HRV and Vagus Nerve {Pulsetto CEO}

Podcast cover

Healthful Pursuit Podcast

This podcast interviews Povilas, CEO and co-founder of Pulsetto, a company that produces a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator. The discussion covers the vagus nerve's role in regulating the nervous system (sympathetic vs. parasympathetic states), signs of dysregulation (low HRV, high resting heart rate), and how Pulsetto's device helps shift the body to a "rest and digest" state. Listeners learn about using HRV tracking to monitor nervous system health and practical techniques like breathing exercises and cold exposure to stimulate the vagus nerve naturally. The interview also highlights Pulsetto's device features and its positive impact on users experiencing conditions like cluster headaches and improved sleep quality. The CNSTAP app is mentioned as a tool to assess central nervous system function.
