0:00.0	The gut feeling is quite literally related to the vagus nerve.
0:05.0	So many people have never truly felt what relaxation feels like.
0:10.0	So their brain can't recognize it.
0:12.0	That's why it's so difficult to do things like meditate.
0:16.0	It's like I don't even know what I'm going for.
0:18.0	The vagus nerve, if you abuse it, then it's going to be out of shape, being less responsive.
0:24.1	So you're going to have to do something to stimulate it so that your body actually is in a mode where it can recover better.

1:28.1	device. After talking to Amy and learning how to properly use it, oh my goodness, I've been using it.
1:33.2	It's incredible and I'm so excited because basically if you guys get a device, you can turn
1:39.3	listening into this podcast into a Vegas nerve toning session. We talk about the device more in this episode,
1:45.9	but basically it's like earphones like you would use with your phone and you use it to run
1:49.7	vagus nerve treatments into your ear. You can sync it to music, to ambient noise, you can just
