Can Vagus Nerve Stimulation Improve Brain Detox and Sleep? | Steve & Wendy McGough

What this episode covers

In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I am joined by Steve and Wendy McGough, co-founders of Human Innovations and creators of the hi® system. We explore how vagus nerve stimulation and parasympathetic activation may influence brain detox, sleep recovery, and heart rate variability. Steve and Wendy are co-founders of Human Innovations and creators of the hi® system, a science-informed approach to pelvic, reproductive, and sexual health. Over the past 15 years, they have worked with thousands of women and couples navigating challenges related to pelvic-floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, chronic UTIs, intimacy, and fertility. Steve holds a BS in Biochemistry from UNC Chapel Hill and conducted graduate research at Wake Forest School of Medicine’s Center for Investigative Neuroscience. He later earned a doctorate in Human Sexuality with a focus on reproductive physiology and served as an associate professor for nine years. He has published peer-reviewed research, authored multiple books, and holds six patents related to women’s health technology. After experiencing a personal tragedy, Steve and Wendy developed the hi® system to address post C-section adhesions. Their work expanded into broader applications for pelvic and reproductive health and led to the founding of Human Innovations in 2010, where they focus on translating Asian and alternative health practices into practical, science-based solutions. Together, they teach nationally and internationally, collaborate with urologists, pelvic-floor physical therapists, and fertility specialists, and guide couples through their hi® 3-Step Method and First Step for Fertility programs to restore connection, function, and long-term vitality.
