In this episode, I chat with Dr  Kevin Tracy, a renowned researcher and inventor, about his journey in medicine and the significance of the vagus nerve in health. Kevin shares personal anecdotes, including the impact of his mother's illness on his career path. The discussion delves into the vagus nerve's role in regulating inflammation, heart rate variability, and its potential in treating autoimmune diseases through vagus nerve stimulation. Kevin emphasises the importance of healthy lifestyle choices and the need for further research in this promising field.

Key Takeaways:
The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating inflammation.
Heart rate variability is a measure of vagal tone but has limitations.
Vagus nerve stimulation shows promise in treating autoimmune diseases.
Clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation.
The vagus nerve connects the brain and immune system, influencing health.
Cold exposure may activate the vagus nerve and reduce inflammation.
Healthy lifestyle choices are essential for overall well-being.
Future research may uncover more applications for vagus nerve stimulation.
