Can NuCalm Help With PTSD?

Retired Navy SEAL Bob Reitz joins This Is NuCalm to share how his deployments have shaped civilian life. He elaborates on the coping mechanisms he’s developed in conjunction with NuCalm, to manage his PTSD and hypervigilance.

“You may be able to hold your breath for five minutes, but they want to know how you manage and how you act at five minutes and one second. Do you panic? Do you compete? Do you keep your composure? Do you stay underwater and relax even though you’re a quiet storm inside? All those things matter.”

— Bob Reitz

Bob Reitz is open and honest in this conversation with David Poole about what it entails to be a SEAL. He shares some of the grueling trials and training required.

“Everything about SEAL training is failure.”

He later went into the Defense Contracting Industry where he sold Covert Audio and Video equipment to both DOD and Federal Agencies. It was during this time that he was introduced to NuCalm by way of a Gifted NuCalm System from Dr. David Walters (Bob’s personal Doctor) to help him with Sleep and Travel. Because NuCalm had such a profound effect on Bob, he quit his Defense Contracting career and reached out to NuCalm to join the team!
