How To Achieve Rest and Digest Mode with Stephanie Canestraro
Vagus means “wandering” in Latin - which makes sense considering the vagus nerve has a long, winding path from the brain to your digestive system. But not only is it the longest cranial nerve, but it's also in charge of the parasympathetic nervous system - meaning it plays a key role in many of your body’s functions including your body’s ability to achieve rest and digest mode.
In this episode of Essential Alchemy Jodi welcomes Dr. Stephanie Canestraro, chiropractor and soft tissue specialist, for a deep-rooted discussion on the vagus nerve. Dr. Stephanie is certified in functional medicine and a fellow vagus nerve expert who works with many elite athletes to help support performance optimization.
