The Organ Western Medicine Threw Away: How Fascia Proves Chinese Medicine was Right All Along

For the last 400 years when medical researchers conducted an autopsy they would throw this away as medical waste, not realizing it was actually a powerful connective organ...now Western science has finally caught up with Chinese Medicine in discovering the power of fascia. What is fascia in your body and how can learning about it benefit you?

In this episode you'll learn:

What fascia tissue is and how it connects every system in your body, allowing for strength and mobility.

How your fascia actually communicates throughout your body. If one organ has an issue, it could be impacting another one.

How your fascial system is your body's electrical system, conducting energy, a fact Western medicine is finally waking up to while Traditional Chinese Medicine has known it for thousands of years.

How embryology is the process through which one cell becomes your whole body, from conception to birth, and your meridian lines form the blueprint.

How to strengthen your fascia through moving, stretching, hydrating and breathing.
