So many of us are surviving — not truly living — because our bodies are stuck in stress mode. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Bahar Esmaili and Dr. Hassan Habib explore how chronic stress, trauma, and structural imbalances disrupt the vagus nerve — the body's key to regulation, healing, and resilience. Dr. Habib shares his own transformation from illness and burnout to health, and breaks down how the nervous system can return to balance.

You'll learn how to recognize when your body is in survival mode, how the vagus nerve influences inflammation and immunity, and what it actually takes to create lasting healing — not just symptom relief.

Key Themes & Takeaways:

• The vagus nerve is the gateway from fight-or-flight to safety and recovery
• Why so many people are unknowingly living in a dysregulated survival state
• How breathing, posture, and craniofacial structure shape the nervous system
• Health is not the absence of disease — it's the capacity to adapt

Healing becomes possible when the body feels safe. This conversation will show you how to find your way back to that safety.
