For my athletes, they can't figure out why they keep getting re-injured.

And it's because our cells are constantly going through a healing cycle all the time.

This is how we repair.

This is how we regenerate.

And if we talk about like the foundational cellular healing cycle, hemostasis, the blood stops, your body looks around, checks the environment.

And then we go through inflammation, which is basically bringing the workers

to the area clearing out debris.

But for the immune cells to get there,

to repair things and to do their job,

the rest of your cells have to become more permeable.

Then we go through assimilation,

which is rebuilding everything, and then remodeling.

And your cells go through this over and over and over.

Another way to look at it is that you have a repetitive chance to start over your healing cycle. But that also means that you have a repetitive chance to mess it up. And so then I find in health, it's often this like two steps forward, one step back, two steps forward, one step back. So for anyone who is making progress, if you have a setback, just like understand

it's a little bit of the process. And you can often make some big change and have a good

catalyst, then you get flung backwards. And we think that it's this linear path when really it's a cycle.

When we talk about healing, what would you say is the most important thing to understand

about how your body feels?

I think it's often misunderstood.
