Eight factors that supporting research links to better vagal tone, and four that lower it. Tap any factor to read the evidence and watch the cable respond.
An interactive look at your vagus nerve, the cable carrying signals between your gut and brain. Tap a daily habit and watch the cable respond, with the evidence behind each one in plain terms.
Illustrative, not a measurement. The vagus nerve is one line between your gut and your brain, and everyday habits can strain it or let it carry. Clear the strain and the signal travels the whole way, which is why this tool asks what to ease before it asks what to add. Remove harm before adding benefit, and everyone is different, so what is straining your line will not be what strains someone else's.
You have probably heard that your gut and brain talk to each other. The main line they talk on is the vagus nerve, a literal cable running between them. This shows you, visually, how everyday habits like sleep, breathing, movement, alcohol and stress strengthen or strain that signal, so the gut-brain link stops being a buzzword and becomes something you can actually see.
Everyone is different. This is a teaching visualisation, not a measurement or a diagnosis.
Best for anyone curious about the gut-brain connection who wants the real science, minus the hype.
