What is the vagus nerve? The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that interfaces with the parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract. It’s important to keep the vagus nerve balanced and functioning properly. If we’re not stimulating the vagus nerve enough, this can impact our nervous system. In today’s video, I talk about the best ways you can go about stimulating your vagus nerve. We’ll cover vocal exercises, cold immersion, and the importance of spine alignment . Enjoy the video, and watch how a corrective chiropractor can help if your vagus nerve is out of balance and none of the tips we cover today are working for you.

I just recently came across yr videos and I think I have EVERY symptom you mention in many videos. I am being monitored for surgery on my neck but I don’t want to do that. I live in N Cali and wish there was a Dr. With yr expertise close. It would take me a long time to save up by envelope method to go see you. I have neuropathy in one arm, digestive and swallowing issues, my uvula deviates to one side and the list goes on. 😢

Thanks for the feedback!
There has been a up tick in anxiety especially caused by IBS and phone addiction in the west since our diets and lifestyle is poor quality , we need more lessons on activating anti-stress in our brain.
That's interesting.

I have an anxiety disorder. The most effective way outside of medication for me is to put on a cold compress that covers my head front to back. I bought them on amazon and I keep them in the fridge.
Thanks for sharing!
I have disc degenerative disease and spinal stenosis. Leaky gut and lot of digestive issues. My heart is working fast and my cardiologist couldn't find any issues with my health. I have fluttering, twitching all over body and brain..no dr here can help. I will try these exercises. I've been struggling silently for years
Thank you so much
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
The humming works! I didn't know why it helps but now i do
I'm glad! Please share it with your friends and family!
For how long?
@@julianbentayeb3972 after about one minute. But you breath in deep and hum on your exhale as long as you can. Works after about three long exhales with humming. I like to do the humming which makes your lips vibrate. You just got to find the right frequency for you.
I bet it doesn’t help that so many of us are always looking down at our phones with our necks bent. Natural solutions are always the best. God bless this man
Thank you!!! Great add!
Thank you for your video- can you tell me how long to do the throat vibration sound and how many times a day ?
30 seconds and 3-5 times a day.
He is telling you to say Om HE is giving you ancient Hindu practices. czcams.com/video/pXg90zxI2_A/video.html
the yoga breathing technque that will activate the throat is bhramari...you can check this on youtube..there are several videos..it is done with mouth closed and the sound produced is mmmmmm
Thanks for the insight.

Imagine having a neighbor, who hums at midnight, like me for example 😂😂😂
It works!
I tried the hot and cold showers, but my Raynaud’s was getting worse, until I read a comment by another person saying that it’s bad to do this if you have Raynaud’s. I had breast implant illness and mold toxicity and didn’t know why I was so sick for 12 years, until I found out about both. My organs were failing, and I had to have 3 major surgeries within 5 months before I could het my implants removed. Then as a courtesy from the hospital, I got pseudomonas aeriginosa for 7 weeks until my incision festered, and they did a vulture.
However, I was going to an upper cervical chiropractor and I felt calmer. They weee recommended by my regular doctor who went to them.
Now my son has mold, Lyme, Babesia, and anaplasmosis. He has horrible forward head posture and I can’t get him to correct it nor go to the chiropractor. He’s FULL of anxiety and won’t even lie back on his cervical pillow.
Any suggestions as to how to get him to do this? He walked away in the middle of this video to go get ready for therapy. He hates going, and this is a sticking point with us.
To the girl who had tinnitus. Vertigo check fir candida and paradise / get a GI map done - u find our lots from your stool.
I will do the humming as it works. There r also many ear exercises u can do for the vagus nerve too.
How did you get mold toxicity
@@chuck28ist Saline breast implants that had a silicone shell and leaked Inyo my body, and moving into a beautiful condo that had hidden mold because it backed up to a marsh that had crept closer to the condo. There was a patched up crack that was not remediated properly. I had it remediated and got out because the association fought me on this despite the mold reports

Can an autoimmune disease disrupt or affect the function of the vagus nerve?
My reason for asking is. I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism in 2018 which caused a domino affect of other health challenges that have been plaguing me…Digestive issues- which are chronic burping or chronic vomiting, acid reflux, allergies symptoms (sneezing stuffiness etc, especially when the acid reflux, and Hiatal hernia was just discovered most recently. Which I assume is from chronic vomiting or sneezing that shifted my stomach and led to the hernia.
I am sorry to hear you are going through this. Let's hop on a Discovery call to figure this out. You can do that here. align-wellness-center.appointlet.com/s/15-zoom-consoultation-with-dr-gregg
The answer is yes.
Hiatal hernia puts pressure on the vagus nerve and causes all the issues you listed plus many more. Vagus nerve activates your stomach to make acid and your liver to make bile.
I have a high thoracic scoliosis. Difficult to straighten my spine correct?

Hi, can I please get your help? I really hurt my Vagus nerve through my nose and neck injury in an accident.
What are the long term affects after having such trauma to my Vagus nerve? Sometimes I hear of people getting brain cancer after having such trauma to their heads. Will I have brain cancer?
Can I have nose surgery or any surgeries without any problems?
Thank you.

I think I need your help… can we connect?
My daughter is 6 years old , and suffered from cyclic vomiting syndrome . She complaints of “ neck pain “ , but she points it more towards the back of her head and close to her ears on both sides . Sometimes she says she can’t swallow . Her uvula is sometimes to the side . Is that all related to the vagus nerve ?
It could be, but sounds very complicated. Let's hop on a discovery call to start figuring it out. You can do that here. align-wellness-center.appointlet.com/s/15-zoom-consoultation-with-dr-gregg

My necks been damaged since I was 19, accident slammed downward, no doctor thinks my fatigue, crazy odd symptoms are from my neck, they say no it only goes up to your brain. I'm tired of being poked with pain needles, which don't work long term. Cervical instability, straight- no c curve, what can be done except prolotherapy, which isn't covered by insurance and expensive?

Can a vagus issue cause a chronic upper respiratory cough? Ive had this cough for years.
Please get that cough checked out can be a sign of more serious conditions
i coughed for 4 years straight, every day chronically - no mucus or anything just dry cough and i think it was because of vagus nerve issues. Nothing helped i tries many inhalers and meditation but what worked in the end was getting acupuncture! like fr i was sceptical but it worked

I am sorry to hear you are going through this. Both of the comments below are great ideas to reducing blood sugar issues. Let me know if I can help.
I tried the cold shower technique. Basically took my normal shower with warm/hot water and then turned it full cold and got in. It was a shock to say the least. I felt as if I was super dizzy, but went away as soon as I was done and warming back up. Is this normal? Figured it was my body going from hot to cold so quickly was a big shock.
I don't think this is normal, but there is a lot to know about you to figure if that is your normal response.
due to shock do it small incrimants at a time 5 seconds next day 10 seconds next one 15 next 20 etc. I had my left side lock up due to nerve damage first few attempts
do wim woff breathing before cold shower
👍🏻
Thanks

I have a mild-moderate forward head posture. When I turn my head to the left I become tachycardic and my blood pressure drops. I asked my GPS if it is my vagus nerve they laughed at me and said there the dr I'm the patient.
