• 103: Overview of the Polyvagal Theory

  In this episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, we delve into the fascinating intersection of psychology and physiology through the lens of polyvagal theory. We explore how the vagus nerve influences our emotional and physical well-being, highlighting its crucial role in mitigating chronic diseases.By discussing the four types of stress—daily, psychological, physical, and biochemical—we emphasize the importance of understanding these stressors and their impact on health. We also break down the polyvagal chart, which illustrates how we navigate states of safety, arousal, and freeze. While a calm, regulated state is ideal, we discuss how occasional stress and challenge can actually build resilience, drawing connections between psychological stressors and physiological responses. Applying the NLP communications model, we provide insights into how our interpretations of events shape both our mental and physical reactions.If you found this episode valuable, share it with someone who could benefit from understanding the mind-body connection.
