Ep49 - Fat Loss & the Vagus Nerve?

As many of you listeners know I have been fascinated by nervous system regulation - specifically polyvagal theory and activating the Vagus Nerve to help build resilience in emotional regulation... What has this got to do with fat loss? Well, when we are less emotionally regulated we will seek to avoid or control difficult emotions and physical sensations, to numb out - through our eating behaviours perhaps through restriction of food or binge eating. This is precisely why I use nervous system regulation (emotional and physical regulation) in my therapeutic work and also with the nutrition & mindset clients I coach. And it is a GAMECHANGER. In this episode, I give you an intro on what Polyvagal theory is, where the Vagus Nerve becomes involved and how it can help you regulate yourself so that you can make better eating and life choices! My coaching programmes are founded on this premise that we need de-stress our way to weight loss - if it's going to last.
