FEATURED ON ESPN FILMS:THE PHD WHO BUILT A POCKET DEVICE FOR HIGH PERFORMERS' STRESS
How a golfer's performance anxiety turned into the Hoolest Mini, the pocket device 60,000+ people use to feel calm on demand.
By Nick Hool, PhD, founder of Hoolest
I have a PhD in biomedical engineering. My work on high-dose vagus nerve stimulation was featured on ESPN Films, because I built one thing that helps high-performing people calm stress fast. But I didn't start in a lab. I started on a golf course.

I WANTED TO BE A PROFESSIONAL GOLFER.PERFORMANCE ANXIETY ENDED THAT DREAM.
Whenever I played under pressure, my heart was in my throat. I couldn't breathe. My vision went blurry.
So I spent eight years studying biomedical engineering to learn how to calm my own nervous system. That's where I found the vagus nerve.

FAQ
The Hoolest Mini sends gentle stimulation along the vagus nerve through two pre-gelled tips. It helps calm and ease everyday stress, with calm in as little as 30 seconds.
Rest the gel tips just below your earlobe, behind the jaw, on the side of your neck.
Start with about 30 seconds on one side: take three deep, slow breaths, then remove it. If you feel OK, perfect. If not, move it to the other side for another three full breaths. For the deepest, longest-lasting effects, do three full breath cycles on each side of your neck, twice. That's about 2 minutes total.
No app, and no required subscription or membership. The only ongoing cost is replacement gel tips. Buy them when you need them, or choose an optional refill plan that ships on a schedule.
They're the two small pre-gelled pads on the end of the Mini that touch your skin. They're made from cosmetic-grade hydrogel with no alcohol or synthetic fragrance, tested to ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards. Just remove the cap and press. There's no gel paste to spread, no water and no cleanup. Your Mini comes with 1 pack (2 pairs).
It depends on how often you use it. A few times a week as needed, one pair lasts about a month. Once or twice a day on the full routine, about two weeks. Several times a day, about 7 days. Like a razor, they get dull with use, so swap in a fresh pair to keep the Mini working at full strength.
Gel tips are about $4 a pair. That works out to roughly 20 to 50 cents a day, depending on how often you use it.
