Dr. Dan Monti

Daniel Monti, MD is an integrative health doctor and host of The Dr. Monti Show.

In Tapestry of Health: Weaving Wellness into Your Life Through the New Science of Integrative Medicine, Dr. Monti and Dr. Bazzan present a step-by-step plan for this next generation of medicine through evidence-based restorative treatments, nutritional science and healthy lifestyle practices. Artfully integrating cutting-edge technologies—fMRI brain imaging, bone density diagnostics and DNA sequencing—with time-honored approaches—loving relationships, walks in the woods and plant-based meals—they invite you to enjoy a fuller, healthier life in service to Plato's holistic understanding that "the part can never be well unless the whole is well." This approach marks a significant change in how we view wellness; a shift from seeking medical care only when we are sick to one when we mindfully take responsibility for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Monti and Dr. Bazzan recognize the importance of kindness, gratitude and purpose, and emphasize the importance of your relationship with your own doctor evolving from being your caretaker to being your partner. Tapestry of Health offers you a path to a new kind of healthcare that is curative, preventive and transformative.

A recent large-scale study - the U.S. POINTER study - shared that dementia rates are expected to double by 2060.

But there is so much you can do to protect your brain.

Your brain is not doomed to decline.

Inflammation, long thought to be a major culprit behind cognitive aging, can be reduced through simple changes—like eating an anti-inflammatory diet and reducing stress.

Activities like music, gardening, and even learning new things can help rewire the brain.

But one thing that does not get enough attention is the importance of maintaining strong social connections.

We know that when people are lonely, that is stressful, and it is linked with cognitive decline.

There’s a powerful nerve running from your brain to your body that touches nearly every major organ and is very important in balancing the nervous system.

It’s called the vagus nerve — and it is highly integrated into the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system, which is a network of nerves that relaxes your body in response to danger or stress.

The sympathetic branch of the nervous system deals with the “fight or flight” response.

In modern life, many of us are stuck in “sympathetic overdrive” — constantly wired, overstimulated, and inflamed. And the health consequences are serious.

🩺 Conditions like:
Heart disease
Stroke
Obesity
Autoimmune disorders (RA, lupus)
Depression + anxiety

All these health conditions can have as a component, a dysregulated autonomic nervous system.

There are ancient practices that we now know stimulate the vagus nerve and help calm our body:

Practices like chanting, humming and breathwork stimulate the vagus nerve

Even yoga has a name for it: Pranayama

Singing in a group or a choir? That also counts.

There is also a device called a transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) that has been shown to help the body enter a state of feeling safe and secure.

By using these devices for 30 minutes a day, we’re finding that people are able to get improvements in a number of markers, including things like stress and inflammation.

🔍 Learn more about the vagus nerve and how to stimulate it naturally in our latest video.
