The Three-Brain Connection Behind Mood, Cravings & Weight - Pt 3
The Heart Brain (Your “Emotional Regulator”)
Your heart communicates with your brain through the vagus nerve.
It also reacts instantly to stress, fear, and overwhelm.
Low heart-brain coherence = irritability, emotional reactivity, low resilience.
High coherence = calm, focused, emotionally stable.
When the heart brain is stressed You may feel-
- Quick to snap
- Easily exhausted emotionally
- Unable to calm down
- More cortisol surges
- Poor sleep
- Higher blood pressure
- Brain fog
FitnHealthy tips to support it-
- 10 minutes of brisk walking daily, after meal as a bonus to mop up fat storing insulin.
- Slow exhale breathing (4 seconds in, hold for 4 seconds, 8 seconds out or similar combo)
- Cut stimulants (coffee, energy drinks) in the afternoon
- Daily sunlight exposure (ideally morning) on the eyes/skin - more on this later
- Magnesium glycinate at night
Who wants Part 4 tomorrow? Hey, that rhymes🤣
How many of these are you prepared to try this week?
