In this short promotional video, Ben Greenfield highlights the stressors associated with travel—flight delays, unfamiliar accommodations, and constant transportation hassles—and introduces TruVaga, a handheld device that purportedly stimulates the vagus nerve. He explains that placing the device on either side of the neck near the carotid artery for about two minutes can quickly shift the autonomic balance toward parasympathetic dominance, producing a calm, relaxed state suitable for napping, sleeping, or simply lowering heart rate. Greenfield positions TruVaga as a science‑backed alternative to alcohol for managing travel‑related anxiety, urging viewers to check out the product.

Let's face it, travel is stressful. Flight delays, sleeping in weird hotel rooms, all the Ubers and the taxis and the trains and the planes and the automobiles. That's where this fits in. True Vega. This stimulates the vagus nerve, which modulates your parasympathetic and sympathetic balance. So let's say you are stressed out during travel, you need to calm your nervous system down for a nap or a sleep, or just to freaking get your heart rate down and get your mind to settle. You hold this up for just 2 minutes on either side the neck right near the carotid, right where your vagus nerve travels down, and it slips you into this calm, relaxed state nearly instantly. It's called a TruVaga. A little bit of better living through science, way better than having a couple glasses of wine or a beer down at the airport shop. So, check it out, TruVaga.
