Why your nervous system — not your willpower — is the key to healing stress, burnout, and sleep struggles.

This week, I’m joined by Povilas Sabaliauskas, CEO and co-founder of Pulsetto (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), to talk about how regulating the vagus nerve can change the way we respond to stress, burnout, and even sleep struggles.

We explore how Povilas’ journey led to creating Pulsetto, a vagus nerve device that resets the body in minutes. We also unpack neuromodulation, the differences between stress, anxiety, and burnout, and how HRV tracking reveals your nervous system health.

This is a must-listen for anyone juggling the demands of modern life, especially parents and women navigating constant stressors.

WE TALK ABOUT:

11:00 – How personal loss led Povilas to explore neuromodulation and nervous system health

18:00 – What vagus nerve stimulation is and why it matters for stress and relaxation

21:00 – The hidden addiction to adrenaline and overstimulation

24:30 – Social media, dopamine, and the junk food of the brain

33:45 – How Pulsetto impacts HRV and sleep quality

43:15 – How Pulsetto compares to other neuromodulation devices
