140. Hacking the Vagus Nerve to Calm the Nervous System with Nicholas Hool, Ph.D.

Same thing with, like, wind sprints. You know, you look at long distance runners or sprinters, they have the highest vagal tone of anybody I've ever measured. And it's because they're constantly putting their body into fight or flight by sprinting, which means every time they do that, they have to recover, which is what activates vagus nerve. And so you measure their vagal tone, and their vagal tone's really good because they're always subjecting themselves to that fight orf flight, and then rest and, and digest, like, all the time. So, hey, wind sprints maybe could be a good tool if you're looking for a free technique. But I don't know anybody that's like, I can't wait to go wind sprint.
