Let’s talk about your Vagus nerve. It’s a super highway of communication between your gut & your brain. It’s 80-90% afferent, meaning your gut microbiome is actually in control, friends!
When you have overgrowths & imbalances, the message your brain is receiving is that you are not safe— and this puts you in a “fight or flight”, sympathetic nervous system dominance. Basically your body is constantly stressed.
We know that when you are in this state, you are not able to heal optimally— your immune system is impaired, your digestive function is dysregulated and the cycle of stress & inflammation continues.
An important part of overcoming digestive dysfunction, mood disorders, and auto-immunity is supporting the Vagus nerve up front.
