protocol
The Freedom Setup establishes a hardware-level barrier against digital interference by migrating Hour of Power audio content away from the smartphone environment. This protocol utilizes dedicated headphones with integrated MP3 functionality to eliminate the cognitive load associated with notifications and application-switching. By sequestering the audio file on a self-contained unit, the practitioner ensures an uninterrupted delivery of the signal necessary for maintaining physiological continuity. Hardware selection centers on over-the-ear RR Sports Headphones equipped with thirty-two gigabytes of internal storage and a localized playback interface. These units provide sweat resistance, passive noise attenuation, and a stable physical fit for extended hour-long sessions. The internal storage capacity allows the device to function as a standalone repository for high-fidelity audio, removing the connectivity requirements of Bluetooth or proximity to a primary mobile device. System integration follows a precise data transfer sequence compatible with both Windows and Mac operating environments. Users connect the hardware via a direct USB interface and manually migrate the Hour of Power MP3 file into the designated music directory on the drive. This physical ritual of file transfer and hardware ejection serves as an intentional precursor to the practice, signaling a transition from active digital engagement to a state of focused auditory reception. The practical implication of this offline architecture is the creation of a reliable neurological cue for shifting the autonomic nervous system into a parasympathetic state. Associating a specific piece of hardware with a single function allows the subconscious to bypass the distractions of the modern attention economy. This method highlights the importance of device-specific rituals in optimizing the efficacy of sound-based interventions and restorative neuroscience. https://www.skool.com/vagus/classroom/7b29343d?md=e9d8d6fbd0544b5c978c72cdec69bcec

Eliminate Digital Distractions With The Freedom Setup Protocol
less migraines! + questions about overstimulation & spleen
after 7ish weeks of daily vagal nerve stimulation via the neck, the biggest change i've experienced is drastically reduced migraine frequency! i went from having migraines several times per week, and since starting ultrasound i've had maybe 4 total! curious if others have had similar experiences? i will say, i did kind of go rogue after watching the initial videos...i started with just a few min/day but now do like10-15 min/day at medium/high setting on the US PRO 2000. i haven't noticed a substantial change in anxiety, POTS symptoms or ME/CFS symptoms, which i'm really hoping for. i was just rereading some of the guides and am now wondering if i might be overstimulating by doing 10-15 min per day on the left side of neck on medium/high settings? should i scale back? lastly, i just tried the spleen for the first time (2ish min on the low setting)! though i will admit, even though i watched the instructional video and did some of my own research, it's hard knowing if i've got the right spot! any extra tips for ensuring i'm in the right place? would also love to hear about people's experiences with spleen stimulation, especially if it's been helpful for chronic illness symptoms!
