your fight or flight nervous system and your rest or digest nervous system. That's basically how addressing your vagus nerve can have benefit. Lower stress, improves digestion, improves cardiovascular function, improves focus, etc. That's the benefits of the vagus nerve. The more stress that you're under, the more likely it is that you have poor vagal nerve tone or poor nervous system balance.

wander into a doctor and have them jam a needle right behind your carotid artery because it's a delicate procedure.

It's also known as a stellate ganglion nerve block. It could be dangerous if the person doing it, it's kind of like if you would get a brain surgery, you'd preferably want the surgeon who's done like thousands of them versus the person every once in a while does them. Adeel does a lot of them. Another doctor, Dr. Matt Cook in San Jose, he does them.

Dr. Avi Herskovich, also he's in San Francisco, he does them. So there's a few people you can go to to get them done. And you sit up after having had the injection and you feel like you've smoked a joint and had a glass of wine all at once and your stress levels just melt away and it feels like that for at least a couple of weeks.
