Creating Safety with Food Through Toning Your Vagus Nerve

January 27, 2024 • Stephanie Mara Fox • Season 5 • Episode 200

Happy Satiated Saturday!

I first started learning about the vagus nerve when I did research for my published thesis on how to cultivate a relationship with the gut brain.

The vagus nerve plays a role in hunger, satiation, cravings, taste buds, and digestion. So you can imagine that having a toned vagus nerve is highly important when you're trying to cultivate a peaceful and regulating relationship with food.

In this week’s episode, you'll learn about what the vagus nerve is and 5 ways you can stimulate your vagus nerve before you eat to support your body in feeling safe around food.

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/creating-safety-with-food-through-toning-your-vagus-nerve

If you try out some of these vagus nerve toning exercises when around food, email me and let me know how it's going!

With Compassion and Empathy,
Stephanie Mara Fox
