Do you know what’s linked to the six leading causes of death in America? Hint: It’s not cell phones, meat, or watching too much TV.

It’s stress. According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is a silent killer that’s connected to all the leading causes of death but never is actually listed as the primary cause. Over 75% of all physician office visits are for stress-related ailments and complaints. Nuts, right?

The impact of stress on global health is unquestionable, but the true scope of the problem lies in the individual. Each one of us is equipped with a sympathetic nervous system (the fight-or-flight response), which releases stress hormones like cortisol, makes our breathing shallow and fast, and sends our heart rates up and heart rate variability (HRV) down when over-activated. When that response is engaged regularly, your body and mind are signaling to each other that you’re under threat, making things like sleeping, relaxing, or focusing on work practically impossible. If only you could exchange that agitated nervous system for a new one that knows how to take a chill pill, and become a more calm, collected, and productive version of yourself. 

The Apollo wearable may be the next best thing. Developed by physicians and neuroscientists, it’s a wearable device that works to improve your body’s resilience to stress. Through touch therapy, Apollo claims to trains your body to go from “fight-or-flight” (sympathetic nervous response) to “rest and digest” (parasympathetic nervous response). Over time, your body learns to recover from stress more quickly, so you can relax, sleep, focus, and feel better. 

Typical health trackers monitor your biometrics and leave you with the task of making lifestyle changes. The Apollo wearable, on the other hand, actively works to improve your health. Apollo’s silent, soothing waves of vibration rebalance your nervous system, telling your body that you’re safe and in control. The sensation is similar to a hug from a friend when you need it the most. This touch therapy has been found to promote a change in heart rate variability, which brings wearers into a calmer state.

According to the brand, the more you wear it, the better it works. The Apollo wearable works to retrain your nervous system to manage stress better on your own. And the brand claims that over time, you’ll notice an improvement in your focus, sleep, and mood. You’ve had these abilities all along — Apollo just helps you tap into them.

The device can be worn on the wrist or ankle and managed directly in the Apollo Neuro app, where you can actually choose from different modes to help you transition throughout your day. Enhance productivity and tap into deep focus with Clear and Focused mode. Melt away stress and drift off with Sleep and Renew mode, which has been shown to help users fall asleep more quickly and get higher quality sleep. Go from charged to chilled at the end of the day with Relax and Unwind mode. 

And the best part is there are no negative side effects. It’s completely safe — even kids can use it, which can help them unlock their body’s stress-fighting super power early on in life.

For a limited time, you can try out the Apollo wearable’s stress-relieving abilities for yourself for 10% off its usual cost of $349.
