🚨 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.

different placements of VNS devices on the neck
Hello, I have recently started using a Truvega. I appreciate that the technology is different to your ultrasound device, but i notice that the placement on the neck is entirely different too. The Truvega is placed down from the corner of the mouth following the line of the neck pulse. I just wondered if you could explain the difference there? Many thanks.
Master Your Vagus Nerve For Instant Recovery And Emotional Calm
When you apply electrical stimulation to the auricular branch or ultrasound along the neck, you are directly modulating the Vagus nerve. This tenth cranial nerve originates in the medulla oblongata, descending behind the carotid artery to bridge the brainstem with the viscera. It is the primary conductor of the parasympathetic system. It governs heart rate, diaphragmatic breath, and the modulation of systemic inflammation via the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Notably, 80% of vagal fibers are afferent, carrying signals upward from the gut to the brain. This "neuroception" links the enteric nervous system’s 500 million neurons directly to emotional regulation and ventral vagal calm. Targeted stimulation trains "vagal tone," providing the physiological brake necessary to down-regulate fight-or-flight and initiate recovery. Our module details the anatomical tour and precise habits to optimize this circuit. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5859128/ https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29593576/ https://www.skool.com/vagus/classroom/d63d0b7b?md=1bce73d42d134b618bc9274bb57e4cfc
