In early 2023, Karen read a comment on a menopause support forum that made her pause:
“This little wearable has been a total game-changer… I feel myself drift into a calmer state within minutes. No pills, no hormones — just gentle pulses that tell my body it’s safe to relax.”
The device she was talking about? A pocket-sized invention called the VacPod.
It works on an old-but-new principle: microcurrent calming therapy — a gentle, barely-there pulse that helps “switch off” your fight-or-flight response.
This isn’t a new fad. Doctors have been using larger, clinic-based devices like Alpha-Stim (FDA-cleared for anxiety and insomnia) for decades. But the VacPod shrinks the technology into a portable, affordable form you can use at home or on the go.
