Hypervigilance, Burnout, Fatigue... Stress and Shutdown.  These are all too common in the police and first responder professions.  For years, I struggled with my desire to optimize with fitness and work performance, which led to rest and recovery taking a backseat (not a pretty result).  What if there was a tool and technology with proven efficacy with Special Forces, BORTAC, the FBI and pro sports teams?  What if it was accessible on your phone, for usage as you move about your day or rest for 15-20 min?

In my continual efforts to find meaningful tools and solutions for our community, I am excited to feature Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm.  NuCalm at surface level is an app that allows users to access audio modules - but at its heart is legitimate neuroscience.  Where other music, relaxation and meditation apps fall short is their lack of variability, since our brains are too quick and nimble to get the same effectiveness after multiple uses.  NuCalm also removes the verbal stimulus that people like me find distracting, and defeats the music streaming “Next Song ADD" trap that I fall into if I’m trying to find that right workout or work flow song for the background.

Listen in to learn what NuCalm can do for your busy, high performance life and recovery needs.  From now until the end of the year, access the biggest discount for yourself or your agency.
