The Autoimmune RESET
Boost Vagal Tone to Reduce Stress and Reverse Autoimmune Symptoms
Ever wonder why your body might feel out of balance despite your best health efforts? In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET podcast, I reveal how your vagus nerve—often overlooked yet incredibly powerful—could be the key to unlocking better health and sharper focus.
Join me, VJ Hamilton as I break down:
✔️ How the vagus nerve regulates inflammation, digestion, heart rate, and mood, and why its function is crucial for conditions like MS, dysautonomia, POTS, CFS, and ADHD
✔️ The science behind improved vagal tone: how activating the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway helps reduce chronic inflammation and promote neural balance
✔️ Innovative advances in vagus nerve stimulation, including how devices like Nurosym work and how I personally use it to enhance focus and cognitive clarity
✔️ Practical lifestyle strategies—from deep breathing and cold exposure to mindfulness and targeted dietary changes—that naturally boost your vagal tone and overall resilience
If you’re ready to explore the science of healing and take actionable steps toward a more balanced, focused life, tune in now!
