  A tragedy is unfolding all around us and is receiving well overdue attention. Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy than their white peers. But Dr. Monique Rainford is working to better understand these disparities and do something about them. 
   
   
   
  Pregnant While Black is a hopeful exploration of the issues pregnant Black women face in America. In this book, Dr. Rainford draws on over twenty years of experience working in obstetrics and gynecology to offer a primer on Black pregnancies and how to better care for them. She shares the successes and testimonies of Black women who have struggled during pregnancy and childbirth, anchoring the stories of these women with carefully researched facts. Despite medical advances over the last twenty years, for Black women, the overwhelming dangers of carrying and delivering children remain and it only seems to be getting worse. 
   
   
   
  In Pregnant While Black, Rainford begins the work of "repairing the damage of the past" with an examination of the conditions that plague Black pregnancies. This important book carries the hopes and dreams of a generation looking to effect change, here and now.

  The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn’t know you had. 
  The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys. 
  Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician, says: 
  “Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained.” 
  Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore elaborates: 
  “The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body.” 
  Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures. 
  Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such as: 
  - Anxiety disorder 
  - Heart disease 
  - Tinnitus 
  - Obesity 
  - Alcohol addiction 
  - Migraines 
  - Alzheimer’s 
  - Leaky gut 
  - Bad blood circulation 
  - Mood disorder 
  - CancerWhether you are feeling anxiety or depression, you can use tools to engage your social nervous system to re-establish higher order nervous system functions.
