INTRODUCTION

Your heart will beat 100,000 times today without your giving it a second thought. You will be taking 23,000 breaths. Three times a minute, your blood will flow through your body, and your liver must continuously cleanse and detoxify the blood. The ever-changing bacteria species in your gut will work symbiotically with your digestive tract to break down your food and consume the nutrients that each of your cells requires to survive. Did you ever wonder how this happens when there is no conscious control? How do all those processes work together?

The key to this is the autonomous nervous system. The device is a wonder of evolution. This is the portion of the nervous system that regulates unconsciously guided bodily functions.

Our bodies are built to live and function without having to think consciously. As humans evolved, we increasingly increased our capacity for critical thinking. It was only possible as the mechanisms needed for survival were subconsciously or, ultimately, automatically controlled. The forebrains have evolved and let us think, ponder, and interact with the world. Meanwhile, our brainstem has kept us alive and healthy.

The brain-stem is the spinal cord's thickest and highest level. There are several information control centers within the brainstem, called nuclei, each with a different set of functions from which it manages and sends or receives signals.

These mechanisms alert us to both internal and environmental stressors and threats to our survival. If such stressors are triggered by an illness that develops in our bodies, anxious thoughts about tasks that need to be done, or the physical appearance of a tiger in front of us, this system's automatically controlled functions enable us to survive. These functions are regulated by a branch of the autonomic nervous system called the sympathetic branch (or, for convenience, sympathetic nervous system). It is understood that the sympathetic nervous system raises the heart rate, raises the pulse rate, reduces pulse volume, shunts blood flow to muscles in the arms and legs and away from the liver and digestive tract, and dilates our eye pupils. This method helps us to counter stressors or "take flight" and run away from the presenting stressors. It is called the "fight-or-flight" condition when the sympathetic nervous system is involved.

There is, by comparison, another branch of the autonomic nervous system that helps us to relax and recover from the day's rigor and tasks. It helps us to remain calm, lower our heart rate, lower our breath rate to take deeper, fuller breaths, and shunt blood flow away from the limbs and into the internal organs, which enables our bodies to heal, stay calm and even procreate. This branch of the autonomic nervous system is called the parasympathetic branch (the parasympathetic nervous system, to be exact). It is called the "rest-and-digest" condition when the parasympathetic nervous system is involved.

The vast majority of controls claimed by the parasympathetic nervous system pass through a particular nerve pair in the body-the vagus nerve, which is the subject of this book. It is the only nerve with its roots in the brainstem and passes through the entire body. The vagus nerve (actually the vagus nerves, because there are two paired structures, with one on either side of the body) controls movement of the heart, lungs, throat and airway muscles, liver, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, small intestine, and part of the large intestine. How well the functions of the vagus nerve are a good determinant of health; vagus nerve dysfunction is strongly associated with illness.

Earlier, we assumed that nerves had a simple job: to relay signals rapidly from one place to another. We now find that the messages and signals transmitted by the vagus nerve is much broader and more significant than we knew initially; in addition, it is the direct connection between the brain and the gut microbiome. The vagus nerve is the most critical means of communication pathway regarding food, nutritional status, and the ever-changing population of bacteria, viruses, yeast, parasites, and worms living within our digestive tracts.

Harmony between the two branches of the autonomous nervous system is important in order to live life. Overactivation of one branch and disregarding the opposing branch may cause severe loss of function. Chronic disorder sends us later of instability and disease. The parasympathetic system loses the ability to function if the stress levels remain too high for too long. Blood flow and function are based on the sympathetic branch, meaning blood flow to the parasympathetic branch will be restricted, and thus function will be decreased. The reverse is also true, as parasympathetic system overactivation will hinder your ability to cope with possible stressors and build risks for your survival.

It is a very common problem today: that we are living under enormous stress levels and placing massive amounts of pressure on ourselves. The capacity of our bodies to differentiate between types of stressors has not yet developed, and mental and emotional stressors evoke the same reaction as the appearance of a lion, tiger, or bear anything that threatens our existence. This means we will respond identically to the imminent physical danger, just like wed respond to our high school teacher shouting "pop quiz," or our supervisor sternly exclaiming she wants to see you "immediately" in her office. Our bodies generate high levels of inflammation under consistent stress rates and are not given the opportunity to heal and relax, which is necessary to maintain optimal function. For this cause, we break down much faster and more frequently than we used to. We are developing autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis of Hashimoto, and higher levels of multiple sclerosis than our medical system can keep up with. We are developing all cancers and heart disease and are dealing with alarmingly high levels of obesity and diabetes, and collectively, our metabolism has never been worse. Our bodies will fight back and perform the tasks that our cells performed, helping us to resolve many of those conditions, provided the right opportunity to heal. The problem is so many of us don't give this opportunity to our bodies.

We stress ourselves by consuming highly refined foods (which are brought to us by an agricultural system that is more concerned with high yields and convenience than nutritional value) while spending more time indoors, away from nature, and worrying about loved ones while failing to care about oneself. Meanwhile, we want our physicians and healthcare professionals to keep up with our life's demanding rate of transition.

There is a solution to these problems: take back your own health obligation.

Instead of depending on your physicians to monitor your wellbeing, take power back, and use them as a tool to test your own hypotheses. Do your own study, learn how to handle your own stressors, and discover what causes are bringing you into a stressed state. Your primary care doctors are a very valuable tool, but you're eventually setting yourself up for failure when you turn over responsibility to a program low of money and oversees hundreds and thousands of patients.
