<p><strong><em>In this episode Joanne Williams, LCSW discusses</em></strong> the Vagus nerve and how to use to it to lower BP, heart rate, depression, anxiety, PTSD and other stress responses. And dozens of other medical issues.</p> <p><strong>Summary of Todays show:</strong> 7 ways to increase your Vagus nerve activity Go from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest within minutes told by scientists</p> <p>We will do an actual demonstration of how to activate this critical nerve to help you calm yourself automatically.</p> <p>This is the most important Podcast I have ever done because I think it is THE answer to stress and anxiety.</p> <p>I have been studying the Vagus nerve for almost a year.  Once I heard about its possible calming effects on anxiety, PTSD and depression, I was hooked to find out more.</p> <p>I shared a clients almost magical results.   </p> <h2><strong>“The mysterious nerve network that quiets pain and stress — and may defeat disease.” </strong></h2> <p>This is about activating a complicated system of a network of nerves that connects the brain to the heart, the gut, the immune system, and many of the organs.
