But what I find really fascinating about your work is that you believe that it is much more than connective tissue, that neural communication is happening through this connective tissue and that hormone regulation, that emotional regulation, and that you can unlock things like stored trauma from the fascia.

And I've seen it so many times.

in your videos and I know so many people that I hold in high regard that have experienced it with you, that I tend to believe it even though I don't understand the mechanism.

That drives me crazy too, because you know, as like a human biologist, I have to know the why, you know, before I got in a red light bed, I mean, I read about the cytochrome C oxidase dissociation

mitochondrial nitric oxide.

I went deep down the rabbit hole of mitochondrial respiration.

But it inherently makes sense to me because I'm familiar with how my collapsed arch led to a medial knee pain, led to lateral hip pain, led to anterior shoulder pain.

And I understand this biometric chain and some people might not accept that if my foot collapses, my shoulder hurts.

but that's how it works.

And this works in the spine too.

But to go a layer deeper and say, there's more than just structure and stability here.

There's communication, there's hormones, there's emotional trauma, there's all kinds of things in this fascia.

I wonder if you might just touch on that.

I wasn't abused.

Yeah, a lot of people say that too.

I wasn't abused as a child.

I don't remember anything.

I grew up in a, you know, I didn't have an alcoholic parent or abusive parent.

You know, that's what I think what we think trauma is.

Oh yeah, yeah, triggered.
