The more we focus on our gratitude, we're rewiring our brains to be more grateful. The more we focus on non-judgment, we're actually training our brains. We're rewiring our brains to be less judgmental, including self-judgment. The sense of calm that we're experiencing is really in part activation of our parasympathetic nervous system.
Feeling overwhelmed by stress? You're not alone, and this episode of The Natural Healing Show might just hold the key to relief. Host Catherine Carrigan sits down with Dr. Greg Hammer, a Stanford University professor and expert on the vagus nerve, to discuss how activating this crucial nerve can lead to profound natural healing.

Hammer explains how chronic stress impacts our bodies and how simple practices like deep breathing and gratitude meditation can stimulate the vagus nerve, triggering the parasympathetic nervous system to promote relaxation and well-being. But it doesn't stop there. Dr. Hammer dives into a holistic approach to health, emphasizing the importance of good sleep hygiene, regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and even the role of supplements and medication in achieving optimal wellness.
He also highlights the transformative power of mindfulness and meditation in rewiring our brains to foster a sense of calm and reduce stress. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone looking to manage stress and improve their overall health naturally. Whether you're new to the concept of the vagus nerve or looking for fresh insights, Dr. Hammer's expertise offers valuable guidance.
Tune in to learn how activating your vagus nerve can be a game-changer for your mental and physical health.
