#173 - Achy, Tired, Feeling Old? Feed.Your.Fascia. Ever feel stiff, achy, or unable to move like you used to? Joints sound like popcorn when you stand up? That’s your fascia talking. In this episode of the Pretty Well Podcast, we’re diving into the unsung hero of your body — fascia — and more importantly, how to keep it healthy, hydrated, and pain-free.
We’ll cover why fascia is way more than just “connective tissue,” and how it actually influences everything from your movement to your emotions.
I’ll share why hydration isn’t just about chugging more water (hint: minerals matter), the nutrients your fascia craves and simple ways to sneak them into your daily meals.
I’ll also walk you through what a fascia-friendly day of eating looks like so you can start putting this into practice right away — no guesswork required.
If you want to feel more supple, less inflamed, and maybe even slow down some of that premature aging, this episode is your guide.
