About this audiobook
This Nerve Is More Critical Than Previously Thought , So Take Care Of It!
Since Dr. Stephen Porges developed the Polyvagal theory to explain how our autonomic nervous system regulates our physical reactions as well as our emotional reactions, a lot of research and testing has gone into this theory to show how the functioning of our nervous system contributes to our physical and mental health.
The results were mind-blowing, as the vagus nerve was actually found to hold the key to healthy physical and mental health to a degree never thought possible.
Would you wonder why so many people suffer from chronic inflammation, mood disorders, and digestive problems–given access to medicine, high quality food, and a relatively relaxed and healthy life?
Do you feel like you're caught in "fight-or-flight" mode all the time, so that your body can't focus on working properly?
Okay, this is just what happens to a lot of men.
Your nervous system is one of the most beautiful things on this planet. In reality, it's so complicated that scientists always find out how it works, and they're finding some pretty amazing things.
Another such thing is the so-called polyvalential theory.
Guess what happens if the nerve is not strong enough?
Sure. Yes, exactly. You're caught in constant stress, gradually destroying your physical and mental health.
Luckily, you can cure yourself by learning about polyvagal theory and applying the techniques of vagus nerve stimulation that you will find in this book.
