As a holistic brain scientist and NeuroTritionist who fully believes in the body-brain relationship, I love our cranial nerves that lead from the back of the brain to the body. After all, they quite literally form the body-brain connection. And there’s one in particular that just might be my favourite: the vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve and its branches wander through much of the body (vagus means “wanderer” in Latin). Unbeknownst to those who named it, however, was just how much the vagus nerve influences our health and well-being. Recent research is showing that what happens in vagus doesn’t stay in vagus — and I think this science, paired with amazing food inspired by it, deserves a Brain Food Dinner Party!

THE FOOD + DRINK

I am working with Executive Chef John Beddoes and his team at Deane House to artfully translate the science on the vagus nerve into an incredible 4-course meal. We will be “wandering” through the evening with education around what the research shows our vagus nerve does for us, and how we can get a gauge on where our vagal health is at. I am so excited to share that each of the four courses will be created around one of the four evidence-informed ways we can enhance vagus nerve function using nutrition.

I will also be working with the Bar Chef at Deane House to translate the science on vagal nerve nutrition into a 5-beverage non-alcoholic pairing to accompany your meal (you will have a choice of an alcoholic pairing instead, if you prefer).

A PARADIGM SHIFT IN BRAIN HEALTH

Science suggests that improving the health of our vagus nerve may be a new way to optimize our brain and mental health (not to mention gut, immune, and more). Join us for an evening exploring vagus nerve research while enjoying a delicious custom created meal inspired by evidence-informed vagal nutrition.
