#45 Part 2 The Regulated Woman: The Vagus Nerve - What It Does and Why It Matters

In this conversation, chiropractor and applied kinesiologist Dr. Carrie Rigoni and I break down what the vagus nerve actually is, what it does, and why understanding it changes the way you think about your stress response. We cover why your body is processing threat faster than your conscious brain can keep up with, why a day off or a meditation won't shift a dysregulated baseline, and how your nervous system may have been shaped before you were even born.We also get into perimenopause - why women who have been pushing hard for decades arrive at this transition with so little capacity left - and why regulating the nervous system through body-based work and psychoeducation is what creates real and lasting change.Dr. Carrie RigoniWebsiteInstagramFree Resource - Check Your Vagus NerveReady to Work With Me?The HEAL Method
