Heal the silent conversation between your mind and your body in just 10 minutes.In this episode of Calming Anxiety, we journey inward to explore the "Gut-Brain Revolution"—a soothing session designed to relax the Vagus Nerve and plant seeds of calmness in your inner garden. We often treat our minds and bodies as separate, but they are constantly communicating. This guided meditation gently unties the knots of worry in your stomach and helps you digest life with ease.In this session, you will experience:Vagus Nerve Activation: Deep belly breathing to signal safety to your brainstem and lower heart rate.Somatic Release: A guided visualization to melt tension from the solar plexus and "second brain".Inner Garden Visualization: Restore your microbiome and inner world with healing imagery of nature and symbiosis.Gut-Health Affirmations: Powerful statements to harmonize your digestion and intuition, such as "I trust my gut to guide me" and "As I heal my body, I calm my mind".Whether you are struggling with anxiety, digestive stress, or simply the rush of the world, this is your safe space to rest and digest.Support the Podcast: If you found peace in this session, please consider sharing it with a friend or colleague who needs a little calm today. Leaving a review helps others find this safe space.

Are you ready to power down? You've managed your light exposure, timed your caffeine, and optimized your environment. Now, the calculation phase ends, and the surrender begins.In this episode of Calming Anxiety, we move beyond standard relaxation into Sleep Maxxing—a guided protocol designed to manually switch your operating system from sympathetic (fight or flight) to parasympathetic (rest and digest).In this 10-minute deep recovery session, you will:Activate the Vagus Nerve: Utilize a specific 4-6 nasal breathing cadence to increase Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and seal energy leaks.Trigger the Glymphatic Flush: Visualize the brain's "nightly rinse cycle" clearing out metabolic waste and adenosine buildup.Optimize Thermoregulation: Signal the hypothalamus to initiate hibernation by visualizing a core body temperature drop.Overcome Orthosomnia: Learn to let go of sleep tracker anxiety (Oura/Whoop scores) and trust your body's ancient biological wisdom.Access Delta Waves: Drift toward the slow, high-amplitude waves where growth hormone is released and tissue repair occurs.This is not just sleep; this is high-efficiency biological recovery. Whether you are a biohacker or just someone looking to quiet a busy mind, this session is your off-switch."If this session helped you find that quiet place where rest finally feels possible, please remember: you are worthy of this peace every single night. If you know someone who is carrying too much weight on their shoulders, share this episode with them—sometimes the greatest gift we can give is the permission to rest. Sweet dreams, and take care of yourself."

Your vagus nerve is the most underrated driver of your metabolism, hormones, digestion, inflammation, and stress resilience — especially in midlife. And if you've been stuck in "fight or flight" for years (hello, athletes, Type-A performers, and burnt-out high achievers), this episode is the missing link in your healing and fat-loss journey. In this deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie walks you through the real mechanisms behind vagus nerve dysfunction, why so many middle age men and women experience "vagal toxicity," and how suppressed vagal tone shuts down fat-burning, slows thyroid conversion (T4 → T3), increases inflammation, disrupts digestion, and tanks HRV. You'll also hear Debbie's personal case study — connecting her GI-MAP results, MEScreen mitochondrial findings, HRV data, LF/HF ratios, blood chemistry patterns, and real-time tracking using SweetBeat Life to show what chronic sympathetic dominance actually looks like inside the body. Then we explore VNS (vagus nerve stimulation) therapy, how it works, why the research is exploding, and exactly how Debbie is using Pulsetto daily to retrain her nervous system and restore metabolic flexibility. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: • Why vagus nerve dysfunction blocks T3 from entering your cells • How LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid & sluggish bile suppress vagal tone • The "freeze mode" most midlife women don't know they're in • HRV, LF/HF, and what your nervous system is really telling you • How chronic sympathetic stress shuts down fat-burning • Why VNS is becoming a game-changer for digestion, sleep, thyroid & metabolism • Debbie's daily Pulsetto protocol + what changed in her data • How to rebuild your vagal tone and create a stronger FutureYou PULSETTO VNS (Debbie's Favorite Tool for Stress Reset): Strengthen your vagus nerve, improve HRV, and calm your stress response — anytime, anywhere.

Stop the racing mind by talking directly to your body. Today, we perform a Vagus Nerve Reset.We often try to think our way out of stress, but when your body is tense, your brain has no choice but to produce anxious thoughts. In this episode, Martyn guides you through a powerful sound vibration technique ("The Voo Sound") that physically shakes tension out of your system and lowers cortisol levels immediately.Listen to this episode to:Manually engage your body's "brake pedal" for stress.Perform a guided biological reset in under 10 minutes.Experience the "Orienting" technique to ground yourself in the present moment.You don't have to live in overdrive.

In this episode, we'll be exploring the ins and outs of trauma—a more inclusive definition of what trauma is, how it occurs, why it gets stored in the body, and the stages we must move through in order to release it. We'll also discuss the very likely possibility, based on new understandings of trauma physiology, that most (if not all) of us have unresolved trauma stored in the body and how our most limiting patterns, behaviors, habits, and beliefs might actually be symptoms of unresolved trauma rather than personality quirks.Sources + ResourcesResourcesMy Brain Rewired: Rewire Your Brain with the Power of Neuroplasticity (website)BooksThe Biology of Trauma* by Dr. Aimee ApigianThe Body Keeps the Score* by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. ArticlesHow Common is PTSD in Adults? by U.S. Department of Veterans AffairsSelf-Directed Neuroplasticity by MindOwl6 Neuroplasticity Exercises for Anxiety Relief by PsychCentral7 Effective Neuroplasticity Exercises for Brain Rewiring by My Brain RewiredThe Science of OM: How Chanting Calms Your Mind and BodyHow Qigong Calms the Nervous System and Transforms Stress Into VitalityBuilding Our Sense of Agency by Trauma Aware AmericaNeurobiological Imprints of TraumaThe Triphasic Model for Treating TraumaHow Does Your Body Remember Trauma?The Trauma Loop: Why You Keep Repeating Old Patterns (and How to Break Them)Work with me—schedule a free 30-minute breakthrough consultation today.

Most people stay locked in a constant sympathetic state without realizing it, which drains focus, sleep quality, emotional balance, and long-term resilience. This episode gives you a science backed path to retrain your nervous system, improve heart rate variability, and shift out of stress on command using focused ultrasound technology that targets the vagus nerve. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey talks with Jon Hacker, CEO of NeurGear and creator of ZenBud. Jon is a biomedical engineer who has dedicated his career to bridging neuroscience and daily wellness. His work includes peer reviewed clinical research on anxiety, PTSD, autonomic regulation, and non invasive vagus nerve stimulation. He is one of the first innovators to bring focused ultrasound out of the lab and into a practical wearable designed to help people regulate state, build resilience, and create more conscious control over their biology. In this conversation, Dave and Jon break down how ultrasound activates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, why most electrical vagus nerve devices fail, and what actually happens in the first three to five minutes when the system begins shifting out of sympathetic activation. Jon explains how early trauma wires the autonomic system, why chronic stress is often physiological rather than psychological, and how daily stimulation strengthens vagal tone through Hebbian learning. They also explore how HRV reflects hidden state changes, how nervous system training supports clearer thinking and better emotional regulation, and why this type of tech matters as AI, algorithms, and modern stressors continue to push people into dysregulated states. You'll Learn: • Why sympathetic dominance is so widespread in the modern environment • How the vagus nerve influences stress, recovery, inflammation, and emotional balance • What makes focused ultrasound more precise than electrical vagus nerve stimulation • How ZenBud produced a 78 percent remission rate in clinical anxiety research • How early trauma alters autonomic patterns and keeps people in hidden fight or flight • How three to five minutes of stimulation can reset state during panic or overwhelm • Why daily use strengthens vagal tone and builds long term resilience • How HRV training, consciousness practices, and nervous system workouts fit together • Why noninvasive brain interfaces may become the safer future path as AI advances This episode is essential for anyone interested in biohacking, stress physiology, nervous system training, emotional regulation, HRV, meditation, trauma recovery, longevity, and building a more adaptable brain and body. It gives you a practical look at how the autonomic system really works and how focused ultrasound may change the future of human performance. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.

Holiday Meltdowns: Bad Behavior or Sensory Overload? (Vagus Nerve Secrets) | Ep. 351 Is your child "acting out" and ruining the holiday magic, or are they actually in a state of biological shock? In Episode 351 of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies tackle the skyrocketing rates of childhood anxiety and stress during the holiday season. Parents often mistake sensory overload for bad behavior. We dive deep into the science of the Vagus Nerve (which is 80% sensory!) and explain why loud relatives, bright lights, and sugary treats can cause a child's nervous system to shut down. Learn why handing an overwhelmed kid an iPad might be the worst thing you can do, and discover practical strategies like "Front-Loading" and "The Fort Method" to help your family survive the holidays without the screaming matches. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The "Bad Behavior" Myth: Why tantrums at parties are often signs of a dysregulated nervous system, not disobedience. Vagus Nerve 101: Understanding why your child's brain gets "energy vampired" by loud crowds. The "Front-Loading" Technique: How to stop anxiety before you leave the house by using photos and clear expectations. The Screen Trap: Why blue light and fast-paced games make meltdowns worse (and what to do instead). Old School Solutions: Why puzzles, blocks, and "heavy work" regulate a child's brain better than any gadget. The "No Agenda" Day: The most valuable gift you can give your family to reset cortisol levels. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro: Why holiday stress is hitting kids harder than ever 01:30 - Is there a chiropractor for "de-stressing"?

In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the number one challenge facing families today: exhaustion, chronic fatigue, and burnout. He explains the three stages of subluxation—the root cause behind why families feel "wound up and worn out at the same time." Dr. Tony reveals how stress during pregnancy, birth interventions, and sympathetic nervous system dominance create a cascade effect that leads to everything from infant colic to ADHD in children, and adrenal fatigue to autoimmune disorders in parents. Most importantly, he explains how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can address the root cause rather than just masking symptoms, helping families get their energy, focus, and health back online. This episode provides hope and actionable insights for families struggling with chronic exhaustion and health challenges.-----Links & ResourcesFree Resource: The Roadmap to Chronic Stress & Exhaustion: The 3 Stages of SubluxationEnter the Podcast Giveaway and Win Free Prizes on Facebook or Instagram----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:03:00) - Wound Up and Worn Out: Understanding the Problem(00:05:00) - How Pregnancy and Birth Stress Affect Baby's Nervous System(00:07:00) - Stage One: Sympathetic Dominance and the Vagus Nerve(00:09:00) - Stage Two: Neurological Disorganization and Developmental Delays(00:11:00) - Stage Three: Chronic Health Challenges and System Shutdown(00:12:00) - The Root Cause Solution: Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Kevin J. Tracey, president and CEO at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and author of "The Great Nerve: The New Science of the Vagus Nerve and How to Harness Its Healing Reflexes.”

The Revolutionary Role of the Vagus Nerve in Bioelectronic Medicine: Dr. Kevin J. Tracey, president and CEO at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and author of "The Great Nerve: The New Science of the Vagus Nerve and How to Harness Its Healing Reflexes,” details the historical context and recent advancements in harnessing the power of the vagus nerve to control inflammation without causing immunosuppression. The conversation explores the journey from early experimental stages to the recent FDA approval for treating rheumatoid arthritis through vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) devices. He also delves into the potential applications of VNS in treating other inflammatory conditions, mood disorders, and the science behind non-invasive lifestyle techniques and commercially available devices. The episode provides valuable insights into the future of bioelectronic medicine and its potential to revolutionize medical treatments.

We all bump into the blurry line between regulating and avoiding. In this episode, Amanda unpacks the difference between soothing your nervous system and emotionally bypassing—using a real client story to show how even “healthy” tools can become numbing when the intention and impact are off. Learn how to choose between regulation and resourcing, and try a simple check-in to turn coping back into connection.In this episode, you'll learn:The clear definitions of regulation (state-shifting) vs avoidance/numbing (state-escaping)Why the same behavior (TV, scrolling, exercise, breathwork) can heal or hide depending on intention & impactThe difference between regulating and resourcing—and when each is appropriateHow “pop healing” can unintentionally promote bypassing (and what to do instead)A quick two-question experiment to notice whether you're shifting away from or expanding capacity for what you feel3 Takeaways:The same behavior can heal or hide, intention & impact are the tells. Regulation restores presence and energy; avoidance suppresses and disconnects. Ask: Does this make me more present or less present?We need both regulating and resourcing tools. Use regulation when a state feels too big or inaccurate to the moment; use resourcing to expand your ability to be with what's here safely.Awareness is the work. Before you reach for a tool, pause: What am I feeling? What's my intention? That tiny check-in turns numbing into nourishment and coping into true regulation.—Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE discovery call for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program (HSA/FSA eligible & includes comprehensive bloodwork)Join me inside Regulated Living, a mental health membership and nervous system healing space (sliding scale pricing available)Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!*Want me to talk about something specific on the podcast?

In this episode, I'm diving into something that most people — even many professionals — don't fully understand yet, but once you do, it will completely change the way you see your mouth, your health, your emotions, and even your child's behavior: the vagus nerve. This incredible “wandering” nerve is the body's built-in communication system, connecting your brain to your mouth, throat, heart, lungs, digestive tract, and so much more. And yes — it passes right through your mouth, which is why I talk about it so much. If you've been seeing anxiety, sleep issues, food aversions, meltdowns, mouth breathing, or constant “behavior problems” with your kids, this episode will give you a whole new lens for understanding what's really going on inside their bodies. We'll explore how the vagus nerve gets thrown into fight-or-flight, why so many kids today are chronically dysregulated, and what simple daily habits you can start using to help them (and yourself) feel safe, calm, and connected again. If something you heard made you pause, smile, think differently, or feel empowered, please share this episode with a friend, leave a review, and follow the podcast so we can keep changing lives through this message.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most concerning issues in pediatric healthcare: the unnecessary prescription of antibiotics to children. With 30% of antibiotics prescribed to kids being unnecessary (according to CDC research), Dr. Tony breaks down the real consequences this has on children's long-term health. He explains how antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, nervous system, and immune function, leading to increased risks of asthma, allergies, ADHD, and anxiety. Most importantly, he reveals that the majority of ear, sinus, and respiratory infections are viral—not bacterial—meaning antibiotics don't even help. Dr. Tony explores the root cause of these infections (poor nervous system function and drainage), and how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care addresses the actual problem rather than masking symptoms.Key Topics & Timestamps[00:01:00] The shocking truth: 30% of antibiotics prescribed to kids are unnecessary[00:04:00] The pediatrician paradox: 85% agree on wait-and-see, but only 33% follow it[00:06:00] How antibiotics disrupt the gut-brain connection and microbiome[00:08:00] Understanding the vagus nerve: the most important nerve in the body[00:10:00] The root cause revealed: respiratory infections are really a "plumbing problem"[00:12:00] Dr. Tony's personal story: four kids, zero antibiotics, zero ear infections-- Register for the FREE 'Calming The Sensory Storm' Webinar HERE Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Today I'm talking about stimulating your vagus nerve. You see if your vagus nerve has a high vagal tone, it can easily help you drop out of your chronic stress state into your rest and digest state. Whereas if your vagal tone is low, then it's a lot harder for you to be able to make that shift. But there are many ways that you can stimulate your, your vagus nerve in order to increase your vagal tone.About the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner helping people get to the root cause of their health issues. Melissa neither diagnoses nor cures but helps bring your body back into balance by helping discover your “toxic load” and then removing the toxins.

In ancient Roman times, the voice was considered a weapon. A high-pitched or rushed voice signaled panic; a slow, deep, modulated voice signaled confidence and control. The goal wasn't volume, but resonance, achieved through deep abdominal breathing. Modern Science shares the discovery of Vagus Nerve Toning. Deep, slow breathing—especially extending the exhale—and vocalizing at a lower pitch stimulates the Vagus Nerve, directly lowering heart rate and increasing Heart Rate Variability (HRV). This physiological change instantly shifts you into a state of relaxed control. 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 3 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.

Sometimes, the kindest thing you can do for your nervous system isn't to rest—it's to move. This episode is for the ones who don't relate to overachieving or overfunctioning because they're on the other end of the spectrum: the stuck, the shut down, the ones who can't seem to get going no matter how much they want to.If motivation feels impossible and even small tasks feel like climbing a mountain, this episode will help you understand why—and how to begin again with gentleness and devotion instead of shame.In this episode, you'll learn:Why low energy, lack of motivation, and “laziness” are actually physiological responses, not character flawsThe nervous system science behind shutdown and how it traps you in inactionWhy waiting for motivation doesn't work—and what to do insteadHow to reclaim the word discipline as an act of devotion, not punishmentThe 5-Minute Win: a simple practice to help you break inertia and start rebuilding energy3 Takeaways: For a shut-down system, discipline is self-care.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel reveals why the vagus nerve is the key to unlocking autism healing and recovery. He explains how this critical nerve—controlling digestion, immune function, speech, and social-emotional connection—is often injured during birth trauma, the "moonwalking bear" that conventional medicine overlooks. Dr. Tony demonstrates why children with autism need deeper, foundational nervous system repair through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, beyond surface-level interventions like breathing exercises or supplements alone. Packed with neuroscience and practical insights, this episode provides hope and actionable steps for families seeking transformational healing.-----Links & ResourcesTake advantage of the Black Friday sale and get the full autism summit for $29HERE-----Key Timestamps:(6:00) Fight or Flight: A Simple Way to Understand the Vagus Nerve(12:00) The Most Important Nerve for Your Child's Healing and Regulation(14:00) Birth Stress: The Missing Piece Most Parents Aren't Told About(17:00) How the Vagus Nerve Impacts Sensory Processing and Communication(26:00) Practical Ways to Help Activate and Support the Vagus Nerve(38:00) How INSiGHT Scans Reveal Vagus Nerve and Nervous System Stress(47:00) Real Progress: What Happens When the Vagus Nerve Starts Healing -- Register for the FREE 'Calming The Sensory Storm' Webinar HERE Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Today's conversation is for the Type A, high achieving, often overwhelmed and anxious nervous system folk. Amanda talk about the pattern we often see where we stop our self-care habits when we feel good, but stopping them often puts us back into a spiral of anxiety and the story of, "why do I do this? I'm just not disciplined or motivated enough, etc..." But what if that's not the problem at all?In this episode, we reframe what it means to “stay consistent,” explore why many of us use overwhelm as our barometer, and talk about how true discipline might actually look like doing less, not more.3 Takeaways:1. Maybe you're not falling back into "bad habits" - you're overcommitting until self-care becomes impossible. When life gets good, we reflexively add more to our plates instead of maintaining what's working. The problem isn't lack of discipline; it's trying to fit 60 hours of life into 24 hours of human capacity.2. Not all regulation tools are meant to be forever - and that's okay. Healing requires adjusting your “protocol.” Just like you don't need an ankle brace after your sprain heals, some nervous system supports are temporary medicine for acute times. The key is knowing which practices are your anchors (the ones you need even when you're well) versus which ones can naturally fade as you heal.3. Redefine discipline: Maybe it's not the choice to do more, it's the courage to do less. True discipline means saying no to opportunities even though you could squeeze them in, maintaining white space in your calendar even though it makes you anxious, and remembering that feeling good isn't permission to overwhelm yourself again.

How you breathe determines how you feel, how you age, and even how you die.-James NestorChapters0:26 Welcome to the Breath Journey3:42 Exploring the Power of Breath9:07 The Science of Calm Breathing14:12 Breath as Self-Compassion16:06 Practical Steps for Healthier Breathing17:21 Closing Thoughts and ReflectionsSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the profound impact of our breath on anxiety and emotional regulation. As I explore the significance of breath, I highlight it as a fundamental, yet often overlooked, tool for achieving a state of tranquility and balance within our bodies and minds. Drawing inspiration from James Nestor's enlightening book, "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art," I emphasize how the way we breathe can dramatically influence our overall well-being.Throughout the discussion, I unpack the automatic nature of breathing and how our typical patterns can betray us, especially in moments of anxiety. When we are overwhelmed, it's common for our breathing to become shallow and rapid, sending distress signals to our brain and maintaining a state of hyperarousal. I reflect on my own journey of discovering the benefits of long, slow exhalations and conscious breathing, which not only transformed my personal anxiety management but also allowed me to assist others in making similar changes.I stress the importance of breathing through the nose, as highlighted by Nestor, reclaiming what he describes as the "lost art of breathing." I detail the physiological benefits of proper nasal breathing — it calms the nervous system and activates the parasympathetic response, ensuring that our bodies can transition to rest and digest mode. Practical exercises are woven throughout the episode, allowing listeners to engage with their breath in real time, guiding them away from stress and towards a newfound sense of safety.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #Breathwork, #AnxietyRelief, #NervousSystem, #MindBody, #JamesNestor, #BreathTheNewScienceOfALostArt, #NasalBreathing, #SlowBreathing, #Calm #Mindfulness, #RelaxationTechniques, #VagusNerve, #SelfCompassion, #HealthAndWellness, #StressManagement, #ConsciousBreathing, #RestAndDigest, #AnxietySucks, #BreathingExercises, #ReduceStress, #PodcastLife, #DailyPractice, #InhaleExhale, #InnerPeace, #EmotionalHealth, #MentalWellness, #NaturalCalm, #ResetButton #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
