🚨 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.

Say Goodbye to Ozempic - Say *HELLO* to ... Ultrasound ?
Recently Dr. Kevin Tracey has been sharing LOADS of phenomenal information about Ozempic and GLP-1 drugs, Vagus Nerve Stimulation, and even Ultrasound ! Most recent one: "Using focused ultrasound (FUS) in the lab we wanted to mimic what GLP-1 drugs do — without the weekly injections. Using a machine found in every hospital (and every submarine) we stimulated the vagus nerve in obese mice and they lost weight. And they had less inflammation. Does a new future with fewer drugs await?" Do you guys get this ? There is a possibility that something like the US-2000 Pro could be utilized (either the stock version or with minimal frequency modifications, we think it's doable) - and you could throw away your GLP-1 drugs, or never need to buy them in the first place, wouldn't that be sweet !? I think so ! And from earlier: "Ozempic and GLP-1 cause weight loss via the vagus nerve. In people whose vagus nerve was surgically cut (below the diaphragm, not in the neck), GLP-1 did not reduce food intake or accelerate metabolism. These drugs work through the vagus, in ways we still do not fully understand." We are entering into the Golden Age for Vagus Nerve- Ultrasound Stimulation folks. You all joined at the perfect time - I highly recommend you grab an Ultrasound, and start recording your results immediately, we may find we're sitting on a world-changing discovery. It's been a honor and a privilege to serve all of you in your Vagus Nerve Journey, and I will continue to do so. Sincerely, Sterling Cooley

Major Breakthrough: An Easier Way To Target Inflammation Effectively Through Abdomen
This research is actually more important that I initially realized* We may be able to target abdominal regions (no more spleen location - which is difficult) if this research holds up and expands further, I don't see why it wouldn't scale up, this could be massive for US-1000 and US-2000 Pro owners, you guys are so darn lucky ! Recent research confirms that transcutaneous focused ultrasound applied to the epigastrium suppresses systemic inflammation by modulating subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve fibers. This non-invasive approach utilizes acoustic pressure to stimulate mechanosensitive vagal afferents. In controlled rodent models, a 10-minute application at 1 MHz resulted in a 180% increase in vagal firing. The physiological result is a significant downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Data shows a 48% reduction in TNF-α and a 42% drop in IL-1β within two hours of stimulation. The mechanism targets the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. By increasing efferent tone, ultrasound signals the spleen to inhibit cytokine release via α7nAChR receptors on macrophages. Human feasibility trials demonstrate a 30% cytokine reduction. This bioelectronic intervention offers a precise, drug-free alternative for managing rheumatoid arthritis, IBD, and sepsis. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41671184
