In today’s episode of Transmit Safety, we're going to be diving into the fascinating world of the vagus nervous system and its connection to overall health and well-being.

For a few years now, I've been dealing with some health issues. Nothing alarming, but daily life-impacting. Regular doctors kept on telling me that I was fine. I would go for tests and the results would say that I was fine. There's nothing wrong with me. But I knew something wasn't right. So I kept on searching for an answer.

This summer I landed in a virtual workshop about gut health, and one of the sessions was on the vagus nerve. I knew that we had it, but it didn't really click for me until I was sitting in this session with a subject matter expert about how important understanding the vagus nervous system really is. And I want to share that with you.

Stick around until the end because I have a relaxing guided breathing practice for you to try to help you integrate this knowledge into your daily routine.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What the vagus nervous system is
• The vagus nerve’s role in your body’s stress response
• How to tap into the power of the vagus nervous system
• The benefits of a breathing practice
