Fascia connects every structure in our bodies.

While commonly just thought of as a layer of connective tissue, fascia has a sentience unto itself.

It's more than just collagen, elastin and the gel-like ground substance it's made of...

it holds memory too (whether physical, emotional, or otherwise).

Today's guest, nutritionist-herbalist-author Lisa Masé has been diving deeply into world of fascia over the past year.

In our conversation, Lisa shares about what fascia is and how it can shift between different states (more fluid, like seaweed in the ocean) or more tense (dry, cracky, almost like dried seaweed).

She also shares all about how we can sense the fascia in our own bodies, as well as ways we can nourish the fluid state of fascia through our food and herbs.

It's a rich exploration into this fascinating connective tissue that is basically a web throughout our bodies.

Our bodies are so much more than what we can see and even study from a physical, material level -- they carry such wisdom we can learn from. 

Fascia is one way we can tune in.
