About This Site
VagusNerveTone.com exists because the vagus nerve topic got hijacked by hype. Search it and you drown in miracle claims and gadget ads, with the one thing that actually works, free slow breathing, buried under all of it. This site puts the free, evidence-backed methods first and treats devices the way they deserve: as an optional, thinly proven experiment, not a cure.
The rule here is simple. Free methods with strong evidence come first. Devices come second, one click away, and get rated on honesty, not commission. When the science is weak, we say so. When a company's "clinically proven" claim does not hold up, we call it out. You get the same information whether or not you ever buy anything.
Who runs it
This site is run by Tyson Gaylord, part of a small group of independent, evidence-first health and recovery sites. The goal across all of them is the same: plain-English guidance that respects your time and your wallet, and does not pretend a gadget is medicine.

How we handle money
When we recommend a device and a company runs an affiliate program, our links may earn a commission at no cost to you. That never changes a ranking or a verdict. Our cheapest and free recommendations pay us the least, and we lead with them anyway. The details are on the affiliate disclosure page.
