Gut function and daily comfort

Stressed digestion can show up as bloating, irregular motility, or discomfort after meals. Vagus-based stimulation supports autonomic balance to help your gut respond more calmly to daily challenges.

You may notice these digestion-related signals:

Abdominal rumbling under stress
Post-meal bloating after meals
Discomfort from irregular motility
Occasional constipation or loose stools
Cramping with stress
Gas and indigestion

How gut–brain signals respond to VNS

Gut–brain link strength

The vagus nerve connects gut signals to brain regions that regulate gut motility and inflammation, enabling rapid autonomic adjustments to digestion.

Vagal tone to digestion

A robust vagal tone supports coordinated gut movements and reduces post-meal distress when the autonomic system shifts toward rest-and-digest.

Trainable gut signaling

Regular brief stimulation strengthens the gut–brain communication loop, helping digestion respond more smoothly to daily challenges.

Non-invasive delivery

Pulsetto uses external neck electrodes to modulate vagal pathways without surgery, offering a convenient option for daily use.
