Please, would you write about the vagal aspect? Or share prior articles you've written that I may have missed on it?

There is a famous doctor who spoke and wrote in depth about the vagus nerve. When I remember who that is, I will share.

Stephen Porges, PhD on polyvagal theory: https://www.stephenporges.com/articles

Here is a YouTube presentation by Dr. Porges: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRTkkYjQ_HU

Interesting, vagal response to "facial expression, eye contact and prosody allows one to determine whether or not the visceral state is safe to come close to."

I am touched that I can share something of value with you. You have provided so much to many.

I love Dr. Porges work. There is only one small thing that I do not agree with him on. He believes that the over stimulation of the vagus nerve, via cold therapy, such as a cold shower or cold plunge is not good. I have been a fan of the Wim Hoff method for a while.

There are a lot of ways to strengthen the vagal nerve, but for some reason most of them are not known by most of the people who talk about the topic.
