Summary
This episode is for every woman who's ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or more confused than when she went in. Jennifer Nelson-Hawks joins me to unpack:
* How your lymphatic system is like your body's sewer system (and how to actually get it flowing)
* The truth about hydration and why just drinking water isn't enough
* Gut health: why it's called your second brain and what it's really trying to tell you
* How to know when your doctor isn't really on your side, and how to get honest answers
This isn't about giving you another to-do list. It's about learning how to trust your body, ask better questions, and finally feel like you're in the driver's seat of your health again.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the show. It's September 16th. And if you've been listening for any amount of time, |
| 0:07.6 | you know that I batch record these episodes. So I actually haven't sat down since the beginning of |
| 0:13.8 | August to record a whole bunch of episodes. So I'm fresh back from my time at my sister's wedding. |
| 0:19.8 | Oh my goodness. I officially have a brother-in-law. |
| 0:22.7 | We've been waiting 15 years for this day. Oh, it feels good. Today, we're going to be talking |
| 0:28.8 | about lymphatic drainage. Oh, it's a good one. I can't wait to share this one with you. |
| 0:34.7 | I think especially this holds true when we feel like we're drowning in |
| 0:39.2 | health advice and we're trying like every supplement under the sun and we're still just not |
| 0:44.2 | getting anywhere. My intention for today's episode is to talk about the lymphatic system, |
| 0:50.8 | hydration, gut health and these key aspects that so many women struggle with when |
| 0:57.7 | we're trying to advocate for our own health with doctors that just won't listen. So I wanted to |
| 1:02.7 | create this space because I know how isolating it feels when you're told that nothing is wrong, |
| 1:09.7 | but you know in your bones that something isn't right. |
| 1:13.5 | And so a lot of the pieces that we're talking about are geared toward lymphatic imbalance. |
| 1:19.1 | I don't know what's happening recently if there's just more awareness around it or if insurance |
| 1:25.2 | is starting to cover it. But the amount of people saying they have |
| 1:28.1 | lipidema is massively increased. And I have seen lipidema have very strong roots in lymphatic issues. |
| 1:37.4 | So a lot of us are sitting, not moving, not moving in a way that supports our lymphatic drainage. And so today's episode has the intention |
| 1:47.3 | of just helping you see something a little bit different. Now, in today's episode, I do mention a |
| 1:54.0 | couple of supplements and resources. If you go to healthful pursuit.com slash full script and you write down that link or you click the |
| 2:03.2 | link in the show notes, it's going to take you to my full script page. When you set up your account, |
