0:00.0	Welcome. You're on air with Ella where we share simple strategies and tips for living a little better every day.
0:09.6	If you're interested in mindset and wellness or healthy habits and relationships, or hormone health, aging well and eating well, honestly, if you're into just living better and with more energy, then you're in the right
0:21.8	place. We're not here for perfect. We're here for a little better every day. Let's go.
0:29.2	Hey, you're on air with Ella, and today I am joined by Julia Blackwell. Hey, Julia, how are you?
0:34.5	Hey, thanks so much for having me on. Great to be here. Julia, will you do me a favor and tell us who you are and what you do?
0:41.3	I am Julia Blackwell, and I am a fascia release practitioner and educator just outside of Denver, Colorado.
0:49.5	And yeah, I've been educating people on this magical, wonderful thing called fascia for the last,
0:54.9	like 12 to 13 years. Well, I've had this show for nine years, I want to say, and I cannot believe
1:01.2	that I have never spoken about this. I've never had a fascia expert on before. Given my own
1:06.1	experience, you would think that this would be like my sixth show on fascia. So needless to say, I am so glad you're here. Will you do us a

1:20.7	What is fasha? Yeah, great question. I think one of the easiest analogies to understand it is to envision it like plastic wrap
1:29.1	that wraps around every single thing in your body. So fascia wraps around each muscle
1:35.0	fibral and multiple fibrales make up just one muscle fiber and fascia wraps around each
1:41.2	fiber. It wraps around each muscle, each muscle group, each bone,
1:47.0	ligament, tendon, blood vessel, organ, and nerve. It is this intricate three-dimensional
1:52.7	plastic wrap suit that we have on the inside. And it's what organizes all of the water and
1:59.4	material that we have in our body. So, you know, depending on how
2:03.5	healthy and hydrated and maybe how old you are, we're all between, you know, maybe 55 and 75% water.
2:10.8	And the vast majority of that water is contained within our fascial system. And why we don't
2:16.1	just have balloon legs where all of the water is
2:18.8	puddled at our feet is because of fascia. Fascia is what is organizing us into our shape,
