I shared a short clip of Jerika’s story last week and this week, I’m sharing her FULL interview.

FYI: This conversation is NOT TO BE MISSED if you’re wondering whether quick fixes that aim to “bio-hack” the vagus nerve are to be tried or trusted. All to say, when I think back to what Jerika shared with me a few weeks ago, the word harrowing is an understatement… I am just glad she is okay and finally experiencing what REAL regulation is all about!
