098: Neurotransmitters, Inflammation and Vagus Nerve Stimulation


Listen Later

In this enlightening episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, we dive deep into the fascinating world of neuroanatomy and brain signaling. We kick off with a comprehensive explanation of neurons, neurotransmitters, and the intricate dance between excitation and inhibition in the brain. We explore how inflammation impacts brain function, leading to an upsurge in glutamate and a decrease in GABA, potentially triggering conditions like migraines and chronic pain.

During our conversation we share the interconnectedness of neurotransmitters, notably focusing on the powerful roles of glutamate and GABA. We discuss how inflammation disrupts the balance, leading to a hyperexcitable state in the brain. But it's not all gloom; we shed light on actionable strategies to manage inflammation, emphasizing the importance of vagus nerve stimulation, like Truvega, exercise, and dietary changes. 

If you’re keen to dive deeper into brain health and discover ways to achieve a balanced, optimized mind, be sure to listen to this episode. Share it with friends and family who might benefit from these insights and practical tips.
