In this episode I explain where the kidneys sit in the body, resting on the psoas, your hip flexor, and what I see happen as people age: kidney tension becomes hip flexor tension, and the body starts to bend forward. I share the simple things that help the kidney, and why I believe getting older does not have to mean getting worse.\nThis episode is for education and isn't medical advice.\nMy writing, teaching, and book live at https://leighankrum.com\nPractitioners: https://leighankrum.com/practitioners\nCHAPTERS\n0:00 Coming up\n0:23 The Body Knows\n0:37 Welcome: kidneys and aging\n0:44 Subclinical dehydration\n1:11 The kidneys' workload\n1:52 Where the kidneys sit\n2:24 Why people bend forward with age\n3:07 What helps the kidney\n3:31 Aging does not have to mean worse\n3:46 Until next time","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rM60Up3MCQcJhl209n5dGnqqpIdHRQYQ61Kh1Dqj6yE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZWM1/N2NkMTViODljZjll/NzQ5MzE2NmZjNTJk/OGVhOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
