Podcasts about Vagus nerve

This week, Dr. Prather gives a preview of his upcoming free seminar about the Holistic Heart program at Holistic Integration.  In this episode, we talk about:—The philosophy behind Holistic Heart and how it integrates Structure-Function Care and the medical model for the best patient outcomes.—How our Holistic Heart program is designed to give our patients safe, non-invasive, and medically-sound cardiac care that is more than just stents and statins. —The unique diagnostic tests Dr. Prather orders for patients that most cardiologists do not do. —The shocking study from the National Institutes of Health study that revealed stents and bypass surgeries are NOT effective for long-term heart health outcomes. —The External CounterPulsation (ECP) Therapy developed 60 years ago by Harvard and how it duplicates 5 years of marathon training for the heart in just 7 weeks. And the touching story of how Dr. Prather came to bring this treatment into his office.—How Magnesium for men and Potassium for women are "absolutely critical" for those situations where a person dies suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack. —Why high Cholesterol is NOT the underlying problem, but an indicator of Cardiovascular Disease. And why Dr. Prather describes Cholesterol as the firefighters showing up to put out the fire. —How Chiropractic care helps with the Vagus Nerve, POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), and can play a big role for atrial fibrillation (AFib). Plus, the Acupuncture points that can settle down the EKG of a patient while they are having a heart attack.—The Cardiac C-Reactive Protein Blood Test that is the biggest indicator of having a heart attack. And how Cardiologists are "amazed" by how Dr. Prather can quickly and effectively get positive changes in this measurement.—How you can get our Autonomic Nervous System Test for just $49 (normally a $195 value) by attending our next free Holistic Heart seminar with Dr. Prather on Wednesday, July 30th at 6:30 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Mark Fox isn't your average entrepreneur. Former NASA engineer, creative inventor, hot air balloonist, and now the unconventional mind behind Resona Health, he's challenging everything we thought we knew about how healing works.In this episode, we dive deep into resonance frequency therapy — a form of non-invasive bioenergetic medicine that uses targeted pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to support cellular regeneration, nervous system balance, and the body's natural ability to heal. Whether it's anxiety, arthritis, chronic pain, PTSD, insomnia, or digestive dysfunction, Mark believes frequency is the missing link in modern medicine — and he's backing it with bold ideas, wild stories, and clinical evidence that just might make you rethink everything.We cover:The return to cellular balanceWhat exactly PEMF therapy is and how it differs from other energy modalitiesWhy resonance frequency therapy is helping people (and pets!) reduce pain, inflammation, and emotional trauma — often without pharmaceuticalsThe vagus nerve, emotional memory, and the surprising role of electromagnetic stimulation in regulating the nervous systemWhy Mark refuses to sell his healing tech on a subscription model, and why that's ruffled industry feathersThe story of how a giraffe study helped validate animal applications of frequency medicineWhat it's like to innovate in a space the FDA doesn't know how to regulateHow Resona Health's device delivers over 100 resonant frequencies tuned to support sleep, mood, detox, joint pain, immunity, and moreYou'll also hear how a personal trauma and the search for non-pharmaceutical relief led Mark down the frequency rabbit hole — and why he's now on a mission to give people the power to heal at home, affordably, and without dependency.Whether you're skeptical of alternative therapies or already experimenting with sound baths and red light panels, this conversation will leave you with a whole new appreciation for the science of energy medicine, biohacking, electromagnetic fields, and the art of self-regulation through resonance.https://resona.healthConnect:Dr. Trip Goolsby & LeNae Goolsby are the co-founders of the Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center, and are also the co-authors of the book “Think and Live Longer”.

Welcome back to Ditch the Lab Coat, the podcast where we break down the fascinating world of medicine with a blend of scientific skepticism and real-world insight. In today's episode, we dive deep into the mysteries of the vagus nerve—a nerve so ancient and essential, it's been called the “conductor” in the symphony of human physiology.Join host Dr. Mark Bonta as he sits down with Dr. Kevin Tracey, neurosurgeon, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, and a pioneer in the world of bioelectronic medicine. Dr. Tracey's breakthrough research has shown us that the vagus nerve is far more than just a conduit for signals—it's a key player in managing inflammation, regulating our immune system, and maybe even shaping the future of medicine.In this conversation, you'll explore the mind-bending complexity of the nervous system, discover how cutting-edge science is redefining how we treat diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and long Covid, and learn how a tiny chip implanted in the neck might one day replace whole classes of immune-suppressing drugs. Dr. Tracey shares metaphors, straight talk about medical myths, and a vision for a future where reprogramming the body's reflexes could offer relief to millions.Get ready for a journey that's equal parts awe-inspiring and practical, as we unpack the true potential (and real-world considerations) of harnessing the vagus nerve's power. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a science nerd, or just someone searching for new answers, this episode invites you to see medicine in a whole new way. Resources : ( https://feinstein.northwell.edu/ )Episode HighlightsVagus Nerve Complexity Unveiled — We're only scratching the surface of understanding the vagus nerve's vast, intricate network and its essential bodily roles.Inflammation: Friend and Foe — Inflammation is vital short-term, but when uncontrolled, it's destructive and underlies many autoimmune and chronic diseases.Nervous-Immune System Interplay — The nervous and immune systems communicate reflexively, with nerves directly capable of controlling immune and inflammatory responses.Bioelectronic Treatments Emerge — Vagus nerve stimulation—via implanted chips—shows promise for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis without full-body immunosuppression risks.Individualized Nerve Fiber Functions — Each of the 200,000 vagus fibers controls specific functions, forming a body-wide symphony of precision responses.Not All Self-Help Fits — Lifestyle hacks can support vagus health, but serious disease often requires targeted nerve stimulation, not general wellness.Caution Against Online Misinformation — Vagus nerve advice online is often oversimplified or inaccurate; nuance and scientific backing are essential.Lifestyle Still Matters — Balanced diet, sleep, exercise, and community all help regulate vagus nerve tone and reduce chronic stress.Future Disease Applications Possible — Vagus stimulation may treat IBD, MS, and neurodegenerative or psychiatric conditions as research evolves.Episode Timestamps6:25 — Exploring Nervous System Complexity9:08 — Vagus Nerve Controls Inflammation11:05 — Vagus Nerve: Brain Signals Control Inflammation15:45 — Nervous System's Role in Immunity20:43 — Understanding Your Vagus Nerves23:25 — Vagus Nerve Health and Research25:12 — Vagus Nerve Stimulation Insights29:36 — Vagus Nerve Stimulator: Inflammation Therapy32:13 — Neurotransmitter Effects on Cytokine Production38:22 — Minimizing Nerve Damage in Surgery39:30 — Vagus Nerve Stimulation Benefits43:42 — Exploring Vagus Nerve Mysteries46:42 — Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Autoimmune Diseases50:52 — Cold Plunges & Bioelectrical Future DISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

In this episode we explore the activated nervous system state—better known as fight-or-flight. If you've ever felt anxious, tightly wound, or like your body just can't stop, this one's for you. We explore why your system gets stuck in this high-alert state and, most importantly, provide a practical toolkit to help you work with your nervous system, not against it. Learn why "just calm down" doesn't work and what to do instead to find real regulation.*This episode serves as Part 2 in our "Different States Series"In this episode, you'll learn:What activation actually is and how it shows up in the bodyThe difference between fight and flight energyWhy your system gets stuck in this stateWhat anxiety is trying to tell you through a parts work lensThe most effective in-the-moment tools to help discharge activationWhat doesn't work (and why forcing calm can backfire)The deeper work required to shift out of chronic activation for good3 Takeaways:Your anxiety isn't random.  It's your body saying: “Something doesn't feel safe.” Instead of asking "How do I stop this?" ask "What is my body trying to tell me?"Different states need different support. An activated body needs to move and discharge energy. Trying to force stillness often backfires. The goal isn't to just calm down; it's to help your body complete the stress response.Reactive tools are scaffolding for deeper work. In-the-moment tools are crucial for managing activation, but the long-term goal is to create a life your nervous system doesn't feel the need to constantly escape from by addressing the root causes.Categories of Tools for Activation mentioned in this episode:Movement – march in place, shake out your limbs, push against a wall, stomp, dance, go for a walkBreath (but not deep breathing) – try a physiological sigh (two inhales, one slow exhale), or blow air like you're cooling soupVision resets – slowly scan your environment, do lateral eye movements, shift focus from near to farSensory grounding – cold water, textured objects, strong scents like peppermint or citrusPatterned action – folding laundry, swaying, rocking, tapping rhythmsVoice and sound – humming, shushing, singing, or whispering soothing phrases like “I'm okay, I'm not in danger, I'm safe enough right now.”Parts Work: bring in the parts work perspectiveThe goal of these tools isn't to shut down the activation—it is to help complete it. They use up the energy your body has mobilized. And they begin to signal: “We're okay now.”—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?

Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the deeper truth about neuroinflammation in children with autism, ADHD, epilepsy, and other chronic health challenges. While diet changes, detoxes, and supplements target inflammation at the surface level, the real on-off switch to neuroinflammation lies much deeper—in the vagus nerve. Dr. Ebel explains how vagus nerve dysfunction creates a traffic jam in the body's anti-inflammatory pathways, keeping children trapped in chronic sympathetic fight-or-flight mode. He shares the powerful story of Ethan, a child with severe autism who experienced dramatic healing once his vagus nerve was properly activated through Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care. This episode provides parents with a clear understanding of why their child may still be experiencing inflammation despite trying every diet and supplement, and offers hope by addressing the underlying neurological cause.Key Topics & Timestamps([00:02:00]) - The Inflammation Truth - Why "inflammation is the root of all disease" is accurate but incomplete, and how it affects every body system([00:07:00]) - Enter the Vagus Nerve - Introduction to the vagus nerve as the primary controller of the body's anti-inflammatory response([00:10:00]) - Why Traditional Methods Fail - Explaining why deep breathing and calming techniques don't work when the vagus nerve is shut down([00:16:00]) - The Traffic Jam Analogy - How subluxation creates a "traffic jam" preventing proper brain-gut-immune communication([00:19:00]) - Ethan's Story - Case study of a child with severe autism who transformed through vagus nerve activation([00:24:00]) - The Chiropractic Solution - Why neurologically focused chiropractic care is the most powerful tool for addressing neuroinflammation([00:27:00]) - Sequential Healing Approach - The importance of addressing vagus nerve dysfunction first before layering other interventions-- 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.

The vagus nerve is fundamental to our health and vitality, coordinating critical functions from the precise heartbeat we need to exercise or rest to the balance of appetite and digestion. Made up of 200,000 fibers, the vagus nerve sends thousands of electrical signals every second between your brain and your most important organs. Yet despite its essential role in life, important vagus nerve functions have eluded centuries of scientific investigation. Now neurosurgeon and researcher Dr. Kevin Tracey has discovered the previously unknown power of the vagus nerve to reverse inflammation, balance the immune system, treat chronic illness, and keep our organs humming together in harmony.In The Great Nerve: The New Science of the Vagus Nerve and How to Harness Its Healing Reflexes (Penguin, 2025), Dr. Tracey shows us how stimulating the vagus nerve with a tiny electrical implant has the potential to reverse life-altering diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, MS, diabetes, obesity, stroke, depression, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. If this sounds too good to believe, Dr. Tracey shares stories of patients who have gone from being nearly bedridden to running and dancing, along with the science that makes possible these recoveries. He also explains the evidence for lifestyle strategies like ice baths, meditation, exercise, and breathwork that can maintain and improve vagus nerve function.By opening the door to the new field of neuroimmunology, The Great Nerve  not only revolutionizes how we understand and treat disease, it gives us unprecedented hope for our health. This is the story of your body's ability to heal itself. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Ever wonder why a breathing exercise that works for your friend makes your own anxiety worse? The problem isn't you - it's that we've been treating nervous system regulation like it's one-size-fits-all. Your nervous system has different states (activation, freeze, shutdown, and regulation), and each one needs different kinds of support. In this episode, we explore why tailored approaches work better and set the foundation for understanding your nervous system's unique needs.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the same regulation tool can help in one nervous system state but backfire in anotherThe four main nervous system states and what makes each one physiologically and psychologically uniqueThe difference between reactive regulation (shifting out of a state) and reactive resourcing (supporting yourself within a state)Why these tools are temporary scaffolding while you do the deeper healing workHow to start developing flexibility and agency in navigating between different states3 Takeaways:Your nervous system has different states that need different tools. You have two choices when dysregulated: stay with it (resourcing) or shift out of it (regulation). These tools are temporary scaffolding, not permanent solutions. The real goal isn't to need these techniques every day forever. It's to do the deeper work of healing what's causing the chronic dysregulation while using these tools as support along the way.—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?

As a holistic practitioner, I recognize that health isdynamic and unique to each person. It also is influenced by many factors – our relationships, our physical environments, our genetics, our schools and jobs, our unique design and purpose, and our day-to-day choices. With all these factors influencing our health, I feel it is only right to also acknowledge that we need more than medication or a supplement, or even a certain herb to help us get better. We are complex, made of body, mind, and soul, so even if my specialty is in herbalism, I feel that if I know about non-herbal tools that can help my clients, I'm going to share them – and there are many!After I meet with a client, I share a written summary thatincludes my observations and assessment, my herbal and nutritional recommendations, AND any lifestyle tools that I believe will help them reach their goals.Today, I want to give you a sneak peek at what are the tools I recommend the most to my clients, and the ones I use myself. The first 11 have been mentioned in previous episodes, so rather than review them thoroughly I list the episodes where you can find them.Then, I offer in depth details about my additional 5 favorite tools, most of which are free! Books mentioned in today's episode are: Live Better Longer by Joseph Dispenza and Hazel Parcells, The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown, Anatomy of an Illness by Norman Cousins, The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner, and Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve by Stanley Rosenberg.The Family Herbalism program and the Community Herbalist program through Herba Remedium are now open for registration – they begin in August.

In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked root causes of chronic illness: vagus nerve toxicity. If you or your clients struggle with fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, autoimmunity, or poor stress resilience—even after "doing all the right things"—this episode could be your missing link. You'll learn: What the vagus nerve really does and why it's essential for digestion, detox, immunity, and brain health How toxins, mold, infections, and heavy metals can damage this critical nerve The connection between low acetylcholine, leaky gut, leaky brain, and inflammation How vagus nerve suppression fuels SIBO, CIRS, mitochondrial dysfunction, and even accelerated aging My go-to solution stack including: ✅ Vibrant Blue Oils Parasympathetic & Lymph blends ✅ Dry brushing + sauna ✅ CellCore binders ✅ 4-7-8 breathwork and lymphatic movement tools Whether you're a high-performing individual, coach, or practitioner—this episode gives you science-backed strategies to break the cycle of chronic inflammation and support true healing from the inside out.

Using a personal story about a difficult uphill walk versus an easy downhill one, this episode offers a powerful and validating analogy for the healing journey. Amanda explores why life and healing can feel so hard when you're dealing with anxiety or depression, diving into the real physiological and biological reasons your body is working overtime. This episode is a compassionate reminder that your struggle is not a personal failing and that the hard "uphill" work you're doing now is what creates the conditions for life to feel easier later.In this episode, you'll learn:Why a dysregulated nervous system is "physiologically expensive" and makes daily life feel objectively harder.The reasons the healing process itself—confronting the past, feeling new emotions, and changing habits—also feels uphill at first.How underlying physiological issues, like hormone imbalances or nutrient deficiencies, can make the healing journey feel even steeper.Practical strategies for navigating the "uphill" phase of healing without getting discouraged.What the "downhill" phase of healing looks and feels like, and the hope that it is possible.3 Takeaways:Life with anxiety or depression feels uphill because it literally IS harder. Healing feels uphill because you're investing energy to create new conditions. The uphill phase is temporary and necessary. —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?

Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

In this episode I explain how your vagus nerve—an extensive neural pathway linking your brain and body in both directions—powerfully regulates your mood, digestion, alertness and even certain food cravings, and I explain how you can activate certain vagus nerve pathways to improve your heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of health and longevity. I also explain how to control vagal pathways to enhance your focus and alertness to improve learning and neuroplasticity. And I explain how your vagus nerve controls levels of serotonin in both your gut and brain, impacting your mood and emotional resilience and how to keep that pathway robust.

Fox, to break down the real-world impact of the Vibe - a portable PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) device on 10 Lyme patients the clinic she practices at - The Center for Human Restoration in Crandon, Wisconsin.  Back in January of this year, Mark donated the devices for Dr. Krause to introduce to her chronic Lyme patients to see their response. We started with 30 days initially but expanded into 90 days due to the fascinating results we'll discuss in this episode. They dive into: ✔️ Why every participant wanted to keep their device after the study ✔️ The surprising connection between vagus nerve stimulation, weight loss, and anxiety relief ✔️ How PEMF helped both humans and animals — from allergies to emotional regulation ✔️ The power of custom protocols for tackling food addiction, inflammation, and trauma ✔️ Why feedback from friends and family may matter more than you think ✔️ How PEMF and peptide technology are fueling a new era of personalized health tools Whether you're managing chronic illness, looking for innovative solutions to stress and inflammation, or curious about the intersection of tech and healing — this conversation is packed with practical insight and inspiring takeaways.

In this episode of the Fusionary Health Podcast, Dr. Shivani Gupta interviews JP Errico, the MIT-trained engineer and inventor behind 250+ patents who discovered how one overlooked nerve could be the key to controlling inflammation, enhancing brain function, and transforming our approach to health.After observing life-changing deep brain stimulation surgeries for Parkinson's disease, JP's curiosity led him to a revolutionary Valentine's Day discovery in 2006: stimulating the vagus nerve could instantly stop anaphylactic shock. This breakthrough opened a new frontier in understanding how our nervous system regulates everything from immunity and hormone balance to cognitive performance and aging.JP is the inventor of Truvaga, a handheld vagus nerve stimulator used by professional athletes and the U.S. military, designed to enhance mood, cognitive function, and sleep through targeted neuroimmunology.Key Highlights:• The remarkable connection between inflammation, immunity, and virtually every chronic disease• Why women's hormonal health is particularly vulnerable to vagus nerve dysregulation• How a marathon training technique reveals the secret to balancing stress and recovery• JP's daughter's transformation from struggling student to academic standout through vagus nerve stimulation• Military research showing 40% faster learning and 50% better memory with this technology• Cutting-edge applications for pregnancy health and reversing biological agingWhy You Should WatchThis episode bridges ancient wisdom with modern biohacking, offering practical solutions for anyone struggling with stress, inflammation, brain fog, or hormone imbalances.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss interoception, the brain's ability to sense and interpret signals from the body, which shapes our sense of self and underlies vital functions like focus, sleep, healing and emotions. I explain how the body communicates different types of information to the brain, influencing processes like digestion, heart rate and immune function. I also describe practical tools such as breathwork to regulate alertness, strategies to support gut health and reduce sugar cravings, and awareness practices to enhance interoception. By understanding and applying these tools, you can strengthen the brain-body connection to improve mood, overall health and performance. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

This is a simplified version of the conversation we had last week about how it's common for trauma survivors to feel anxious or scared when they finally experience moments of calm or regulation. This episode explores why this paradoxical response happens and offers gentle ways to help your nervous system learn that regulation doesn't have to mean danger. We dive into the "safety-danger equation" and how to build your capacity for feeling safe, one small moment at a time.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your nervous system might interpret safety as a threat after trauma.How past experiences can make you feel like you've "lost your ability to protect yourself" when you relax.Practical strategies to start feeling safer with regulation, even when it's uncomfortable.3 Takeaways:Feeling anxious when calm isn't a sign you're broken; it's a learned protective response from past trauma.Your nervous system is always balancing "cues of safety" against "cues of danger"—trauma can make safety feel unfamiliar and thus threatening.You can teach your nervous system that safety is okay by starting with small, anchored moments of regulation and validating your protective instincts.—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?

We often think of gut health as a matter of diet. What we eat, how we digest, and how we eliminate. But what if your digestive issues, bloating, or IBS symptoms aren't just physical? What if your gut is holding onto unprocessed emotional trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Christy Nault, a root cause health practitioner and founder of Hormone Glow Up and Microflow Healing. Christy sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful conversation about the connection between trauma and gut health, and how healing begins not with food, but with safety in the nervous system. Together, we explore how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and perfectionism deplete our minerals, disrupt digestion, and throw off our hormones, metabolism, and mental health. Christy shares her own story of living with POTS, IBS, endometriosis, and mass cell activation syndrome, and how her recovery began through parasite cleansing, circadian rhythm regulation, and somatic healing. This episode isn't about a one-size-fits-all gut protocol. It's about understanding the gut-brain connection, why your symptoms may keep returning, and how nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and personalized healing can restore your health from the inside out. If you've struggled with leaky gut, autoimmune symptoms, histamine intolerance, or protocols that didn't work, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate path forward. Topics discussed in this episode: ● The gut as an emotional and sensory organ ● How chronic stress depletes minerals and slows digestion ● Parasite cleansing and root-cause gut healing ● Why top-down protocols often fail without nervous system regulation ● The impact of childhood trauma on long-term health ● Gut-brain axis, emotional suppression, and vagal tone ● Circadian rhythms, blue light, and hormonal regulation ● Emotional digestion vs. food digestion ● Somatic tools for safe and effective healing ● Why small daily shifts create the deepest change Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: neurosomatic.com/leadership   Learn more about Christy Nault's work at: Website: christynault.com Instagram: instagram.com/itschristynault Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: YouTube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

Have you ever felt anxious about not feeling so anxious? Or had a moment of regulation trigger anxiety? In this follow-up we explore a counterintuitive but common phenomenon in trauma recovery: when finding safety and regulation actually triggers fear and anxiety. Drawing from research by Bessel van der Kolk, Stephen Porges, and Deb Dana, we examine why the regulated "green zone" can feel threatening to trauma survivors.In this episode, you'll learn:→ Why trauma survivors often feel most vulnerable when regulated→ How to identify what specific cues of safety and danger influence your nervous system→ Techniques for building regulation capacity without triggering protective responses→ The importance of "both/and" thinking: maintaining protection while exploring regulationThree Takeaways:Regulation happens when cues of safety outweigh cues of danger—but trauma rewires this equation, making the nervous system hypersensitive to potential threats and misinterpreting safety cues.The fear of regulation isn't a failure or resistance—it's an intelligent adaptation that protected you in the past and deserves respect even as you work to expand your capacity.Recovery isn't about eliminating protective responses but gradually creating reliable "islands of safety" that demonstrate regulation is survivable and eventually beneficial.—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?
