Hello, everybody! Welcome back to the Health Upgrade Podcast.
In this episode, we will delve into the fascinating topic of the vagus nerve's involvement in the production of our genetic transcription and transcription factors, and how vagus nerve stimulation can affect epigenetics. Our DNA is composed of nucleotides, which contain codes that serve as instructions for protein synthesis. However, epigenetic factors such as behavior and environment can impact the expression of genes and proteins. Stress and inflammation caused by disorders can cause changes in DNA methylation, histone modification, and the presence of non-coding RNAs, resulting in negative effects on our health and longevity. Fortunately, by stimulating the vagus nerve, we can activate the parasympathetic nervous system and counteract the harmful effects of these epigenetic factors. This can lead to a reduction in aging, improved cognitive function, increased metabolic efficiency, and decreased inflammation. Vagus nerve stimulation also aids in developing emotional, mental, and physical resilience, enabling us to handle stressors and thrive in our current world.
