This educational video explores the fascinating relationship between the vagus nerve and the immune system. The introduction recounts historical insights and experiments, such as those by Dr. Valsalva, highlighting the vagus nerve's role in controlling inflammation. The video delves into chronic inflammatory diseases exacerbated by modern lifestyles, introducing the concept of "Resoleomics," the process of inflammation resolution.
Key regulatory systems, the SAM and HPA axes, are explained in their role in stress and immune response. The video emphasizes how chronic stress can lead to low-grade inflammation, affecting over 50% of people in modern societies.
The video outlines the phases of inflammation: initiation, resolution, and termination, and discusses how factors like diet and medication impact these processes. It highlights the importance of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the negative effects of high glycemic foods on inflammation.
The critical role of the vagus nerve in immune regulation is emphasized, particularly through the vagal anti-inflammatory loop. Practical aspects for osteopaths, such as identifying and treating vagus nerve dysfunctions, are covered.
