Savaş ve ev içi şiddet örnekleri üzerinden, insanların neden bazen “mantıksız” görünen davranışlar sergilediğini, bunun travmatize ve donmuş bir sinir sistemiyle ilişkili olabileceğini açıklıyor. Şifalanmanın temelinde emniyet hissi ve sosyal bağların yer aldığını vurguluyor; depresyonu da dorsal vagal kapanma haliyle ilişkilendirerek bölümü kısa egzersizler ve nefes temelli meditasyonla tamamlıyor.

Vagus nerve stimulators are the trending new device for migraines. FDA-cleared, handheld, marketed as a breakthrough. Sounds promising, right? But if you're wondering whether adding one more device to your migraine toolkit will finally be the answer, or if it's just another expensive band-aid, this episode breaks down what you need to know. You'll learn what the vagus nerve actually does (it powers your entire digestive tract, heart, lungs, and all your internal organs), how these devices work by adding electrical voltage to the nerve, and why they help some people but not others. The truth is this: Stimulating the nerve without addressing the root cause is like putting a band-aid on a cut that keeps reopening. If you're looking for the one thing that will finally crack the case, these devices won't be it. But if you're ready to address all three principles and understand why your body lost its resilience in the first place, this episode will show you the bigger picture. If you're experiencing 8+ migraine days per month and ready to address the root cause instead of just managing symptoms, schedule a free consultation below: https://www.drlesliecisar.com/apply Free Training: 5 Proven Steps to Being Migraine Free (Even if you think you've already tried everything.) https://www.drlesliecisar.com/5SHMN Connect with us: Website: https://www.drlesliecisar.com/ Free Facebook Group: Healing Migraines Naturally, with Leslie Cisar, ND Ready to try something radically different that actually works?

Dr. Carol shares a case of Meige (MEIGE) syndrome involving severe facial muscle spasticity and involuntary eye closure triggered by speaking, plus light sensitivity, absent gag reflex (partially restored after chiropractic care), elevated shoulders, and a history of extreme stress and childhood abuse. After identifying likely involvement of cranial nerve VII and structures associated with the pons, vagus, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and medulla, they describe an evolving FSM strategy: running protocols such as concussion and vagus/vagal tone, pons repair, increasing secretions in the pons, and "quieting" the basal ganglia and cerebellum (including noting 40/988 for quieting basal ganglia). They discuss searching neurotransmitters of the pons (acetylcholine, GABA, serotonin, norepinephrine), emphasizing inhibitory support via GABA and serotonin, supplementing with chewable GABA and later ordering 5-HTP, and the concept that using "increase secretions" can require providing precursors/substrate to avoid depletion. They also add emotional frequencies for fear/terror and note functional changes across two days, including relaxed facial muscles and improved blinking and speech-related eye control, then send the patient home with a five-hour nighttime program and a loaner device, with follow-up planned. The conversation also covers patient education, expectations and management with CustomCare devices, tracking outcomes with metrics like range of motion and confidence.

In this episode of What Happens in Vagus, Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with Leigh Ann Lindsey, founder of The Accrescent and creator of Healing Alchemy, to explore the powerful connection between the unconscious mind, emotional patterns, and physical illness. Leigh Ann shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with breast cancer at 25 and how that experience led her to discover and ultimately dedicate her work to EVOX therapy, a modality focused on the emotional and energetic contributors to illness.Leigh Ann breaks down what EVOX therapy actually is, explaining how voice mapping identifies imbalanced emotions through vocal tones and how biofeedback frequencies help regulate the nervous system and support emotional release. She discusses why nervous system regulation is critical when working through trauma and chronic illness, and why talk therapy alone can sometimes feel slow or incomplete when the body remains in a stress response.The conversation dives deep into unconscious narratives, safety, and how early life experiences can shape belief systems that quietly run our behaviours, health patterns, and even our ability to heal. Leigh Ann explains how unmetabolized emotions, looping thought patterns, and displaced pain can manifest as illness, and why healing requires more than positive thinking or affirmations. Together, they explore how illness can sometimes serve as a messenger or coping mechanism, offering insight into what the body and psyche may be asking for beneath the surface.Throughout the episode, Leigh Ann emphasizes a “no stone unturned” approach to healing, blending EVOX therapy with depth psychology to help clients move through emotional blockages, rewire old neural pathways, and create a sense of safety within the body. She also shares how her Healing Alchemy membership and resources make this work more accessible for people navigating cancer, chronic illness, and long-standing emotional patterns.This episode offers a compassionate, grounded, and deeply insightful look at healing that honors the mind, body, and spirit as an integrated whole.Find Leigh Ann Lindsey on instagram hereLet us know your thoughts on this episode hereFor any further information, feel free to email us at info@vagusclinic.com.

In the fourth episode of our series, “The Art of Arrival,” Coach Kaila shifts our focus from clearing the obstacles to actively populating our lives with light. We dive into the world of “Glimmers”—those micro-moments of safety and connection that signal to our nervous system that the “war” is over and we are safe to arrive. We explore the profound biology of laughter, looking at how it acts as a physical “circuit breaker” for stress by vibrating the Vagus nerve and forcing a deep, restorative exhale. Coach Kaila compares the uninhibited, 300-laughs-a-day nature of a child to the restricted “15-20 laughs” of the adult “Producer” identity, inviting us to reclaim the child's tool of sensory play. You will learn how to “tune your internal radio” to the frequency of delight through sensory layering, titration, and the creation of a Somatic Glimmer Library. This episode is an invitation to move from being a visitor in happiness to becoming a permanent resident of your own play and peace. Weekly Homework & Action Steps: The Glimmer Log: Find three micro-glimmers every day this week. They must be small, sensory, and take less than 10 seconds to notice. When you find one, take 30 seconds to “soak” in the sensation to catalog it in your nervous system. Journaling Prompt: What is the most “child-like” or “pointless” thing I did this week, and how did my body physically feel during and after that moment of play? Affirmation: “I am a Glimmer Hunter. I am safe to play, I am worthy of laughter, and I am arriving in the light every single day.” Connect with Coach Kaila: Visit our website for more resources: Creative Guidance LLC If this episode resonated with you, consider Supporting the show: Buy Me a Coffee

In this episode of the What Happens in Vagus podcast, Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with nurse Emma Robertson to explore her journey from high functioning perfectionism to a full nervous system crash and eventual recovery. With a background in human anatomy and frontline healthcare, Emma shares both the clinical and deeply personal realities of living with dysautonomia and chronic nervous system dysregulation.Emma's symptoms began after graduating university and starting an intense nursing job that left her overworked, under fueled, and ignoring early warning signs like gut issues, rashes, and anxiety. Over time, a combination of stress, restrictive eating, nutrient depletion, and environmental and immune stressors pushed her system past its limit, leading to a sudden and frightening escalation of symptoms.She describes experiencing hyperadrenergic POTS, heart rhythm disturbances, constant panic, severe digestive dysfunction, blood sugar crashes, insomnia, dizziness, and exercise and heat intolerance. Many of her symptoms were misattributed to anxiety, leaving her feeling hijacked by her own body.Emma and Dr. Canestraro discuss the tools that supported her healing, including adequate nutrition, frequent meals, electrolytes, binders, gentle movement, lymphatic support, nervous system regulation, and mindset shifts rooted in safety and trust. Emma also shares what did not help, including extreme diets, fasting, and electrical vagal nerve stimulation, which worsened her symptoms.This episode offers insight, validation, and hope for anyone navigating dysautonomia, chronic illness, or nervous system overload, and emphasizes that healing often begins by slowing down, nourishing the body, and learning to listen to its signals.Let us know your thoughts on this episode hereFor any further information, feel free to email us at info@vagusclinic.com.

In this episode, we diagnose why most high-performers are trying to run enterprise-level software on fried hardware. The "Spirit of the Deal" isn't about finding your inner peace; it's about system maintenance. We are bridging the gap between the boardroom and biology. If your nervous system is screaming "unsafe" during a negotiation, your prospect will feel the friction, no matter how polished your script is. Your biology is the bottleneck, not your strategy.

From mirror neurons and oxytocin to vagus nerve activation and the power of clinician belief, she explains how community and medicine accelerates remission—then previews UnabridgedMD's upcoming physician-led healing cohorts.What You'll Learn:From competition to collaboration: How traditional, competitive medical training contrasts with the superior outcomes of team-based care—and why adding patients to the care team elevates results.The brain science of group healingMirror neurons: observing others practice skills (e.g., injections, PT) improves your own learning and adherence.Oxytocin up, cortisol down: group practices (breath, chant, yoga) boost bonding hormones and reduce stress chemistry—fertile ground for recovery.Vagus nerve / parasympathetic activation: group rituals nudge the nervous system into “rest-and-repair,” lowering inflammation.Placebo power, reframed: Why clinician belief and a supportive cohort measurably enhance outcomes (a reason trials are double-blind)—and how to harness that effect ethically.Mindset shapes pain: Attention directs perception; scanning for what's working reduces pain. Group programs for chronic pain (e.g., back pain) consistently show greater relief and fewer relapses than going solo.Medication and milieu: Biologics and DMARDs are powerful tools, but outcomes improve further when paired with community practices that activate anti-inflammatory pathways.Safety, accountability, momentum: Groups create a psychologically safe space to try new habits, show up consistently, and stay on track—especially valuable in rheumatologic conditions.What's next at UnabridgedMD: A webinar and physician-led community cohorts designed to help patients reach and sustain remission through evidence-based medical care plus group-based nervous-system and lifestyle practices.If a trusted group could help you heal 25–40% faster, what habit or symptom would you choose to transform first?

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today's conversation is with Kim and Holly from CFT Global, the leaders carrying forward Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, a modality that blends craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and oral-structural work into one unified system.We explore why fascia is not just connective tissue, but an intelligent communication network that holds tension, trauma, and adaptation patterns. From infants struggling after birth, to adults with migraines, brain fog, concussions, and chronic stress, CFT works by restoring movement—movement of the cranial bones, movement of cerebrospinal fluid, and movement of the nervous system back toward safety.What struck me most is this: CFT doesn't force the body to heal. It listens. By following the body's innate wisdom, the nervous system shifts into parasympathetic regulation, allowing digestion, detoxification, emotional processing, and cognition to improve naturally. This episode is a deep dive into why healing is not about doing more, but about creating the conditions where the body can finally do what it already knows how to do.Episode Highlights[00:00] – Craniosynostosis, infant skulls, and why cranial plates must move for brain growth[02:16] – What Craniosacral Fascial Therapy actually is (and how it's different from CST)[04:11] – Cognitive clarity, emotional shifts, and whole-body effects of fascial release[06:34] – The origins of CFT: osteopathy, myofascial release, and oral structures[08:29] – Why head pressure persists even when labs “look normal”[10:12] – Tongue ties, airway dysfunction, and the overlooked craniodental system[13:29] – Weston Price, epigenetics, and how modern environments reshape facial structure[17:27] – Why releasing a tongue tie without bodywork can create new problems[23:10] – Are cranial bones really fused? Debunking a long-held medical myth[25:48] – Understanding the “brain cycle” and what zero brain motion means[31:23] – Vagus nerve regulation and parasympathetic healing through CFT[39:41] – Fascia as an organ system and what dissection reveals about the body[41:36] – Adhesions, scars, and how gentle work restores visceral movement[47:26] – Concussions, CTE, and why unresolved cranial strain matters long-term[50:57] – Why CFT is still unknown—and why that's starting to change[01:01:36] – Emotional releases, stored trauma, and the body's ability to unwind[01:04:34] – What infants teach us about nervous system regulation (no placebo required)Links & ResourcesCFT Global Website & Trainings: https://craniosacralfascialtherapy.comKim and Holly's  Instagram: @cftgillespieapproachBeam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1— Code: beautifullybroken   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Many people today describe a pattern they cannot explain. Life feels manageable until something unexpected happens at work or home, then the body suddenly shuts down. The mind spins, energy collapses, irritability rises, and the only thing that feels safe is withdrawing into the couch, the phone, or Netflix. This is not laziness or burnout. This is functional freeze. In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with environmental and root cause medicine expert Dr. Jessica Peatross (Dr. Jess) to reveal why so many people experience chronic fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, histamine reactions, food sensitivities and unexplained inflammation even when routine labs look normal.Instead of chasing symptoms or isolated toxins, Dr. Jess explains how a dysregulated nervous system alters detox, hormones, digestion, immunity and gene expression. She breaks down how trauma, mold exposure, hidden infections, parasites and environmental chemicals overload the body when the vagus nerve is stuck in fight, flight or freeze. And she shows why healing is impossible when the body does not feel safe.From childhood trauma and dorsal vagal shutdown to blocked drainage pathways, cytokine storms, reactivated viruses and misdiagnosed environmental illness, this episode reframes chronic symptoms through a lens of nervous system physiology, not personal weakness or aging.You will learn what functional freeze looks like, why detox often makes people worse, how to identify nervous system dysregulation, and the steps Dr. Jess uses to help patients regulate, open pathways and finally begin to heal. Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Jess outline a clear, compassionate roadmap for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed or stuck in a body that will not calm down.Dr. Taz and Dr. Jess discuss: • What functional freeze is and why it shows up in daily life • How nervous system dysregulation drives fatigue, anxiety and chronic symptoms • The role of mold, parasites, toxins and environmental chemicals in chronic illness • Why detox fails when the body does not feel safe • Vagus nerve physiology and dorsal vs ventral vagal states • How trauma, stress and grief reshape hormones, immune function and methylation • Medical dismissal and the reality of normal labs with real symptoms • The drainage pathways that must open before detox • Histamine issues, MCAS, POTS and their connection to the nervous system • Tools that help regulate the system and support healing • How to track progress through sleep, HRV, emotional stability and digestion • Why healing is not linear and why support and community matterAbout Dr. Jessica Peatross Dr. Jessica Peatross  is a functional and environmental medicine expert known for her work on nervous system dysregulation, toxin-driven illness and trauma informed detox. She is the founder of WellnessPlus, an educational platform teaching step-by-step protocols for mold, parasites, drainage and nervous system healing.

Congratulations on reaching Day 7 of creating your own inner authority and calm. When you intentionally slow your breath, relax your posture, or force yourself to smile (a biological signal of safety), you activate the Vagus nerve. This activation sends a massive inhibitory signal to the amygdala and other stress centers, effectively dampening your panic response. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm. If you've ever felt your energy drain away in a stressful situation, if your hands shake before a presentation, or if you struggle to maintain focus under pressure, this series is for you. We often try to solve problems of confidence and anxiety with our thoughts—we argue with our inner critic, we try to logically reason our way into feeling secure. But the ancient Romans understood a profound truth: Your body is the source of your authority. The Roman Empire was built on more than just discipline; it was built on an embodied presence that they called Gravitas—a personal weight, seriousness, and undeniable importance. This journey is a practical masterclass in self-command. By the end of this series, you won't just feel more confident—you will have a physical, repeatable, and accessible code to embody that confidence whenever you need it. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm," episodes 3416-3422. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Intentional Micro-Posturing Quest: Check your posture, adjust your shoulders, back, relax your jaw, and hold the Gaze of Authority (steady, calm eye contact). This challenge forces you to consciously apply the Roman techniques in low-stakes situations, building the neural pathways for Embodied Power to become automatic. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Dignity Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I command my presence and own my peace." Day 3:  Praetor's Pause Day 4:  Ganesha mudra for overcoming obstacles Day 5:  Seventh Chakra for Interconnectedness Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

A HOLY MESS - Keeping It Real! Hope, Peace & Encouragement! Biblical Truth, Hear From God, Christian Mental Health, Christian

Ever feel like you've tried EVERYTHING—therapy, retreats, prayer meetings, all the books—but you're still struggling? This episode reveals what might be the missing piece: integrating your body into the healing process. Dani and Jim introduce The Third Act, a personalized coaching program that helps you birth the authentic essence of who you were created to be. It's not just about your past or present—it's about building the future you deserve. The Three Acts of Life ACT ONE: Formation The experiences that shaped you—childhood, relationships, choices made for you. The conditioning that formed your reactions to life. ACT TWO: The Awakening Waking up to patterns, hurt, and wrong turns. Many of us stay stuck here in coping mechanisms. (And that's okay—there's work to do.) ACT THREE: Coming Home Birthing the truest essence of who you are. Making peace with your past AND future. Integrating body, mind, and soul to become who you were always meant to be. Why Your Body Matters You are a triune being: Body, mind, and soul—one integrated whole made in God's image. The problem: We've abandoned our bodies because life abandoned us. We've become over-thinkers because we're under-feelers. Christian culture taught us to shame the flesh, but Jesus came in flesh and blood. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit—it deserves honor and integration. The science: Trauma is encoded chemically and electrically in your body. Your nervous system holds experiences even when your mind doesn't. You can't think your way out of what's stored in your body. What The Third Act Includes 30-50 personalized practices (you choose what works for YOU): Movement & dance practices Self-soothing techniques (child hug, breathwork) Vagus nerve regulation Visualization & future-self anchoring StrengthsFinder assessment Body-mind-soul integration work Simple practice to try now—The Child Hug: Right hand in left armpit, left hand on right shoulder Sway gently and breathe Say: "I'm not leaving you. I'm here with you." Who This Is For ✓ You've tried everything but still struggle ✓ You're hijacked by anxiety, anger, or reactive patterns ✓ You know there's MORE but don't know how to access it ✓ You're an over-thinker who's actually an under-feeler ✓ You want to make peace with your body, not war with it ✓ You love Jesus but feel lost Real talk: 90% of Dani's clients have never had a coach before. You're in good company. The Goal: Future You That peaceful, integrated version of you 10 years from now? She already exists in God's hand. The Third Act helps you anchor to your future self and build the bridge from here to there. Success looks like: Moving through a trigger in 3 minutes instead of being stuck for days. The goal isn't to never be triggered—it's to feel it, honor it, release it, and move forward.

Nicotine isn't just addictive—it might be one of the most misunderstood nootropics in modern medicine. In this masterclass, you'll learn how controlled, low-dose nicotine may enhance brain performance, boost neuroplasticity, improve mitochondrial function, and potentially extend lifespan. Host Dave Asprey breaks down the surprising science behind this controversial compound, separating fact from fear—and exposing the real risks that nobody talks about. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR You'll discover how nicotine affects neurotransmitters, why it may help with ADHD and focus, and how it compares to other cognitive enhancers like caffeine, nootropics, and even smart drugs. Dave explores how nicotine can be used to hack metabolism, enhance sleep optimization, and support fasting or ketosis protocols—if used properly. He also reveals the forms of nicotine that are safest (spoiler: it's not vapes or cigarettes), how nicotine works at the receptor level, and what the science says about long-term health effects. This episode blends functional medicine, brain optimization, and biohacking into one powerful, myth-busting breakdown. You'll Learn: • How nicotine affects mitochondria, neurotransmitters, and dopamine signaling • Why nicotine may boost neuroplasticity, memory, and attention span • How low-dose nicotine compares to caffeine, modafinil, and other nootropics • The safest delivery forms (and the ones to avoid) • Whether nicotine supports or hinders longevity and cognitive resilience • How it can be stacked with supplements, fasting, or ketosis • What functional medicine says about chronic use, addiction, and withdrawal This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, human performance, and longevity, and for those who want to understand how functional biology and mitochondrial science are redefining recovery, energy, and aging. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Gravity may be the most ignored signal in human biology, and it could be the missing key to unlocking fat loss, brain optimization, and true longevity. In this episode, you'll learn how Earth's pull shapes your metabolism, mood, and resilience, and discover practical hacks to fight “gravity intolerance” so you can perform better, live longer, and upgrade every system in your body. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Brennan Spiegel, a Professor of Medicine and Public Health at UCLA, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai, and author of Pull: How Gravity Shapes Your Body, Steadies the Mind, and Guides Our Health. A leading voice in digital health and immersive medicine, Dr. Spiegel brings decades of clinical and research experience exploring the intersection of the gut-brain axis, neuropsychology, and mind-body medicine. In this episode, he reveals why gravity influences everything from gut health to depression — and why modern medicine has largely ignored its role. His work bridges functional medicine, neuroscience, and biohacking to uncover a hidden force that shapes human performance at every level. You'll Learn: • Why gravity is the most ignored biohacking signal in human health • How gravity intolerance shows up as back pain, fatigue, obesity, and depression • The surprising connection between gravity, serotonin, and mood regulation • How weighted vests, balance boards, and proprioception training hack graviception • Why sleep optimization, posture, and fascia resilience are gravity-based health tools • How Earth's pull influences gut health, metabolism, and even consciousness You'll learn how gravity connects to obesity, back pain, blood pressure, serotonin, and even consciousness. Dave and Dr. Spiegel explore how weighted vests, balance boards, vibration, and sleep optimization can hack your body's response to gravity.
