In this episode, we discuss:Your lymphatic system = the body’s cleanup crew. When it’s stagnant or overloaded, swelling, inflammation, and hormone dysregulation can follow.Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is skin-deep, not deep tissue. Think gentle, rhythmic skin stretch to open lymph “doors”—not pressing into muscles.Start proximal → move distal. “Unpark the cars from the front”: open lymph node beds first, then move fluid toward them.Breath = lymph pump. Diaphragmatic (belly) breathing stimulates the cisterna chyli and supports lymph flow + parasympathetic tone.Movement matters. Use ankle pumps and calf contractions; a rebounder isn’t magic if you just bounce passively.Less is more with tools. Overzealous dry brushing can inflame tissue; many “lymph massages” are not true MLD.Self-advocacy is health care. If you feel dismissed, keep seeking practitioners who’ve walked the path and can collaborate with you.Practical “Try This” List2 minutes of belly breathing (hand on belly, slow inhale/exhale) morning & evening.Gentle self-MLD sequence (Be sure to check out Samantha’s YouTube for details to do it properly): open neck/axilla/groin nodes → short, light skin stretches toward node beds.Ankle pumps + calf squeezes during desk time to support venous/lymph return.Hydrate first (start with water; crowd out soda).Daily choices audit: food quality, sleep routine, and simple movement—pick one area this week and build from there.Check out Sam's websiteJoin her Skool CommunityFollow Samantha on YouTubeConnect with Samantha on facebookConversation Highlights & Timestamps0:02–1:24 — Rewriting “normal” in women’s health; episode setup & disclaimer.1:46–4:26 — What the lymphatic system does; Samantha’s hospital background & lymphedema training.3:04–4:20 — Lymph’s role in swelling, inflammation, stress, and hormone regulation.4:26–6:11 — Why lymph care is overlooked; simplicity beats complexity; belly breathing pumps lymph.6:13–7:20 — Hyper-specialization misses lymph; it’s central to immune & circulatory systems.7:20–9:12 — Hospital culture critiques; empowerment vs. passive care.9:14–10:26 — Deodorant, bras, and lymph flow discussion (choose low-toxic options and avoid constriction).10:26–13:59 — Self-MLD resources, why rebounders can be misused, mobility over gimmicks.14:06–16:39 — What true MLD feels like; “traffic jam” analogy; open nodes first, then move fluid.16:41–18:06 — Results clients can feel; gentle, rhythmic work calms the system.18:07–20:35 — Don’t settle for dismissal; keep seeking practitioners and solutions.20:36–23:22 — Guard your inputs (Facebook groups, negativity); trust the inner “this isn’t right” voice.23:22–24:24 — Diagnoses are labels, not destinies; insurance ≠ best care for everyone.24:24–26:12 — Shifts in healthcare; why many clinicians left hospital settings.26:15–28:33 — One action to start: treat your body better than your car (water, food quality, sleep).28:34–30:11 — Simple prescription: breathe and hydrate; where to find Samantha.30:12–31:12 — Close: you’re not broken; lymph has been overlooked—use it to support healing.Follow Lindsie on Instagram HEREListen to more episodes of PCOS Unfiltered wherever you get your podcasts  📝 Free Download: The Food Timeline TrackerUnlock the clues your body is already giving you.This simple worksheet helps you connect your meals to your hunger, cravings, and energy—so you can start spotting patterns, identifying insulin resistance symptoms, and making empowered food choices (no calorie counting required).
