Mindsip insights from this episode:
Address tongue restrictions to relieve tight hamstrings
A restricted tongue can be the root cause of seemingly unrelated chronic issues like tight traps or a hamstring that will never stretch out.
Understand diaphragm's embryological connection to breathing
Embryologically, the diaphragm forms in the throat area before descending to the belly, which explains the deep fascial connection between the mouth and breathing.
Release mouth tension to improve sinus breathing
The anatomical fact that the palate is the floor of the nasal canal is why releasing tension in the mouth can dramatically open up your sinuses for better breathing.
Identify 70 tension points linked to oral restrictions
There are over 70 predictable points on the body that contort and tighten as a result of oral restrictions that begin to form in the womb.
Perform myofascial release for kidney alignment
You can perform a myofascial release on your kidney by pinching your side with your thumb on your back and fingers on your belly, then rotating your torso.
Use nicotine patch for rapid constipation relief
Placing a nicotine patch over your lower right abdomen can stimulate the ileocecal valve via acetylcholine, potentially providing rapid constipation relief.
Use exaggerated sounds to release mouth tension
Making exaggerated sounds like a donkey's "hee-haw" or the word "awesome" can effectively loosen the muscles in the floor of your mouth.
Massage and stretch around right kidney for cold tolerance
Massaging and stretching the area around your right kidney can reset your nervous system, making shocking cold water feel pleasant and tolerable.
Address kidney alignment to resolve adrenal fatigue
Many cases of adrenal fatigue are actually caused by a misaligned kidney, as the adrenal gland is functionally just an addition to the renal (kidney) system.
