What No One Told You About Nervous System Regulation, the Vagus Nerve, + Chronic Illness | Irene Lyon

Feb 26, 2025
01:03:11

Lately, it feels like everywhere I turn on social media, someone is talking about a vagus nerve hack or how the nervous system is the root of all health problems. While there’s some truth to the connection between the nervous system and overall well-being, a lot of misinformation is being spread. That’s why I’ve brought in my friend and nervous system expert, Irene Lyon, to help clear up the confusion, address some of the gaslighting happening in the health space, and explain what nervous system regulation really means.  

In this conversation, we explore the impact of stress, trauma, and modern life on our nervous systems, as well as the real science behind healing. If you’re looking for credible information on nervous system health, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.  

Topics Discussed:  

  • The rise of nervous system "hacks" and misinformation  

  • How stress and trauma affect long-term health  

  • What true nervous system regulation looks like  

  • Healing chronic conditions and childhood trauma  

  • The role of lifestyle changes in nervous system health
