Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

This medical treatment involves delivering electrical impulses to a major cranial nerve that plays a key role in regulating various involuntary bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and mood. It is typically achieved using an implanted device similar to a pacemaker, although non-invasive methods stimulating branches of the nerve through the skin are also being explored. Approved primarily for treating certain types of epilepsy and treatment-­resistant depression, it aims to modulate brain activity and improve symptoms by influencing nerve signaling.

Psilocybin Mushrooms

Psilocybin mushrooms are magic mushrooms. It works mainly on the HT2A serotonin receptors in the nervous system, but also works on other receptors and seems to work systemically to reduce inflammation, modulate the immune system, improve mitochondrial function, stimulate neurogenesis, increase neuroplast­icity, and so much more. It is incredibly safe (especially microdosing), though there are risks and any side effects are limited to the dosing period.

Carnitine Supplements

Carnitine supplements contain L-carnitine, a compound that plays a critical role in energy production by transporting fatty acids into mitochondria where they can be burned for fuel. These supplements are available in several forms including L-carnitine, acetyl-L-c­arnitine, and propionyl-­L-carnitin­e.

CoQ10

This naturally occurring, vitamin-like compound is present in almost every cell and is crucial for generating energy within the mitochondria, while also acting as a potent antioxidant. Its highest concentrations are found in organs with high energy demands like the heart and liver, though the body's production tends to decrease with age. While obtainable in small amounts from dietary sources like meat and fish, it is often taken as a supplement to support cellular energy and potentially benefit conditions related to heart health or aging.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

This amino acid derivative plays a critical role in energy metabolism, specifically in transporting fatty acids into mitochondria to be converted into energy. It is involved in numerous body processes and supports the function of nerve cells within the central nervous system. Produced naturally in the brain, liver, and kidneys, it's often studied for its potential role in relieving fatigue and supporting neurological health.
