One of the ways we can measure vagus nerve functioning is through something called heart rate variability.    There are particular probiotic strains that have been specifically shown to improve optimal neurotransmitter levels and help with depression and anxiety, manage stress, and reduce cortisol. We definitely want to get in our psychobiotic if we're having these concerns, while fixing the rest of the gut. And of course, omega-three and quercetin are really great healing nutrients for your gut too.   Subscribe to the Podcast here: Apple   |   Spotify   |  Stitcher Connect with Sinclair Kennally: Instagram: @‌detoxrejuvenation Website: https://detoxrejuvenation.com/
