What is the VaguVibe?
The VaguVibe is a 1.5 oz PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) pendant from Resona Health, worn on its chain over your chest, near the vagus nerve cluster by your heart. It does one job: gentle vagus nerve support for your body’s “rest and digest” system. In our study, one single 1-hour session raised heart rate variability by 32%. One button. No shocks, no buzzing, no gel, no app and no subscription.
It comes from the makers of the VIBE, used by more than 40,000 Resona Health customers. Rated “Excellent”, 4.7 out of 5, on Trustpilot.
What do people use the VaguVibe for?
The vagus nerve runs from your brain to nearly every major organ and governs “rest and digest”, the counterbalance to fight-or-flight. People wear the VaguVibe when they want to feel calmer and steadier through the day. The most common reasons:
- AnxiousnessFor feeling anxious, on edge or wound up.
- Everyday StressFor getting back to calm faster after a stressful stretch.
- Rest and DigestFor a settled stomach and the relaxed state your digestion runs best in.
- Better SleepFor winding down and a quieter mind at night.
- Heart Rate VariabilityFor people tracking HRV, a common marker of stress resilience.
- Steady EnergyFor fewer crashes and a steadier rhythm through the day.
How is the VaguVibe different from Pulsetto, Truvaga, Apollo and ice baths?
The VaguVibe doesn’t shock, buzz or freeze you. Popular vagus nerve devices like Pulsetto and Truvaga send an electrical current through the skin at your neck. You feel tingling or pulsing, you sit through timed sessions, and you need conductive gel or spray. Apollo-style wearables vibrate on your wrist or ankle. Ice baths and cold plunges mean freezing on purpose, every day. The VaguVibe uses gentle PEMF instead: no current through your skin, no vibration, no cold. Most people feel nothing at all. You just wear it.
| Device | Price | How it works | What you feel | Ongoing cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VaguVibe | $249 | Gentle PEMF, worn over the chest | Most people feel nothing | None |
| Pulsetto | from $278 | Electrical pulses at the neck | Tingling and pulsing during sessions | Conductive gel |
| Truvaga 350 | $299 | Electrical, handheld against the neck | Tingling and pulsing during sessions | Replaced after 350 sessions |
| Truvaga Plus | $499 | Electrical, handheld, rechargeable | Tingling and pulsing during sessions | Conductive spray |
| Apollo-style wearables | Varies | Vibration on the wrist or ankle | Vibration you can feel | Varies |
| Cold plunge | $150 to $5,000+ | Cold water immersion | Intense cold, every session | Ice or a chiller |

Is it the same as an implanted vagus nerve stimulator?
No. An implanted VNS device is a prescription medical device placed by a surgeon. The VaguVibe is a general wellness product you wear on its chain. No surgery, no prescription, and it is not a substitute for medical treatment.
What did the VaguVibe study find?
One single 1-hour session raised heart rate variability by 32%.
In a Resona Health study, 33 healthy adults (17 men and 16 women, ages 30 to 52) used the VaguVibe for a single 1-hour session while sitting comfortably. Heart rate variability was measured before and after with the BioTekna PPG Stress Flow system, and each person rated how they felt.
| After one single 1-hour session | Change |
|---|---|
| Heart rate variability (SDNN) | +32% |
| Heart rate variability (RMSSD) | +16% |
| Heart rate | -3.8% |
| Anxiety | -20% |
| Stress | -20% |
| Relaxation | +31% |
| Aches and pains | -28% |
| Energy | +11.5% |
| Sense of well-being | +10% |

VaguVibe or VIBE?
The VIBE is the pocket device with 60 programs for targeted sessions: you pick a program and run it. The VaguVibe does one thing continuously, daily vagus nerve support, with no menus. Many customers use both: the VIBE for specific sessions and the VaguVibe as the all-day companion. See the VIBE + VaguVibe Bundle.
Who made it?
Mark L Fox, former Space Shuttle Chief Engineer, has spent 24 years shrinking resonance frequency therapy from $30,000 clinic machines into devices people actually use. The VaguVibe takes the most requested job, daily nervous system support, and gives it one wearable. The intensity is deliberately low: a device comfortable enough to wear every day gets worn every day, and consistency is what your nervous system responds to.
How do you use the VaguVibe?
- Put it on. Wear the pendant on its chain so it rests over your chest, near your heart.
- Press the button. One button turns it on. There are no settings to choose.
- Go about your day. Most people run it for about 1 hour per session, the same session length our clinical study was based on. A full charge gives you 3.5 to 4 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Will I feel anything?
Most people feel nothing at all. The energy level is deliberately low. What people notice is how their days trend over weeks of wear.
How long is a VaguVibe session?
Most people run it for about 1 hour at a time. That is the session length our clinical study was based on. A full charge gives you 3.5 to 4 hours, so you can run more than one session a day. Charging takes about 1.5 hours. Daily use for 30 days is a fair trial.
How long until I notice something?
Some people notice a difference in the first few days; for others it builds over the weeks. Wear it daily for 30 days. If your days don’t feel different, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers you.
Do I need an app or a subscription?
No. No app, no gel, no membership and no unlock fees. You pay once.
Can I use it with the VIBE?
Yes. Many customers wear the VaguVibe all day and run VIBE programs for specific goals.
