The Quarterback Kid

 

QUARTERBACK CHRISTIAN WRAGGE

Christian Wragge is a 9-year-old football player with an arm of an NFL quarterback. I’m exaggerating, but when you see him throw, the ball spiraling through the air for almost half the length of a football field, hanging airborne before it finally drops into the arms of a young receiver, it’s jaw-dropping. He’s in third grade.

I’ve known Christian since he was 3 years old. His mom is our contributing nutrition editor, Sarah Wragge, and his father is CBS News New York This Morning co-anchor Chris Wragge. I follow them both on Instagram, and when Chris started posting videos of Christian playing football, I became obsessed. Yes, they are filmed like NFL highlight reels, but I couldn’t believe the arm on this kid. We’ve done sport phenoms and prodigy stories before, but this one might be the greatest story yet to be told. Read More

Biohack Your Stress

 

NUROPOD VAGUS NERVE STIMULATOR

 
Back in January, we featured vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in 31 Days of Wellness, and VNS devices, the hot new trend in biohack tools. Knowing there was much more on the topic than could fit into the short 31 Day posts, we wanted to go in for a deeper dive…

Vagus Nerve Stimulation was originally used as a medical neuromodulation treatment for epilepsy and seizure control, as well as severe psychological disorders such as depression. The invasive VNS devices used were surgically implanted pulse generators that resembled a pacemaker, and shown to have about 50% efficacy, which was considered beneficial as a treatment.

In the past decade, the effect of VNS on general psychological and cognitive functioning has gained a lot of attention in the health and wellness space, with the introduction of non-invasive VNS methods shown to be capable of activating the vagus nerve, similarly to the invasive techniques, for overall wellbeing.
