In this episode we go down the rabbit hole or "wandering nerve" of all things Vagus Nerve. A topic I am fascinated by. I chat with Emrys Goldsworthy, an expert in this area.
Emrys is the director and principal clinician at Athletica Physical Health and has owned and operated clinics for over 10 years. In addition to practicing as a Musculoskeletal Therapist, he is the writer and presenter of his own method "Functional Neuroarticular System" and "Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation". Both these methods have been taught to clinicians in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Previously, he was the Senior Lecturer for the Department of Musculoskeletal Therapy at the Endeavour College of Natural Health, a position he held for over 9 years.

Emrys has a special interest in using neuromodulation (nerve stimulation and low level laser therapy) with nutrition and lifestyle interventions in order to treat a wide variety of conditions. These range from musculoskeletal pain to neurological conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and neurodegenerative disease to gastrointestinal issues such as SIBO, IBD, IBS and intestinal permeability.
In this episode we cover;
- What is the vagus nerve
- How the Vagus nerve impacts our health - digestive, SIBO, mental health, autism etc
- How improving vagal tone supports those experiencing SIBO
- Signs and symptoms of poor vagal tone and strength
- What causes poor vagal tone
- How we can stimulate the vagus nerve at home - face baths, gargling and oh so much more
- What the transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) method is
