Understanding the vagus nerve is crucial for anyone seeking effective stress management and holistic wellness. This remarkable nerve, the longest of the cranial nerves, plays a pivotal role in regulating our body's stress response, connecting the brain to critical systems including the heart, lungs, and digestive tract.
By learning how to stimulate and strengthen the vagus nerve, individuals can improve their ability to switch between fight-or-flight and rest-and-digest modes, potentially reducing the risk of stress-related health issues like anxiety, high blood pressure, and chronic inflammation.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the science behind the vagus nerve, its impact on overall health, and practical techniques to enhance its function for better stress resilience and well-being. This week, episode 257 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about the special nerve that helps with stress!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
