Where we began
From Panic to Purpose
As a once emerging collegiate golf prospect, committed to one of the top golf programs in the country, Nick Hool faced debilitating performance anxiety that traditional methods couldn’t resolve. His dreams of a professional golf career stalled under overwhelming pressure, driving him to seek genuine, lasting solutions. Determined to find relief, Nick pursued a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, merging rigorous science with his personal experience to create Hoolest’s revolutionary pocket-sized vagus nerve stimulators.
From day one, Nick’s mission was clear: provide high-achieving individuals with instant calm, free from drugs or complicated techniques. His journey is deeply personal, guided by faith and a commitment to integrity, aiming to see others genuinely excel using the technology he and his team develop.
At Hoolest, every product we create is designed with real people in mind—helping them overcome panic, reclaim their lives and thrive. It’s proof of what's possible when genuine compassion meets innovative science.

From Chronic Struggle to Calmer Days: Sarah's Life-Changing Journey @aussie_detox_mom
"I struggled with severe anxiety and sleepless nights. With VeRelief, I finally found restful sleep again—my energy, joy, and connection to family are back."
Challenge:
For years, since childhood, Sarah battled debilitating health issues. Despite spending tens of thousands on supplements, her nervous system felt constantly "rewired" by past trauma, leading to a persistent stress state where even sleep didn't bring healing. Simple joys felt overwhelming, her gut was in turmoil, and basic well-being seemed out of reach. "My body felt like it was on fire," she recalls, "and I was desperate to put the flames out."
Turning Point:
Skeptical after many an non successful attempts with other solutions, Sarah discovered the VeRelief Prime by Hoolest. She began using the device on her vagus nerve for just a few minutes each day, noticing changes within the first week.
Transformation:
"This device has COMPLETELY changed my life!" Sarah exclaims. Within five months, the VeRelief became "the most phenomenal thing I've ever used." Her gut health improved significantly, her nails started growing stronger (a sign of better nutrient absorption), and the daily "roller coaster" of nervous system symptoms finally calmed. "I will never be without it," she shares. "My body is now in a state where it's healing, and I'm not as scared about my future as I used to be."
A Veteran's Story of Reclaiming Peace: Aramado
My VeRelief Pro is BY FAR the BEST at relieving my symptoms the fastest... I very strongly recommend the VeRelief Pro to anyone needing help with anxiety, panic attacks, or PTSD.
Challenge:
As a combat veteran diagnosed with PTSD, Armando had tried numerous devices to manage the crushing anxiety and panic attacks that were a constant part of his life. While some offered a degree of help, none provided the rapid, profound relief he desperately needed.
Turning Point:
Discovering the VeRelief Pro marked a significant shift. "It's BY FAR the BEST at relieving my symptoms the fastest," Armando states. He found it easy to incorporate into his routine, using it hands-free while listening to music.
Transformation:
With VeRelief Pro, Armando experienced anxiety "[melting] away." The ability to quickly find a tolerable level of stimulation and simply relax has been a game-changer. He now strongly recommends the device to anyone struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, or PTSD, calling it a true "off switch for your nervous system."

Transformation:
"I’m smiling and talking again," she shares, "my brain fog has lifted and I’m getting my life back." The device became a pivotal tool in her recovery, helping to regulate her emotions and allowing her to re-engage with the world. Ruth's story is a powerful testament to finding relief.
