Do you have a poor vagal tone? Dr. Jockers is back, and this week he’s going deep, unpacking the symptoms, causes, and natural solutions for how to improve vagal tone.
Your vagus nerve is one of the most important nerves in your body, that extends from your brain stem through your neck into your chest and abdomen and connects your brain and gut. It helps to regulate your heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, digestion, and emotional state among other functions.
Better mental clarity, suppressed inflammation, and lower blood pressure await you as you discover just how important the vagus nerve is — and why the vagal tone itself is so critical. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, fatigue, or any emotional health symptoms, it may mean that you have a poor vagal tone, and your vagus nerve needs some care.
How you seek out that care is what Dr. Jockers is here to share. There is a myriad of solutions jam-packed in this episode that is absolutely bursting with quality info.
“Warm ginger tea helps to activate the vagus nerve, stimulates liver detoxification and bowel motility to help flush out toxins.”

Curcumin Gold
Are your joints painful? Do you suffer from daily discomfort? As it stands today, chronic pain affects more Americans than DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, and CANCER combined.
In fact, chronic pain is THE NUMBER ONE reason Americans access the Healthcare system today. However, many people believe their only option for pain relief is found in drugstore options such as Ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol (to name a few). Tragically, most people are unaware that these pain meds do more HARM than good. Common side effects include Headaches, Liver and Kidney issues, High Blood Pressure, and in rare cases – even death. Not to mention, they are just masking your pain… Giving you temporary relief…
While this may sound all doom and gloom, I do have good news… There is an all-natural solution that addresses the root cause of your discomfort… A REAL solution that allows you to get back to being YOU!
And that solution is called Curcumin Gold made by my friends at Purality Health. Curcumin Gold contains Turmeric Curcumin Extract, Vegan Omega-3s, & Ginger Oil. These carefully selected ingredients support healthy joint function and address the root cause of inflammation within your body. Trust me when I say you won’t find anything else on the market quite like this. In fact, my friends over at Purality Health have a patented formula that utilizes something called ‘MICELLE LIPOSOMAL’ technology which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream – proven to be 800% more efficient!
