The Vagus Nerve: Polyvagal Theory: Activated and access the healing power of the Vagus Nerve. Psychological and emotiona, (Paperback)

This book is being written during the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic. For the first time in many of our lifetimes, the entire world is fighting an unseen enemy, and the biggest losers are Americans. Why? Why are Americans suffering and dying at more than double the percentage of other countries? The answers can probably be found in your refrigerator or pantry. If you are American, you've been sold a bunch of bolognas (literally) about being too busy to prepare and eat whole, natural food. Fast food and highly processed food have become so typical for you that you can't even imagine a day without them. Almost every food label in an American pantry has sugar or corn syrup in it. Practically every meal in America has starch as a significant component. Fiber is rare. Vitamins are even more limited.

Americans have suffered and died from this pandemic at an alarming rate because chronic diseases are most common in America due to Americans' unhealthy diet and habits. It's time for a change. Equally troubling, countries other than America have chronic disease cases on the rise. Why? They're buying into the American diet. This consumer ignorance and corporate greed must stop. And the reality is that it can end. Easily. Simple lifestyle changes can turn the tide on escalating health risks.

What about you? Do you struggle with mysterious aches and pains, chronic diseases, anxiety, depression, brain fog, digestion issues, fatigue, inflammatory complications, dizziness, or other unexplained symptoms? These maladies can all be helped or even eradicated with lifestyle changes that will improve your vagal tone. What is your vagal tone? Your body has a natural, built-in regulator of health and well-being known as the vagus nerve. If it is working correctly, your physical and mental health will be the beneficiaries, and you will have a healthy vagal tone. The Vagus Nerve seeks to illuminate this pathway to better health that you may not find at your typical doctor's office. Hopefully, by the completion of this book, you will:
