No, you read that right. 

The Vagus Nerve is a big old chunk, in charge of things like:

-digestion

-heart rate

-respiration

-activation of your parasympathetic nervous system

AKA it is IMPORTANT.  AND YOU HAVE ONE!

Tuning into vagus nerve stimulation can help reduce the sympathetic stress response! Meaning, learning about this awesome part of your anatomy is an additional, shameless tool in your mental health tool box.

Join me on today’s Speaking to Shame episode, where we’ll talk about the tool that is the vagus nerve.
