Natural Vagus Nerve Stimulation

July 21, 2019

The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex nerve connecting the brain to the major internal organs.

This is how we regulate breathing, heart rate, digestion and more.

We want to restore the vagus nerve to optimal function.

In this way we spend more time in the parasympathetic nervous state of ‘rest and digest’ rather than ‘fight or flight’.

My guest today is Abby Beauchamp.

We talk about the importance of the vagus nerve for chronic back pain particularly how to stimulate the vagus nerve in stressful situations.

As you practice vagus nerve stimulation regularly, you will improve your baseline vagal tone.

You will become more resilient to stress and less prone to muscular tension and pain.
