For Athletes

Built for Athletes.
Backed by Science.

Not a wellness app. A performance tool.

You track every rep, every mile, every macro. Your nervous system is the only system you're still leaving unoptimized. That ends now.

Athlete Protocols

Four phases. Four frequencies.
One system.

Every phase of your training cycle has a corresponding frequency protocol. Stop winging your recovery. Build the system.

01 / 04
40Hz GAMMA - 5 MINUTES

Pre-Workout
Neural Activation

↑ 15–30 min before training

40Hz gamma primes your prefrontal cortex for peak alertness. The same gamma burst pattern MIT researchers found activates neural binding and cognitive clarity before high-performance tasks. Five minutes. Measurable output.

Mechanism Gamma entrainment → increased neural synchrony → faster reaction time, heightened focus, reduced pre-competition anxiety. Iaccarino et al., MIT 2016.
02 / 04
10Hz ALPHA - 10 MINUTES

Post-Workout
Nervous System Reset

↓ Immediately after training

After intense output, your sympathetic nervous system stays activated. Alpha at 10Hz accelerates the shift back to parasympathetic dominance - the state where actual recovery begins. Ten minutes to flip the switch.

Mechanism Alpha entrainment → parasympathetic reactivation → cortisol drop, HRV increase, accelerated lactate clearance. Geisler et al., 2014.
03 / 04
2Hz DELTA - 15 MINUTES

Pre-Sleep
Repair Protocol

↓ 20–30 min before bed

70–75% of daily HGH release happens during delta-dominant sleep. Delta entrainment at 2Hz accelerates your descent into slow-wave sleep - where tissue repair, glymphatic clearance, and protein synthesis actually happen.

Mechanism Delta entrainment → SWS onset acceleration → HGH spike, glymphatic flush, muscle protein synthesis. Ehlers & Kupfer sleep research.
04 / 04
7.83Hz SCHUMANN - 20 MINUTES

Active Recovery
Grounding Session

↻ Rest days / between sessions

The Schumann resonance is Earth's electromagnetic frequency. Your nervous system evolved tuned to it. On recovery days, 20 minutes at 7.83Hz drives deep parasympathetic activation and measurable HRV uplift.

Mechanism Schumann entrainment → theta-alpha border state → parasympathetic dominance, inflammation reduction, HRV recovery. König, 1979.
HRV Tracking
+23% HRV

Average improvement
in 4 weeks.

HRV is the only biometric that tells you whether your nervous system is actually recovered. Elite athletes use it to decide whether to push or pull back. We use it to tell you whether the protocol worked.

Apple Watch tracks HRV before and after every session. The data is yours. The trend is the score.

n=240 sessions. 4-week average. Apple Watch Series 6+.

Recovery Comparison

Every athlete uses something.
Here's how they stack up.

Time, cost, HRV impact. The data on every major recovery modality - and where Non Magic fits.

Recovery Method Session Time Monthly Cost HRV Impact Accessibility Non Magic
🧘 Meditation (App) 10–20 min $13–$70/mo Low (+4–8%) Anywhere -

HRV impact ranges from published research and clinical data. Non Magic avg from 240 internal sessions.
Built From Experience

The founder is the athlete.

Competitive Triathlete Amateur Boxer 2 Months in Thailand Monastery Papua New Guinea Expedition HRV Obsessed

Grady started meditating because he needed to lower his heart rate as a competitive triathlete and boxer. Not for peace. Not for enlightenment. For performance data.

He spent 2 months as a monk in Thailand and Myanmar. Then 2 weeks with a Papua New Guinea tribe. He came back convinced: the science is real, but no app was using it seriously.

Non Magic is the app he needed but couldn't find. Built for athletes who want data, not vibes. For people who track everything - and finally want to track this.

"I was racing triathlons. I needed my nervous system to recover faster than my competition's. Meditation apps told me to breathe and relax. I needed protocols with measurable outputs. So I built them."
