Calm your nervous system, wherever you are.
If your heart races before meetings, your shoulders stay tight all day, or stress lingers long after the stressful thing is over, your nervous system may be stuck in fight-or-flight. Breathing and meditation apps help — but they take time and practice. That’s the gap Hoolest Mini is built for.
Built by a biomedical engineer. Dr. Nicholas Hool earned a PhD at ASU studying anxiety in the body, then spent over $700,000 on safety and clinical testing — to solve his own performance anxiety.

Reason 1: It Goes Straight To The Nerve — No Breathing Drills
Targeted, high-dose stimulation to the vagus nerve, just below your earlobe. Use it mid-spiral, before a presentation, or in the car after a hard call.
“…when out in public and you are not able to ‘close your eyes and do your breathing exercises’… you can just whip this puppy out and continue to be at the table”
— Kerry · Apr 2023 · Review for VeRelief Mini (2023 model)
Reason 2: Drug-Free — No Prescription, No Fog
For people who don’t want the grogginess or dependency of medication, that’s the point. As one physician put it: “The medications do not get you out of fight-or-flight. They just mask it.”
Hoolest Mini is not a medication or a substitute for one. Never start or stop prescribed treatment without your doctor. Not FDA-cleared; not intended to treat any condition.
Reason 3: Same High-Dose Gel Tips As VeRelief Prime
Mini uses the same patented High Dose Gel Tips as VeRelief Prime, in a body about half the size. Adjustable strength — start low, turn it up to comfort.
From Hoolest’s small placebo-controlled studies of VeRelief, which uses the same High Dose Gel Tips. Individual results vary.
“This little device is quite effective at raising my HRV according to my wearable. I use it throughout the day”
— Samuel S. · Jun 2023 · Review for VeRelief Mini (2023 model)
Reason 4: No App, No Setup — Fits On Your Keychain
Many competing devices depend on a glitchy phone app. Hoolest Mini just turns on and works. It’s the size of a key fob — use it at your desk, in the car, or in a hallway before something stressful.
“I’ve been using the mini daily since I got it, I take it with me everywhere… It has significantly lowered my anxiety during the day”
— Gloria G. · Mar 2023 · Review for VeRelief Mini (2023 model)
Reason 5: Built By An Engineer Who Lived In Fight-Or-Flight
Dr. Nicholas Hool lost his dream of playing professional golf to panic. He earned a PhD in biomedical engineering and built these gel tips to calm the nervous system in high-stress moments.
Reason 6: A Fraction Of The “Premium” Devices — Risk-Free
Comparable clinical-grade devices run $325 to $700. Hoolest Mini starts at $99, ships with High Dose Gel Tips, and is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
