Getting Started with Truvaga: Step-By-Step Guide
Now that you have your Truvaga, let’s walk through a few simple steps to help you complete your first successful vagus nerve stimulation.
1. How to Find Your Vagus Nerve
The most important key to success is knowing where your vagus nerve is! First, make sure nothing is obstructing your neck, such as jewelry or a tight turtleneck.
Now, it’s time to locate your vagus nerve, which is just 1.3 cm below the skin’s surface on the neck. The easiest way to know you’re in the right spot is to take two fingers and place them around the area of your neck where you feel your pulse. Your vagus nerve is right in that area.
Common Mistake: Thinking it’s further back on the neck than it actually is. If you’re under your ear or past it, you’ve gone too far.
2. How to Prepare for Your Truvaga Session
You’ve already completed the hardest part. Now, before placing your Truvaga device on your skin, it’s important to apply the correct conductive solution. Apply a pea-sized amount of the included gel directly onto the electrodes, or use a couple of sprays of the spray solution on the skin of your neck.
While the Truvaga 350 comes with gel and the Truvaga Plus comes with spray, you can use either solution with both devices.
Common Mistake: Not using enough conductive solution, resulting in a less effective stimulation session.
3. How to Start Your First Truvaga Session
It’s go-time! Once you’ve applied the conductive solution, place your Truvaga device on the spot of your neck you’ve already located, ensuring that both electrodes are in full contact with your skin, one electrode above the other, vertically.
Apply mild to moderate pressure. Now, here’s where the art and science of Truvaga converge: gradually dial up the device’s intensity until you experience a tingling sensation. It should be strong but comfortable.
A slight downward pull of the lip may also accompany this feeling, but not all users experience it. If neither of these sensations occurs, try repositioning the device until you find the sweet spot.
Note: Use the app for Truvaga Plus (which has an intensity scale of 1 to 10) or the increase intensity button on the Truvaga 350 itself (which has an intensity scale of 1 to 40).
4. Stimulation Complete!
Once you hear your Truvaga device beep twice, the 2-minute session has ended. Be sure to clean the conductive solution off your neck and the device’s casing and electrodes. We recommend a soft, dry cloth (avoid using soap or any other cleaning product, as it can damage the device). Finally, replace the cap(s). Your Truvaga is now ready for your next session.
Pro Tip: If you have Truvaga Plus, you can schedule your sessions so you remember when to stimulate!

Truvaga Success Pro Tips
You didn’t do all the research and purchase Truvaga just for one session. You did it to have an effective stress reduction tool in the spirit of self-care. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you integrate your new handheld vagus nerve stimulator into your wellness routine.
Patience, Patience, Patience
For some, after their first session with Truvaga, it’s already second nature. But because many users take longer to reap the full rewards, give yourself 2–4 weeks of continued use to really experience the full impact of your device.
Get in a Groove
Think of your daily Truvaga regimen similar to brushing your teeth—once in the morning, once at night, and more if you need it (for those extra stressful days). Try storing your device beside your toothbrush as a convenient reminder. Strive to schedule your sessions at the same time every day, as consistency is critical to optimizing your Truvaga experience.
Dream Big. Right-Size Goals.
Never lose sight of why you decided to add a Truvaga vagus nerve stimulator to your self-care toolkit. Be sure to set goals that align with the benefits of the device—for example, achieving a healthy sleep schedule or managing workplace stress to earn that promotion. At the same time, pace yourself. Maybe your sleep goal begins with normalizing weekend rest.
The first step of the stress management goal might be simply refusing to let stress affect you outside of work hours. Write down your plan, revisit it often and track your progress.
Consider sharing this with your circle of family and friends to create more accountability. Slip-ups happen, but how you respond to missing a Truvaga session (or even a couple) is what really matters. And when you hit a streak of completing multiple sessions in a row, have a reward ready to reinforce your hard work.
The Truvaga Payoff
Feeling less anxious. Less stressed. Calmer. More energy. Improved Sleep. Happier.
These benefits and more can be the rewards for creating a consistent, effective Truvaga routine. And based on an independent, authoritative third-party study, the number of users experiencing these benefits is significant. Take, for example, feeling calmer — 94% of study respondents reported feeling calmer after 30 days of using Truvaga.*
If you’re someone who prefers real-life success stories vs. raw numbers, there are plenty of compelling reviews to pore over as well. Here are just a few:
