Dr. Navas Habib: Your Nervous System is Under Attack—Here’s How to Fix It

Inflammation drives nearly every chronic disease, yet most people overlook a key player in regulating it: the vagus nerve. This critical nerve connects brain to body, controlling digestion, heart rate, immunity, and recovery. But chronic stress shuts it down, leading to poor vagal tone, dysregulated inflammation, and reduced resilience.

In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Dr. Navaz Habib to explore how vagus nerve activation can reduce inflammation and improve healthspan. We dive into practical strategies to improve vagal tone, from breathwork and cold exposure to high-tech biohacking tools. We also unpack how HRV (heart rate variability) can be your secret weapon for tracking nervous system health, and why it's the future of longevity science.

Dr. Navaz Habib is a functional medicine practitioner, speaker, and author specializing in nervous system regulation and inflammation. His work empowers people to take control of their health by optimizing vagal tone and HRV.
