Dopamine and Vagus Nerve Interaction

Welcome to another episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast!

Today, we're talking about dopamine and how it affects our motivation, movement, and mental health. We'll look into how dopamine is linked to the vagus nerve and why it's important to keep inflammation low to avoid diseases like Parkinson's. Also, we'll discuss a study that suggests stimulating the right side of the vagus nerve might help produce more dopamine, which could be helpful for treating neurological disorders.

We'll also talk about l-dopa, a medicine used for Parkinson's disease, and how it can change the way we think. Finally, we'll share some inspiring stories of people who have overcome neurological conditions with vagus nerve stimulation therapy.
