The Vagus Nerve Fix: Calm Your Mind, Nourish Your Body & Reset Your Life

Feeling frazzled, anxious, or just plain exhausted? Your vagus nerve might be the missing piece. In this episode, Joy and Lorraine dive into the incredible world of the body’s “built-in reset button”—the vagus nerve—and share how you can tap into it for more calm, better sleep, less anxiety, and an overall midlife glow-up.

We’re also kicking off our 30-Day Vagus Nerve Challenge this June (and you’re invited)! Tune in for breathwork techniques, food tips, lifestyle shifts, and gentle movement that help you regulate stress and reclaim your peace. No book required—but we are using The Vagus Nerve Fix as our guide. Join Lorraine’s private support group for the challenge. Link below.

 

🔑 Key Topics of the Discussion Include:

• What the vagus nerve is—and why it matters so much for women over 45
• How chronic stress, age, and trauma weaken vagal tone (and how to fix it!)
• Breathwork practices to calm your nervous system in minutes
• What to eat to nourish your vagus nerve (hint: it’s not a fad diet)
• Surprising ways to tone your vagus nerve: cold showers, yoga, humming!
• Daily rituals for lasting calm, clarity, and emotional resilience
