Podcasts about vagal

What goes on at the neurobiological level that makes someone more vulnerable to self-injure or self-harm? What biological risk factors are at play? What roles do the vagus nerve, cortisol levels, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis have? We hope to discuss the psychology of self-injury pain in a future episode, but in this episode, Dr. Michael Kaess from the University of Bern in Switzerland explains the neurobiology of self-injury in simple terms, or what we hope can be considered simple layman's terms.  Learn more about Dr. Kaess and his research team at the Universitäre Psychiatrische Dienste (UPD) in Bern here.

You can have the perfect planner, the right system, and the best intentions, and still not follow through. It isn't a caring problem. After enough broken promises to yourself, some quiet part of you simply stops believing the plan. That's where this conversation with Dr. Tamara Rosier begins, and it reframes self-trust as something closer to a nervous system skill than a mindset you can think your way into.Dr. Tamara Rosier has written the books and built the center and stood on the stages, and she still wakes some mornings and reminds herself, deliberately, that she is a trustworthy person. The belief underneath — the one she's carried since she was small — is that she's a person who screws things up. ADHD feeds a belief like that. It chips away at your sense of who you are, one forgotten thing at a time, until distrusting yourself stops feeling like a wound and starts feeling like good judgment.So much of that, it turns out, is happening in the body. An ADHD nervous system can spend its whole life braced — fight, flight, freeze, appease — switched on and calling it normal because it has never known the alternative. For years Tamara sat frozen on the couch, melting into the cushions, sure she was resting, when she was really stuck somewhere below the place where rest actually lives. There's a narrow band where you're calm and awake at once, and a lot of us have never spent much time there. Hearing her describe it, you may quietly start to wonder whether you ever have.The way back looks like catching yourself mid-loop — Tamara tells it through the week she lost one of her chickens, and the refrain that trailed her around the house, I failed her, I failed her, I failed her — and then learning to talk back to it, to move your body, to put on the Motown, to do the next small thing that nudges you up out of the freeze. It looks like noticing the clever ways we avoid all of that, too: the new app, the next fix, the dopamine that keeps us busy on the surface so we never have to turn toward the thing underneath.And the hope here is almost disappointingly ordinary. No system is going to fix you by Thursday. What there is, instead, is the small correction, made again and again, the way a sailor nudges the tiller rather than wrenching the whole boat around and tipping it over. There's learning to read your own weather, hour by hour. There's accepting that you may always need the timer, the Post-it, the reminder, and letting that be fine rather than shameful. Self-trust grows in that soil — in the quiet, stubborn belief that whatever goes sideways today, you'll know how to repair it.Links & NotesDr. Tamara Rosier — our guest's author site, where you can find her work and stay connected.ADHD Center of West Michigan — the coaching and support practice Tamara founded in Grand Rapids.Your Brain's Not Broken — Tamara's book on navigating your emotions and life with ADHD.

Welcome back to Dr. M's Women and Children First. Today, we are joined by one of the leading voices in the world of vagus nerve health, functional medicine, and autonomic nervous system regulation, Dr. Navaz Habib. Dr. Habib is a chiropractor, educator, international speaker, and author of the bestselling books *Activate Your Vagus Nerve* and *Upgrade Your Vagus Nerve*. His work has helped bring the science of the vagus nerve from the research world into practical clinical medicine, helping providers and patients better understand the powerful connection between the brain, immune system, gut, metabolism, and overall health. On today's episode, we take a pediatric lens to this fascinating topic. We explore how vagal tone influences inflammation, stress resilience, digestion, sleep, emotional regulation, and neurodevelopment. We discuss what happens when the autonomic nervous system becomes dysregulated, how chronic stress can shape a child's physiology, and why the vagus nerve may be one of the most important communication highways in the body. We'll also dive into practical strategies that families and clinicians can use to support vagal function, including breathing techniques, movement, nutrition, social connection, sleep, and other evidence-informed interventions that can help children build greater resilience in an increasingly stressful world. If you've ever wondered how the nervous system intersects with immune health, behavior, gut function, and chronic disease risk, this conversation is for you. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Navaz Habib. Dr. M

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jay Wiles to unpack the science of nervous system regulation and Heart Rate Variability. Dr. Wiles explains why many popular nervous system tools fail to deliver lasting results, breaks down the role of the vagus nerve, and shares how Heart Rate Variability (HRV) can be used as a personalized metric for resilience and recovery. The conversation dives into resonant breathing, how to find your optimal breathing rate, and why comparing your HRV scores to others can be misleading. He also introduces his Nervous System Resiliency Training (NSRT) framework and discusses the innovative Ohm Health lamp, a device designed to help users train autonomic flexibility and improve stress resilience. Whether you're new to HRV or looking to optimize performance, this episode offers practical strategies for building a more resilient nervous system.Dr. Jay Wiles is a clinical health and performance psychologist, internationally recognized expert in HRV biofeedback and psychophysiology, and Chief Health & Performance Officer at Ohm Health. He has worked with professional athletes and organizations across the MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA, PGA Tour, Formula One, and Fortune 100 companies, helping high performers improve resilience, recovery, sleep, and performance under pressure. He is the originator of Nervous System Resiliency Training (NSRT), a structured, protocol-driven framework for training autonomic flexibility that translates the principles of nervous system regulation into measurable improvements in health, well-being, and human performance.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!3:44 About Dr. Jay Wiles4:46 Welcome him to the show!6:35 Why nervous system tools don't work12:27 The Vagus Nerve explained15:38 Vagal nerve stimulators17:32 How HRV relates to the vagus nerve18:40 HRV 10120:45 Brake vs Gas pedal analogy23:09 Why you shouldn't compare HRV scores28:13 Genetics for HRV30:49 What to do if you're frustrated with HRV!31:47 What is Resonance?36:00 Resonant breathing38:26 Visual of dysregulated nervous system42:29 Optimal breathing rates47:05 How to determine your resonant breath rate!50:01 The Ohm Health lamp56:32 Specs & portability59:24 Recommended usage for benefits1:03:05 Are vagus nerve stimulators a waste?1:05:20 His opinion on other breathing techniques?1:07:00 How to get an Ohm lamp!1:07:49 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: Ohm Health - code: BIOHACKERBABESDr. Jay: www.thrive-wellness.comIG: @ohm.healthIG: @drjaywilesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

What if the same brain states people spend years chasing through psychedelics could be accessed through meditation alone, and in as little as seven days? In this fascinating solo episode, Darin Olien explores groundbreaking new research from University of California San Diego, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and University of Montreal suggesting that meditation may produce brain patterns remarkably similar to those observed during psychedelic experiences. From the suppression of the default mode network and increases in neural complexity to neuroplasticity, endogenous opioids, and measurable biological changes in the bloodstream, Darin unpacks the science behind one of the most powerful, and completely free tools available to human beings. He also walks listeners through a practical seven-day protocol combining focused-attention meditation, Vipassana, breathwork, walking meditation, and loving-kindness practices designed to help cultivate greater awareness, emotional resilience, cognitive flexibility, and inner peace. What You'll Learn The groundbreaking UC San Diego meditation study and its surprising findings Why meditation may create brain states similar to psilocybin What the default mode network is and how it shapes everyday thinking How meditation may reduce rumination, anxiety, and self-referential thought The concept of brain criticality and cognitive flexibility Why post-meditation blood samples stimulated neuronal growth How meditation influences neuroplasticity and whole-body biology The differences between Samatha and Vipassana meditation What advanced monks are teaching scientists about

Meditation is not simply a relaxation practice—it appears to be a biological, neurological, and consciousness-altering intervention capable of reshaping the brain, changing the body, and transforming how we experience reality. The question is not whether the door exists. The question is whether we are willing to sit still long enough to walk through it."

Penchons nous aujourd'hui sur le domaine de la santé connectée avec une annonce de Samsung qui affirme que sa Galaxy Watch pourrait bientôt prédire les évanouissements, et ce bien avant qu'ils ne surviennent.Derrière cette promesse, il y a une étude clinique menée en Corée. Cette étude valide la capacité de la montre connectée Galaxy Watch 6 à anticiper une syncope vasovagale, c'est à dire le fameux malaire vagal.Précision de 85 %Pour y parvenir, les chercheurs ont exploité le capteur de photopléthysmographie de la montre, qui mesure les variations de la fréquence cardiaque, et y ont injecté un algorithme d'intelligence artificielle.Les résultats en laboratoire sont impressionnants puisque le modèle a prédit les malaises jusqu'à cinq minutes avant qu'ils ne se produisent. Et ce avec une précision de près de 85 %.Pour les patients concernés, ces précieuses minutes de sursis permettraient de s'asseoir, de s'allonger ou de s'éloigner d'une zone dangereuse, évitant ainsi de graves traumatismes crâniens ou des fractures liés à une chute.Un problème de faux positifReste que des cardiologues demeurent forts dubitatifs face à cette innovation. Le problème majeur réside dans le fait que dans plus de 30 % des cas, l'algorithme se trompe, et lance de fausses alertes. De quoi gêner considérablement la vie quotidienne des utilisateurs.Car la multiplication de ces faux positifs entraîne inévitablement ce que les médecins appellent la fatigue des alarmes, un phénomène qui pousse l'utilisateur à ignorer les avertissements ou à développer une anxiété médicale totalement injustifiée.C'est donc là, entre les essais en laboratoire et l'usage dans la vie réelle, que cette étude pose problème.Le problème du terrain vs. le laboDe plus, dans le quotidien d'un utilisateur, des dizaines de variables parasitent les signaux du capteur, qu'il s'agisse des mouvements, de la déshydratation, de la prise de médicaments ou même de la couleur de la peau.Les experts rappellent donc que ces appareils grand public, aussi perfectionnés soient-ils, ne sont pas des outils de diagnostic.Pour que cette technologie devienne un véritable outil de médecine préventive, Samsung devra passer par des essais à grande échelle.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

In Episode 44 of Pursuit of Balance, Corey breaks down how exercise directly and indirectly improves mental health — and why "the best path to the mind is through the body." This isn't your typical mental health awareness conversation. Instead of journaling, breathing, and bubble baths, Corey gets into the actual mechanisms behind why training works — and the indirect benefits most people don't realize they're signing up for when they commit to a real fitness routine. What we cover: -Why exercise is technically a stressor (and how that actually builds stress resilience) -BDNF and why post-workout is one of the best times to learn -How aerobic training recalibrates your HPA axis and stress threshold -Vagal tone, HRV, and what your nervous system is trying to tell you -The neurotransmitter cocktail behind the runner's high -The biggest mistake people make when joining a gym (and why "trying it out" is the worst strategy) -Identity shifts, community, healthy competition, and structure as mental stabilizers -Why hard training leads to better sleep — and why productivity beats busyness -The role of light exposure and outdoor training in mental health -Why exercise rivals SSRIs for treating depression and anxiety

We're in our Element of Resilience and we're going somewhere most mental health conversations completely skip: the heart.  Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek unpack why mental health has been so brain-centric for so long, what the field of neurocardiology is revealing about the heart's role in how we feel, think, and connect, and why ancient healing traditions were frankly ahead of the curve on all of this. Then they walk through three practical, research-backed heart-centered practices to support your mental health: self-acceptance, loving-kindness, and compassion. Henry also shares a simple, portable exercise called The Three Kindnesses that you can do anywhere, anytime. Whether you've been with us throughout this series or this is your first episode, this one is a great entry point into what Joy Lab is really about.   Try It Free

Good morning! Let's bring all the pieces of your peace together. Today is Day 6 of our Vagus Nerve Reset, and we are focusing on Integration. We're learning how to "stack" our eye shifts, breath releases, and mudras to create a powerful, unified signal of safety for the brain. In This Episode: The Power of Layering: Why "stacking" somatic techniques is the fastest way to lower a high cortisol baseline. The Weaving of the Soul: How ancient practitioners used multi-sensory rituals to achieve deep states of presence. The Integrated Practice: A full 5-minute guided session combining every tool we've learned this week. A Daily Message for Your Heart Life often asks you to be ten different people at once. You are the business owner, the grandmother, the fixer, the dreamer. It's easy to feel scattered into a million pieces. Today, I want you to feel the relief of coming back into one piece. You don't have to be fragmented today. As you layer these breaths and these movements, imagine you are gathering all those scattered parts of yourself and bringing them home to your heart. You are a masterpiece of integration. You are steady, you are soft, and you are whole. I am so honored to be part of your symphony today. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Vagal Tone Reset: How to Recover from Stress 50% Faster" episodes 3507-3513.

Good morning! It's time to find your unshakeable core. Today is Day 5 of our Vagal Tone Reset, and we are focusing on Bravery.

A Daily Message for Your Heart: I know that life can feel like a series of 'shocks' lately. There are emails that startle us, news that shakes us, and demands that make us want to run. But I want you to remember today that you have a root that goes deeper than any storm. You are allowed to be brave, not because you are perfect, but because you are rooted. Today, as you feel that 'cool water' of your practice, remember that you have the power to calm your own heart. You don't have to wait for the world to be quiet to feel peace. You are the mountain, sturdy and strong.  This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Vagal Tone Reset: How to Recover from Stress 50% Faster" episodes 3507-3513.

Good morning! Let's find the quiet at the center of the storm. Today is Day 4 of our Vagal Tone Reset, and we are focusing on Stillness. We're learning how to use the ancient Prithvi (Earth) Mudra to signal deep stability to our nervous system. In This Episode: The Biology of the Anchor: How physical "seals" with the hands can lower your baseline anxiety. The Power of Prithvi: Understanding the "Earth Element" in ancient healing traditions. A Daily Message for Your Heart: Today, I want you to remember that you are the ground, not the grass. The grass grows and changes, but the ground remains. In this stillness, you don't have to 'do' a single thing to be worthy. You are allowed to be heavy. You are allowed to be silent. The world will keep spinning without your help for these few minutes. Just be the anchor.  This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Vagal Tone Reset: How to Recover from Stress 50% Faster" episodes 3507-3513.

Good morning! Let's create a little harmony today.  Today is Day 3 of our Vagal Tone Reset, and we are using the power of sound and breath to create Resonance. We're learning how the "Ocean Sigh Breath" can act as a physical massage for your heart and mind. In This Episode: The Vibration of Peace: How sound waves physically stimulate the Vagus nerve through the throat. Ancient Echoes: Why humming and chanting have been used for thousands of years to heal the spirit. The Ocean Sigh Practice: A guided 4-4-8 breathing technique to clear "future-anxiety." A Daily Message for Your Heart: We spend so much energy rehearsing for a future that hasn't happened yet, and it leaves our nervous systems feeling frayed and loud. Today, I want you to use your sigh to release the need to know what's coming next. You don't have to figure it all out in this breath. When you make that sound, imagine you are dropping a heavy suitcase you've been carrying for miles. You are allowed to be empty. You are allowed to be quiet. You are the music, not the noise. I am so honored to be in resonance with you today. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Vagal Tone Reset: How to Recover from Stress 50% Faster" episodes 3507-3513.

Good morning! Let's find your flow again.  Today is Day 2 of our Vagal Tone Reset, and we are focusing on the art of Fluidity. We're learning how to melt the physical "bracing" that happens when we've been under pressure for too long. In This Episode: The Freeze Response: Why stress makes our muscles stiff and our minds foggy. The Bridge of the Neck: Understanding the physical path of the Vagus nerve and how to clear it. The Neck Release Practice: A 5-minute somatic movement to trigger the "Vagal Melt." Your Daily Heartfelt Message: If you've been feeling a bit 'stuck' or heavy lately, please don't be hard on yourself. Your body isn't being lazy; it's being protective. It's been holding up a lot of weight for a long time. Today, I want you to give yourself permission to be 'liquid.' You don't have to be the pillar of strength every single second. You are allowed to soften. You are allowed to sway. As you move through your day, notice where you are 'bracing'—in your jaw, your shoulders, your walk—and just gently invite a little more flow. You are the river, and the river always finds its way home. I'm so glad we're flowing together."

Good morning, lovely soul. Let's look at the world a little differently today. Today, we begin our Vagal Tone Reset. We're starting with the "Social Engagement" branch of your Vagus nerve. This is the part of you that looks for connection and safety in the eyes of others and the environment around you. In This Episode: The Science of the Wanderer: Why the Vagus nerve is called "The Wanderer" and how it controls your heart rate. The Ancient Eye: Exploring how ancient seekers used "soft gaze" rituals to enter deep states of peace. The Eye-Shift Reset: A simple somatic movement to signal your brain that it is safe to connect. A DAILY MESSAGE FOR YOUR HEART: If you have felt 'disconnected' lately—from yourself, from your joy, or even from the people you love—please know that it might just be your nervous system trying to protect you. When our Vagal tone is low, we tend to pull back and hide. Today, as we do this work, I want you to feel the relief of coming back into the room. You don't have to 'try' to be social or 'try' to be happy. We are just going to gently wake up the nerves that allow you to feel safe enough to be you. You are a beautiful, vibrant soul, and it is safe to be seen. I'm right here with you."

A veteran walks into the clinic with a persistent migraine. Four minutes of vagal nerve stimulation later, the migraine is gone. This is not a one-off result. It is what Dr. Michael Hoffman has been observing for over seven years in the VA hospital system, using non-invasive devices he considers severely underutilized.Dr. Hoffman is a stroke and cognitive-behavioral neurologist who trained at Columbia University, spent 14 years in the VA system, and has evaluated an estimated 10,000 stroke patients across his career. He now practices at the University of Central Florida, where he integrates ketogenic nutrition, advanced imaging, vagal nerve stimulation, and hyperbaric oxygen into his neurological care.In this episode, Dr. Hoffman walks through what he calls the "five brain fitness rules," the specific, measurable lifestyle prescriptions he gives every patient, and explains why standard cognitive screening tools like the MoCA and Mini Mental miss the most dramatic behavioral syndromes caused by brain injury.He also discusses why PET scans and diffusion tensor imaging should be used far more often, and why post-TBI hormonal evaluation is critical but routinely overlooked.Questions Answered in This Episode:What are the five brain fitness rules every neurological patient should follow?Why do standard cognitive tests fail to detect some of the most severe brain injury syndromes?How is vagal nerve stimulation treating migraines, and why is it so underutilized outside the VA?What clinical changes would most improve neurological care today?Does the evidence support hyperbaric oxygen therapy for traumatic brain injury?Could fungal infections contribute to some long-standing Alzheimer's diagnoses?What is the surprising decade when your brain's cognitive function peaks?Dr. Hoffman makes a case that the gap between what we know about the brain and what we do in clinical practice has never been wider, and that closing it starts with giving clinicians the time and tools to actually examine their patients.Learn more about Dr. Hoffman on his website here.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here✅ Troscriptions – Get 10% off your first order with code METABOLICLINK here✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here✅ MudWtr – Get up to 43% off + free shipping and a free rechargeable frother with code METABOLICLINK hereIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

In this episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, I dive into the power of breath and its essential role in regulating our nervous system, especially for high performers. We explore why most of us aren't breathing optimally and how proper techniques can shift our bodies from survival mode into recovery and healing. I break down the science behind vagal tone, heart rate variability (HRV), and the crucial link between breath, inflammation control, and overall health.You'll learn about the top five evidence-supported breathing practices for boosting vagal tone, including slow nasal diaphragmatic breathing, resonance breathing, the 4-7-8 breath, box breathing, and the humming breath. I share the benefits, scientific evidence, and practical steps for each method, emphasizing how even just five minutes a day can create meaningful improvements in HRV, stress relief, and emotional regulation.Ready for a simple upgrade to your day? I challenge you to pick one breathing technique and practice it for five minutes daily over the next week. Notice how you feel by day three!

This week, we are joined by Holistic Integration's own Meghan Walton and Dr. Clinton Dodge to talk about the benefits of CranioSacral Therapy.  In this episode, you'll discover:—The conditions helped by CranioSacral Therapy, including:  Autism, Migraines, ADD/ADHD, Football Concussion trauma/CTE, pain, TMJ, sleep problems, hormonal imbalances, stomach issues, Vagal nerve issues, anxiety, depression, brain fog, and immune system support.—How the brain can actually change shape and can be damaged when the Cerebrospinal fluid is not moving correctly.  And how the brain can "actually regenerate" when the Cerebrospinal fluid flow is corrected.—Why the Cerebrospinal fluid is really important for "the healing of the nervous system” and protects the brain and spinal cord.  And how the Cerebrospinal fluid should flow through your body at a rate of six to twelve cycles a minute. —The history of CranioSacral Therapy and its roots in Osteopathy.  And how the development of CranioSacral Therapy helped to disprove the belief that the cranial bones are fused and no longer move after a certain age.—What the evaluation for CranioSacral Therapy and the treatment are like. —How the CranioSacral Therapy protocols are designed to put patients into a "healing brainwave state" for the brain that activates brainwaves that are also associated with sleep. —Why being in a "fight or flight" sympathetic nervous system mode will impede the flow of Cerebrospinal fluid and cause us to hold tension in our bodies that sometimes we aren't even aware of.—How patients say CranioSacral Therapy leaves them feeling "relaxed" and "renewed".  And how CranioSacral Therapy sometimes can even result in an emotional release. —The way CranioSacral Therapy and Chiropractic care work together to promote proper Cerebrospinal fluid flow.—The story of a Dentist who has experienced CranioSacral Therapy at Holistic Integration and found it to be "cathartic" and "freeing".http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

Où l'on parle de malaise vagal, mais aussi de The Pitt.

This month's insomnia episode explores a provocative idea: can certain electronics actually help insomnia rather than harm it? While screens and devices are often blamed for poor sleep, some technologies aim to calm the nervous system, teach self-regulation, or reduce the anxiety that keeps insomnia going. In this episode we will:• Revisit the parasympathetic nervous system, the vagus nerve, and why the “wandering nerve” has fascinated medicine for centuries • Review the data for non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation and devices like Truvaga: what the research shows, what remains unclear, and whether stimulation truly reaches the vagus nerve • Undwerstand how implantable vagus nerve stimulators for epilepsy differ from consumer wellness devices, and why that matters for insomnia • Introduce the Muse Athena and the shift from passive neuromodulation to learning an active calming skill • Unpack what we know so far about the data behind Muse devices and insomnia • Consider Pavlok and behavioral technology: reducing anxiety around waking, oversleeping, and morning routines • Learn how to think about sleep tech without falling into orthosomnia or gadget-driven sleep anxietyProduced by: Maeve WinterMore Twitter: @drchriswinter IG: @drchriwinter Threads: @drchriswinter Bluesky: @drchriswinter The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child Thanks for listening and sleep well!

I think that this is an important time to pause and relook at Polyvagal Theory before continuing with Beyond Behaviors. Polyvagal Theory: Current Status, Clinical Applications, and Future Directions (Porges, S. 2025) "Social behavior and the capacity to manage challenge are dependent on the neural regulation of physiological state." S. Porges   When I dove into Stephen Porges's 2025 review of the Polyvagal Theory (PVT), I felt like I'd stepped into a crossroads where neurobiology, clinical practice, trauma science, and human experience collide. This paper isn't merely a summary of three decades of work (all of which I have read); it's a spirited defense of a paradigm that's been both celebrated (by me) and contested (by others). What follows is an honest appraisal of what the article teaches us, where it sparks real insight, and where it may fall short, especially through the lens of evidence-based medicine and developmental neurophysiology. (I also went deeper into his 2022 paper in Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience for the biophysiology of the ANS) At its heart, the article argues that the autonomic nervous system (ANS), through a set of hierarchically organized circuits centered on the vagus nerve, is not just a background player in stress and homeostasis, but a core regulator of social engagement, physiological flexibility, and behavior. Dr. Porges situates his theory as an alternative and expansion to classical views that treat sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) branches as functional opposites. Instead, he proposes a three-component hierarchy: the ventral vagal complex (VVC) supporting social engagement, a mobilization circuit mediated by the sympathetic nervous system or fight or flight state, and a dorsal vagal circuit that facilitates shutdown or immobilization under extreme threat..... Enjoy, Dr. M

In this powerful live conversation from the Rise & Flourish event, guest host Danielle Neufeld sits down with Brooke Musial, founder of Musical Breathwork, to explore how our bodies are instruments of intuition — and how sound, breath, and play can help us move through fear, find flow, and reconnect to joy.Brooke shares her philosophy of embodied intuition, explaining how the body's electromagnetic field, breath rhythm, and vagal tone shape the way we experience life. She reminds us that something as simple as singing while doing the dishes can regulate the nervous system, boost mood, and bring us back to presence.This episode is a soulful reminder that healing doesn't have to be heavy — it can sound like laughter, movement, and song.✨ Topics we cover:-The body as an instrument of intuition-How fear creates stagnation (in body and life)-Singing as nervous system regulation-Simple breathwork for emotional balance-Vagal nerve stimulation through sound-The power of play

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah E. Hill, PhD, whose research has completely changed the way I think about hormones and how they shape our day to day lives. I wanted to bring her on because she has a gift for taking complex science and turning it into tools that actually make sense in real life. We get into how our hormones influence the brain, what really happens when birth control enters the picture, and why mood, cravings, energy, and even relationships can shift across the month. We also touch on practical ways to eat, train, and live in sync with your cycle, plus simple changes that can make everything from PMS to performance feel more manageable.

Quinn unpacks how the nervous system asks one question all day—Am I safe?—and why fight/flight/freeze/fawn are wise survival patterns (not personal failures). You'll learn fast, gentle regulation tools (physiological sigh, orienting, butterfly hug, vagal “voo”/humming), see them in action via pop-culture and literature examples, and leave with a 7-day plan to widen your window of tolerance. The aim: move from bracing for impact to breathing easier—then building a calmer, safer life you actually enjoy living in.What You'll LearnEmbodiment = biology: Your body is a home to be tended, not a problem to fix (Hillary McBride).Survival patterns are smart: Fight/flight/freeze/fawn kept you safe; now we teach your body new safety.Complete the stress cycle: Don't power through—release (Levine): breathe, shake, sigh, settle.Co-regulation matters: Calm spreads person-to-person (think Ted Lasso).Fast Practices (Try Today)Physiological sigh (20–30s): Inhale → tiny top-up inhale → long slow exhale (2–3x).Orienting (30–60s): Turn head, name 5 things you see, 4 touch, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste.Butterfly hug (60s): Cross arms, alternate taps L/R while breathing slowly.Vagal “voo” or hum (45s): Inhale, long chest-vibrating “voo” (or hum) 2–3x.Pop Culture & Lit MirrorsInside Out 2: Anxiety tries to control everything → name it, breathe, integrate (not exile).Ted Lasso: Panic softens via breath + safe people (co-regulation).The Bear: Unfinished cycles = alarms (tight jaw, shallow breath); the body keeps score.Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God: Janie's embodied “yes/no” as sovereignty.Mary Oliver, “Wild Geese”: “Let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”Mini Playbook for Divorced LifeText from ex detonates: 1 physiological sigh + orient; reply later from safety.First date freeze: Bathroom → butterfly hug 60s → decide from regulation.Co-parenting flare: Hand to heart + “voo” twice → This is my boundary. Lonely Saturday: 5-minute sensory walk → call a safe friend/pet time.7-Day Nervous System PlanMorning (1 min): Physiological sigh ×3 or butterfly hug.Mid-day (30s): Orienting—name 5 things you see.Evening (2 min): Gentle shake-out + humming/“voo.”Connection (3 min): Text/call a safe friend or sit quietly with a pet.Boundary rep (one line): “I'll need to think about that and get back to you.”Quotable“Our bodies are not problems to be solved; they are homes to be tended.” — Hillary McBride“Trauma isn't in the event, it's in the nervous system.” — inspired by Peter Levine“You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” — Mary OliverResources MentionedHillary McBride — The Wisdom of Your BodyPeter Levine — Waking the Tiger (Somatic Experiencing)Deirdre Fay — Becoming Safely EmbodiedContent NoteMentions of religious conditioning, sexual coercion, panic/anxiety.

If you've ever wondered why your body suddenly feels like it's changing the rules, hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, and all, this one's for you. Perimenopause can feel confusing and even a little isolating, but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, I'm sitting down with my dear friend and hormone expert Dr. Mariza Snyder, who's helping women everywhere see this season of life in a whole new light. She's breaking down what's actually happening in our bodies and how we can work with those changes instead of fighting against them.   Dr. Mariza has spent nearly two decades helping women understand their hormones, and she has such a beautiful way of making it all make sense. We talk through the stages of perimenopause, the shifts that happen along the way, and what your body's trying to tell you through all of it. She also shares her top go-to practices, simple, doable things that make a real difference when it comes to energy, mood, and metabolism.   Your body isn't broken; it's evolving. Tune in for a heartfelt and empowering talk with Dr. Mariza, plus a peek into her upcoming book, The Perimenopause Revolution (coming October 2025). You'll walk away feeling seen, supported, and ready to take charge of your health with a little more grace and a lot more confidence.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction. [00:02:54] Perimenopause as a transition. [00:04:31] Perimenopause as a window of opportunity. [00:08:43] Late reproductive stage transitions. [00:10:59] Hormonal changes in perimenopause. [00:15:51] Adrenal fatigue and lifestyle changes. [00:18:02] Metabolic health during perimenopause. [00:21:28] Healing mindset and self-care. [00:25:45] Vagal tone and parasympathetic regulation. [00:28:30] Embracing perimenopause as opportunity. [00:34:56] Wisdom for your journey.   Memorable Quotes: "The more that we understand and we can connect the dots between our symptoms and this being a profound shift, we can enable ourselves to move through this without suffering, with feeling more empowered."

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the latest approaches to healing your body from mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and other complex, chronic health conditions. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan.  Neil Nathan, MD has been practicing medicine for over 50 years and has been Board Certified in Family Practice and Pain Management and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and a Founding Diplomate of ISEAI. He has written several books, including "Healing is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses" and "On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks."  He has been working to bring an awareness that mold toxicity is a major contributing factor for patients with chronic illness and lectures internationally on this subject which led to the publication of his eBook, "Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment, 2016" (now updated to 2022), and then to his best-selling book "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Chronic Environmental Illness."  2021 saw the publication of "Energetic Diagnosis," a discussion of the value of intuition and energetic devices as an aid to both diagnosis and treatment of medical illness.  In 2024, his book "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide" was released with a focus on how to approach the treatment of sensitive patients.  And most recently, in late 2025, the second edition of his book "Toxic" was released with several years of new information and insights on healing from complex chronic conditions.  Dr. Nathan has been treating chronic complex medical illnesses for 30 years now, and Lyme disease for the past 20 years.  As his practice has evolved, he finds himself increasingly treating the patients who have become so sensitive and toxic that they can no longer tolerate their usual treatments, and his major current interest is in finding unique ways of helping them to recover. Key Takeaways: Is Long COVID the Great Unmasker? Is POTS an underlying cause or is it a symptom? How might the Radiance Long Hauler testing be helpful? What supplements or botanicals may be helpful for those in a Cell Danger Response? Are hormones generally well-tolerated when one is in a Cell Danger Response? When might be the right time to introduce PC?  VIP? What are the more common sensitizers of a sensitive patient? What are the more common drivers of MCAS? What are some strategies for modulating the inflammatory response? Is MCS the same as MCAS? Should limbic retraining be more active? How often are mycotoxins seen in patients with Alzheimer's? Does HLA-DR impact a patient's recovery potential? How do you handle a suspected mold illness patient when their urine mycotoxin testing is negative? What is the best binder for mycophenolic acid?  Chaetoglobosin? Do the benefits of bentonite clay outweigh the potential risks? What is the source of gliotoxin in the body? How is the treatment of fungal colonization approached? What role have Actinobacteria and endotoxins played in treating patients? Can Bartonella be treated with natural antimicrobials alone? Does treating mold and Lyme improve EDS? Can secondary porphyria be an indication that the antimicrobial is working? What is the role of EMFs in chronic illness? How large of a factor are parasites? Do mold and Lyme contribute to ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, autism, and PANS/PANDAS? What is the role of nitric oxide in recovering health?

Episode 3140: Dr. Neal Malik answers Maureen's question by unpacking the importance of vagal tone, the activity of the vagus nerve, which helps regulate stress, digestion, and immune function. Although vagal tone can't be directly measured, practices like deep breathing, meditation, and even singing may enhance its function and support faster recovery from stress. Quotes to ponder: "Vagal tone is all about how active or inactive the vagus nerve is when sending signals to the body and brain." "One potential advantage to having a highly active vagus nerve is a faster recovery from stressful situations." "Even though vagal tone really can't be measured accurately, there are some conditions associated with an abnormal vagal tone." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Quotes to ponder: "Vagal tone is all about how active or inactive the vagus nerve is when sending signals to the body and brain." "One potential advantage to having a highly active vagus nerve is a faster recovery from stressful situations." "Even though vagal tone really can't be measured accurately, there are some conditions associated with an abnormal vagal tone." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
