What if your bloating, brain fog, or hormone chaos isn't just hormones, but your lymphatic system calling for help? In this episode of Hello Hormones, I sit down with my good friend Dr. Caitlin Czezowski to unpack how this often-overlooked system impacts your hormones, energy, and overall health. We dig into the surprising signs of lymph congestion, why tight clothing and shallow breathing make things worse, and how your brain's glymphatic system clears waste only during deep sleep. Plus, Dr. Caitlin teaches her Specific Seven, a simple 3-minute routine to keep things flowing daily. If you've been feeling puffy, sluggish, or hormonally out of balance, this conversation will help you connect the dots and start clearing the path. Dr. Caitlin Czezowski is a functional medicine practitioner and lymphatic health educator.
