Imagine a busy road without a single sign. No traffic lights, no U-turn or left-turn signs, no roadmaps, and no directions! CHAOS. Dr. Jockers tackles the crucial role of the vagus nerve, the busiest communication superhighway in the body, in controlling the nervous system’s parasympathetic functions. What happens when the vagal tone gets out of tune? Is there a button we can press that puts it back in order? How do we even know if the vagus nerve is already activated? Find the answers in this episode.
“When we think of the vagus nerve, we think of resting and digesting, and stimulating the healing process in the body.”
-Dr. David Jockers
