Many people do not realize that their entire bodies are connected together. They do not see how, at the end of the day, their guts, their brains, and their hearts all come together. They may realize that they need some degree of cohesion in their body, but they do not know where that cohesion comes from. The answer is, it comes from the vagus nerve. This nerve starts at your brain stem and innervates much of your body. Within this book, you will learn everything that you need to know about the vagus nerve, how it works, and what it does.

The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that travels throughout most of the body. It connects to your face, throat, heart and lungs, and all the way down into your guts. It is the connection between your visceral organs and the brain, allowing for much of the physical regulation of your body through passing information back and forth. However, it is so much more than that.
