Bryan Johnson explains how a low-cost ear device stimulates the vagus nerve to keep your nervous system calm. He argues constant calm is crucial because it triggers hormonal cascades that slow aging. He uses it 60 minutes daily, though his broader Blueprint project costs millions.

Yes, it is true. I have been spending millions of dollars on Project Blueprint and there's many things you can do at your house that are low cost. This is an HRV device, so heart rate variability. This particular device is made by Parasym. But there's a lot of people who make devices and the way this works is there's Teletrode. It goes on the trigus, so not the earlobe, this inner part of the ear right here on the left side. And then I turn it on and it begins electrically stimulating the vagus nerve. Now the reason why I do is trying to maintain myself in a calm and stable state at all times is really helpful for the body. It triggers all kinds of hormones and advanced aging biological processes. And so this therapy strengthens my parasynthetic nervous system which is the one that's responsible for keeping me low key. Chill and calm as you can either do this for 60 minutes in the morning or 60 minutes at night.
