'My mission is to widen the world's collective window of tolerance, and to create true freedom from nervous system dysregulation and all its painful side effects.' - Jessica Maguire The vagus nerve is the superhighway between our bodies and brains, our emotions and behaviour. However, chronic stress and trauma impair the vagus nerve's functions, which can lead to stress-related illnesses such as anxiety and depression, chronic back pain, headaches, addictive cravings, IBS and insomnia. As a physiotherapist, Jessica Maguire saw hundreds of patients who were spending a fortune on multiple treatments that did not work to heal conditions which were seemingly resistant to every kind of intervention. Jessica's subsequent years of extensive study and thousands of interactions with patients and a dedicated online audience have led her to develop a series of simple but highly effective techniques for re-toning the vagus nerve and restoring mental and physical health. In The Nervous System Reset, Jessica provides detailed information on the foundational science and body practices that can alleviate chronic symptoms, allowing us to better cope with the impact of past traumas and live with more comfort, pleasure and optimism. Compassionate, accessible and authoritative, The Nervous System Reset is your complete guide to the transformative power of the mighty vagus nerve.
