Description

When rocket scientist Mark Fox started experiencing debilitating anxiety around blood pressure measurements that haunted him for 40 years, he never imagined he'd become a pioneer in nervous system healing technology. In this groundbreaking conversation with Dr. Pedram Shojai, Mark reveals how his skepticism transformed into innovation as he developed the Vaguvibe - a pendant that increases heart rate variability by up to 50% in just 30 minutes.

From teachers reporting dramatic improvements in students' attention without medication changes to trauma survivors finding peace after decades of suffering, this episode exposes why Big Pharma has zero interest in cheap solutions that actually work. Mark shares the latest third-party lab data proving that vagus nerve stimulation isn't just alternative medicine - it's the future of healthcare that puts healing power back in patients' hands for less than the cost of a monthly prescription.
