The Vagus Nerve Connection: Unlocking Mental Health and Overall Well-being

Posted on January 31, 2024

Have you ever heard of the Vagus Nerve?

Chances are, it's something many people are unfamiliar with. However, the Vagus Nerve Connection plays a crucial role in our mental and physical health. In this blog post, we'll explore what the Vagus Nerve is, its significance in regulating our well-being, and how you can support its optimal functioning. Additionally, we'll introduce an innovative product called BrainTap that can assist you on this journey.

Understanding the Vagus Nerve:

The Vagus Nerve, also known as the "wandering nerve," is the longest and most complex nerve in the body. It connects the brain to various organs, including the heart, lungs, digestive system, and even the ear. This nerve serves as a vital communication pathway, relaying information and signals between the brain and the body.

The Impact of the Vagus Nerve on Mental Health:

What's fascinating about the Vagus Nerve is its influence on our mental well-being. Research has shown that individuals with higher vagal tone (the activity and responsiveness of the Vagus Nerve) tend to experience better emotional health, lower anxiety levels, and enhanced resilience to stress. It directly affects our stress response and plays a role in regulating our mood, emotions, and overall mental state.

Ways to Support and Stimulate the Vagus Nerve:

Fortunately, there are various practices you can incorporate into your daily routine to support and stimulate your Vagus Nerve. Deep breathing exercises, such as diaphragmatic breathing, have been found to increase vagal tone and promote relaxation. Regular meditation and mindfulness practices also have a positive impact on Vagus Nerve functioning. Additionally, engaging in social connections, such as meaningful conversations and nurturing relationships, stimulates the Vagus Nerve.

Introducing BrainTap Headset: A Companion for Vagal Health:

If you're looking for an innovative way to support your mental health and optimize Vagus Nerve functioning, consider trying the BrainTap headset. This groundbreaking product is designed to enhance your well-being by leveraging the science of brainwave entrainment and neurofeedback.

The BrainTap headset offers various features that make it a valuable tool for improving overall mental health. It uses gentle sound and light therapy to stimulate specific brainwave patterns, promoting relaxation, focus, and improved brain function. By wearing the BrainTap headset during your meditation or mindfulness practice, you can enhance the benefits of these activities and experience a deeper state of relaxation and mental clarity.

Conclusion:

The Vagus Nerve Connection is an essential yet often overlooked aspect of our mental and physical health. By understanding its significance and actively taking steps to support its optimal functioning, we can experience improved well-being. Consider incorporating practices such as deep breathing, meditation, and fostering social connections into your daily routine.

Furthermore, explore innovative tools like the BrainTap headset, which can complement your efforts and assist in stimulating Vagus Nerve function for enhanced mental health and brain function. Remember, taking care of your Vagus Nerve means taking care of your whole self.

Start prioritizing your mental health by embracing the power of the Vagus Nerve Connection today.

What Is Your Most Important Health Goal For 2021?

Posted on January 15, 2021

Happy New year!

I wanted to ask you a question that I think is very important. I want you to really think about this before you answer.

What is most important to you in terms of your health?

What is meaningful to you when you talk or think about your health?

Is it meaningful to you to have more time and to feel better every day?

Is it meaningful to you to have less pain and increase mobility?

What is your most important health goal for 2021?

I would love the opportunity to help and guide you to your goals.

Given what we saw in 2020 with this pandemic devastating the world, it’s so important to look into ways of avoiding issues with our health as we move forward. We must look into ways of doing things for ourselves that will minimize the risk of a virus like covid having serious effects on our health, short and long term.

It became very clear that those who are taking more pills and medications are the people who are more at risk; as well as those who are older. Now, we know we can’t change our age but we can impact the way that we age and our overall health.

I help people discover the root cause of their illness and I help them to intervene on the level of that root cause, in order to improve their overall health and wellness.

If there’s something that spoke to you in this video or you need help answering and figuring out these questions, don’t wait any longer. You deserve to live your life healthy. Book a complimentary call with me so I can help you reach your goals.

How Light and Electricity Impact Our Health and Quality Of Sleep

Posted on October 21, 2020

I wanted to talk to you today about light. And about electricity.

Why are those important to your health?

Think about sunlight and how it has different frequencies of light during the day. Depending on the time of day there’s more UV light than other times. This infrared light is part of what triggers our body’s circadian rhythm. We’ve gone from living outside, without clothes, and without shoes to living inside, fully clothed with shoes. Our circadian rhythm is created through our eyes with light, while we eat certain types of food, and our feet connected to the ground. All of us are electric. Our bodies are electric. We have an entire area of electricity around us. These frequency signals are like computer code and tell our body what time of day and what time of year it is and thus, sets our circadian rhythm.

How can you use this information to make yourself healthier? And, how do some of the choices you’re making actually make you unhealthy?

A lot of you have heard of melatonin. Many of us take this to help us sleep. Melatonin is actually a hormone that’s produced by our body in response to our established circadian rhythm based on light and electricity. It greatly impacts our ability to sleep.

Someone who does shift work can have a very difficult time with sleeping. Shift work greatly impacts your health, especially when you’re rotating back and forth between daytime and nighttime. Then you throw in bluelight with TV’s, Ipads, and phones, and our circadian rhythm is then telling us to wake up, even if it’s completely dark out.

If you have any issues with sleep (a very big problem that many of us have), I want to help you. There’s many things that go into sleeping: hormones, vitamin D levels, vitamin levels in general, detoxification, stress, hormones, and so much more. If you’re able to impact your circadian rhythm in a positive way, you can significantly improve your sleep and rest time.

If I’ve sparked your interest or any of this is impacting you, then I’d love to jump on a quick complimentary call to see where you’re at and what direction to take.

If you would like a much more personalized or in depth intervention with me, I offer you a Free MSQ and then a free call to review this with me. This questionnaire can be a useful tool in finding the root cause of your issues. Fill this out and review it with me. We will be able to evaluate where you’re at with your health and discuss ways to improve it. Use the link below to schedule this free offering.

What Is Leaky Gut and How It Heavily Impacts Your Health

Posted on October 21, 2020

Have you heard terms like “microbiome”, “probiotics”, “prebiotics”, “dysbiosis”, and “leaky gut”? There’s a lot of terms like those that are thrown around in the media and medical field.

I wanted to talk about it a little bit to help you understand how it can really impact your health and wellness.

Microbes are just little bugs, bacteria, fungus, and viruses that live on us and in us. Our human body is not just one person or organism. It is actually a huge colony of symbiotic organisms working together. Our human health is impacted by the microbiome and vice versa. When our microbiome is balanced and healthy, we humans are healthier. When our microbiome becomes imbalanced, we get sick.

Now, what is leaky gut syndrome?

We have skin that lines our gut. When they are healthy, these skin cells in our gut are stuck super tight together and they create a protective barrier where the only route to entering our body is through cellular channels. When we have dysbiosis, food allergies, or our microbiome is imbalanced, we develop inflammation in the gut. The inflammation in the skin cells of the gut cause separation between the cells. This separation allows proteins across into our blood stream that are not supposed to be able to get across. Now we have proteins, which aren’t supposed to be there, leaking into our bodies. Our body’s see these foreign proteins and our immune system immediately reacts to them creating antibodies. This process creates a great deal of inflammation and imbalance in our immune systems. Over time it creates food allergies, season allergies, autoimmunity, and worse. Our immune system is in overdrive trying to combat the constant assault from our leaky gut. This will continue until the leaky gut is fixed.

All of this contributes to seasonal allergies, autoimmunity, diabetes, stroke, among many other things.

None of these disease states are normal but we’ve been made to believe that it is.

If everything is healthy, you would never have to be on any medications of any sort.

In functional medicine, this is where we start. We make sure to address the root cause of your health issue. In order for things to function properly, they must be in balance.

If I’ve sparked your interest or any of this is impacting you, then I’d love to jump on a quick complimentary call to see where you’re at and what direction to take.

How Healthy Are You Actually? Here’s How To Find Out…

Posted on July 1, 2020

How healthy are you, really?

I know…you feel pretty decent most days, you see your doctor 1-2 times a year, and you have a couple medications that you take on the regular.

Maybe you have a few aches and pains, some sinus issues, or you’re tired a lot of the time…but everyone has that, right? We just have to suck it up I guess. At least that’s what we’re made to believe. Let me tell you – NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!

Learn more by watching this short video…

I’m here to let you know that a lot of these chronic symptoms that we have or cope with each day, are all symptoms of a greater problem. It’s a sign that our body isn’t right. There’s issues in our bodies that need to be addressed.

These symptoms can be very subtle in the beginning but over time it can have a huge impact for the worse.

Because of what we’re told and are made to believe, we start to believe that all of these things are normal and there’s no real solutions. It’s just part of life!

Our body has the tendency to cope really well for a while but then at some point there’s no more biochemical give to cope. That’s usually the time we end up in an emergency room, the doctor’s office, or with a new diagnosis and medication.

One great thing that we functional medicine physicians have that your doctor may not is a medical symptoms questionnaire. It will point out areas of your life and body that are struggling. As a functional medicine physician, this is a tool that I use often in order to evaluate where a client is at on the health-illness spectrum.

I prefer to use natural means to improve the body’s processes, and in finding health and wellness.

I want to challenge you today to take a real look at how healthy you actually are.

Comment below or contact me and I’ll send you this questionnaire for free. As well, book a complimentary call with me so that we can get you on the right path to wellness. Book here – bit.ly/HowHealthyAreYouActually

Is Crohn’s Disease Or Ulcerative Colitis Taking Over Your Life? It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way & Here’s Why…

Posted on June 26, 2020

Have you been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative Colitis, but not yet had surgery? Do you have pain every day of your life or many times during the week that are uncontrolled? Do you even have to cancel plans with friends and family because your symptoms are so bad?

If you continue down this path of illness, you’re 10 times more likely to develop colon cancer. You’re more likely to develop multiple autoimmune diseases. You can develop fistulas and infections that affect your whole body. These are all facts of life, among many more, for people with Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative Colitis.

It SHOULD NOT be that way!

To learn more, check out this short video…

My name is Dr. Christina Campbell and I’m here to tell you that there’s hope. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease when I was 12 years old. From there I began my health journey. I was told this would be a disease I would have for the rest of my life. I was told I would be in pain for the rest of my life. I was told that I would likely be unable to have children because of the inflammation. I was told a lot of things.

These things don’t have to be true.

I began to have less pain, more energy, and felt healthier and happier.

I rarely ever have pain anymore. I’m able to do so much more in my life, without having to maneuver around it because of my condition.

I found functional medicine where we really get to the root cause of your health issues. Not everyone who has Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative colitis will have the same symptoms or root causes. That’s why it’s so important to look at a person individually. Everyone’s different.

If you are ready to put your health first and learn more about improving your symptoms and gaining back energy, then please book a call with me for a complimentary consultation –
