#%$@ Promotes Health - and the Many Ways we Resist It | E15

Flow might not be something you measure on a lab panel, but when it’s blocked, your patients feel it.   Tracy Harrison unpacks seven places where flow gets disrupted in the body, often in ways that go unnoticed in clinical care. What happens when oxygen doesn’t circulate well because of poor posture or undiagnosed sleep apnea? Could chronic symptoms trace back to something as basic as hydration, or a lymphatic system that isn’t moving waste effectively? Tracy walks through the quiet impact of circadian misalignment, synthetic hormone use, and even tight clothing that impairs detox and digestion. And she makes the case for taking joy seriously, not as a bonus, but as a core element of physiological health. Could mindset, laughter, and forgiveness be just as important as nutrition and supplements?   This episode is a reminder to look beyond protocols and ask what might be getting in the way of the body’s natural flow and its capacity to heal.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Flow in Health 01:14 The Importance of Oxygenation 03:42 Subclinical Anemia and Oxygen Flow 04:47 Hydration: The Overlooked Blockage 06:46 The Role of Lymph in Circulation 08:55 Circadian Rhythms and Health 10:35 Hormonal Flow in Women’s Health 18:08 Physical Blockages and Detoxification 21:34 The Flow of Joy and Emotional Health 25:35 Embracing Flow for Vitality   Links Take SAFM's 10 CME course - the Essential Gut Deep Dive: https://schoolafm.com/gut-course Get weekly Clinical Tips in your inbox: https://schoolafm.com/clinical-tips  Learn more about SAFM’s practitioner training: https://schoolafm.com/our-program Subscribe to our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@safmchannel Access daily quick tips on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AppliedFunctionalMedicine/  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
