In this video I go over various methods in an effort to stimulate my vagus nerve in order to improve HRV as well as cognition and sleep. I make my own device and then do a Hoolest VeRelief review and daily test. My results were very compelling!
Free method to help improve HRV:
Coherent breathing:
5-6 second inhale followed by a 5-6 second exhale.
Do about 1-2 minutes preferably in a comfortable location.

    NEW CHALLANGE: Please try polyphasic sleep. It's basically splitting your sleep into multiple ''blocks'' per day. That way you can sleep less while still getting enough so to say. I'm sure you can find out way more through research, and it'd be so interesting to see! I wanna try it, but idk if it's really that effective, if it works, what the side effects are, etc... Since your videos are so detailed and you actually try alot of stuff, i thought it would be the perfect challange for you.

    I wouldn’t discount it quite so fast, for a few reasons - 1) he’s a reasonably healthy dude and a HRV in the 50s is considered reasonably good. Whereas people with inflammatory/fight/flight vagus issues etc tend to have a much lower HRV with a lot of room for improvement; 2) all the info I’ve seen for the diy route has recommended using one ear clip for the left tragus, and one electrode pad on the left shoulder. This allows the electrical impulse to cover a larger area than he was doing; 3) you can get nicer ear clips with padding etc that are more comfortable to wear. I’m going to get some of those, but in the meantime I’ve slightly modified mine by adding a slice of foam from an earplug to the non-electrode side, and added some electrode gel adhesive I peeled from an electrode pad to the electrode side. This has had the dual benefit of it feeling a bit more comfy, and also providing better contact and conductivity, so less sharpness.

    I got the Mini version from the Hoolest, and it has been working well for as-needed stim on the go! I deep dove into HRV stimulation as a means to help manage some rheumatological conditions I have. I first heard about the importance of the vagus nerve function and vagal tone on Dr. Hauser's channel. He is a prolotherapy expert who believes correcting cervical instability, and the spinal curve is paramount to optimal vagus nerve functioning. Stimulators can help, but if you are compromising the nerve physically in any way, it won't help the nerve heal and work optimally long term. Use good posture, look up, and strengthen your stabilizing muscles, or get prolotherapy, if possible, in addition to these stimulating treatments!

    I started doing a polyvagal ear massage which basically does the same thing as the ear clip device in this video. The ear massage is less than 15 minutes and you don't need any equipment besides able fingers. My rem and deep sleep improves by 40-60% the morning after I do them and my HRV is trending much higher on those days too. More importantly, I'm feeling the "zen" you're speaking of and it is AWESOME!!! I've only done it 6 nights but the results are substancial.

    @@SuperDonBest Zone 2 (as defined by experts like Inigo San Millan) is technically based on lactate, not HR. For some people (probably well trained individuals), the top of zone 2 may be in the range of 70-80% max HR, but for others, it could be say 65%. The relation to HR would also vary based on exercise modality (running vs cycling for example) and the environment (temperature has a big effect on HR). If you don't really know (via lactate testing), it's better to be conservative. I would recommend starting at 60-65% of max HR and evaluating.
