Episode notes
Use Breath Holds To Boost Plasticity
- Do breathing exercises and breath holds to create positive stressors that boost neuroplasticity and resilience.
- Combine breath work with regular exercise and nutritious foods to support brain growth and recovery.
Two-Minute Vagus Stim Twice Daily
- Try an external vagus nerve stimulator like TrueVaga for short daily sessions to increase cerebral blood flow and parasympathetic tone.
- Use two minutes in the morning and two minutes at night to support relaxation, sleep, and in some cases reduce seizures.
Train Heart Coherence For Calm
- Use HeartMath coherence training to raise heart rate variability and send stabilizing signals from the heart to the brain.
- Practice coherence regularly to produce smooth 0.1 Hz heart patterns that reduce stress and improve regulation.
