In this episode of the Younger Than Yesterday podcast, Ian Clark sits down with biomedical engineer and neurotechnology entrepreneur Jon Hacker, founder and CEO of NeurGear and creator of ZenBud, to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of modern health: nervous system regulation.

Together, they discuss the growing impact of chronic stress on the human body, the role of the vagus nerve in recovery and resilience, and why so many people today feel trapped in a constant state of fight-or-flight. Jon shares the science behind ultrasound vagus nerve stimulation, the development of ZenBud’s non-invasive wearable technology, and why nervous system flexibility may be one of the most important foundations for long-term health, mental clarity, and recovery.

Topics include stress physiology, parasympathetic activation, vagus nerve health, HRV, sleep quality, anxiety, recovery, neurotechnology, and the future of nervous system optimization.
