Donna is joined by Carol Garner-Houston, founder of Brain Harmony, an award-winning, drug-free, therapist-supported at-home program that improves cognition, nervous system function, brain health, and healing.  They discuss strengthening your brain to better handle stress and regulating the Vagus nerve, which improves organ function, rest, and digestion. All of which contribute to healing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Stress is everywhere, we can´t control it, but we can build neurological resilience to cope with it better.
In many cases it is possible to reset a dysfunctional nervous system and improve brain function.
The Vagus nerve connects our important organs – when it functions well our overall health improves. 
The right music, sound waves and stimulus can rebalance the Vagus nerve and damp down our stress response.
Give the brain the right inputs.
Brain Harmony can be used by all family members. Some nervous pets respond positively.
