WEBVTT - The Truth About Your Fat - Part 2 (Outweigh)

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I won't let my body. I'll be out wait everything

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that I'm made. Won't spend my life trying to change.

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm learning love who I am again, Sean. I feel free.

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I know every part of me. It's beautiful and that will.

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:24.479
<v Speaker 2>Always out way if you feel it.

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>But she'll some love to the why get there?

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Say go day and did you and die out way?

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Happy Saturday, out weigh. It's leanne here and we are

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.840
<v Speaker 3>back for part two of the Truth about Your Fat.

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.520
<v Speaker 3>And if you miss part one, go ahead and check

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 3>that out because we definitely gave you the context of

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 3>what we are talking about here today. But you probably

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 3>guess by now that we are talking about fat and

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 3>as you'll learn, this really cool thing called fascia. But

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 3>the reason we're doing an entire series on this is

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 3>because I believe that fat is so misunderstood because we

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 3>hate it, we fear it, we name it, we blame it,

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 3>we shame it, and some people will do whatever they

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 3>can to destroy it and eliminate it. But whoever said

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>that fat was ugly or something to be ashamed of,

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 3>and whoever said it was a bad thing? Right? Whoever

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 3>said that fat was anything other than fat? And so

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 3>again I'm sharing all of this with you to just

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 3>impress upon you that if you have this dysmorphic relationship

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 3>with your body fat, as in the subcutaneous fat on

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 3>your body, then I absolutely urge you to actually learn

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 3>about it and discover what it is and discover what

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>it's not, and that way you can dispel the lies

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 3>and use it as a way to connect with yourself

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.559
<v Speaker 3>or get past any residual body shame that you might

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 3>still be experiencing. But since it is such a prevalent

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>enemy in today's world, and yes again I'm definitely putting

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 3>enemy in air quotes, we might as well learn about it.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 3>In fact, if all we do is hate on fat

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 3>and wish it away, we might miss out on its

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 3>useful and downright cool characteristics because physiologically, neurologically, psychologically, there's

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 3>so many components of fat that there is to be,

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, discovered, but no one's really talking about that

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 3>side of it. And it's this metabolically active substance that's

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 3>part of our body. But again, most women don't know

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 3>about that side of it either, And when you think

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>about it, we fear what we don't know, and that's

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 3>the perfect place to dive in. So let's get to

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.919
<v Speaker 3>know it. Okay. So, thing number one that I want

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 3>you to know about fat is that it's just fat. Okay,

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 3>it's just fat. Yes, Like your elbow is just an elbow,

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 3>your eyebrow is just an eyebrow, and your fat is

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 3>just fat. But it's also this super powerful substance that

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>no one talks about. And just like every other part

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 3>of your body, your fat has an actual job to do.

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 3>In many cases, its job is to protect you. And

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 3>so not only will your stored body fat keep you

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 3>alive if your body experiences a food shortage while roaming

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 3>the desert or while stranded on a deserted island, if

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 3>that ever happens to people in reality, but fat takes

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 3>care of us in other various ways too, And so

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 3>it cushions and protects your vital organs, and it insulates

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 3>your body against heat loss, and it protects nerve tissue.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 3>But ladies, it also helps regulate your menstrual cycles. And

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 3>what most women don't know is your fat is very smart. Okay.

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 3>So you may regard fat as this stubborn, squishy substance

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 3>that you wish would disappear, but In reality, fat is

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 3>simply a tissue. Technically, it's an ad a post tissue,

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 3>and it's smarter than you think it is. Now, just

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 3>roll with me for a minute because I'm gonna get

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 3>a bit geeky. But it will all come back full circle,

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I promise. So back in eighteen sixty four, a guy

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 3>by the name of John Hilton came up with a

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 3>theory that is well known today and frequently taught in

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 3>anatomy courses. And it's called Hilton's law, that's what they

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 3>call it today, and it states that the nerves that

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 3>supply any muscles and its joints are also supplying the

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 3>skin and surrounding tissues related to that particular joint. So again,

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 3>whatever nerves are supplying your muscles and your joints, they're

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 3>also supplying tissues. Okay, So here's why this is so cool.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Your muscles and joints are constantly communicating with your nervous system,

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 3>but based on Hilton's law, so is your fat. That

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 3>means that every time your brain sends a signal to

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 3>your elbow to flex that bicep muscle, or that hip

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 3>to extend to activate your glutes, it's also sending a

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 3>signal to the surrounding tissues and fat. But it doesn't

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 3>just stop there. Okay, So back in the day, I

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 3>wrote an article for the Huffington Post. It was probably

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 3>like ten years ago at this point, because, like I said,

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.679
<v Speaker 3>I've been fascionated by this subject for a long time.

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 3>But my editor at huff Post loved what I was sharing,

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 3>but she wanted me to back up my sources. So

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 3>I referenced this study that they did at the Department

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 3>of Dermatology at Queen's Medical Center in the UK, and

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 3>they dedicated an entire study to the nervous system's connection

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 3>to fat. So you can imagine why I love this study.

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 3>But that study stated specifically that at a post tissue

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 3>so fat, it's not just concerned with energy storage, right,

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 3>but it's also a major endocrine and secretary organ as well,

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 3>So hello metabolism. Fat is a hormonal and digestive organ.

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 3>And this blew my mind. I'm like, wait a minute,

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 3>fat isn't just fat, It's actually an endocrine organ, so

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>of course we're talking hormones here, and then it's a

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 3>secretary organ as well, so we're talking digestion. And Queen's

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 3>Medical Center literally called fat an organ all by itself.

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 3>So why is this good news for you and you're fat? Well,

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 3>for one thing, your fat is powerful, right, It's got

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 3>brain power, It has neural properties, which means it has

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 3>metabolic power and the survival power that we already talked about. Like,

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 3>that's a lot of power. But here's some other things

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 3>that will be important later on. So fat is also

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 3>temperature sensitive as well. So you know how coconut oil,

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 3>if you leave it out at room temperature, it's solid, right,

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 3>But anything above room temperature and it turns into a liquid.

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Right well, your body fat is also directly affected by temperature,

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 3>both both hot and cold temperatures. So heating pads and

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 3>hot baths and saunas and ice packs, they're a useful

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 3>tool for impacting more than just your muscles and your joints.

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Your fat can be impacted by temperature too, and the

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 3>structure of your fat and fascia, as you'll learn and

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 3>we'll talk about it, it's easily manipulated just by changing

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 3>the temperature of the substance or the organ as we

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 3>can now call it. Right, fat is an organ, right

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 3>bottom line, though, your tissues, including fat and fascia are

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 3>heat sensitive, and that allows you to be able to

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 3>more easily manipulate it, which will come back to in

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 3>a moment. Okay, but that actually brings us to my

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 3>next point. Your fat and your fascia are pliable, muldible,

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 3>transformable things. Okay, So this is actually a really good

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 3>time to tell you about fascia and what it is

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 3>and what it does, because I keep mentioning it. But

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 3>if you're starting to have a new appreciation for subcutaneous fat,

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 3>just wait till you learn about fascia. So, fascia is

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 3>a connective tissue and it's this NonStop, never ending tissue.

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 3>And the way I describe it is it's kind of

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 3>like this tissue, paper thin material that is sticky like

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 3>duct tape. So it's paper thin, but it's crazy sticky,

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>and it surrounds everything in your body, from your organs

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 3>to your muscles to your joints. It's really everywhere. And

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 3>besides blood and oxygen and water, fascia is the most

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 3>plentiful system in our bodies. And it's this never ending

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 3>connected chain. So there's no way to tell where fashia

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.559
<v Speaker 3>starts and where it ends because it's this never ending line,

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 3>or it's really a series of lines that run from

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 3>the top of your head to the bottoms of your

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 3>feet and everywhere in between. So just picture fascia like

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 3>literally wrapping around you like a mummy, like top of

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 3>your head, bottom of your feet, around, crisscross, up, down, left, right,

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 3>like every direction, like seriously, there's no beginning and there's

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 3>no end, and it's everywhere, including surrounding your fat. But

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 3>here's the other thing about fascia and why your nervous

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 3>system is just so dang smart and I'm so fascinated

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 3>by it. If your muscles are not doing their job. Okay,

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 3>so let's say maybe you have muscle imbalances, or maybe

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 3>you have some old injuries, right, and that's creating muscle imbalances, right,

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 3>or maybe you're injured right now. If your muscles aren't

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 3>doing their job, or maybe the join itself is not

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 3>doing its job, your body will laid down fascia to

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 3>essentially provide extra structure and support to support your body

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 3>so that you don't get injured. Right. So it's really

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>helpful when you think of it that way, because it's

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 3>helping your body do what your joints and muscles aren't

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 3>able to do. But there is a flip side to that,

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 3>because if you don't correct the movement or correct the

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 3>map or the movement pattern, the fascia will stay there

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 3>and sometimes it can actually bind fat within it. So

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 3>it's a bit of a catch twenty two. But it's

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 3>really helpful and can provide structural support, but it can

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 3>also bind fat. So that's why I say it's a

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 3>catch twenty two. So this is where I'll go back

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 3>to what I shared in part one, The truth about

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 3>your fat and a lot of my fashion nation started

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>when I noticed that I had these pockets of fat

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.079
<v Speaker 3>surrounding the areas of my body that were affected by

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 3>my spine surgery. But they weren't normal like you know,

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.959
<v Speaker 3>cheesecake and red wine fat, right. It was this thick,

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 3>fibrous kind of fat. And that's because I was feeling

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 3>the fascia that was surrounding my fat, okay, And so

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 3>fascia had laid itself down to help my glutes and

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 3>the muscles surrounding my spine actually do their job because

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 3>I had some like nerve damage and it wasn't doing

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 3>its job on its own, and so fascia just kind

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 3>of came in there and supported me. But my muscles

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 3>weren't magically just turning back on because of the neurological

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 3>damage from my injury and surgery, and so fascia just

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 3>kept laying itself down, kept laying itself down, and it

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 3>was encasing fat within that too. So now I was

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 3>having like layers and layers of fashion and that's what

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 3>I was feeling. So here's what I learned in my research.

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 3>So there's something called lipolysis, and lipolysis is essentially the

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 3>process that needs to take place for your body to

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.960
<v Speaker 3>actually metabolize fat from your body and release it to

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 3>be burned, aka fat loss, which is the thing that

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, the world's kind of obsessed with. So it's like, again,

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 3>let's take a look at what fat loss actually is.

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 3>It's this process called lipolysis, okay. And in my research,

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 3>I learned that in order for lipolysis to happen, it

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.719
<v Speaker 3>needed these things called catecholamines, which essentially travel through your

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 3>blood to the targeted cell or the adipocytes, and for

0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 3>lack of a better way of saying it, they kind

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of open up the fat cell for the stored

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 3>triglycerides to be mobilized or released. And that's kind of

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.079
<v Speaker 3>what fat loss is in a nutshell, right, and again

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm totally oversimplifying it, but that's like polysis in a nutshell.

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 3>If there's catacholamines present, the fat cell can release the

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 3>stoarege triglycerides and the fat can be mobilized. Okay, and

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.439
<v Speaker 3>again oversimplifying it. But here's the thing. If you have

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 3>fascia that is essentially suffocating your fat and binding to it,

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of like I shared with mine, right, it kind

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 3>of acts like a shield or a blockade, and it

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 3>doesn't allow the catchola means to reach the adipocytes. It

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 3>actually starts acting as a barrier. So this is where

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 3>you can do as much you know, diet and exercise

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 3>as possible, But if you have fascia that is binding

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 3>your subcutaneous fat, it won't matter. Okay, Blood and oxygen

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 3>can never reach the targeted cell and release the fat.

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 3>And that's actually what cellulite is. It's fascially bound fat.

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 3>By the way, that explanation, the fact that cellulite is

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 3>fascially bound fat, that in itself helped me really disarm

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 3>my judgment and my shame around my cellulite too, right.

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Oh, it's just fascially bound fat, like

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.319
<v Speaker 3>that's what those little pockets or dimples are. Like, Wow,

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 3>that's the data, right, versus like, oh my gosh, I'm

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 3>a bad person. What's wrong with you? You have cellulate, your ugly,

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 3>your growth fill in the blank. And again, for purposes

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 3>of this podcast, I'm oversimplifying this language and I'm not

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 3>getting super technical, so you know, for any of you

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 3>technical geeks out there, like myself, just just know that

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm simplifying this for the sake of simplicity. But that's

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 3>how fascia can interact with fat. And then, of course,

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 3>on the flip side, like we said, if you have

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 3>a protective layer of fascia surrounding your muscle because the

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 3>muscle or joint isn't doing its job, once again, blood

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.680
<v Speaker 3>and oxygen can't really access the muscle and allow it

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 3>to turn on. So again, fascia is awesome and helpful

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 3>and this miraculous system in our bodies, but it can

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 3>also be a barrier for muscles and fat for the

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 3>two reasons that I mentioned. So now you can probably

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 3>imagine how I was, like, how is nobody talking about fascia, right, Like,

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 3>not only does it have a lot to do with

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 3>fat storage and fat loss, but it also happens to

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 3>be a big influencing factor when it comes to muscular

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 3>function and nerve function and injury, you know, recovery, prevention,

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 3>all the things. So I'm not going to go down

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 3>the deep rabbit hole of fascia today on this episode

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 3>because it's this massive subject and that's why we're doing

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 3>an entire series on this subject. But i will just

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 3>say this, Okay, there's a couple of sides to this

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.439
<v Speaker 3>concept of your fat and fascia being moldable and pliable, okay,

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.200
<v Speaker 3>And so we'll start with the logical one, or the

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.200
<v Speaker 3>obvious one that it is a substance. Actually, you know,

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 3>fat and fascia are two different substances, but both of

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 3>them are mouldable and pliable, and their textures can be

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 3>broken up and transformed and can benefit from massage and

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.079
<v Speaker 3>touch and using tools to actually break up the knots

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 3>and the adhesions. And we're going to talk about that

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.199
<v Speaker 3>in the next two episodes. But on the other side

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.560
<v Speaker 3>of it, when you think about the areas and this

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 3>is the okay, that was my logic and reason side

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 3>of it. But this is where I really want to

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 3>talk to your heart. When you think about the areas

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.720
<v Speaker 3>of your body where you have excess fat, and I

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 3>see excess, but like just the places that you your

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 3>version of excess. Right, I'm not saying that as a

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 3>dig or a judgment. I'm putting myself in your shoes

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 3>where you are looking at your fat and thinking like

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 3>it's not supposed to be there. So you know, typically

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 3>it's a lot of places like love handles, your tummy,

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 3>your thighs. I don't know about you, but for me,

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 3>when I had all of this shame within me about

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 3>my body, those were the places that I ignored. Even

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 3>more right, I never touched them. They were never exposed

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 3>to sunlight because I was like covering them up with

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 3>cardigans and you know, T shirts and all of that,

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 3>and they had the least amount of exposure to light

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 3>and oxygen. So on top of having a high likelihood

0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 3>of being like behind fashionally bound fat, I was giving

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 3>them less neuro feedback than the rest of my body

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>because it's the areas of my body that I was

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 3>tending to cover up. Right, And so if you're never

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 3>seeing daylight. They're never getting touched or massage. It kind

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 3>of gets them stuck even further, like even less blood

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 3>and oxygen, which we learn you actually need for mypolysis

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 3>or fat loss. So again it's another bit of a

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 3>catch twenty two. And that's why I talk about like

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 3>the psychological side of fat, right, It's really important. And again,

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 3>I know this might sound a little bit weird to you,

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 3>like it did to me too, because nobody's talking about it.

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I never heard about fat and its relationship

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 3>with fascia in the health and fitness world, but it

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 3>is as real as real can be. And taking care

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 3>of my fat and my fascia and looking at it like, okay,

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 3>like I have muscles, I have teeth, I have hair

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 3>that I take care of. Why don't I take care

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 3>of the most plentiful system of tissue in my body?

0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 3>And why don't I start taking care of my fat

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 3>and fascia? And I literally just started there, and that's

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 3>exactly where we're gonna start next week on part three

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 3>of this series. So really, that is what I wanted

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 3>to impress upon you today, first of all, that you

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 3>have fat and fascia, whether you like it or not,

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 3>So why don't you learn about it and look at

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 3>it and discover how it works rather than just shaming

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 3>it or blaming it. Okay, so that's the number one.

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 3>But also that you can't self love your way to

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 3>something that you don't take care of or flat out

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 3>ignore or disregard. And so what if taking care of

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 3>your body, and we're going to talk about that that

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 3>includes taking care of your fat and your fascia. What

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 3>if that was your path to self love and self

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 3>esteem and self worth and what if that was your

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 3>path to health? And I'm not just saying, you know,

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 3>blindly take my word for it. I'm saying, go try

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 3>it on, see what serves you. And this is what

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 3>my clients and I are doing, and this is how

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 3>I live and how my clients live. The third thing

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I would just want to impress upon you is simply

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 3>to share that fat is so cool and fascia is

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 3>so cool, and when you learn about it and what

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 3>it has the power to do, like wow, you are

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 3>going to be so much more equipped to take care

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 3>of yourself and your health. And I mean it physically, mentally, emotionally,

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 3>all of it. So that's where I'll just leave it

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 3>for right now, and then in next week's episode, we're

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 3>going to start talking about how to start taking care

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.760
<v Speaker 3>of your fat and your fascia so that you can

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 3>get what you really want right which is freedom and

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 3>peace of mind and happiness and acceptance. And yes, we're

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.240
<v Speaker 3>still talking about your fat right So that's it for today, Outweigh,
