Okay Dr. Mindy here with your Reset tip for the day and this is a really
important one so there is a nerve that comes out of your brain goes to your
heart goes to your lungs go to steer digestion goes to your liver goes to
your pancreas and it controls function of all of those organs and it is such a
powerful nerve that if this nerve goes off in your body it can start to affect
your moods it can slow down your digestive tract it can actually rev up
your heart rate and your or it can cause you to have a more shallow breathing
pattern it can lower your immunity it can cause inflammation to go up that's
how crazy powerful this nerve is and most people don't know about it it's
called your VAGUS NERVE and what's important about this nerve is that it
literally comes out of your lower part of your brain out of your brain where
your brain stem is in from a Spine perspective it comes down through right
by the atlas and the access for those of you that have seen a chiropractor you
know how important these these two bones are this vagus nerve will come down out
of that area and start to send information to these vital organs and
what the body will then do is that if all of these organs are working right
then they'll send a message back up to the brain via the vagus nerve and tell
the brain that hey everything's really cool down here you don't need to worry
about us but there's one major thing that's happening to people and it's
called the Vagus Stimulation is the the vagus tone is dampening it's
getting depressed and so there's a really interesting study out right now
called Vagus Nerve Stimulation you can go and google it where they're looking
to actually implant a sensor into the vagus nerve in the side of your neck and
start to rev up the tone of the vagus nerve so that the brain can actually
coordinate all of these organs efficiently but guess what we see from a
chiropractic standpoint and what is so interesting is most people think of
chiropractors as only being a source of relief from back and
back pain and headaches but what you guys that go to chiropractors on a
regular basis realized is that when you align this bone this top bone your atlas
you get that bone lined up so that there's no pressure on this vagal nerve
what ends up happening is your digestion gets better and your heart rate calms
down and you can take deeper breaths and those of you who've been under
chiropractic care for a really long time you start to notice that your immune
system goes up and your inflammation goes down and all of that is happening
from stimulating and balancing one nerve it's called the vagus nerve and hands
down it is the most important nerve in your body so if you're seeing a
chiropractor here's my recommendation to you make sure they're x-ray in the top
part of your spine the major we call subluxation the major misalignment
patterns that we see in our office that start to tone dampen down the vagal tone
our atlases that go Anterior we have atlases that go Superior and we have
Aachen occiput that will go Inferior this combination tends to cause more
damage to the vagal tone than anything else so ask your chiropractor have they
measured it do they know if that's the pattern that your Atlas is that it's
that important because what we're seeing and what I get is I get all the people
who have over medicated and they've tried every trick in the book but really
what they need to do is calm something down like their nervous system and once
they get their nervous system calm then the body can start to heal so it's
called your vagus nerve check it out it's called vagal nerve stimulation and
if you're going to see chiropractor please ask them what position is my
atlas in so that they they you want to aid and make sure they understand that
they that they're working with the right bone and that they're they know that but
also we want to make sure that you're getting the best care possible and that
you're getting this vagal tone balanced out
so vagus nerve I what I'd like to hear from you guys is I'd love those of you
like chiropractors tell me what you know what
you feel after a chiropractic adjustment because most people tell me it's
happiness and they feel energy and they feel light and all of that is because we
a chiropractic adjustment can actually stimulate the vagus nerve so hope that
helps as always I love being on this journey with you all
