42 min - Vagus Nerve Stimulation with Dr. Navaz Habib
Join Jodi with her friend and fellow vagus nerve expert Navaz Habib as they dive deep into the vital role of the vagus nerve in overall health and well-being.
Key Takeaways:
The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls the "rest and digest" functions of the body. It helps modulate inflammation, heart rate, and digestion.
When the vagus nerve is not functioning optimally, it can contribute to a wide range of chronic health issues, including anxiety, depression, brain fog, and inflammatory conditions.
Common factors that can impair vagus nerve function include chronic stress, poor gut health, lack of movement/exercise, and an inflammatory diet high in processed foods.
Simple vagus nerve stimulation techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, gargling, and listening to certain music can help reboot vagus nerve function and shift the body into a parasympathetic state.
Tools like transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulators can also be used to directly target and support vagus nerve activity.
Tune in to learn practical, science-backed strategies to optimize your vagus nerve health and unlock your body's natural healing potential.

37 min - Essential Oils for the Fascia with Kim Trager
In this episode of Essential Alchemy, host Jodi Cohen welcomes Dr. Kim Trager, a structural and energetic practitioner known for helping patients achieve transformational healing. Dr. Trager shares her expertise on the fascinating world of fascia and how incorporating essential oils can support the health and function of this vital connective tissue system.
Key Takeaways:
Fascia is the three-dimensional connective tissue that surrounds every cell, nerve, vein, and organ in the body, giving us our form and allowing us to move.
The fascia not only plays a structural role but also stores emotions and trauma, which can be released through targeted work.
The superficial front and back fascial lines are correlated with specific acupuncture meridians, like the stomach meridian, and can be targeted with essential oils.
Specific acupressure points, like Stomach 36 on the outer shin, can be stimulated with essential oils to support digestive function, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
Techniques like skin rolling, cupping, and pivoting over a ball can help self-release and mobilize the fascia, especially when combined with targeted essential oil application.
The neck and feet are key areas to focus on when working with the fascia, as they connect to many of the body's fascial lines.
Tune in to learn Dr. Trager's practical tips for incorporating essential oils into fascial release practices to support whole-body healing and transformation.
