The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn't know you had. The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys. Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician, says: "Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained." Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore elaborates: "The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body." Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures. Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such as: - Anxiety disorder - Heart disease - Tinnitus - Obesity - Alcohol addiction - Migraines - Alzheimer's - Leaky gut - Bad blood circulation - Mood disorder - Cancer Your social nervous system increases your ability to respond effectively when you feel keyed up with anxiety or shut-down with depression. Your vagus nerve plays a key role in your overall wellbeing and performance. Whether you are feeling anxiety or depression, you can use tools to engage your social nervous system to re-establish higher order nervous system functions. Healing the nervous system can take time and requires patience. Put the polyvagal theory into action in you life to increase your sense of freedom in body and mind This book provides all the tools you need to understand and heal your vagus nerve.

Are you aware there is an essential nerve in your body called the vagus nerve, which has a significant impact on your overall health? Are you willing to improve your health and overall wellbeing once and for all? Do you want to know how to activate the power of your vagus nerve? If so, then read on… The vagus nerve is not only the longest but also the most important nerve that runs in your body. It carries vital signals to and from your brain, heart, lungs, digestive system, and other major organs in your body. Should any damage be done to this nerve by your poor, unhealthy lifestyle, uncontrolled daily stress, or injury, you stand a high risk of being plagued by chronic inflammation, anxiety, depression, PTSD, digestive problems, heart diseases, and more. To give you a perspective, the World Health Organization in 2019 reported that about 263 million people globally suffer from depression, and this number is on the increase. In the US alone, the National Institute of Mental Health in its last report estimated that 17.3 million adults (7.1% of all US adults) had at least a major depressive episode, not to mention it costs the US billions of dollars annually to treat people with epilepsy, which is reported to have affected 1.3 million people in the US, according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Now more than ever, it has become increasingly important to take back your mental wellbeing and overall health through conscious efforts in stimulating the vagus nerve. Vagus nerve stimulation has shown tremendous science-backed results in helping people who suffer from PTSD, anxiety, etc. and other conditions such as inflammation, among others. And more interestingly, these results can be achieved by applying certain natural exercises and practices that are completely inexpensive but yet proven to be highly effective. Perhaps you are experiencing one or more of the health defects mentioned, not to worry because this book would: • Provide you with deeper insights into what the vagus nerve is. • Explain the several important functions performed by the vagus nerve in the human body. • Enlighten you on several health conditions and diseases that are linked to a damaged vagus nerve. • Reveal certain lifestyle habits that can damage your vagus nerve. • Educate you on why your gut health is vital to your vagus nerve and what you can do to live a gut-healthy lifestyle. • Explain what a vagal tone is, its importance to your health, and how to measure and increase your vagal tone. • Describe science-backed natural exercises, practices, and methods you can start right away to stimulate your vagus nerve. • Help you unlock the power of your vagus nerve by empowering you to take full control of your health and overall wellbeing. And much more! Your decision to gain health and get back to a state of mental balance has led you to this book. Listen to that part of yourself rather than the apprehensions that are keeping you from a healthier and happier life.

An Epicurious Best Cookbook for Spring • “Healthier Together focuses on real whole foods and bringing community together.”—Kelly LeVeque, celebrity nutritionist and bestselling author of Body Love Food writer and health blogger Liz Moody once followed trendy diets and ate solely for fuel, not for flavor.

Mincing garlic and sautéing onions together eventually led the couple to marriage—proving that good food really is the universal connector! These 100+ flavor-packed recipes are designed to be cooked and enjoyed by two people, plus they’re all gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-centered.
