In this episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, I explore the essential nutrients that power up your vagus nerve for optimal health, higher HRV, less stress, and more energy. You’ll learn why the vagus nerve is crucial for stress resilience, mood, and overall recovery, as well as how heart rate variability (HRV) acts as its report card. I break down the science behind five key nutrients: B vitamins, choline, magnesium, omega-3s, and vitamin D, explaining what each does, why they matter, and the best food and supplement sources to easily support your nervous system.
I also highlight the common deficiencies in these nutrients and how that may be contributing to symptoms like low energy, brain fog, and poor stress recovery. With practical tips and some personal supplement recommendations, you’ll understand exactly how to start upgrading your health through nutrition.
