0:00.0	Welcome everybody to today's edition of the Lindsay Elmore show. I'm so excited because we are going to be talking about something that comes up all of the time. It's our trendy lymphatic system. I've taught you guys over and over again when you ask how does detox happen. And we talk about how cells drain to lymph, lymph drains to blood, blood drains to liver, liver
0:22.6	drains to gallbladder, gallbladder drains to colon, and then we move into the intestines,
0:27.7	and then we move out of the bowels.
0:29.4	And that's one of our primary ways that we move toxins out of our system.
0:35.7	And so the lymphatic system is absolutely critical for our circulation,

1:53.2	perspective. She sought a master's in holistic nutrition as well as a doctorate of naturopathy.
2:00.3	Naturopathy, also known as naturopathic medicine or natural medicine, is an alternative
2:04.8	medical system that focuses on natural remedies and the body's ability to heal and
2:12.0	maintain itself.
2:13.8	She is a vauder trained certified lymphatic drainage specialist.
2:19.0	She's going to tell us what on earth that means.
