🚦Vagus Nerve is like the GT road of the nervous system . The vagus nerve (cranial nerve [CN] X) is the longest cranial nerve in the body.

🤔 The vagus nerve is responsible for the regulation of internal organ functions, such as digestion, heart rate, immune system and respiratory rate, as well as vasomotor (blood vessel) activity, and certain reflex actions, such as coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting.

😟 So a Vagus nerve dysfunction can influence all of it and cause any or all of the aforesaid symptoms.

🔥Managing the inflammatory system is one of the most important functions of the vagus .
the major inflammatory control system in the body.

🤯 A damaged or under-active vagus nerve (poor vagal tone) may often result in low stomach acid levels and low enzyme production. It will lead to a cascade of gut and other issues too (Look up my old posts on this).

🧠 Additionally, The enteric nervous system is the largest division of the autonomic nervous system and it is housed entirely within the walls of the G.I. tract. It can be impacted by the vagus nerve too.

“NO SYSTEM EVER WORKS ALONE. NEVER GETS INJURED ALONE. NEVER HEALS ALONE.”

🔄 ‘The parasympathetic is the regulator of the sympathetic’

💪Inflammation and stress are like brother and sister, one goes up the other goes up too. So your mental an/or physical stress is going to drive inflammation and vice versa.

🧠 Remember you cannot heal if your body is in a stressed and/or inflamed state.
For instance : Cortisol likes to break down protein. Gut is mostly made of protein (collagen). Large particles like proteins can overload the Lymphatic system when they escape through Gut permeability.

💆‍♂️ Improving vagal tone and functioning would help the body tap into the healing state, i.e., the parasympathetic state.

🧘‍♀️ It can be improved by simple drills like humming, chanting, breath-work, and meditation. In many cases, it may require some specific drills which are part of our Health Optimisation Program (H.O.P.E)!

🫡”Let me kill myself in the name of health “

Have you ever heard the saying “If you do what you love, you’ll love what you do”? I often share this idea with my clients.

🎬When people start a new fitness routine, they tend to make the mistake of filling their kitchen with “diet food” like kale, broccoli, bajra roti, oats and salads.

These foods are great if you enjoy them, but too often, people buy them because they feel like they should as they are popularly labelled as “healthy”

✅However, there are plenty of foods that will work just as well for healthy eating plans, so it’s important to choose things you actually like.

Eating healthy can be challenging, so why make it harder by forcing yourself to eat things you don’t enjoy?

🏃‍♀️The same goes for exercise - if you love lifting weights, you probably won’t enjoy a running program.

Start with an activity that suits and challenges you, and I promise it will be much more enjoyable.

🏁It’s not necessary to suffer for the sake of your health. Make it fun , enjoy the process, Play the long game.

Need help ?, My doors are always open.

Talk Soon,
AK

Varun, 24, had been struggling with chronic constipation, a fear of food, and emotional stress for years. He had tried everything—churanas, different diets, and even working with other coaches—but nothing provided lasting relief. Each attempt left him frustrated and stuck in a cycle of discomfort and anxiety.

Every meal was a source of stress. Avoiding foods he feared might trigger symptoms, Varun’s diet became overly restrictive, harming his nutrition and social life. Constipation weighed him down, and years of unsuccessful attempts left him hopeless.

When Varun joined HOPE -
Health Optimization Program – Engineered for You, things changed. What made the program different? It started with truly understanding him—not just his symptoms.

We worked together to address the root causes of missing foundations , emotional regulation and right foods.

We surely focused on his emotional health. Stress and anxiety were major triggers for his digestive issues, so we incorporated acceptance, mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help him feel emotionally grounded and in control. This helped him take action.

With 1-1 personalized support, we monitored his progress, made adjustments as needed, and guided him every step of the way. In just six weeks, Varun’s constipation was gone, his relationship with food was transformed, and he finally feels at ease in his body.

Varun’s success highlights why it’s crucial to understand the person, not just the symptoms. Health isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about sustainable, personalized solutions tailored to the individual.

If you’re facing similar challenges, don’t wait any longer.

A Healthy GUT = Healthy YOU

⬇️Which smart watch is most accurate?

Another study looked at how accurate popular smartwatches—like the Microsoft Band, Fitbit Surge HR, TomTom Cardio Watch, and Apple Watch—are at tracking how many calories you burn when resting and exercising. To test this, they compared the smartwatches’ calorie estimates to a very accurate scientific method called indirect calorimetry, which measures actual energy expenditure.

😕 Inconsistent Results: The smartwatches were not very reliable in estimating calorie burn. For example, while resting (just sitting or lying down), the calorie counts varied widely between the devices. Some watches might say you’ve burned 50 calories at rest, while the real number could be 70. This level of inaccuracy makes the readings less useful if you’re trying to track your calorie burn closely.

🏋️ Exercise : During light and vigorous exercise, the watches became a bit more accurate, but even then, they still had large errors. For instance, during vigorous activity, the Microsoft Band showed an error rate of 35%.

🚶 Moderate Exercise Errors: Even moderate activities, like brisk walking, weren’t well measured by most devices. In some cases, smartwatches overestimated calorie burn significantly.

👍 Best Performance: The Microsoft Band and Apple Watch were generally the most accurate, but even they had errors of about 35-40%.

💡 While smartwatches give a rough idea of calorie burn, they are far from perfect, especially at rest or during moderate exercise. They’re a bit more accurate with vigorous activities but still miss the mark.

For example, one smartwatch might show that you burned 300 calories during a 30-minute walk, when the actual burn is only 200 calories.

🔥 If you want to lose fat in 3-6 months without relying on fancy trackers, I have a simple, proven plan that gets results. Drop the word “HEALTH” in a message, and I’ll share the info with you!
