Publisher's summary

Are you having anxiety or chronic stress, suffering from inflammation, or experiencing difficulty remembering things, sometimes? You can improve all of these simply by activating this magical nerve in your body!

Your vagus nerve is the largest and most important nerve in your body. It carries messages to and from your brain, gut, heart, and other major muscles and organs. However, common issues like inflammation, stress, or physical trauma can interfere with the nerve's ability to function.

This practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical well-being builds on Stephen Porges's Polyvagal Theory—one of the most significant recent developments in human neurobiology. This audiobook explores the crucial role that the vagus nerve plays in determining our psychological and emotional states and explains that a myriad of common psychological and physical symptoms—from anxiety and depression to migraines and back pain—indicates a lack of proper functioning in the vagus nerve.

Luckily, there are tons of quick-and-easy ways to activate and exercise the nerve, strengthening its function and restoring your body to good health. Packed with easy-to-follow exercises and activities, this audiobook will show you how to unlock the power of the vagus nerve to heal your body and get back into a state of balance.

In this audiobook, you will discover:

  • What is the vagus nerve?
  • What is the importance of the vagus nerve?
  • Vagus nerve anatomy disclosure
  • The functions of the vagus nerve that hold the secret of your holistic health
  • The important relations between vagus nerves and parasympathetic system and how you hack it
  • Steps to improve your vagal tone to prevent physical inflammation
  • The study on the vagus nerve is so advanced that a new field of medicine "bioelectronics" was found
  • Vagus nerve stimulation routines you can add to your daily habit
  • And much, much more!

The vagus nerve plays a vital role in our overall health and well-being. Activating your vagus nerve is really about adopting a few healthy practices that keep it stimulated and working optimally. We could dive into more techniques, but you will need a professional guide to help you!

Enlightening

This audiobook start by explaining how important the vagus nerve is for our bodies. The author comes across as highly knowledgeable. The author then moves into exploring what the vagus nerve is and why it matters. Then the author spends a considerable amount of time detailing what can go wrong with the body if the vagus nerve fails. This is important because it connects the audiobook's subject to the listener and helps us see how important activating the nerve is. The chapters on how to eat right and meditate to activate the nerve were enlightening.

Better sleep

I had not heard of the vagus nerve before coming across this guide. I've been sheltering in place since April 22, and my sleep schedule is none existent. However, I am returning to work in less than 2 weeks, so I've got to get back on track. I'm hoping the techniques I found in this audiobook will help. Its a clear and easy guide.

I didn't know I had a vagus nerve

This guide takes from what and where the vagus nerve is to what it controls and how to fix it if not working properly. I recommend this audiobook for anyone who wants to learn more about their vagus nerve and possibly digest and sleep better among a few.

Interesting nuggets of information

Fascinating practical application of Porges' Polyvagal theory and how regulation of the cranial nerves can impact us in surprising ways.

A very useful update of the understanding of the stress response and related states. Stress & relaxation are insufficient descriptors on their own and the polyvagal theory offers a much more rounded understanding: adding mobilised with and without fear, and immobilised with and without fear - allowing for greater understanding and potential treatment of these states.

The author's self-help exercises and treatment techniques are adapted from craniosacral therapy and osteopathy and surprisingly effective for being so minimal - proving in and of themselves that the point is to activate the body to fix itself rather than apply a fix to it.

Something to definitely keep in mind and work at.

I have so many health issues outlined in this audiobook and I never would have thought to attribute it to this nerve. It's crazy how much it controls and how important it is to stimulate the nerve to keep your overall health up. It's not even doing hard things, but things that are easy to incorporate into your daily routine. The guide did a great job outlining the impact of this nerve and how it relates to common health problems (think: depression, anxiety, frequent headaches, migraines, etc) and laid it all out. Then transitions to things you can and should be doing to help the nerve, or work it out. Something to definitely keep in mind and work at.
