Oikos presents 15 seconds of string. Here we go. Steve's got a trunk full of groceries and no one to help him.

Oh, that's tough, Jim. Looks like a five-trip load at least. He grabs the first bag. the second, Bob, it looks like he's trying to do it on one trip. He shimmies the door open, steps over the dog, oh, and he stumbles.

Oh, right into the kitchen without missing a beat.

Jim, now that's a man who eats his protein-packed, Oikos.

So you've probably heard of the vagus nerve in the context of breathwork or meditation, but its

influence on health goes far beyond relaxation. Today's guest, Dr. Kevin Tracy, has spent decades

uncovering the groundbreaking potential of the vagus nerve and his discoveries

are reshaping how we think about inflammation, immunity, and healing. Dr. Tracy is a neurosurgeon,

scientist, and entrepreneur whose research has revolutionized our understanding of the body's

built-in healing mechanisms. He's the pioneer behind the inflammatory reflex, a discovery that

reveals how the vagus nerve can

control inflammation, and in some cases, even reverse diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, IBD, and

Alzheimer's.

In today's show, we'll explore the science behind the vagus nerve, its crucial role in regulating

your body's vital systems, and how simple lifestyle strategies like breathwork, exercise,

and even cold exposure can enhance its function. Plus, we'll discuss the cutting-edge potential

of vagus nerve stimulation how this emerging therapy is helping patients reclaim their health.

Dr. Tracy's new book, The Great Nerve, sheds light on the fascinating field of neuroimmunology, showing us how we can

tap into our body's own intelligence to optimize health, combat disease, and extend longevity.
