Everybody says the body is all connected — but what does that actually mean? In this episode I introduce the central chain: the line of fascial connections running from the top of your head, deep through the neck, to the heart, the liver, the small intestine, and down to the pelvic floor. I walk through why trouble in any one structure pulls on all the others, how the chain creates the forward-pulled posture so many of us carry, and where practitioners can begin to release it.

How does the body actually heal? Leigh Ankrum — founder of the Ankrum Institute and a teacher of whole-body manual therapy — shares short, clear conversations on what your body is telling you: fascia, the nervous system, the body's pressure systems, movement, and the deeper patterns underneath pain. If you have ever sensed there was more to your symptoms than you were told, you are in the right place. The body knows — listen in.
