Summary

What is fascia and why is it an essential tool to help your body heal itself? Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. My guest today, Anna Rahe, shares her personal journey to overcoming chronic pain by learning about our fascia's ability to heal itself when given the proper tools. In her own journey, she's discovered how understanding the way fascia works in our bodies can be the key to overcoming chronic pain and unlocking the body's potential to heal itself. Picture this – 20 years of pain, wiped away by tapping into the fascinating ability of fascia to contract and release, acting as a built-in therapist for our muscles, nerves, and organs. As the founder, CEO, and educator of GST Body, Anna has spoken about holistic body care through fascia around the world, partnered with top athletes, surgeons, physicians, and celebrities, and been featured in various publications, from Shape to Elle, Net-a-Porter to The Wall Street Journal.

0:08.3	Warning, side effects of this podcast may include increased health and vitality, thoughts of living longer,
0:12.3	developing a more positive outlook on life, an increase in sexual activity, feelings of joy,
0:16.1	cravings for kale and chemo, and a spike in Tinder matches.
0:18.8	In rare cases, people have experienced a strong desire to put down the Ben and Jerry's, get off the couch, and take a walk outside. If you experience any of these symptoms, tell your Facebook friends immediately.
0:29.5	All right, welcome, Food Heels Nation. Thanks for joining me. I'm Allison Melody coming at you from Nashville. It's cold here. How is the weather where you are?
0:39.4	I just got back from Florida, where it was warm, and now I am here craving warm weather.
0:44.5	I'm really not built for this cold. I have to be honest. I think I lived in Southern California
0:49.1	for too long. Should we go somewhere warm? I think I'm going to Tulum and California, and I got to get warm,
0:56.5	and maybe I'll do some food heels interviews there. But yeah, I just got back from Florida.
1:00.7	It was amazing. It was Podfest, which I've been going to seven or eight years now, one of my
1:05.6	favorite conferences, lots of my favorite people, you know, some of my closest friends I actually met there.
1:11.7	Many people have actually been on this show. And I had some conversations with some of you,
1:16.3	with some listeners. And a couple of you also reached out to me in December. And the conversations
1:21.7	were like, when are we doing something together again? And you're right. It's been a while since I've done an in-person
1:30.0	event. It's been a while since I've done an Italy retreat. Those were all before COVID. It's been a
1:35.3	while since I've done any online programs. The last one I ran was Healthy AF last year for four months
1:41.7	at this time. I used to do the Food Heels You Mastermind. I've done
1:46.4	the rise in bloom. So I've done all of these group coaching programs or in-person retreats or
1:54.1	masterminds with you. And they always have to do with health, wellness, or building your wellness
2:00.0	business. And so because this has
