Vagus Nerve and Immune System Overview

Vagus Nerve and Immune System Overview

Hello and welcome to the Health Upgrade Podcast!

Today, we'll have a brief episode providing an overview of the fundamentals of the autonomic nervous system, the vagus nerve, vagus nerve stimulation, and their effects on the immune system. The autonomic nervous system is a network of nerves that regulates bodily functions that we don't consciously control. It consists of two branches: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. In this discussion, we'll focus on the parasympathetic branch.

When a person is free from stress and at rest, the parasympathetic branch
is activated, which also means that the vagus nerve shifts into the rest,
digest, relax, and restore mode. In this mode, immune cells and the nervous
system shift away from an inflammatory or stress state and perform their
critical duties of keeping us healthy.

We will also tackle on how to upregulate and enhance your parasympathetic activity.

If you want to learn more about the vagus nerve and how it affects your health, let’s jump into the episode!
