Unlock the Power of the Vagus Nerve for Health Optimisation | Interview with Dr Stefan Chmelik
In this episode of Biohacking Eve: Health Optimisation for Women, host Judith Mueller interviews Dr Stefan Chmelik, a Harley Street practitioner with 35 years of experience, about the vagus nerve and its critical role in well-being.
Together, they explore vagal tone, the difference between resilience and anti-fragility, and the widespread need to downregulate the autonomic nervous system. Dr Chmelik introduces the Sensate device, which uses sound to improve vagal tone, and highlights the significance of exposure to nature, community, and meaningful relationships for optimal health.
Additional topics include metabolic flexibility, nutritional choices, and the roles of cholesterol and fat in women's health. Tune in to learn how understanding and optimising your vagus nerve can improve stress management, overall health, and resilience.
