Losing your memory? Can't focus or concentrate? Do you have brain fog or tire easily? Have you lost your zest for life or motivation? Do people tell you this is all a normal part of aging? If so, your brain may be growing old too fast, or degenerating. Modern diets, a stressful lifestyle, and environmental toxins all take their toll on the brain. This doesn't just happen to seniors - brain disorders and degeneration are on the rise for young and old alike. The good news is the brain is extremely adaptable and wants to get well.

Long before the first pharmaceutical companies opened their doors in the 1850s, doctors treated people, not symptoms. And although we've become used to popping pills, Americans have finally had it with the dangerous side effects, addiction, and over-prescribing - and they're desperate for an alternative. Here's the good news: That alternative has been here all along in the form of ancient treatments used for eons in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Greek medicine.

Lacking Depth but good introductory info
May be I had a wrong expectation about this book. Book sprinkles good amount of information about Vagus Nerve and how is connected with various functioning of body organs and systems.
But I felt that the book lacked depth and some amount a sticking story.
If someone had read book on nutrition, diet, mindfulness, sleep - you can skip this book and follow what is said in rest of the book. Because you will only learn the vagus nerve is connected to all these things. Any dysfunction or impairment leads to poor function of vagus nerve which subsequently affects other systems of the body one by one.
Active methods to activate Vagus nerve Slow Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing, Getting great sleep, Love your space , 3. Sleep on your side for sleep, cold exposure, hum or chant mantras, gargling, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, laughter, social interaction, listening to music, smart dietary choices, intermittent fasting, exercises, resistance training, aerobic exercise, sunlight exposure,avoidance of coffee, supplementation, pro-biotics, omega-3 fatty acids, etc are some of suggestions in this book.
Passive methods to activate Vagus nerve : Auricular acupuncture, massage therapy and reflexology, Visceral manipulation, chiropractic care
So, if you read the above 2-3 paragraphs, that will be the takeaway for you.
I felt that I paid more for this audible book despite the member price

Easy to Understand for Average Person
I researched the Vagus Nerve prior to purchasing this audiobook. I was looking for a complete guide for the average person looking to optimize their health. This is the book! It is thorough but written in easy to understand language and with simple examples. Breathing through with the diaphragm and nose has been the best thing I have learnt. I am retraining my body after many unclear health issues and challenges over the last 10 years. I am going through it again to see what else I missed or need to implement. Well done!

Elton John? & Great book
When he was talking about the effects of listening to Mozart, the bit about Mozart seemed to conclude and then the words “Elton John” were spoken as it that was the title of a new section. After that, the book continued without any further information or mention of Elton John.
I loved this book and read it because I have IBS-C. My colon doesn’t move! After 5 minutes breathing for the last 4 nights, my colon has done its job 4 days in a row (inconceivable!!!) I will do more exercises but I definitely think this is a fruitful path for me. Thank you for writing this book!

Boring!!!
Read like someone cut and pasted info from Wikipedia on the physiology and pathology of every organ in the body. It dragged on and on, with nothing practical offered until the last two, very short chapters. My conclusion: this was an infomercial for this doctor. Oh yeah.... this functional “medical” doctor is actually a chiropractor. Don’t waste your time on this. Read ( or listen to) the experts: Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Peter Levine, Stanley Rosenberg, Kathy Kain.

Exactly what it promises to be. Not sure yet but hoping there’s a PDF download of lists - written form of the suggested exercises, or else I’ll have to go way back and take notes. But, good book.

"Put the Pieces Together for Me"
This book helped synthesize a bigger picture for me as to why things like cryo/cold-therapy, breathing exercises, music, laughter, yoga/Pilates, etc are said to be important for improving HRV and thus long term health, but I didn't understand how or why about the whole Sympathetic/Para-sympathetic nervous system works...the author does that in Ch.15.
