VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION

Vagus Nerve stimulation is ESSENTIAL to proper digestion, preventing inflammation, initiating the body’s parasympathetic system, and supplying parasympathetic fibers to all the major organs of the head, neck, chest, and abdomen.

It even directly affects: speech, swallowing, heartbeat, blood pressure, hearing, taste, circulation, gut health, bladder movement, orgasms, and fertility. 

The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn't know you had, watch this video to know more about the Vagus Nerve and its links to the brain,...

If your vagus nerve …ever noticed more bloat when you’re mentally stressed? Or on the flipside, maybe you ate something old and hours later you had brain fog?

Okay so what is VNS? Vagus Nerve Stimulation refers to any technique that stimulates the vagus nerve, including manual or electrical stimulation. 

There are actually 32 SCIENCE BACKED ways to stimulate the Vagus nerve (click here for the full list), but here are a couple of my favorite manual, at home practices you can easily incorporate into your daily routine:

1️⃣GARGLE WITH WATER

Gargle with water very aggressively until

your eyes tear. The same pathway to the

brain that makes you tear up is the also the

pathway that activates the vagus nerve.

Ultimately, tearing up is a sign that you are

improving motility. Repeat this 4-6 times/day.

2️⃣TONGUE BLADES

Purchase a tongue blade and push on the very

back of the tongue. This should make you gag

slightly and you will begin to tear up.

3️⃣SING LOUDLY

Singing loudly activates the uvula, which fires up the vagus nerve.

4️⃣PROBIOTICS & A PROBIOTIC RICH DIET

5️⃣BREATHWORK/YOGA

I have a list of exercises on the blog here!

All the diets, plans, and protocols will be meaningless **until** you understand how they apply to you, as an individual.
