Longevity and Audicin
Longevity - living well for longer. It is a complex formula of genetics and environmental influences. However, evidence strongly suggests that looking after your nervous system on a regular basis using a tool like Audicin will not only add years to your life, but happier and more productive years. Here’s how.
Robust and regular nervous system regulation, maintaining autonomic balance, supports longevity. With Audicin nervous system regulation is achieved with no effort or extra time. Just 10 minutes background listening a day is sufficient to begin regulating the nervous system - slowing heart rate, boosting heart rate variability (HRV) and easing psychological tension.
Let’s look at the impressive evidence that links Audicin impacts to longevity:
1. Autonomic balance & mortality
At Audicin, we regularly see significant improvements to HRV following Audicin use. Higher HRV is consistently linked to lower mortality risk.
• Jaroczok et al (2022) found higher HRV reliably predicts reduced mortality in a meta‑analysis .
• A 2024 cohort (“ADDITION‑PRO”) measuring week‑long HRV found each step increase reduced mortality by ~21% , which is equivalent to delaying aging by ~2.2–2.4 years .
• Huan et al (2024) conducted a large (N = 501) longitudinal veteran twin study, and reported HRV and heart rate deceleration capacity predicted death risk , independent of genetic and familial factors .
2. Stress reactivity & allostatic load
Over-activation of the sympathetic branch of the nervous system, known as the ‘fight or flight’ response, combined with poor parasympathetic (‘rest and digest’) recovery, leads to higher allostatic load, which accelerates aging (Juster et al., 2010) .
Allostatic load refers to "wear and tear" on the body caused by repeated stress. It can be thought of as the damage that accumulates when the body's systems are repeatedly triggered to cope with stress, when this activation is prolonged or excessive.
Essentially, Allostatic load is the cost of adapting to stress over time.
But the good news is it is never too late to start reversing this damage! A large systematic review from 2024 (N = 1,202) showed stress‑reduction interventions that have similar impacts to Audicin (e.g. mindfulness, controlled breathing) consistently improve HRV in cardiovascular disease populations .
3. Cognitive aging
• A 2024 longitudinal (10 year) study of 2,702 midlife (aged 44-69 years) adults found low HRV was associated with faster cognitive decline. The authors stated this was equivalent to ~3–3.5 years of accelerated aging per decade .
Various other studies have linked higher HRV with greater cognitive flexibility, emotional regulation, and lower anxiety/depression—factors tied to healthier aging .
4. Vagal tone & inflammation control
• In 2002, Dr. Tracey published a ground breaking paper in Nature called “The Inflammatory Reflex” , which describes how the vagus nerve regulates inflammation in the body and brain via the cholinergic anti‑inflammatory pathway. This is a foundational biological argument for how nervous system regulation influences longevity and health.
After over 20 years of research, in 2025, Dr. Tracey highlighted that vagus nerve stimulation with tools and techniques that share common impacts with Audicin (e.g. meditation) potentially reduce inflammation and support longevity. He advocates daily practice to enhance vagal tone.
Summary
Contemporary research reinforces a wealth of strong evidence that good nervous system regulation - high HRV, strong vagal tone, and balanced autonomic responses - links to:
• Reduced chronic inflammation
• Lower allostatic load
• Better cardiovascular & metabolic health
• Slower cognitive decline
• Lower risk of death from all causes
And importantly, interventions that have impacts on HRV comparable to Audicin such as focused breathing/meditation and stress-reduction practices have been shown to improve these markers and support longevity.
With regular nervous system regulation people are living better for longer.
