These are somewhat new. There are a handful of FDA approved devices that you can use. You generally have to have a prescription to get them though. You can buy a ton of these as normal consumers. And I have not been impressed with any of them. The data are, I would say, weak at best on them. I have personally used many of them and found like I got nothing out of it.

The people we had try it got nothing out of it at all. The studies that are the most supportive are ones that are funded by the companies themselves. So that doesn't inherently mean the data are wrong or bad or manipulated, but you all know what that means. So for me, when it comes to these commercially available nerve stimulators,

Until we can see some more independent testing done and the data are more impressive, I generally don't like to use them. That said, if you had a different experience and you like it a lot, that's by all means, that's great. Use it. I have tried some of the clinical ones, the FDA approved ones, the ones that require a prescription, and those are far more powerful. Those have been effective.

I specifically have used one called the Gamma Core. You have to have a RX for it, as I mentioned. No affiliation to the company. But it is quite effective. You'll notice it pretty substantially. Your data will change almost instantaneously if you're measuring it and monitoring it. So mostly when it comes to these things, these are coming from neurologists, people with severe migraines.

This is generally the application. This is not something that we often think about as somebody who's like trying to make their HRV score better today. So don't swing a sledgehammer at a fly, if you know what I mean. But these things aren't out there. Hopefully that gives you a sense of a bunch of different tools and strategies. I intentionally picked things all over the map.

Cold water to a breathing drill to technology from free to a little bit more expensive and a whole bunch of other things in between that can shift or improve that state instantaneously. We're going to transition now and finish up by talking about some of the things that will actually make improvements chronically.

So let's get you out of that hole and let's make you a more permanent, more resilient nervous system. Remember our goal. We want to desensitize. We want that system running in the background and for us to have the ability to have some control over it when we want.

If you think about basic desensitization, the exact same principles apply here, which means you can already intuit a lot of the solutions. I'll give you some, again, what the science shows us, what we've experienced, but there's obviously many, many more things or an unending list of stuff you could try. Think about this from the perspective of the immune system.

Now, I'll tell you a personal story. My daughter has an incredibly severe allergy to cashews. We put her through a treatment, it took us about 18 months, and she now eats cashews every day. We were in a position for, when she was younger, to have to carry an EpiPen with us. If there was cashew dust in the air, there's a non-zero chance that she could die. It was that severe.

How did that program work? Basic desensitization. You give them a very, very, very small load. Don't put anything else in the system that could irritate them. As time goes on, you give them a slightly higher amount of load until she got up to eating, again, multiple cashews a day.

If you look at a totally different system, another personal experience I had many years ago, I had an athlete who was struggling a lot with low back pain. I called a colleague of mine, a physical therapist, Dr. Quinn Hennock.
