High intensity Right Insular Cortex stimulation
Ive been targeting the Right Insular Cortex ever since I got my US-2000, on MEDIUM. It has been beneficial. Last night despite the warning, I tried it on HIGH intensity for giggles (I know, I know..). I thought I'd share my experience for the sake of science and anyone curious: In short it reminded me of a bad trip. Late at night I placed the device on my head, and within seconds I felt like my heart was racing, and that I was out of breath. I laid down on my bed, and my sense of self was dissolving, sending my brain into panic mode. Similar to the beginning of n drug induced EGO death. My mind was deepfried, struggling to form any coherent thought, while a rush of emotions came on, fear sadness surprise etc. Slept it off, but it was hard. Like trying to sleep on a bad fever. Waking up occasionally throughout the night, with incoherent thoughts calling me to act. Like there was something I needed to do or pay attention to. Conclusions: There was a lot of stuff stored in there. Targeting this area on HIGH triggered an intense rush that overwhelmed me. Completely different from MEDIUM intensity. Is it unsafe at this intensity ?

Hey, well I want first and foremost thank you and welcome you to the world of Ultrasound, which certainly is is different in some ways from. Probably a lot of the stuff that people are familiar with. I would say that yeah if you’re talking about the base level US 2000 pro on high that is just generally gonna be a lot of power and sort of I personally think unnecessary on especially on the head or most areas that’s what you call continuous wave Ultrasound. 100% on and not pulsed. That’s why like something like medium is a pulse frequency most likely there are obviously ways to still get like a higher intensity, but still make it post we found like a 75% pulse but from the same device can be really still really effective, but obviously not kind of push you over the edge on high. But generally answer your question so only 50% of the Ultrasound that you put on the head can get through your skull so first and foremost, the intensity even at high with your school in the way, your not gonna be able to do damage unless you don’t have any feeling on your skin it’s complicated but basically no you definitely didn’t damage yourself. You probably more likely caused some of the neurons in that region to allow some of these kind of weird feelings to bubble the surface. Like you, you disinhibited the inhibiting neurons that were there kind of holding back the tides of weirdness so… But yeah, I would say for now just stick to like the medium intensity which is 50% or consider upgrading your Ultrasound to be able to control that kind of stuff like with the pulse module which would allow you to like have more fine-tune control of that stuff. Ultradao.to/device I have a so yeah that would be my recommendation but I think you’re gonna you’re gonna be fine. Anyway how are you feeling now? It’s been a little bit since this experience. What’s your update?
Hey Vagus Nerve Stimulation COACHES — this one's for you!
You love the coaching. Helping someone take a step forward. Seeing the work start to click. Then there's the business side... Intake forms in one place. Payments in another. Classroom links scattered around. Email automations everywhere. Client notes in a spreadsheet. And somehow you're the person keeping the whole thing stitched together. Not exactly the fun part, is it? Inside Ultra Skool, we've been cooking up something for that: UltraCoach Dash. We're a community of coaches with decades of combined coaching experience, and we're putting that practical perspective into software for the work around your coaching sessions. Here's what Dash brings together: • CLIENTS — keep notes, calls, and form responses with the person they belong to. • CALLS — see coaching sessions and sales calls on one timeline. • FORMS — publish intake and check-in forms, with responses attached to the right client. • PAYMENTS — connect your own Stripe and track who's paying. Your clients pay you directly. The idea is simple: spend less energy hunting for the right information and give yourself more room to focus on people. I'm seriously excited for you to try this. Take a look at the software: https://ultracoachdash.com/ Dash access comes with Ultra Skool membership. That's our coaching community, where we bring together business skills, practical tools, and people building their practices alongside you. See what's inside and join us here: https://www.skool.com/ultra/about Once you're in, start small: one sample client, one note, one clear next step. Build from there. Your own Stripe and optional AI services have their own charges. Whether you're already coaching or getting your practice off the ground, come build something you're proud of—and have a good time doing it. Coaches: which part of the admin would you most like to simplify first? —Sterling

Hey Vagus Nerve Stimulation COACHES — this one's for you!
🚨 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.

@Todd Zimmerman aw thanks yeah I think the industry of drugs has been. Obviously, there are some good but they’re definitely is a lot of corruption.

@Jerad Mack you’re gonna get way more life out of the US 2000 pro but the US 1000 is only $54 and it’s a good thing to start with if you’re unsure about Ultrasound I guess I don’t know flip a coin and get one they’re both really good. They’re both gonna get the job done for sure.
Module 3 placement question
Hi, I’m trying to reconcile Module 3’s neck placement with the device manuals. The US-1000 manual says: “DO NOT use over the carotid sinus nerves, arteries, laryngeal or pharyngeal muscles.” The US Pro 2000 manual says: “DO NOT use over the carotid sinus nerves or arteries, laryngeal or pharyngeal muscles.” Since the cervical vagus runs beside the carotid artery, how does the recommended placement avoid those structures?

@Ranch Helper You got it, it's an over-abundance of caution.

As Ranch pointed out it's an over-abundance of caution, think about it, if you have an Ultrasound, and you place it over that region, you are stimulating the Vagus Nerve. But if you don't understand what the Vagus Nerve is or does when it's stimulated, you feel stimulated "for some reason" - of course you would say "shouldn't do that." That's essentially what it is. Additionally, Ultrasound carotid imaging is a well understood thing that is done all the time. So you're good :D
Device
Hi there, I was pointed to this group by a practitioner and am interested in addressing trauma/ptsd. Where do I find out about purchasing an affordable ultrasound device? I don’t seem to see a particular device recommendation? Does anyone have positive experience with above issues? Thanks!

Hey, yes, the US-1000 typically from TensPros is a phenomenal place to start, that's covered in the #1 pinned post and #2 pinned post is links on guides on how to effectively use it. Sitting at just around $54 it's kinda a steal ! I think also if you checkout vagushub.com/testimonials - all of those are from people doing Ultrasound VNS.
