Hey Purists,

Most people think they have a hormone problem. Or a gut problem. Or a sleep problem. Or a skin problem. In reality, most people have a nervous system problem.

When your autonomic nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight, it shows up as:

- bloating
- fatigue
- anxiety
- insomnia
- sugar cravings
- stubborn inflammation
- skin flares
- poor recovery

This week we’re breaking down what’s really happening inside your body — and how to gently shift it back into repair mode.

🧠 Inside this issue:

✔ Why you accidentally shut off your vagus nerve every day
✔ What vagus nerve activation actually means (no woo, just biology)
✔ The 5 fastest ways to stimulate it in under 5 minutes
✔ My real nervous system reset protocol
✔ The supplements + tools that actually work
✔ A simple 24-hour autonomic reset you can start today

Let’s get into the PURE TRUTH ✨

❌ The hidden ways you accidentally shut off your vagus nerve every day

Your vagus nerve is your body’s calm switch. It tells your system when it’s safe to digest, repair, sleep, and heal.

Most modern habits quietly turn it off. Here are the biggest culprits I see every day:

❌ Skipping breakfast → cortisol spikes → blood sugar chaos (unless you are on a proper fasting system)
❌ Living on coffee → nervous system overstimulation
❌ Shallow chest breathing → signals danger to the brain
❌ Being cold + dehydrated → stress hormones rise
❌ Scrolling while eating → digestion shuts down (BIG NO, NO)
❌ Blue light at night → melatonin suppression (If you are heading in to middle age we know sleep is so valuable)
❌ Sugar crashes → adrenaline surges

This is why people feel:

  • wired but tired

  • bloated after eating

  • anxious for no obvious reason

  • inflamed and puffy

  • unable to sleep deeply


🧠 What vagus nerve activation actually means (no woo, just biology)

Think of your vagus nerve as the brake pedal of your body. I am loving the Pulsetto! Even got one for my parents….When your nerve is activated:
