What’s Causing Chronic Vagal Dysregulation in the Modern World?
The vagus nerve is the main channel of communication between the brain and the body especially the gut, heart, lungs, thyroid, reproductive organs, and immune system.
It runs from your brainstem through the face, throat, heart, lungs, and gut.
It determines whether we are in “rest & repair” (parasympathetic) mode or “survive & defend” (sympathetic) mode
When the vagus nerve is dysregulated, the body gets “stuck” in a chronic stress state — and cannot return to homeostasis.
WHAT IS DISEASE FROM A HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE?
The answer to “dis-ease” is likely to be across many different aspects of “self”.
PHYSICAL: Inflammation (eg. toxicity, gut microbiome imbalance, diet).
EMOTIONAL: Eg. Unresolved trauma, unprocessed grief, emotional wounding. Feeling “stuck”. In a job, relationship, lifestyle, other’s expectations.
MIND: Our own inner narrative eg. outdated beliefs that are running around our thoughts (& driving our actions) in a constant loop.
ENERGY & FREQUENCY: Energy & frequency regulate the biochemical, cellular & neurological processes of our physical body, so when these are low we cannot function properly.
