Mitochondria And Vagus Nerve Interaction

Hi everyone! Welcome to another episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast.

Today, we'll be discussing a few essential cellular processes that are necessary to ensure optimal body and cellular function. The first one is mitochondria. Every cell in our body, except for red blood cells, contains mitochondria, which produce the energy needed for the cell to perform its functions. Dysfunctional mitochondria can lead to chronic disease.

The second process we'll be discussing is the effect of the vagus nerve and vagus nerve stimulation on mitochondria. Vagus nerve stimulation helps reduce inflammation and manage reactive oxygen species within and around cells, preventing an inflammatory cascade from becoming a chronic, disease-based pathway.

We'll also delve into the roles of serotonin and melatonin, which are important neurotransmitters. Serotonin is involved in mood regulation and happiness, and breaks down melatonin. Melatonin, in turn, plays a significant role in sleep, recovery, and antioxidant processes. A lack of melatonin leads to a slow increase in oxidative stress and damage inside the mitochondria, causing the cell to become inflammatory.
