This Is The #1 Most Powerful Tool You Have for Health & Longevity
The vagus nerve controls everything you never think about - your heart, lungs, immune system, and inflammation response. Dr. Kevin Tracey, the pioneering neurosurgeon who discovered how to hack it, reveals why this "great nerve" holds the key to healing chronic pain and autoimmune diseases. After performing over 1,000 brain and spinal surgeries, Dr. Tracey made a groundbreaking discovery, that electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve could stop inflammation in its tracks. That discovery has led to revolutionary treatments that have helped patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis walk again after years of debilitating pain. I was blown away by his patient Kelly's story, and it’s a must listen. This episode will transform how you think about the mind-body connection and give you hope that science is on the verge of solving some of our most challenging health problems.
