What if improving your mental health and physical well-being could be as simple as understanding one nerve in your body? Research shows your vagus nerve plays a powerful role in your well-being.

This week, I’m joined by Dr. Kevin Tracey, a world-renowned neurosurgeon and pioneering researcher, to explore the vagus nerve and how improving your vagal tone can improve your health.

Some of the things we discuss are:

  • What the vagus nerve is and why it’s crucial for your overall health.
  • How vagus nerve stimulation is being used to treat conditions like depression and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Clear signs of vagus nerve dysfunction and how it connects to inflammation.
  • Practical ways to improve your vagal tone, from exercise to breath work.
  • Why heart rate variability might be a window into your health.
  • The critical role the vagus nerve plays in building mental strength and resilience.
