Shareworthy from Audible: VAGUS NERVE
Brain-Belly Reset by Kimberley E. Gray
One of the biggest reminders from this book is that healing isn't just about the brain or the gut. It's about the communication highway connecting them: the Vagus Nerve.
Key Takeaways:
🧠 The brain and gut are constantly talking to each other.
😌 A dysregulated nervous system can contribute to stress, anxiety, digestive issues, poor sleep, and difficulty focusing.
🌬️ Simple daily practices such as deep breathing, humming, singing, meditation, prayer, cold exposure, exercise, and social connection may help support vagal tone.
🍎 Gut health and brain health are inseparable. What we eat influences mood, cognition, and overall well-being.
❤️ Safety, connection, purpose, and healthy relationships are powerful regulators of the nervous system.
