Whether or not you have heard of the Vagus Nerve prior, prepare
to have your mind blown. For such a big and important topic, I’ve
brought in the powerhouse, Dr. Eva Detko.
Dr Detko is a natural healthcare practitioner, author and speaker
who has studied natural medicine and the human mind for over 20
years. She has extensive knowledge and experience in the field of
human physiology, biochemistry, nutritional sciences and
bioenergetics. Having successfully recovered from chronic fatigue
and fibromyalgia, and reversed Hashimoto's thyroiditis, she’s well
equipped.
I was drawn to her no nonsense approach to healing and her strong
focus on the Vagus Nerve as a pathway.
The Vagus Nerve and the Polyvagul Theory codifies the inner
workings of body's stress response systems. The vagus nerve is
involved in anxiety and fear responses, ties right into the nervous
system, prevents inflammation, aids breathing, but wait- there’s
more- it also controls your heart rate, and connects the gut brain
and the brain brain. There’s even a pretty new treatment of Vagus
nerve stimulation which uses bioelectronics to treat a variety of
conditions such as severe depression, and epileptic seizures.
Through understanding this we are able to identify imbalances
before they progress into disease, and if we are experiencing
disease we are given ways to treat at the root cause.
