33K views · 3.8K reactions | The vagus nerve is the primary regulator of the parasympathetic nervous system and the most powerful player in activating the body’s *relaxation response*. Unfortunately, in today’s fast-paced world, many of us have poorly functioning vagus nerves, contributing to the rise of anxiety and stress-related health issues. Modern stressors—like processed foods, chronic stress, poor sleep, unresolved trauma, gut inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies—compromise vagal function, making it harder for the body to enter a state of calm and recovery. The vagus nerve serves as the main communication pathway between the brain and the body, with about 80% of its branches sending sensory information from the body to the brain. The effectiveness of this communication is measured by vagal tone, which reflects how well the vagus nerve conducts information. ‘High vagal tone’ is linked to a stronger ability to handle stress and move between different states of the nervous system, while ‘low vagal tone’ is associated with increased anxiety, poor nervous system function, and difficulty recovering from stress. When the vagus nerve isn’t functioning optimally, the body becomes stuck in a heightened stress response, unable to fully transition into rest and repair mode, which is essential for emotional and physical recovery. The good news is that the vagus nerve, like the rest of the nervous system, is plastic and adaptable. By engaging in practices that increase vagal tone—we can actively improve vagal function. Enhancing vagal tone helps the body respond more effectively to stress, break the cycle of anxiety, and help heal the nervous system. ✨ Stimulating the vagus nerve is one of the most powerful ways to restore balance to the nervous system. Tomorrow at 9 AM PST, nervous system expert @kardenrabin will be joining us in the Inner Circle to share his top techniques for stimulating the vagus nerve and building resilience in the nervous system. IT’S GOING TO BE AHHHMAZING! ✨✨✨ Comment “inner circle” to join for $25. | Life with Kate
