The Vagus Nerve - Episode 29

Holy Sh*t I Have ADHD

This week Robbie and Jordan talk about the vagus nerve and its effects on regulating our parasympathetic systems, the gut-brain link, and ways to stimulate the vagus nerve to ease anxiety and find calm. We also chat about the stalemate Canadian federal election, the pressure we put on ourselves to feel productive, and Robbie surprises Jordan with some fan art from listener Susannah! Check out her portfolio, and follow her on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok!

Correction:
The sci-fi series Nick co-produced and featured in was the Psyborgs, not the Psybernauts per Jordan's bad memory.
