What if you could put on a bracelet, no larger than a watch, and feel better? That's exactly what Apollo Neuro claims their moodaltering wearable neurotech can do. It seems too good to be true for a single vibrating device to decrease anxiety, protect you against depression, recover from stress, increase focus improve heart rate variability (HRV). So...is it? Let's find out! In this video, I dive into the research behind these claims and try a device for myself to see whether it's legit, a scam, or something in between.

Apollo Neuro had no control or signoff on this video. They did send a bracelet for me to try, free of cost, but could ask for it to be returned.
