Doritos Are Not Rocket Fuel

In this episode of Recovery Mode, Jack and Marce get practical — talking diet, detox, lymphatic flow, and what’s actually clogging your system (hint: it’s not just your inbox).

They dig into how food choices, inflammation, and everyday habits impact everything from gut health to neck pain — and why your colon might secretly be sabotaging your prostate. You’ll learn why “whole foods” actually means whole human, how to spot the difference between real hunger and stress-snacking, and what happens when you eat like your great-grandparents versus your cereal box.

From there, Marce walks through the basics of myofascial release and lymphatic drainage — including why it’s not supposed to hurt, how to roll properly, and the gentle tapping method that can clear your sinuses and brain fog.

Plus, a quick mailbag question: “How do I find someone like Marce near me?” (Spoiler: look for Structural Energetic Therapy, Functional Patterns, or Barnes-style myofascial release practitioners.)

Highlights:

• The real meaning behind “Recovery Mode”
• Why diet is step one in reducing pain and inflammation
• Caloric intake, hidden snacking, and the “Daddy Tax”
• How modern food and toxins overwhelm your natural detox systems
• A gentle intro to myofascial releases (and why “foam rolling” is misnamed/misunderstood)
• Lymphatic tapping for drainage and brain clarity
• Finding trustworthy practitioners near you
