Vagus nerve activation can mean different things depending upon which branch it is affecting . Is this supposed to help activate our parasympathetic system to calm us down or help us getting motivated? I wish more people would explain more about the intentions of the programs they create here 🧐🥰
LindaM, it is designed to support recovery and stimulation of the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in the autonomic nervous system. The vagus nerve has multiple branches influencing different functions, including parasympathetic activation (calming, rest, digestion) and other roles that can affect motivation and alertness.

It primarily aims to support the parasympathetic system - promoting relaxation, improved digestion, and calming effects. This aligns with the vagus nerve’s role in activating the "rest and digest" response.
However, the vagus nerve’s influence is complex, and stimulation can have nuanced effects depending on the branch targeted and individual response. The program’s intention is generally to enhance vagal tone for better autonomic balance, which often results in improved calmness and recovery rather than direct stimulation for motivation or alertness.
Infopathy Team thank you for the clarification. There is too much info out in the world re vagus nerve function for parasympathetic calming effects only and important that people know more that there are different branches that can be effected 👍🏻
