Neuroscience Health Coach Alyssa introduces a simple tongue mobility exercise called Around the World that helps activate the vagus nerve – a key pathway for calming the body and improving gut-brain connection. By gently tracing your tongue in a circular motion around your teeth while maintaining a tall, neutral spine and steady nasal breathing, you can strengthen vagal tone, which supports a more relaxed and regulated nervous system.

Before and after the drill, Alyssa guides viewers to assess how their body feels – noticing any changes in neck tension or range of motion. This mindful check-in helps you tune into your body’s response and reinforces how small, consistent nervous system exercises can enhance digestion and overall wellbeing.

Alyssa recommends practicing Around the World in everyday moments, like during a walk or at a stoplight, as an easy, discreet way to support your vagus nerve and promote calm throughout the day.
