Nathan's Full Story

Hi, my name is Nathan Janysek. I actually am a user of Nuropod, the basically vagus nerve stimulation. Just wanted to send a testimonial, and by the way, even if it wasn't part of a study, I still would have sent a testimonial because this device really works. I talked to everybody I know about it. I've talked to my psychiatrist, my psychologist who helps out with my anxiety. So it's been tremendous. Not only that, not just anxiety, but I feel like I can focus better. I have— I'm way more productive. And also even small things like I'm not, you know, anxious or feeling I have to go grab something to eat all the time. So it's actually helping with my weight loss. And I'm down quite a bit as well.

So, I don't know exactly how it works. I really don't care at this point because the days I use it are the days that go very well in the morning. And I just, and when I don't use it, you know, I've got busy or travel's crazy and I just don't have time to take it out and use it. I do notice a difference. So I'm definitely going to continue using it. I do recommend the Nuropod. Look into it, you know, talk to your healthcare provider, see if it's right for you. And but let me tell you, I tried it. I let all my healthcare providers know, and I'm also letting them know the results of this as well. It's just, it's just incredible.

I use this thing on flights. If I get anxiety for flying, I have— I get a middle seat, or if I have windows seat or a bulkhead, I get anxious. I feel like I'm trapped and there's a lot of people around, you know, in an airplane you're kind of all crammed in together. My anxiety level comes up, but I've noticed when I put on the Nuropod, keep it on and, you know, for about maybe 30 minutes, maybe an hour, but it kind of helps kind of calm me and bring me back to just a calm place, just to focus. And if I can't work on a plane, if I can't just, you know, try to distract myself otherwise, the Nuropod has been very helpful in that.

The other thing I use it for— so I'm actually going through EMDR treatment right now. It's basically eye movement desensitization reprocessing. It's for early trauma, trauma that I've had in the military, trauma I've had in childhood. I used it for I use it as I'm after the session, as I'm processing some of these, and as, as those thoughts kind of come back up and to my, to my mind and I'm thinking through these, I do put on the Nuropod and that kind of helps keep me at a better steady state and let me not get too far, um, um, I guess from an anxiety level. Um, and of course, you know, the EMDR, uh, part of my treatment and for my anxiety has gotten so much better.

I am a different person, definitely, with this neuropath. People at work have noticed. I've had somebody, a good friend of mine who's now in leadership at my firm, basically said, this is definitely not the Nathan I knew 2 or 3 years ago. This is a very much You know, improved Nathan. So I give a lot of credit to the Nuropod, to my treatment providers, and I think it's all kind of part of that system trying to get myself better. So I do recommend the Nuropod. Check into it, make sure it's right for you. If you do have, if you do have any kind of anxiety, any past trauma, PTSD, I do, I really do recommend this. It'll help. Thank you.
