ADHD & Me: how I got my focus back

I started cleaning my kitchen this morning, and by dinner time I’d watered the plants, put half of my clothes away, hoovered the kids' bedroom, and painted that windowsill. It wasn’t until I settled down to prep for tomorrow’s meeting that I realized that the kitchen was still a mess: dishes still in the sink, laundry still in the machine and the pan from breakfast still sitting on the hob. Sound familiar? Welcome to life with ADHD.

Can’t stay on task, can’t focus, can’t sit still. It’s exhausting and I’m constantly feeling overwhelmed. Thankfully, I’ve found a way to get my calm back: Pulsetto’s vagus nerve stimulator. Find out more at https://pulsetto.tech/meet-pulsetto     

Seeking ADHD relief? Find the vagus nerve!

So if you’re anything like me, life is just stressful on the daily. It can be hard to find something which actually makes a difference and makes completing a task with ADHD achievable: 

• Massage is great. Total stress relief that can last maybe an hour or so on a good day. But who feels like getting up and working right after a massage? 
• Exercise is another one. Fantastic way to find my focus as I hike up the hills with my dog. But not easy to replicate in an office setting five minutes before the big meeting.
• Singing along to my favorite songs. Ok maybe it’s just me, but this one really does help me focus. But I lost count of the number of times I got pulled up in class for humming too loud. Apparently, not everyone appreciates my stunning vocal talents!

Do you know what all of these calming techniques have in common (yes, even the singing)? They all stimulate the vagus nerve, which is responsible for regulating the body’s internal organs, heart rate and immune system. It’s super long, running throughout your body, up your neck (past the vocal chords - so hum away!) and directly to your brain.

What does the science say?

Unsurprisingly, the sensory processing dysfunction associated with ADHD – that inattention, excessive movement and impulsivity we’re all so familiar with – has been the focus of numerous scientific studies over the past decade. But don’t think this is all about another drug. The most recent research has shown that those who received targeted electrical impulses to their brain via the nervous system experienced a heightened state of calm, which allowed them to reclaim their focus.

I know – electric shock to the brain doesn’t exactly sound fun, does it? But that’s not what we're talking about here! Remember the vagus nerve?

The apparent lack of affordable, drug-free treatments available prompted the tech-savvy inventors at Pulsetto to develop their fabulous wearable vagus nerve stimulator. Talk about restoring calm!

Pulsetto: help for ADHD at home!

This wellness device uses low-level electrical pulses to help calm the body’s nervous system by directly stimulating the vagus nerve. Pulsetto took all that clinical research into electrical stimulation and how it can help regulate both heart rate and breathing rate, helping people to achieve a state of calm and turned it into a compact, non-invasive, pain-free vagus nerve stimulator device that can be worn at home. 

And not just at home: it’s discreet enough to be worn in class or at the office!

Pulsetto is FCC-certified, based on the latest scientific research and it has given me back my ability to focus with just using it for a few minutes each day. See for yourself if Pulsetto can help you reclaim your calm at https://pulsetto.tech/science
