How to hack your Vagus Nerve: Exercises to dramatically reduce inflammation, trauma and anxiety with vagal stimulation
The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn’t know you had.
The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys.
Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician,
“Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained.”
Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore
“The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body.”
Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures.
Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such
- Anxiety disorder

This book had all the potential to be interesting and informative, yet it was poorly written and nobody appears to have had edits. The author presents "research" and gives vague references to "studies" and doctors, with no citations or information that allows you to cross-check her claims. It also appears that this author just lifted information from other sources, as there were multiple references to "previously-mentioned" items that were never mentioned at all, and there were many acronyms that were never explained. The writing was more like a random stream of consciousness by someone with opinions but no peer-reviewed evidence. Don't waste your money or your time on this book.

Who knew the vagus nerve did so much?
I had no idea the vagus nerve that the vagus nerve was so crucial to so many daily body functions. This book opens by explaining what the vagus nerve is responsible for, what happens when it gets wonky, and why it is important to fix it. I really appreciated that the author explains what can be done to tune up the vagus nerve. I also liked that most of the things can be done within the comfort of my own home (yoga poses, push ups, stretching) Overall, I look forward to sprucing up my vagus nerve.

It does everything
It is amazing how many functions of our bodies the vagus nerve controls ad how much can go wrong if it’s not working properly. Thankfully stimulated it to work better can be as simple as singing, exercising, praying etc.

This book is terribly written. it has grammatical errors that work against clarity, a weird mix of vague phrases and medically precise phrases, and a lot of repetition. it might have valid content, but I can't trust anything this poorly produced.

The information presented was interesting; unfortunately it was overshadowed by the poor editing, which made this book hard to follow.

Very detailed and informative
Worth the time to read and learn the functions of the vagus nerve which controls or monitors virtually every bodily function.
