Chronic pain affects more Americans today than DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, and CANCER combined. In fact, chronic pain is THE NUMBER ONE reason Americans access the healthcare system today. However, many people believe their only option for pain relief is found in drugstore options such as Ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol (to name a few).

How does the vagus nerve impact our digestion? Once again, Dr. Jockers finds himself in the hot seat today, being interviewed by a former guest on the show and functional medicine doctor as well, Dr. Kan. The two are talking about the importance of the vagus nerve in this illuminating masterclass. Go deep with Dr. Kan and Dr. Jockers on the nuances of the vagus nerve and how it impacts our body. From identifying some of the signs and symptoms of poor vagus nerve functioning, through to an appreciation of the importance of good digestion and good bowel movements, it's all here. Vitamin B12 deficiencies, creating an alkalising environment in your small intestine, and the release of digestive enzymes are also all covered by Dr. Jockers as he gives us a fascinating insight into our body's digestive process and the key role the vagus nerve plays as a bi-directional communication pathway between our gut and our brain. Please join us. "We think about digestion and in the functional nutrition world we always say 'we are what we eat'. Really, if we go deeper with that, we are what we digest and absorb." ~ Dr. David Jockers Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio In This Episode: 01:25 Where does the vagus nerve play a role in our digestion? 03:00 What are the signs of poor vagus nerve function? 09:50 Does the vagus nerve affect the gut-brain connection? 13:10 How often does Dr. Jockers witness chronic inflammatory conditions in his patients? 17:20 What a faecal stench can mean to your bile purification 19:20 Getting into a good rhythm with your bowel movements 21:45 Dr. Jockers's recommendations on how to alter the timing on when you go to the bathroom 23:43 How much water should you drink before you eat? 26:14 How the vagus nerve loves magnesium - and why 27:50 What movement pattern should you follow for better bowel movement?
