3 Easy Steps to No More Aches and Pains. Fascia Freedom - Part 2

3 Easy Steps to No More Aches and Pains. Fascia Freedom - Part 2

#177 - 3 Easy Steps to No More Aches and Pains. Fascia Freedom - Part 2

Fascia is your Body’s Communication Superhighway - a continuous web of connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, organ, nerve, and blood vessel. It’s not just structural—it’s informational.

This means fascia health directly influences energy flow, posture, focus, and even stress resilience.

Fascia Stores Stress and Emotional Trauma Research shows that unprocessed stress and trauma are literally held in the fascia—creating rigidity, pain, and decreased adaptability.

This is why when we're under chronic stress we develop tension patterns, stiffness, and “burnout posture.”

By addressing fascia, you’re not just stretching — you’re helping to unwind years of stored stress that keeps you feeling reactive, fatigued, or foggy.

Research shows about 40% of chronic musculoskeletal pain may be linked to fascial dysfunction (not just muscle/joint problems).

A 2018 review found chronic inflammation is a key driver of fascia remodeling and densification, directly tying lifestyle factors (diet, stress, toxins) to connective tissue health.

Fascial adhesions can reduce muscle strength by up to 30% in the affected area.

If you’ve ever stretched, massaged, or foam-rolled and still felt stiff, sore, or tense — it’s time to tune in.

In this follow-up to our fascia nutrition deep dive, this episode explores how your daily habits, stress levels, and even emotions are shaping the health of your fascia — and why that matters for everything from pain and inflammation to your energy and mood.

You’ll learn how stress and emotional tension literally change your fascia’s structure, how movement can rehydrate and reset your tissue, and how your nervous system and your fascia are having an ongoing conversation throughout the day.

From morning mobility rituals to breathwork, nervous system regulation, and the truth about “good posture,” I break down the lifestyle side of fascia health — so you can finally stop feeling achy, tired, and inflamed.

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • How stress and emotions live in your fascia (and how to release them)
  • Why stillness and stiffness are the new inflammation — and how to counteract them
  • Daily movement rituals that rehydrate and re-energize fascia
  • The connection between your nervous system, trauma, and fascia pain
  • Why posture isn’t about perfection — it’s about flow and alignment
  • Practical ways to build fascia-friendly habits into a modern lifestyle
⏰ Timestamps:

The Surprising Anti-Aging Benefits of Face Yoga

The Surprising Anti-Aging Benefits of Face Yoga

#171  - The Surprising Anti-Aging Benefits of Face Yoga Is it possible to tone and lift your face without fillers, surgery, or a drawer full of pricey serums? According to face yoga experts—and growing research—it just might be. In this episode of Pretty Well, we’re diving into what face yoga actually is, how it works, and why it’s being called the natural alternative to injectables. I break down the science behind aging skin, fascia, and facial muscle atrophy (it wasn’t going to happen to us, I know), and how regular facial exercises may support lymphatic drainage, collagen production, circulation, and that elusive youthful glow. We’ll also talk about what face yoga can’t fix—and what foundational habits actually make the biggest difference in skin health (great news: it’s not another serum). Plus, I share the underrated clinical pearl I’ve been using on my own skin with surprisingly great results. If you love natural beauty, anti-aging strategies, and simple habits that make a real difference, you’ll love this episode. Tune in—and maybe even snap a few “before” photos. Your cheekbones may thank you later. Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

You’re Not Weak—You’re Biochemically Wired to Crave Sugar (Here’s How to Break Free)

You’re Not Weak—You’re Biochemically Wired to Crave Sugar (Here’s How to Break Free)

#170  - You’re Not Weak—You’re Biochemically Wired to Crave Sugar (Here’s How to Break Free) Ever wonder why quitting sugar feels harder than giving up coffee, carbs... or your will to live? In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Mike Collins—founder of SugarAddiction.com and known as “The Sugar Free Man”—to unpack the hidden ways sugar addiction is wrecking your gut health, hormones, brain chemistry, and mood. We dive into how sugar hijacks your biochemistry, fuels inflammation, disrupts hormonal balance, and keeps your body stuck in a vicious cycle of cravings, fatigue, and blood sugar crashes. Mike shares how early childhood sugar exposure, emotional eating patterns, and even “healthy” foods are quietly feeding the addiction—and why going sugar-free isn't about willpower, it’s about rewiring your brain. If you’ve ever said, “I’m fine, I just have a sweet tooth,” while polishing off a bag of “organic” cookies, this one’s for you. Because it’s not about giving up joy—it’s about taking your health (and your energy) back. Your mitochondria will thank you.   Mike's Website: https://sugaraddiction.com/ Social:  https://www.facebook.com/QuitSugarNow https://www.youtube.com/@SugarAddiction https://www.facebook.com/groups/sugardetox.sugaraddiction.supportgoup https://twitter.com/Sugar_Free_Man https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-mike-collins-57a5628a/  Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Your Health with Dr. David Clarke, MD

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Your Health with Dr. David Clarke, MD

#169  - Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Your Health with Dr. David Clarke, MD What if your chronic symptoms aren’t just “in your body”… but are being generated by your brain? In this episode of Pretty Well, I’m sitting down with Dr. David Clarke, MD—author, speaker, and president of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms—to dive into a game-changing topic most doctors aren’t even talking about: how stress, trauma, and repressed emotions can drive real, physical illness. We’re breaking down what neuroplastic symptoms are, how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) silently program your health later in life, and why you might feel terrible even when your lab tests are “normal.” (Fun fact: the brain can cause real pain, gut issues, migraines, and autoimmune symptoms—and no, it’s not "just in your head.") You’ll learn why understanding the mind-body connection isn’t about blaming yourself—it’s about finally getting real answers that actually lead to healing. If you’re tired of dead-end doctor visits, bandaid treatments, and feeling like a medical mystery, this episode might be the lightbulb moment you’ve been waiting for. Because healing isn’t just possible—it might be closer than you think. LInks & Resources: Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

Do This FIRST to Slow Aging at the Cellular Level

Do This FIRST to Slow Aging at the Cellular Level

#168 - Do This FIRST to Slow Aging at the Cellular Level   If your energy is tanked, your skin looks older, and your brain feels like it’s buffering—don’t blame age, blame your cellular energy. Your mitochondria have shifted into slow gear to protect you. In fact, mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging.    In this episode of Pretty Well, I’m breaking down how these tiny energy factories inside your cells control everything from how you age to how well you think, move, and recover.   We talking 9 evidence-based (must-know) hacks to protect your mitochondria and even boost mitochondrial biogenesis (fancy for “make more of the good stuff”) so that you can slow and even reverse signs of aging.   From red light therapy and fasting options to specific nutrients and why your mitochondria love colorful veggies more than you do—this is the anti-aging roadmap you actually want to follow.   No gimmicks, no powders, no $400 serums. Just real tools to feel younger, stronger, and sharper from the inside out. Because getting older is inevitable—but aging tired, inflamed, and foggy is not.

Beyond Functional Medicine: Why Most Health Experts Can't Help Complex Chronic Illnesses with Dr. Mel Hopper Koppelman

#166  - Beyond Functional Medicine: Why Most Health Experts Can't Help Complex Chronic Illnesses with Dr. Mel Hopper Koppelman   What if your chronic complex health issues aren’t about needing more supplements or a new practitioner… but from a nervous system that’s been stuck in survival mode since childhood? In this episode of Pretty Well, I’m joined by Mel Hopper Koppelman—an expert in neurological healing who’s helping patients finally get better after functional medicine has failed.  We talk about the overlooked role of retained primitive reflexes, how childhood stress rewires adult health, and why your gut might still be leaky decades later (hint: it started long before gluten showed up). Mel breaks down why some people never fully heal from chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, mold toxicity, and even trauma—and what to do about it. You'll learn about the Cell Danger Response, what it means to truly “regulate your nervous system,” and why green smoothies might not be doing you any favors. Mel also unpacks in detail the 4 Stage Process of Recovering from Complex Chronic Health Issues.  If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things and still not getting better, this episode might flip everything you thought you knew about healing.   Connect with Mel: Website https://essays.synthesishealth.co/mel-hopper-koppelman/ Social https://www.instagram.com/synthesishealth.co/  https://www.facebook.com/melkoppelmanacupuncture    Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

6 Shocking Triggers of Leaky Gut and Autoimmunity You’re Probably Missing (and How to Heal Them)

6 Shocking Triggers of Leaky Gut and Autoimmunity You’re Probably Missing (and How to Heal Them)

#165  - 6 Shocking Triggers of Leaky Gut and Autoimmunity You’re Probably Missing (and How to Heal Them) If you’ve been told your gut issues are “just stress” or “no big deal,” pull up a chair—we’re about to get real. In this episode of Pretty Well, I’m breaking down the six sneaky root causes of leaky gut and autoimmunity that most people (and honestly, most doctors) completely miss. From gluten sensitivity and candida to parasites, SIBO, and nutrient deficiencies, we’ll dig into what’s actually going wrong under the hood—and why your immune system isn’t misfiring. Facts: Leaky gut isn’t just a GI issue—it’s the ignition switch for autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s, rheumatoid arthritis, skin disorders, and more. We’ll uncover the 3 Legged Stool of Autoimmunity and how to remove 1 or 2 of the legs to find real healing. You'll learn how gut permeability, microbiome imbalances, and chronic inflammation quietly fuel autoimmune disease—and more importantly, what you can do about it. If you’re tired of symptom-chasing and ready to get ahead of autoimmunity at the root level, this episode is your blueprint. Because you deserve more than just managing symptoms—you deserve to get real answers and actually heal.   Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

#164  - Too Tired for Sex?  It’s Not You, It’s Your Nervous System...Here’s How To Fix It With The Sex Docs   Think your “normal” labs are telling the full story? Think again. In this episode of The Pretty Well Podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant (and hilariously direct) Dr. Cristina Romero-Bosch and Dr. John Robinson—aka The Sex Docs—for a no-holds-barred look at what’s really going on in women’s bodies in midlife. We break down the symptoms most doctors brush off—think fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, brain fog, and “just getting older” (insert eye roll).   Oh, and if you’re on the pill or ever have been? You’ll definitely want to hear how it can mess with your gut microbiome, immune function, and sex drive—sometimes long after you’ve stopped taking it.   They also explain why your poop is basically a hormone status report and what your sex life can reveal about your health. If you’re ready to stop settling for feeling “meh” and start getting real answers, this episode is your hormone-fueled wake-up call.   Amazon LInks & Resources: *As An Amazon Associate I Earn A Small Commission From Qualifying Purchases At No Extra Cost To You*   Recommended Book:  Blind Spots - When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health https://amzn.to/3XQW4FL   Connect with Drs.
