🚨 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.

Intro + first experience with US VNS
Hi! I haven't introduced myself here yet. I'm a physical therapist and I mostly work with women who have all kinds of chronic health issues. As I have some health issues myself, from the beginning on I've been trying to find a natural way to heal them. I found a lot of good things, but I noticed that the most dominant thing for me now, and for a lot of the women that I see in my practice, is stress and the vagus nerve. So the past years I've been adding VNS techniques to my toolbox. As a PT I also own a ultrasound device, and I had been wondering what else I could be doing with it. So, it's no coincidence that I ended up here in the Vagus School. I'm looking forward to learning and experimenting more! The thing I noticed since I've been using the US VNS for the past 2 weeks, is maybe just a small thing for some, but for me it's quite remarcable. Due to my thyroid issues and chronic fatigue I've always been a very sound sleeper. Nothing wakes me up at night or in the morning ;-) , and often I've been hesitant in going to bed because I wasn't sure if I would wake up on time. So I had a lot of sleep issues because of this when I was a student, especially around my exams. Since I've been using the US VNS, most days I've been waking up 15-20 minutes before my alarm is supposed to go off! For me that's a big milestone. Recently I bought an alarm especially for the hard of hearing with a vibrating pod to put underneath your pillow, and now I might not have a use for it anymore :-) Kind regards, Vanessa

How To Lower Inflammation By 70 Percent In Seconds
70 percent less inflammation in seconds — scientists found a physical circuit that lets your brain issue a manual "stand-down" order to your immune system. In 2000, Kevin Tracey mapped this physical circuit, proving the brain and immune system are linked by a hardwired neural loop. This inflammatory reflex uses sensory vagus nerve fibers to detect rising levels of inflammatory proteins like TNF and IL-1. These fibers provide a real-time readout to the brainstem, which triggers an immediate motor response back toward the body. The command travels through the celiac ganglion to the splenic nerve, delivering a precise signal directly into the spleen. Inside the spleen, the nerve releases noradrenaline that prompts specific T cells to produce acetylcholine. This chemical then binds to receptors on macrophages, the primary cells responsible for driving the inflammatory response. This binding action shuts down the signaling pathways that produce excess cytokines, effectively cooling the system. This chemical bridge is called the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway because it uses acetylcholine to silence the immune alarm. When this neural brake is weakened by low signal strength, the spleen stops receiving the order to stand down. Systemic inflammation then reflects a failing communication line rather than just an overactive immune response. Restoring this signal allows the brain to regain its natural authority over these inflammatory hubs. Maintaining the integrity of this regulatory wiring is essential for internal balance. The full breakdown is worth a read. https://ultraskool.com/blog/inflammatory-reflex-spleen-brain-axis
