A quick trip to NYC and somehow we ended up with a ZenBud flag on the Empire State Building.

Not exactly what we planned for the day, but we’re not complaining.

79% Anxiety Remission in Just 4 Weeks Using Ultrasound on the Vagus Nerve (Pilot Study)
We just published our latest study in JMIR Neurotechnology, and the results are exciting:
Using low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to stimulate the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, we achieved a 79% anxiety remission rate in just 4 weeks using a simple wearable device called ZenBud.
Here’s what you need to know 👇
🔗 Full Study:
🧾 https://doi.org/10.2196/69770
🧪 How the Study Worked:
✅ 28 people with moderate to severe anxiety
✅ Used ZenBud LIFU headset at home
✅ 5 minutes a day, for 4 weeks
✅ No restrictions on time or activity
✅ Measured: anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep
📊 Results:
• Anxiety: 79% remission
• Depression: clinically meaningful reduction in 71%
• PTSD: similar gains
• Sleep: significantly improved
👉 All with strong statistical backing
🛡️ Safety & Usability:
• Only 1 mild side effect (brief jitteriness)
• 89% said the headset was easy to use
• 79% felt their quality of life improved
👏 Easy, safe, and impactful
🧬 How It Works:
The vagus nerve plays a big role in calming the nervous system.
LIFU may boost "vagal tone" to help quiet anxiety.
We also saw heart rate variability (HRV) jump 10–27 points.
Next step: more studies with imaging (like fMRI) and biomarkers.
⚠️ Important Limitations:
🔸 Small group (28 people)
🔸 No placebo/control group
🔸 Study lasted just 4 weeks
We’re working toward larger trials and longer-term data.

🧠 Mindfulness isn’t just a trend - it’s a science-backed tool that can strengthen your mental health.

When you’re fully present, your brain gets the chance to reset and regulate.

If you’re always on edge, it’s not just in your head.
Your nervous system might be stuck in overdrive.
It’s time to reset, naturally.
