VAGAL NERVE STIMULATION THRU THE DIVING SYSTEM · Your Daily Dose

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: So, hello everybody. It is, uh, first, I guess the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: first of September. Welcome. Today we're going to talk about
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the vagal nerve. You ever hear of that?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: The main trunk of nerves that runs from the brain
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: to the rest of the body. And it tends to
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: be one that is now coming under scrutiny by the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: drug manufacturers because they're.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Trying to get it to work again.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: That it seems that anything past the age of about 40, 45,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: it starts to deteriorate. And past the age of 60,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: it pretty much is negligible. So we're looking for new
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: ways to drive reflex and dive into it and enhance
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: vagal tone.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: That's what we're going to talk about today.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Talk about a new product that's coming out from Nutritional
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Frontiers that I play a role in.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Hi, and welcome to Health Talk with Dr. Len,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: your daily dose.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: The information you hear on this show is informational. It's
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: not meant to diagnose or treat any disease. Any kind
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of complete health conditions must be checked out and discussed
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: with your primary care physician.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Get ready for the good news of the day. God
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: bless you folks. And here is Dr. Leonard.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Our daily devotional today comes from the book of Genesis
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: chapter 16. There is no place so desolate that you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: cannot find me there. When Hagar fled from her mistress, Sarah,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: into the wilderness, she thought she was utterly alone and forsaken.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: But Hagar encountered me in that desolate place. There she
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: addressed me as the living one who sees me. Through
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that encounter with my presence, she gained courage to return
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to her mistress. No set of circumstance could ever isolate
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you from my loving presence.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Not only do I see you always, I see you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: as a redeemed.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Saint, gloriously radiant in my righteousness. That is why I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: take great delight in you and rejoice over you with singing.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Thank you. 727-916-4215 This reflex isn't just a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: biological curiosity. It has real-world benefits.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: The diving reflex is an automatic physiological response triggered when
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you immerse your face.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: In cold water or hold your breath.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It can have fascinating and practical effects, slowing the heart,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: conserving oxygen, and even calming the body. This reflex isn't
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: just a curiosity. It has real-world applications, from helping people
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: dive deeper underwater to assisting doctors in managing certain heart
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: rhythm problems.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So, diving reflex. What happens in your body?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Cold water splashed across your face, trigeminal nerve activated. Blood
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and oxygen are redirected to the brain and heart. The
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: vagus nerve is activated. Heart rate slows.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Blood is rich in oxygen. Life-sustaining.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: The diving reflex is an automatic physiological reaction that helps
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the body conserve oxygen during submersion in water. When the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: face is submerged in cold water, specialized sensors in the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: skin stimulate the trigeminal nerve, and it goes on and on.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And it goes basically this, the diving reflex is like
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a built-in survival mode that protects your vital organs and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: helps your body stretch every last breath like a natural
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: underwater superpower. Its result is a coordinated three-part physiological response.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Number one, your heart rate slows.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Number two, blood is redirected to vital organs. And number three,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: oxygen carrying capacity increases. During the diving reflex, the spleen
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: contracts and releases red blood cells into circulation, increasing the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. This adaptation is particularly striking in the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: seaborne Bajou people in Southeast Asia, whose divers have spleens
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: roughly 50% larger than those of their land-based neighbors. The
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: diving reflex is most powerfully activated when multiple triggers occur together.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: The main triggers include cold water immersion, facial wetness, and pressure, breath-holding,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and even airflow across the face in infants. Among these,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: cold facial immersion combined with breath holding produces the strongest response.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So what are the benefits of the diving reflex?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Number one, stress and anxiety relief.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Activating this reflex produces effects that are almost the opposite
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of a panic response. Number two, managing abnormal heart rhythms.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: The diving reflex can be used as a simple non-invasive
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: technique to interrupt certain types of faster, including paradoxal supraventricular tachycardia.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And it can protect infants from drowning, deep diving without gear.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So how do you train diving reflex? And again, it
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: goes to cold water immersions, cold compress, hold your breath briefly,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: bend over, other water-based activities, repeat if needed. Following groups
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: should avoid this. People with heart conditions, people with seizure disorders,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: people with severe asthma.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Or respiratory conditions. What are the potential risks of the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: diving reflex?
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Since the reflex reduces the body's awareness of its own
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: oxygen depletion, it can suppress the normal urge to breathe,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: making blackouts more dangerous.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: So what's the takeaway? Well, the takeaway is it works.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And if that vagal nerve is doing what it needs to,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: which is vagal tone. All of this is a mute point,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and it's going to accentuate the body's ability to survive.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: That's what it's all about.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So a new prep is coming out that we've been
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: working on for nearly a year and a half called
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Vagal Sync, I believe is what the name is going
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to be, coming out sometime in September. We'll bring you
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: more information as it gets closer. It's a biological assist
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: for almost every health condition, We look forward to sharing.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That with you when it comes available. So we've got
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it for you today, folks. God bless. And I will
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: talk to you soon. Take care.
