In This Episode:

Your vagus nerve is one of the most important nerves 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. 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.
 
In this podcast, I review some of the top strategies to improve your vagal tone for better digestive health.  Check out the Free Vagus Nerve Masterclass event here

How does the vagus nerve impact our digestion? Once again, Dr. Jockers finds himself in the hot seat today, being interviewed by a former guest on the show and functional medicine doctor as well, Dr. Kan. The two are talking about the importance of the vagus nerve in this illuminating masterclass. 

Go deep with Dr. Kan and Dr. Jockers on the nuances of the vagus nerve and how it impacts our body. From identifying some of the signs and symptoms of poor vagus nerve functioning, through to an appreciation of the importance of good digestion and good bowel movements, it’s all here. 

Vitamin B12 deficiencies, creating an alkalising environment in your small intestine, and the release of digestive enzymes are also all covered by Dr. Jockers as he gives us a fascinating insight into our body’s digestive process and the key role the vagus nerve plays as a bi-directional communication pathway between our gut and our brain. Please join us.

 

“We think about digestion and in the functional nutrition world we always say ‘we are what we eat’. Really, if we go deeper with that, we are what we digest and absorb.”   

-Dr. David Jockers
