It seems that it takes time for my Vagus nerve to wake up. Probably a week before I begin to notice. Could also be that this heart connect may need immense healing so win win as long as you keep at it.

Dinner before dark? Vagus nerve says, "Oh YES!" Think of your vagus nerve as your inner chill guru. It loves a good sunset dinner deadline. Why? Late-night snacking throws off its rhythm. Hello, bloating and anxiety! Sunset dinners give your gut a 12-14 hour vacay. More time to clear out the junk. Result? A happier vagus nerve. Better digestion, less stress. Who knew meal timing was self-care?

Rheumatoid arthritis: body's own fireworks show gone rogue? Turns out, our vagus nerve—a chill conductor—might just be the DJ to calm the inflammation rave. New study: zapping the ear (taVNS) dials down RA symptoms. Think tiny electric pulses, like a reset button for your immune system. DAS28-CRP scores dropped nearly triple compared to sham! Cytokines chilled out. 68% hit ACR20. Imagine feeling *that* much better! The vagus nerve whispers "calm down" to rogue immune cells. Less TNF-α, less IL-6. Bonus: effects lingered, and side effects were just a bit of skin tingles. So, RA relief via the ear? Maybe it's time we all give our vagus nerve a little love. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04114-7

Ear tickling for a memory boost? It's not as silly as it sounds! Scientists zapped ears (gently!) at 40 Hz. The target? The vagus nerve. The result? Working memory got a 17% precision upgrade! Think of it as "noise-canceling" for your brain. Like a clean radio signal, thoughts become clearer. The secret? Gamma waves, boosted by vagus nerve stimulation. They help your brain lock onto memories with laser-like focus. Imagine future potential: sharper focus for everyone! https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41483002

The vagus nerve critically modulates neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It operates via the gut-brain axis. Vagus efferents transmit gut-derived signals, mainly short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), to brainstem nuclei. These signals inhibit HDAC6 in neurons. This inhibition promotes tubulin acetylation and microtubule stabilization. Conversely, vagotomy induces microtubule depolymerization and impairs axonal transport. Vagus stimulation restores microtubule networks. It also reduces protein aggregates by 45% and improves behavioral outcomes. The vagus nerve acts as a gut-to-brain conduit. It fortifies neuronal microtubules, potentially paving the way for non-invasive stimulation therapies. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1043661825003998 More info: Ever feel like your gut's calling the shots? Turns out, it might be! New research highlights the mighty vagus nerve. It's not just for digestion. It's a superhighway from your gut to your brain. Think fiber-fueled texts from your microbiome. These texts? Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). They tell your brain cells to tidy up! SCFAs help stabilize microtubules, the cell's support beams. Like rebar in concrete. Without this gut-brain chat, those beams get wobbly. Hello, neurodegeneration! Scientists used fancy tools: lasers, microscopes, even rodent obstacle courses. The verdict? A happy vagus nerve equals happy brain cells. Less gunk, more function. Vagus nerve stimulation? The future of brain health? Maybe! So, listen to your gut! Your brain might thank you for that next salad.
