BRS6(FM3) - Autonomic Balance & Vagal Recovery Capacity
Functional control of sympathetic–parasympathetic balance, vagal recovery, and physiological downshifting after stress or cognitive demand.
Functional Role
↑ vagal recovery; ↑ HRV context; ↓ chronic sympathetic load
Underlying Mechanisms and Requirements
PMs
- BRS6(PM5) - Sympathetic Activation & Parasympathetic Recovery
- BRS6(PM6) - Vagal Tone / HRV Regulation
KCs
Optional BRSX Modifiers
- None listed

- BRS3(FM1) — Inflammatory Tone Regulation
Interventions
Diet
slow breathing / meditation → ↑ parasympathetic tone; exercise recovery → autonomic flexibility; omega-3-rich foods → HRV support context; magnesium-rich foods → neuromuscular relaxation support; fermented foods + fibre → gut–vagal signalling support
Lifestyle
slow breathing / meditation → ↑ parasympathetic tone; exercise recovery → autonomic flexibility; omega-3-rich foods → HRV support context; magnesium-rich foods → neuromuscular relaxation support; fermented foods + fibre → gut–vagal signalling support
Outputs / Functional Effects
↑ vagal recovery; ↑ HRV context; ↓ chronic sympathetic load

Scoring Interpretation
Low support and high support interpretation should be defined in narrative only; no formulas are included in this test generation.
Evidence Base
- Evidence Type (Column H): Human + mechanistic
- Evidence/Notes (Column N): Central lifestyle-crossing FM. Diet supports the system but breathing, recovery, and stress practices are often dominant.
