The vagus nerve is one of the most important pathways between your brain and body. It influences your stress response, digestion, heart rate, inflammation, mood, and overall resilience. When it’s supported and “toned,” the body shifts more easily out of survival mode and into rest, repair, and healing.

Acupuncture is one of my favorite ways to gently stimulate and regulate the vagus nerve, helping the nervous system remember safety and balance again.

If you want to learn more about how the vagus nerve, acupuncture, and nervous system health work together, you can find my book on Amazon — link in my bio.

It’s one of the few anti-aging tools that works with your biology, not against it.

There’s a lot of misinformation in the skincare world — especially around treatments that promise “tightening” and “collagen.”

In my new video, I break down what actually happens beneath the surface of your skin and why gentle, biology-aligned methods often work better than aggressive ones.

Did you know your skin gets thinner as you age?
The epidermis and dermis can shrink to under 0.8mm in postmenopausal women — which means even small stressors can accelerate wrinkles and texture changes.
Gentle, consistent care always wins over aggressive treatments.
