What is the vagus nerve?

To kick off this first episode in the Vagus Nerve podcast series we are discussing what exactly the vagus nerve is and the important roles it plays in the body.

In this episode I chat with Carrie Rigoni from @drcarrierigoni about:

  • How she stumbled across the vagus nerve and how it positively impacted her life
  • An easy to understand explanation of where the vagus nerve is and what roles it plays in the body
  • The signs to look for to suggest that your nervous system is over-active and your vagal tone may be low
  • Laura shares her personal journey with parenting and nervous system regulation

Iā€™d love to know what you thought of this episode, jump over to @physiolaura and tell me what you learnt!
