Key takeaways

• You can activate the vagus nerve at home without any technology
• HRV basically represents the vagus nerve strength or tone
• The biggest problem with drugs is addiction, & there are significant numbers of overdose deaths, especially in the US because of the opioid epidemic. With electric stimulation, there are no side effects & no risk of addiction
• If you're able to keep your heart rate down, especially as the pressure is increasing, whether it's on the field for sports or in the boardroom on the job, you're going to do better overall at whatever task it is
• It's very normal during the day to switch between the fight-or-flight response & rest-and-digest mode. It's impossible for you to always be in the parasympathetic nervous system
