Find your focus as NuCalm brings you into a meditative state where diaphragmatic breathing takes over.

NuCalm brings the brain and body into parasympathetic nervous system dominance within minutes of application. This state, the anabolic state, is the only time the body is able to rebuild and regenerate. It is also characterized by maximum diaphragmatic breathing at 6-7 respirations per minute. This type of breathing allows for maximum diffusion of oxygen into the circulatory system thus increasing the amount of oxygenated red blood cells getting delivered to vital organs such as the brain. Studies have shown that this type of breathing may improve cognitive performance, decrease negative affect and consequences of stress. The frontal cortex governs cognitive function – thoughts, ability to reason, and information processing, thereby greater blood flow and perfusion of blood gases in this region may encourage recruitment of more communication pathways to enhance mental focus and clarity. The NuCalm technology also shuts out distractions and relieves stress, allowing athletes to focus and properly prepare for athletic success.

NuCalm will help your blood flow, sending more oxygen to your muscles as they recover.

When athletes exert themselves in workouts or competitive events, lactic acid builds up in the active muscle groups. NuCalm suspends the body in a deeply relaxed state (parasympathetic nervous system dominance), resulting in the flow of oxygenated red blood cells throughout the entire body. The oxygenated red blood cells flush out the lactic acid in areas of physical tension. This significantly aids in muscle recovery post-exertion and prepares muscles for better performance.

NuCalm allows you to move on from that loss by separating the negative emotion from that memory.

According to many champions, the most difficult aspect of competition is “moving on” from a loss or bad event. This challenge actually originates in the limbic system of the brain, which is the system responsible for emotion, memory, and arousal. This system indicates the strong relationship between emotions and memory formation. The amygdala, a component of this system, processes all memories of shame, embarrassment, trauma, etc. as it learns how to keep the body safe and comfortable. When an athlete “fails to achieve the desired outcome” this negative experience gets logged in the hippocampus, the memory storage component of the limbic system. Stress plays a large role in formulating and storing these strong negative emotions, and make it difficult to shake them. As NuCalm helps relieve stress, it can help overcome the negative emotional responses and thus intervene with their storage. The athlete typically leaves the NuCalm session with an objective perspective on the “failure” and not stuck with the emotional connection (shame, embarrassment, frustration, excuses, etc.). This is extremely beneficial to “moving on” and focusing on improving.

Get your GABA on with NuCalm, to help inhibit activity in the brain and prepare it for a restful night’s sleep.

The NuCalm Biosignal Processing Disc grooms the brain’s gabaergic system for better sleep performance. The GABAergic system is responsible for slowing down or inhibiting neuron activity and preparing the body for sleep. You can think of it as the body’s relaxation system. GABA (GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID) is the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter, or chemical messenger, in the brain. It works in combination with serotonin and melatonin to transition the brain and body from an aroused state to a relaxed state, readying the body for sleep. The NuCalm Disc provides the body with a pure biosignal of GABA, in the form of electromagnetic frequencies, which gets transmitted to the pericardium of the heart to activate GABA receptors in the local nerve fibers that then relay the message to the brain. NuCalm thus primes the GABAergic system, responsible for slowing down internal systems and preparing the body for sleep. Research proves restorative sleep is essential to consolidating muscle memory into the sensory-motor strip. Without restorative sleep, any new muscle movement you practiced that day will not be integrated into muscle memory. Research at Harvard Medical School shows a 45-minute treatment of NuCalm may be giving you the benefits equivalent to more than two hours of deep restorative sleep.

Dream Big! The NuCalm tech will allow you to linger in that alpha-theta state where dreaming occurs.

The NuCalm Biosignal Processing Disc does an amazing job of cleansing the GABAergic system and grooming the body for enhanced sleep quality. The alpha-theta crossover state induced by NuCalm is likely to cause lucid imagery or biographical memories, and most regular users of NuCalm report an increase in dream activity and dream intensity. Additionally, the theta brainwave threshold is the optimal range for creativity, visualization and mind programming. Some NuCalm users are often left inspired after spending time in this state of transcendence.
