illumINNATE Barcelona Podcast

Everyone is talking about the Vagus Nerve — breathwork gurus, biohackers, cardiologists. But almost nobody is talking about the spinal side of the story. In this episode, Dr. Francisco Turelli breaks down what the Vagus Nerve actually is, how it connects your brain to every organ in your body, and why Vertebral Subluxation might be silently strangling it. We go deep into proprioception — the hidden sensory system in your spine — Heart Rate Variability as a measurable window into your nervous system health, and the landmark research showing that chiropractic adjustments literally rewire your brain. If you want to understand why a principled chiropractic adjustment does so much more than fix back pain, this episode will change how you see your own body. https://www.illuminnatechiro.com/References & Clinical ResearchHaavik, H. & Murphy, B.
