This Guy’s voice is insanely annoying

Who the hell is the reader... its sooooo bad I really want the information in this book but this reader is actually making it harder to understand. The inflection is just off

Elton John? & Great book

When he was talking about the effects of listening to Mozart, the bit about Mozart seemed to conclude and then the words “Elton John” were spoken as it that was the title of a new section. After that, the book continued without any further information or mention of Elton John.

I loved this book and read it because I have IBS-C. My colon doesn’t move! After 5 minutes breathing for the last 4 nights, my colon has done its job 4 days in a row (inconceivable!!!) I will do more exercises but I definitely think this is a fruitful path for me. Thank you for writing this book!

Such a Great Discovery I am Ready to Be Healed!

Such great insight on what the vague nerve is responsible and how it affects all parts of our body . This is an awesome listen and the narrator was very articulate and has such a refreshing voice. I am listening again!

Complete, relevant, organized info

Exactly what it promises to be. Not sure yet but hoping there’s a PDF download of lists - written form of the suggested exercises, or else I’ll have to go way back and take notes. But, good book.

"Put the Pieces Together for Me"

This book helped synthesize a bigger picture for me as to why things like cryo/cold-therapy, breathing exercises, music, laughter, yoga/Pilates, etc are said to be important for improving HRV and thus long term health, but I didn't understand how or why about the whole Sympathetic/Para-sympathetic nervous system works...the author does that in Ch.15.

Chapter on how to heal very thorough

The skills list was exactly what I wanted given my previous studies on vagus nerve. This very important for trauma work with clients in mental health services.

Eye Opening

Great book with a ton of valuable information. I was totally clueless about the Vagus Nerve prior to reading this book.
It is a must read.

incredible insights and practical data.

I think this is the bet book I have ever encountered on this subject and its related states of mind and body
Thank you for a brilliant review of the essential functions the vagus nerve.

not what i expected

Contained significant advertising and was not up to the type of book i was looking for.

Too much

Too much information too fast. Moves too fast to grasp and process what the author is talking about. Felt disjointed.

The forward alone was enough to return this book.

The forward smacks of a cheesy infomercial. The book itself even has advertisements to a product and promo codes to purchase it. Utterly nauseating.

I’m not sure on the quality of the science

There is an overall overview of human biomechanics which takes up most of the book with only a short chapter at the end with any sort of advice. I’m not 100% sure that everything in that overview is accurate, there are some very general conclusions about some aspects of the workings of the body. Don’t use this book as an introduction to medicine, I would say. There is a tendency to bring EVERYTHING back to the vagus nerve when that may not be the case. There are many things that can impact heart rate variability and the length of time it takes to process food. State of thyroid function for example. Overall advice such as exposure to cold are not a cure all for everybody, especially people with an already stressed nervous system. And ‘make sure you tai chi analyse your space’? Really...

dont bother

Awful really badly put together. You can find all this information in about 10 mins on Google.

Hugely informative and genuine self help book

I listened to this book via audio and couldn’t wait to listen to the next part. Few people know about the vagus nerve and it’s huge impact on the our overall health, including medical professionals it would seem. Dr Habib gives the best explanation of vasovagal syncope I’ve heard and provides many light bulb moments as your understanding of the functions of the vagus nerve develops. I’ll be listening again and taking many notes as well as making the vagus nerve a theme within my Yoga classes. Thank you DrHabib.

Loved it

Loved it. Made sence of what we feel. Great things to work on as well

How do I get a refund

I need a refund please. I have nothing nice to say so don’t want to say anything else. Thank you.

Interesting with practical advice

Useful information about functional medicine. I was interested in functional medicine and now i know a lot more about how lifestyle can affect the body. I liked the strategies to improve.

The Future of Medicine - Vegas Nerve Health

A study into a greatly unknown and critical part of modern healthcare. The Vegas Nerve along with Nutrition and Movement are the key to frighting a majority of misunderstood illnesses, resulting in misdiagnosis, drug treatments, lifelong battles and ending in serious illness and death caused by a lack of education into the actual cause of a simple issue caused by modern lifestyles and habit of visiting the doctor to get prescription drugs.

Having personally been affected by a damaged Vegas Nerve, I've had the lot, hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, depression, pains in bones, weakness, high heart rate, stress, anxiety, gut problems. The VN is the route cause of this after it was affected by a past trauma. My years of study have brought me to understand the profound effects that caring, repairing and taking a different approach to life, health and lifestyle is the key to recovery. Mindfulness is an exceptional part of VN control.

If there are two things in life you should understand. One is to learn how to live life working for what you love and make money along the way and the other is how caring for your VN, Nutrition and Movement are the keys to a healthy long and prosperous life.

Great book and I look forward to hearing further studies on engagement, activation and repair of individual aspects of the body. Presently the high blood pressure is a sticky area where I'm looking at working with VN neurological activation by a specialist in VN pathways and tapping to reactivate communication. It's not covered by is a treatment taking the world by storm. Suggest this could be a P2 to this book.

Loved it

Very informative, easy to listen to considering the informational content, extremely interesting and eye opening.

Very Interesting and informative

Good balance of anatomy, physiology and practical steps you can take. Good narrator. Made me want to look into the area further
