  • Vagus Nerve: The Brain’s Effect on Immunity and Gut, Part 1 and Part 2

Speaker: Donald Yance. One click orders parts 1 and 2 of this 3-hour presentation. In Part 1 we review vagus nerve physiology and discuss how positive emotions build physical health through this connection between the brain and the gut, and how techniques such as meditation, prayer, mindfulness, deep breathing and listening to relaxing music provide great benefit to patients with heart disease and cancer through the stimulation of the vagus nerve. Part 2 examines the gut’s effect on our brain functioning.

Part 2 focuses on the gut flora and its influence on immunity and brain functioning. Recent research shows that a lack of beneficial gut flora and toll-like receptors in the gut wall stimulate a neuroendocrine response to gut pathogens.
