The Vagus Nerve: Your Body’s Built-In Healing Superhighway
The Vagus Nerve: Your Body’s Built-In Healing Superhighway
Featuring Insights from Dr. Cade & Coach Cason
What if the key to better sleep, improved digestion, stronger immunity, emotional stability, and overall healing was already built into your body? What if you didn’t need to embark on another diet or add another supplement? What if you didn’t need that expensive gym membership? That orthopedic mattress? Those fancy shoes?
Enter the vagus nerve—an often overlooked yet critically important piece of your nervous system.
At LIFEstrength Health Center, Dr. Cade and Coach Cason are helping patients strengthen this “healing superhighway” through a unique combination of chiropractic care and spiritually-rooted functional coaching by addressing the root causes of stress, disconnection, and imbalance.
What Is the Vagus Nerve?
The vagus nerve (Latin for “wandering”) is the longest cranial nerve in your body. It “wanders” from your brainstem to your heart, lungs, digestive organs, and nearly every internal system. It’s the control switch for your parasympathetic nervous system—the part that manages “rest, digest, and heal.”
When your vagus nerve is strong (we call this good vagal tone), your body:
Handles stress with ease
Recovers quickly from illness
Sleeps more deeply
Digests food better
Experiences more joy and peace
But when vagal tone is low? Everything from your mood to your immune system can start to break down.
Why Is It So Worn Out Today?
Modern life has pulled us into a constant state of “on alert”—emails, deadlines, processed foods, blue light, disconnection from nature, and even disconnection from each other. Our bodies were designed to bounce back from stress, not live in it 24/7.
According to Dr. Cade, this is what he sees every day in practice:
“Low vagal tone shows up as chronic tension, inflammation, fatigue, anxiety, digestive problems—you name it. Chiropractic care helps turn the volume down on the stress response and turns the healing systems back on. We adjust the spine, not simply to move a bone, but to impact the neurology underneath and to help reset the nervous system so the body can finally do what it was designed to do—heal itself from the inside out.”
The Heart Work - Emotional Clarity with Coach Cason
Coach Cason brings a deep well of wisdom in emotional intelligence and spiritual coaching. His unique approach helps patients clear the emotional and spiritual clutter that keeps them stuck in fear, stress, or disconnection. This is such a necessary part of the healing process, but unfortunately, so many avoid this due to a lack of proper teaching.
“So much of our healing is blocked not by our biology, but by the burden we carry emotionally and spiritually. Through prayer, self-reflection, and truth-based coaching, I help people clear away the debris so they can truly encounter Jesus and return to the presence of God.”
This is what he calls “practicing the presence”—a daily spiritual discipline of tuning in to God, hearing His voice above all others and learning to operate from a place of peace, clarity, and authority.
Through his coaching, patients learn to:
Use prayer as a reset for emotional overwhelm
Reflect on false beliefs or old wounds that may block healing
Restore purpose and identity by aligning with God’s truth
Create space for God to speak, move, and transform
Chiropractic + Coaching = A Nervous System That Works for You
It’s not just about “feeling good”—it’s about functioning better at every level. When the nervous system is optimized through adjustments and spiritual coaching, your body becomes more resilient to stress, inflammation, and emotional pain.
You were made to live in wholeness—not in survival. This is where faith meets physiology, and healing begins.
