Just take a deep breath right now. Gauge it on a scale of one to five with five being the best deep breath you have ever had. If it's not a five you might not be breathing as deeply as you can.

Your nervous system has an automatic operating system that you don't think about day or day out. But it is working every day to make sure all of your body is coordinated properly including your rest your digestion you're a bit ability to wake up in the morning and if presented with a sabertooth tiger your ability to run away as fast as possible. This is what we called the autonomic nervous system. However a lot of people have dysautonomia which is a breakdown of your autonomic nervous system in one direction or another. Because of that we find that if you do not get your Autonomics in balance you can have a condition that is actually being driven by dysautonomia. Dr. Schurger and Bagley discuss how we help people balance and reboot their automatic operating system to return to health.
