0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of iWay with Jamina Jamil, a podcast against shame.
0:04.0	I hope you're well and I hope you're still enjoying the new direction of this podcast.
0:07.9	This year we've been moving really towards quite an optimistic place.
0:12.5	We're trying to talk about restoring our society, restoring ourselves, restoring our mental health
0:19.2	as much as we can. And I'm also very interested in restoring our physical health and not just
0:24.6	restoring but actually preventing things from going wrong. I've always been someone who's

0:43.2	I don't want to live the rest of my life the way I've lived it up until now, just waiting for

1:20.4	especially a woman. It's so hard as a woman to be understood or believed by the fucking healthcare
1:26.5	world. So I like conversations like the one I'm having today that feel like holistic and soothing
1:32.6	and preventative, even though it's actually based in mainstream medicine. I invited certified
1:38.6	lymphedema therapist Lisa Levitt Gaines Leon to explain lymphatic systems to us what they are,
1:44.4	how they work, the purpose they serve and why it's so important to look after them, whether it's
1:49.4	before you get illness or after or after you've had something like chemotherapy, the lymph is so
