Apollo Neuro — The Complete Collection
Apollo uses gentle touch therapy delivered through your wrist or ankle to physically shift your nervous system from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest. Eight modes. One device. The mechanism sleep hygiene can't replicate.

Sleep & Renewal
Wear it 30 minutes before bed. Sleep mode physically tells your nervous system the day is done. I went from waking twice a night to sleeping through consistently — within the first week. Not placebo. Mechanism.
Meditation, Breathwork & Calm
This is what I use during breathwork or a wind-down walk. Calm mode meets your parasympathetic system where it is and pulls it in the right direction. Better sleep starts hours before bed — this is the bridge.
Complete Sleep System
Energy in the morning. Social during the day. Sleep at night. One device that supports your nervous system across the full cycle — not just bedtime. If I were buying Apollo for the first time, this is the one I'd start with.
Energy & Focus
I use this instead of a second coffee. Energy mode lifts you without the cortisol spike you'll pay for at 3am. Your HRV goes up, focus sharpens, and your nervous system stays regulated — all day.
PTSD, Anxiety & Calm
When the nervous system has been through something — trauma, chronic anxiety, a body that never learned to feel safe — sleep doesn't just come back on its own. This is the targeted protocol for that. Not a general calm. A specific reset.
Stress, Anxiety & PTSD Calm
If your sleep problem is actually an anxiety problem — this is the mechanism. Chronic stress and trauma lock the nervous system in sympathetic dominance. This mode was designed specifically for that. Not general relaxation. That difference matters.
Relax & Unwind
Different from Sleep mode — this is for the 90-minute window before bed. Relax & Unwind bridges the gap between the day's chaos and the quiet your body needs to initiate sleep. I layer this with my Magnesium Glycinate for a full protocol.
Peak Performance
This one surprised me. Peak Performance isn't just for athletes — it's for anyone who needs to be fully present. The calm-alertness it creates is what I use before anything high-stakes. Regulated nervous system equals elevated performance. Always.
Magnesium Glycinate — Form Matters
Not Magnesium Oxide. Not Magnesium Citrate. Glycinate — the form that crosses into the brain, supports GABA receptors, and addresses the exact pathway disrupted by hormonal shifts in midlife.
Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate
I take this every night. The difference in sleep quality — specifically in staying asleep and not waking at 3am — was noticeable within a week. This is the one supplement I'd keep if I had to choose one.
Why Magnesium Glycinate (Not the Others)
Crosses the blood-brain barrier. Supports GABA — the neurotransmitter that promotes calm and sleep. Gentle on digestion. The form that works for what we need.
Cheap filler. Poor bioavailability. This is what's in most grocery store magnesium. It doesn't get where it needs to go. Skip it.
Fine for digestion. Not the right form for nervous system and sleep support. Often confused with Glycinate — they're different compounds.
Progesterone supports GABA receptors. As progesterone drops in perimenopause, so does your natural calm signal. Magnesium Glycinate supports the same pathway.
Lactigo — Release What Your Body's Holding
Physical tension is the sleep disruptor nobody talks about. Your muscles carry the day's stress into the night. Lactigo speeds recovery and reduces the physical arousal that keeps your nervous system alert.
Lactigo Carnosine Gel
I work out. My body holds that stress if I don't give it a way to release it. Lactigo is a topical carnosine gel that supports muscle recovery and reduces the physical tension that prevents deep sleep. Apply to major muscle groups before your pre-sleep routine.
This isn't a sleep supplement — it's a recovery tool that removes one of the physical barriers to sleep. Different tool, different problem, same outcome.
The Physical Tension Loop
Stress → muscle tension → nervous system alert → can't sleep → more stress
Breaking the loop requires physical intervention — not just mental wind-down. This is where Lactigo fits in the system.
