Episode 3140:

Dr. Neal Malik answers Maureen’s question by unpacking the importance of vagal tone, the activity of the vagus nerve, which helps regulate stress, digestion, and immune function. Although vagal tone can't be directly measured, practices like deep breathing, meditation, and even singing may enhance its function and support faster recovery from stress.

Quotes to ponder:

"Vagal tone is all about how active or inactive the vagus nerve is when sending signals to the body and brain."

"One potential advantage to having a highly active vagus nerve is a faster recovery from stressful situations."

"Even though vagal tone really can’t be measured accurately, there are some conditions associated with an abnormal vagal tone."
