In this podcast I cover the latest research that links imbalance in the ventral vagus nerve (innervation of the head and neck) with chronic inflammation throughout the body. We know that most disease has inflammation at its core - anxiety, depression, arthritis, heart disease, and even auto-immunity are all linked to the imbalance of this important nerve of the autonomic (vegetative) nervous system.
Find out what you can do to rebalance your vagus and why this may be a vital non-drug tool in future medical treatment.
