The Vagus Nerve, GLP-1s, and Food Noise
Briefly

The vagus nerve is a vital part of the gut-brain axis, acting as the primary communication pathway between the gut and the brain, sensing microbiota metabolites and transferring gut information to our neural network.
Food noise encompasses persistent mental and physical cues driving thoughts about food even when not hungry, manifesting as cravings and obsessive thoughts, deeply rooted in our neurobiological systems.
By optimizing the vagus nerve through lifestyle interventions, we can reclaim our natural ability to regulate hunger and satiety, offering a sustainable alternative to anti-obesity medications.
The health or responsiveness of our vagus nerve influences our 'food noise,' affecting our drive to eat and our overall relationship with food.
