In this fascinating episode, I’m joined by Donncha Phelan, founder of Active Body Clinic and a leading specialist in Vagus Nerve Regulation.
We explore the powerful role the vagus nerve plays in regulating stress, recovery, digestion, sleep, and emotional wellbeing — and why it's often the missing link in both physical and mental health.
Donncha breaks down:
What the vagus nerve actually is — and why it matters
Signs your nervous system might be stuck in "fight or flight"
Simple, practical ways to activate the vagus nerve daily
How vagal tone affects pain, anxiety, inflammation, and even burnout
The link between trauma, tension, and nervous system dysregulation
Whether you're an athlete, a shift worker, a parent, or someone dealing with chronic stress — this episode is full of insights to help you better understand your body and build real resilience from the inside out.
