Chronic inflammation is behind more than half of all deaths. New research shows stimulating the vagus nerve may stop it.

Scientists are shedding new light on an innovative treatment that may combat chronic inflammation—the root of many deadly diseases—without relying on traditional medications.

Vagus nerve stimulation, a technique that sends mild electrical pulses to the body's longest cranial nerve, is showing promise in resetting the immune system and reducing persistent inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is linked to over half of all global deaths and contributes to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.

By targeting the vagus nerve, which helps regulate immune function, researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research hope to stop disease at its source.

This approach, known as bioelectronic medicine, is gaining traction as a groundbreaking alternative to drug-based therapies. The vagus nerve acts like a command center, directing the immune system’s inflammatory response.

When it fails, the body stays on high alert—leading to lasting damage. Stimulating this nerve helps rebalance that response, curbing the overproduction of harmful inflammatory molecules.

From mood disorders to gut health, and even weight loss, vagus nerve stimulation could represent a revolution in how we treat—and prevent—chronic illness.

“Common” doesn’t always mean well-understood!

This month highlights IBS Awareness and we hope to offer a starting point for anyone looking to learn a little about this highly misunderstood and under-diagnosed condition.

No, IBS is not just a tummy ache, it’s so much more than that!!

The gut-brain axis (GBA) plays a crucial role in traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery and pathology. TBI initiates a cascade of neuroinflammatory and systemic immune responses that significantly impact the gut, leading to a bidirectional cycle of dysfunction between the brain and the gastrointestinal system. Here are some key aspects:

1. TBI’s Impact on the Gut

➡️Increased Intestinal Permeability (“Leaky Gut”): TBI can disrupt the intestinal barrier by altering tight junction proteins, allowing bacterial endotoxins (like LPS) to enter the circulation and trigger systemic inflammation.

➡️Gut Dysbiosis: Changes in microbial composition can occur within hours to days after TBI, leading to a reduction in beneficial bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) and an increase in pathogenic species.

➡️Delayed Gastric Emptying & Motility Issues: Autonomic nervous system dysfunction post-TBI can lead to gastroparesis, constipation, or diarrhea, further exacerbating gut dysbiosis.

2. Gut’s Role in Brain Inflammation & Recovery

➡️Endotoxemia & Neuroinflammation: Bacterial metabolites from a compromised gut (e.g., LPS, short-chain fatty acids) can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), activating microglia and perpetuating neuroinflammation.

➡️Vagus Nerve Dysregulation: The vagus nerve is a key mediator in the GBA. Post-TBI, vagal tone often decreases, reducing its anti-inflammatory effects on the gut and brain.

➡️Neurotransmitter Imbalance: The gut microbiome influences serotonin, GABA, and dopamine production, all critical for cognitive and emotional stability post-TBI.

3. Therapeutic Implications

➡️Probiotics & Prebiotics: Supplementation can help restore gut microbiota balance and reduce systemic inflammation.

➡️Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS): Non-invasive VNS can enhance gut motility and reduce neuroinflammation.

➡️Dietary Interventions: Ketogenic, Mediterranean, and anti-inflammatory diets rich in polyphenols and omega-3s may support gut and brain recovery.

Brain Changes From Early-Life Stress May Be Reversible

A new study reveals that experiencing prenatal infections followed by early-life stress—known as "two-hit stress"—can lead to brain dysfunction and psychiatric-like behaviors.

Researchers found that affected mice displayed increased microglial turnover, neuronal loss in the cerebellum, and reduced brain-wide connectivity.

These changes were linked to cognitive impairments and behaviors resembling mental health disorders.

However, the study also found that replacing microglia in the cerebellum successfully reversed these effects, restoring normal brain function.
