I have a torn bicep tendon that I've talked about a lot on the podcast and struggled with for a long time.

It corrected an arch in my foot and corrected my hip and just walking around afterward, I felt immediately better.

My wife said the same thing, Sage.

Oh yeah, like, I don't wanna say euphoric, but clear and wide awake and just alert, like my brain turned on all of a sudden, no question.

Yeah.

And the way that you get performance out of the body and see some of these results is by realigning it.

And like, you know, I've done rolfing, I've done myofascial release, I've done all of these different things.

you know, modalities to align or release the fascia.

And very often they've been successful.

I know that when it folds over on itself, it can restrict mobility.

And if you lengthen it, you can restore that mobility.

I think chiropractors generally do that

Yeah, I mean, they definitely do.

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.
