Breathing Reset to Calm the Vagus Nerve... 

I have been a patient of Dr. Renee for several years, and through our periodic sessions, I've learned a lot about resetting my vagus nerve to reduce trauma stored in my body from a pedestrian-car accident. Her coaching has diminished the impact of stress and anxiety. Dr. Renee has in-depth knowledge about regulating the nervous system for calmer life experiences and brings to her health teaching an authentic, empathetic, and transparent professional who truly cares.

Breathe in like you are smelling flowers...breathe out like you are blowing out candles.... Just heard that recently...

I'm so grateful to have found this channel! This practice really is making a difference with my breathing. I'll be sharing this with clients I meet with that experience anxiety. Thank you!!!

Renee Ostertag, your bubbly personality is so refreshing. I wish I could have such an upbeat and optimistic outlook as yours.

Got to love this woman. Good healthy professional advice, delivered by a hot wired ninja, who I'm guessing does stand-up in her spare time. Did I hear someone choke off camera when she cussed. Just came across her by accident and picked up on her attention to the vagus nerve, which is a good sign of someone who knows what they're about, in my world.

Why am i crying? This was really, really, REALLY helpful okay? I am the kind of person who gets nervous from all those breathing exercises, and this was, pun absolutely intended, as very refreshing as a breath of fresh air!! If only i could be a patient of yours 😍💖🥰 your words resonate! Thank you ever so much and i hope to heavens that you never stop doing what you do. All the greenest fluffiest trees to you dear Dr. Ostertag! 💕💕

I really love how real you are, and how you actually give tools to regulate our nervous system. I’ve seen similar professionals on RU-vid who just stop at the basic education and don’t actually give any tools to help. Thank you!

Nervous system Ninja 😂 I absolutely love it. That’s was fascinating I’ve been doing various breathing techniques over the years. But the way you explained it made so much sense. Thanks so much loved this and definitely sharing this 🥰

This is such good advice. It's a pity that hardly anyone is aware of just how vital the good functioning of the vagus nerve is. For most, breathing exercises seem too subtle to have any effect yet they are very potent. People just need to give it a go.

i have watched one or two of your vids, just bumped into them randomly. Today was the another one in 700 plus days of crap, full body pain, stuff going wrong, other things i can't mention here and honestly i was thinking of ways to check out . . . your cheerfulness actually bothered me until you said about the car and the stop sign, and i 'sighed' and i'm exhausted - but i feel a bit better. thankyou

You are such a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing this. All your videos are so awesome. Learning a lot about the vagus nerve

ExActly! As long as I had not yet cured my trauma, BREATHING exercises were only INTENSIFYING the problem, making me MORE restless! And people blame and shame you for being unable to do what is so simple to them! I don't blame and shame, I constantly ADAPT to people so they don't feel judged or stupid, but I am seldom given the same respect. The more you evolve, the more alone you are...

Hey, it's great to find a knowledgeable person who just seems to 'get it'. Thankyou

Wow, thank you for this!

Simple and very effective as always, Renee! Many blessings 🙏🤗

Just love these videos. They are really helping me. I love that you swore - you are very real 💜

I like that when she said she is “a like nervous system ninja.” I will say the exhale should be longer than the inhale to relax. Also take a cold shower for 1 to 3 min. helps you de-stress as well.

Start laughing and smiling while you hold your breath and your body will relax even more. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the groovy love-in. I hope your plug-in works. It sounds like a crazy flip. Peace and Love.

I feel so fucken blessed to find you You are wonderful 🌙

Very articulate and animated. Controlled facial expressions tend to suggest you stood before a mirror and practised. Another point to narcissistic tendency. Kudos we are alike

Dr Renee your a charactor.,and beautifull luv your understanding, keep going,

2nd video. You offer different techniques than others, which is good. The more breathing exercises I do, the more my mind reminds me why I’m doing them which renders the exercise useless. Thank you for the creativity !!

Thank you!!!

Loved it! Thank you very much! :)

Thank you!

I tried it with you. It's a really good one. Thank you. I will remember it, especially when I am driving in my car, or riding my moto.

Good Muscly Arms Doc. 👍👍💪💪

Just found you this morning. Feel better already. Working through C-PTSD and resultant addiction issues: substance and stress abuse. Love your concepts and models of theory to practice. Namaste xxx

Thank you Happy Spring

Wow! Kya baat bahut khoob bahut bahut shukaria jioji. U're doing marvelous for the human well being jioji

Very very cool!

I love your techniques and your videos! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤🌹🙏

Great technique! Thank you

This is beautiful

You're really dope Dr Renee. ♥️

Cracks me up ! With the wordy dords lol 😂 love what ya do though …helps a lot

I just discovered your channel, and I think you're terrific! I'm also a psychotherapist, and I will happily direct my clients to your videos to demonstrate nervous system regulation exercises. Thank you!

Oh I like you lady!! You had me at f*** and then s*** after that and I just really appreciated getting a chance to learn this technique so thank you. Subscribed!

Thanks a lot for the tip which has given more than I expected. Should we practice it as a daily routine like for half an hour?

Hi Renee! Thank you for all your helpful videos! I have a question about Resting heart Rate. Mine is at 80bpm I was wondering if this is too high and if so what is an optimal resting heart rate for the body to heal? Can we access this by tapping into the vagus nerve with your excercises? Thank you so much!

THANK U SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to get counseling for anxiety from you!

Hahahaha "oh f*ck" I love your raw honestly and personality. 😂 This really worked so well. I just did the vagal reset laying down and this breathing and wow. I'm so relaxed right now. I was having a random panic attack come on and now I'm relaxed. Whenever others gave breathing exercises it felt more suffocating because it was forcing me to breathe in a way my body didn't like. That contributed to the anxiety and didn't help. I love this breathing you taught. This is the most relaxed I've felt in a long time. Thank you!!!

I love you!🤣😘

REALLY appreciate this advice. Thank you. Something back (from an audio professional): Your lav mic wasn't picking up your voice very well. It seems your camera's/computer's reference audio was being used instead. I had to dial up volume 70% to hear you. Been there, done that. Test that lav mic volume, and boost the gain in post as needed. I want to hear you! Again, thanks.

Doctor!! Your Nervous Ninja System Vagus Nerve...so Ninja that Next breathe into me, felt like feeling again!! Ha, gonna try everytime I get out-of-sync in my breathe. I had breathing problems since wreck at 16, gas chamber training from Army, also all the pipeline weld fumes damage my left nostril to feel a breathe flow in. Cute purple streak, suits you Ninja Doctor!! :D

Is this also good to do before you do a breathing excerise such as box breathing?

Do you know anything about mast cell activation and how to reset for calming that down?

Can you please explain why diaphragmatic breathing could induce /make worse heart palpitations?

☺️

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, I have an hyperacusis and the little noises in the background were annoying to me. I was less calm at the end of the video than before watching it.

Kept thinking my dog was chewing something but when I’d take my earphones off he’d stop???

Brilliant. We try to control everything. It's about subtraction not addiction. Oh fuck...lol...I officially a-dore you. All of this is so needed...so much trauma. Thank you so much.❤🧡💛

Love that easy way that you explain in your videos, please can you give us tips about how to deal with claustrofobia in airplanes. thank you

How do I get in touch with you?

can this be tantra too?

Hi Doc! Is that a new tattoo?

I wanna get mouth to mouth

everyone advises to stimulate the vagus nerve, why are you trying to calm it?

Cut to the chase! Your erratic yapping gives me more anxiety than I already have!

Thank you!!!!!
