Flow & Flush: The Science Behind Lymphatic Drainage with Rebecca Faria, Detox By Rebecca

I gained 70 pounds with each of my pregnancies. After two kids, I assumed the soft tissue around my abdomen and lower back was just what came with being a mom. After one session with Rebecca Faria, the pioneer of Brazilian lymphatic drainage in the US, those "pockets of fat" were gone — and a six-pack I had never seen on my own body appeared overnight.It wasn't fat. It was lymphatic fluid I had been holding onto for years.This week on Mirror Mirror, I sit down with Rebecca Faria — founder of Detox by Rebecca in Beverly Hills, and the practitioner behind some of the most talked-about lymphatic drainage results in LA — for the expert deep-dive on what the lymphatic system actually does, why our modern lifestyle keeps it stuck, and what every woman should know about how it changes after pregnancy, in perimenopause, and as muscle mass declines.We also get into the morning and night routines Rebecca swears by, what cupping marks actually mean (mine were dark over my kidneys — she explained exactly why), and the at-home techniques anyone can do without ever stepping into a clinic.→ Have a beauty question you want me to tackle on the next Inbox?
