Did You Know?

Did you realize that there’s a gigantic system in your body, all throughout your body, that impacts every organ, your cells, your hormones, your muscles? It’s one of the MOST important systems for your health, but you probably never think about it. I guarantee it’s never top of your mind, but it should be.

It’s your connective system, your fascia, and it’s extremely important for how your body feels and functions every day.

Anna Rahe is joining us on the podcast today.

At 18 years old, she felt and moved like she was 80…everything from her gut to her muscles just ached. She was unable to get any clear answers from every elite professional, which began her journey into understanding the body’s most pervasive and complex system, the fascial network. She has done extensive study in the fields of physics, biomechanics, and a myriad of movement methods and manual body work techniques. She’s also a member of the Fascia Research Society.

If you’re looking for the missing piece on how you can feel your best everyday, this might it!

In this enlightening conversation, we delve into the often-overlooked topic of fascia, the connective tissue that plays a crucial role in overall body health. Anna teaches us all about the structure and function of fascia, its relationship with hydration, the signs of unhealthy fascia, and how aging and hormonal changes can impact its health.

You’re going to learn the importance of movement and practical tips for maintaining healthy fascia throughout your body.
