Quick Vagus Nerve Reset to Destress Your Body
In this solo episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the vagus nerve, the longest nerve in your body and the main driver of your rest and digest state, and explains why so many people with anxiety, poor sleep, and digestive issues are really stuck in chronic fight or flight.
You will learn how the ventral and dorsal branches of the vagus nerve shape your calm, stress, and freeze responses, the common signs of poor vagal tone, and four simple at-home tests you can use to check your own vagal tone, from the pupillary light test to your heart rate to breath rate ratio and HRV.
