Summary

bengreenfieldfitness.com/powersource

I recently read a fascinating title by today's podcast guest—celebrity trainer and goop expert (whatever that means) Lauren Roxburgh—The Power Source: The Hidden Key to Ignite Your Core, Empower Your Body, Release Stress, and Realign Your Life.

The Power Source offers a deep understanding of how to cultivate this strength by following a holistic, multisensory program. Starting with the pelvic floor, Roxburgh focuses on the five power centers that can be harnessed throughout the body:

  • Pelvic floor
  • Deep core
  • Upper core
  • Heart and shoulders
  • Head, neck, and jaw

During this discussion, you'll discover:

-What the pelvic floor is, and what impact it has on our bodies...9:00

-How the pelvic floor is related to epigenetic trauma...13:50

-What happens when we excessively clutch or tighten the pelvic floor...18:40

-Easy, at-home pelvic floor therapy...26:38

-Why a small squishy ball is vital to the health of the pelvic floor...35:24

-Why the gut is increasingly problematic in modern society...40:24

-The importance of the upper core...50:46

-How to carry that weight on your shoulders and stay connected to your pelvic floor...58:45

-The cranial sacral connection and the nervous system...1:04:36
