If you are curious about the vagus nerve and the possibility of actually tapping into your body's ability to shift into a parasympathetic state (rest & digest), and out of a sympathetic state (fight, flight, freeze, flop, fawn, and fracture)--then this episode is for you. We discuss the autonomic nervous system and learn ways to regulate the body including Dr. Nicholas Hool, Ph.D's new device--which Dr. Nicole Cain has been using herself!   Nicholas Hool, Ph.D. Founder and CEO of Hoolest Performance Technologies, Inc. Creator of the VeRelief Prime High Strength Drug-Free Stress Recovery Tool.   Hool received his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at ASU under a world renowned consumer neuromodulation expert. During his program, Hool was exposed to a variety of neuromodulation technologies and discovered vagus nerve stimulation, a powerful way to calm the nervous system. At the time, the technology was clinically proven but had a poor user experience. So Hool developed the VeRelief vagus nerve stimulation tool, a powerful and easy to use device for busy professionals looking for stronger forms of stress relief.
