THE VAGUS NERVE
The secret is out, folks.
More and more people are learning just how important the Vagus Nerve is to their entire spectrum of personal health.
In fact, it might be one of the most important bundle of nerves that you will ever have the pleasure of working on in your lifetime.
So, I have put together a nice resource list for those who wish to take things to the next level, and really have all the things you need to start developing a super healthy Vagus Nerve.
SUPPLEMENTS
Here are some of the Must Have supplements to take to immediately protect the Myelin with B12, and Omega fatty Acids:
Methyl B12 is essential for the health of neurons in your brain, and in your body, but most importantly in your Vagus Nerve.
This product comes courtesy of Jarrow Formulas, who I have found has always provided very valuable and high quality products. These are chewable Methylated B12 tablets, and they will start providing the building blocks to repair your Vagus Nerve very rapidly.
Omega 3 fatty acids are generally a good thing to have in your diet, regardless of the state of your Vagus Nerve.
One of the primary facets of the Vagus Nerve is the sheath of protective healthy fats that surround it, if you lose the Myelin Sheath, you will invariably experience some severe problems with your Vagus Nerve.
I really like Carlson Fish Oil products because they are a sustainable producer of a really high quality fish oils.
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter that your Vagus Nerve uses to control all of your autonomic functions, so Choline is a pre-cursor molecule, and can make a big difference during your recovery & repair.
This company, Solgar, has been in the business of making supplements for many, many years. I have found them to be of exceptionally high quality, this one product has made a massive difference in my overall health quality.
This also contains Inositol, which is a pre-biotic supplement that helps feed the healthy gut bacteria you already have inside.
Apple Cider Vinegar is what provides your body with the extra power to combine Choline (Above) with Acetyl-Acid, which is what Vinegar is.
Voila! Your body then creates Acetyl-Choline!
Guess which neurotransmitter your body needs the most in its life? If you said AcetylCholine! Then you win, big time!
As a gift for yourself, you should definitely grab yourself a bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar pills (much better than the liquid version - which is kinda gross...)
You're getting closer and closer to rocking your Vagus Nerve like never before.
GABA is an exceptionally helpful neurotransmitter to have around.
This helps your Central Autonomic Nervous system (CAN) to inhibit sympathetic nervous activity, meaning it helps down-regulate overwhelming feelings of anxiety.
Everyone should have this on hand to take during especially stressful moments that occur year round.
Benfotiamine is a neuron regeneration B-vitamin. This particular version is a B1 vitamin that has been made more bioavailability. Normal B1 is water-soluble, making it less available to your cells.
Benfotiamine is fat-soluble, which makes it easier for your cells to absorb than water-soluble B1.
This helps with glycogen uptake, but importantly can massively help reduce the production of inflammation.
This may be one of those breakthrough products that everyone who things they have Vagus Nerve issues should be using.
-----
Swanson NAC N-Acetyl Cysteine Antioxidant is a fantastic supplement to take to help with Depression & Anxiety.
Some have found this is immediately able to wipe out really low points in their mental moods.
NAC fights free radicals that can cause oxidative stress concerns. NAC is needed by your body for the regeneration of a potent antioxidant known as glutathione, which binds with and neutralizes free radicals to support liver health.
N-Acetyl Cysteine has earned a reputation as a free radical scavenger due to its ability to promote glutathione preservation.
It's just an all around excellent supplement to take.
This is one of the oldest and most researched probiotics in the entire world.
Swanson Lactobacillus Rhamnosus with Fos is also known as Lactobacillus GG.
Originally extracted from a healthy adult gut, it is able to survive travel through the stomach acid, and is able to stick very well to the intestinal lining.
It's exceptionally good at helping with diarrhea and many of the symptoms of a gut that has been decimated by prescription drugs and antibiotics.
It can also help with ecxema, restless leg syndrome, and even strongly promotes weight loss specifically around the belly.
BOOKS
Polyvagal theory has played a relatively big role in the understanding of the Vagus Nerve for myself and others, so this is a critical book to get if you want to know more about this nerve.
When it comes to the structure of your neck, skull, body, and your cranial nerves (not just your Vagus Nerve, but many others) this book has been invaluable in understanding how it's all put together.
This book contains many tidbits of information, that really make it a page turner.
TOOLS
A new addition to this page is a list of home-care products that offer a more complete set of "attack vectors" for stimulating your own Vagus Nerve at home.
It is the foundational principle of our ecosystem that it's better to have a practice that you can do every single day, rather than something you only do every two weeks.
Consistency is Key!
The following are products you should have on hand, as they can allow you create consistency in your daily routines for achieving good health.
Vibration Plate for Deep Vagal Activation (Bonus: For Weight Loss!)
When used daily, you can seriously get one of the greatest cardio boosts if you use this vibration plate in the morning.
This particular system below really jumped out because it includes resistance bands, which you can use while on the plate to get an extra boost of muscle building resistance training.
Not to mention, it just feels freaking good!
Chi Machine
This is an incredible system to use if you want to wakeup early, and get the blood flowing.
And, if you combine with the breathing exercise, there's no telling just how unbelievably amazing you're going to feel. This will allow you to send your breathing to even longer breath holds, and put your mind deeper into your Vagus Nerve than you've ever thought possible.
Just 15 minutes on this Chi Machine is worth an equivalent amount of 60 minutes worth of walking in terms of circulation, and movement of important lymphatic fluids.
Rebounder, Lymphatic Trampoline
For a slower, but more forceful resonant activity which helps move lymphatic fluid through your body, I recommend also a Rebounder.
These are basically mini-trampolines that help exert 3 times the force of gravity on your body, which can help push lymph fluid to pass through your body.
These are fun, and are a great form of cardio!
Red Light Therapy (660nm)
This technology is so under-represented in healthcare, but it's power is immense.
This particular setup offers a full body Red Light experience.
What is it about red light therapy that has so many becoming raving fans?
Well it primarily has to do with its activation of Mitochondria in the body, and these mitochondria power the Vagus Nerve.
Without mitochondria, your Vagus Nerve wouldn't work, at all, and neither would the rest of your body.
Infrared & Red Light Therapy System (850nm) & (660nm)
There are also ways to combine Infrared and Red light therapy together into one panel.
This one in particular is a great value!
Cervical Neck Traction Device
Many miss the little known secret around the connection between your Cervical Spine and your Vagus Nerve.
Your Cranial Nerves exit your skull, and pass directly through your neck, often passion by a very cramped space where many other very important nerves are also passing through.
This great device includes a handheld pump which can put very minute upward pressure on your head, thereby releasing the tension that our necks naturall experience from the 15lbs of weight that our entire head puts directly on the spine.
Definitely worth it if you know you have any type of shooting neck pain, or your neck muscles cramp up often.
And if you have any other AMAZING tools or products, or books you want to recommend, please share them in the comments so others can also benefit too!!
And if one of the links above is broken, feel free to post a correct one if you can find an alternative, sometimes Amazon simply changes the names or URL's year over year.
Appreciate ya!
