Such a wonderful few days at the Convention in Orlando.

I had a wonderful time speaking on the topic of Cognitive Resilience, on behalf of and being on the most amazing panel some amazing colleagues and new friends including , and Dr. Michelle Jourdan.

Also got to meet and share my book and work with the always amazing .

Lastly I was lucky to run into some wonderful friends including and .

What a wonderful trip and I'm already looking forward to it again next year!

I just ended a nearly 3-day fast, and I do this once every single month.

Fasting is a powerful accelerator of metabolic activity, mitochondrial efficiency, autophagy, digestive rest, parasympathetic Vagus Nerve activation and healing...

Not to mention the amazing cognitive benefits, and feelings of accomplishment and personal capability.

I drink black coffee and water with electrolytes throughout so this is not a dry fast.

72 hours is an advanced fast but shorter, simpler options are also quite beneficial.

If you've thought about fasting but are unsure or haven't done it in a while, and if you feel like you are up for a challenge, comment FAST below and I'll send you details of our next monthly fasting challenge!

What is your favorite way to start the day?

Do you make sure to get out into the morning sunlight for 5-15 minutes daily?

Do you start your day with exercise, breathing or meditation practices?

Do you practice any specific Vagus nerve activation exercises to prime your day for success?

How do you begin your day to ensure that you are capable, resilient and strong?

My favorite way is to get out for a morning Sunrise Bike Ride along Lake Ontario. The best bonus is I get to take photos like this one!

Comment below with your favorite way to start your day!

What a cool experience to see my name referenced in this article on Vogue Wellness today.

Nervous system regulation is truly the key to balance and Wellness.

Enabling the shift from sympathetic fight or flight to parasympathetic rest digest and recover by activating the vagus nerve is truly the key to resilience and recovery.

Learning To Breathe is the key to enabling this nervous system regulation to occur.

Had such a wonderful time representing at the Annual International Conference in San Diego the past few days!

Presented on the topic of 'Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Improved Cognition' to a packed session.

Reconnected with some amazing friends including and and made some great new connections.

It's always a great vibe at this conference, looking forward to doing it all again next year!

The Vagus Nerve is most active during the hours you are ASLEEP.

If you are not getting great sleep, you’re not giving your Vagus nerve the opportunity to do its job.

The Vagus Nerve turns on the REST-DIGEST-RECOVER functions through the Parasympathetic Nervous System.

Great sleep is the key to optimal recovery.

Researchers have shown through ENG testing of the Vagus Nerve that its electrical signals:

- Increase immediately upon falling asleep
- Rise through the night
- Drop down immediately upon waking up

This shows that Vagus nerve interacts with Melatonin to regulate Circadian Rhythm and enable us to HEAL!

The Solution to Pollution is Dilution.

Hydration is key to lowering the toxic burden in the brain and body!

Listen to the latest episode of The Health Upgrade Podcast in which and I discuss the Glymphatic system and the roles of sleep, exercise and hydration!

GLP-1 satiety signals are sent up to the brain via the Vagus Nerve.

Low Vagal tone has been linked to overeating and poor signaling of fullness to the brain.

Maybe it's not a lack of GLP-1...

Maybe it's actually low Vagal tone.

Had such a great time presenting today at the CDID conference in Savannah Georgia.

This presentation was entitled "The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Circadian Biology" and included a lot of new info that I shared with this wonderful group of Chiropractic Internists.

Here are some take home points:
- Light turns on the Sympathetic nervous system
- Darkness activates the Parasympathetics + Vagus
- Melatonin has a Sympatholytic effect, meaning it limits Sympathetic activation, allowing Vagus to do its job uninhibited
- Light (particularly OLED lighting) exposure at night increases heart rate and lowers HRV
- First morning sunlight is incredibly beneficial in regulating circadian biology
- Vagus nerve stimulation with is great to support your sleep

On to the next one... (after vacation)!

The autonomic nervous system and immune system are inextricably linked.

The sympathetic fight-flight state upregulates inflammatory activity in immune cells.

The parasympathetic rest-digest-recover state downregulates inflammatory activity in immune cells.

Both Sympathetic and Parasympathetic states are necessary, but balance is key.

The ideal ratio is 80% inParasympathetic, 20% in Sympathetic.
