We recently wrote an article about Alpha Stim—a product that uses electrical stimulation to rid your muscles of pain, help you sleep better, and lessen anxiety.
After I wrote the article, an ad popped up on my feed for a product called the Dolphin Stim—a vagus nerve activator that promises to give you the effects of 8 hours of massages after 10-15 minutes of use. I decided to give it a try.
The Dolphin Stim works by clipping an ear clip to your left ear, putting a silicone pad on your belly, connecting the clip to the primary device and the silicone pad with wires, and then turning it on.
You then use the Dolphin Stim for your preferred amount of time and at your preferred level of intensity. I preferred the most intense level at 15 minutes.
After 10-15 minutes of use, you feel incredibly relaxed. For this reason, they recommend using it directly before going to bed so that you can pass out and get a night of great sleep without it interfering with your daytime activities.
Like it promises, the Dolphin Stim releases the endorphins you would feel after 8 hours of massages using it for 10-15 minutes, with the clip on the left ear. It is incredibly relaxing and seemed to help my anxiety, too, though my anxiety is considered “intractable,” as incurable without surgery. If it could help my anxiety a little, it is very likely it could help someone with moderate anxiety a lot. It helped with sleep, letting me get a good night’s rest after using it.
If you Google the effects of activating the vagus nerve, you will see that MANY benefits haven’t yet been proven in scientific studies, and some have. I can only claim so many benefits that I achieved using the Dolphin Stim for legal reasons, but I do HIGHLY recommend anyone with health needs to buy it. The Dolphin Stim, as far as I am aware, is the only actual device on the market for activating the vagus nerve. In all other cases I have seen, health coaches have advertised teaching holistic ways to activate it, such as exercises and meditation. The level of activation with the holistic exercises does not even come close to the effectiveness of the electrical stimulation on the ears by the Dolphin Stim.
The 15 minutes of electrical stimulation at the highest level of intensity ARE physically challenging to sit through, like being shocked repeatedly. Still, the Dolphin Stim lets you start at any level of intensity and build your way up. I simply decided to start at the highest level of intensity. After a couple of uses, I adjusted to the shocks.
The readers have been on a wellness journey with me for more than two years now, which started with weight loss for my whole body, Kybella for the chin, and slowly progressed to sleep wellness, infrared blankets, vitamins, and similar next-level wellness needs. The Dolphin Stim is an excellent investment in next-level wellness once you have addressed your basic health needs. Low cortisol levels, high endorphins, good sleep, hydration, and vitamins will transform your skin, hair, and body like nothing else, helping you remain youthful and beautiful inside and out. Dolphin Stim is a great step in this journey, ensuring your mind is relaxed and that you get a good amount of sleep every night.
We highly recommend the Dolphin Stim.
