    Humming and chanting, used by religious orders around the world for thousands of years also stimulate the vagus nerve.

    Humming a simple tune or sounds you make up is a very good exercise in helping keep the Vagus healthy and functional. It's all in the frequency and vibration when you hum. Get your diaphragm moving like you are in front of a speaker at a rock concert. Literally 'Feel' the hum. This really makes a difference. Try it! 😊

    Think of kids who were crying and when they're calming they do a double quick inhale and exhale. Self soothing😉

    I started having issues in my early 20's,  it took me far too long to figure out and understand.  Started as dull burning pain in my back, then headaches, stiff neck.  In my late 20's and early 30's it got worse.  Eye sight, fatigue, headaches, pain got worse.  Went to doctors over the years that were always dismissive, shrugged it off or did a bare minimum blood test to tell me nothing was wrong.  Or they would listen to 8 different symptoms and try to suggest they were all isolated issues.  Got so fed up with it that I went and got a blood test on my own, started tracking my blood levels, started hitting supplements hard.  Sleep improved, gut improved, workouts got much better, headaches disappeared overnight.  Our current medical system infuriates me.  They prevent people from accessing health solutions so that they can treat illness.  Most doctors probably don't understand how much damage they are doing, but after the last 10-15 years. I'm convinced they are ruining lives.

    I am a Carnivore and have been for 3.5 years and Keto 4 years before that. I started including dairy back in my diet a few months ago, L Reuteri yogurt and cheese while cutting way down on butter. What a difference. That L Reuteri is like magic, my health was really good.and at 71, its actually better.

    Without realizing I was humming when I work at operating room as scrub nurse, fast paced setting up for the case/surgery I start humming… it relaxes me, focus on my task.

    So interesting! I have to say, I discovered, after 62 years, that I healed my lifelong IBS, I believe, by learning how to breathe, drinking more water, and found a psyllium husk bread recipe that I swear by (has 8 eggs in it). I had osteoarthritis as well, was in chronic pain for 20 years, stomach issues as well, and now I&apos;m no longer on pain medicine. One other thing I did was quit drinking daily with the help of ketamine therapy. It&apos;s so validating to see the science behind it. Thank you!
