In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and Flowpresso founder, Desiree De Spong, for a deep dive into the lymphatic system—and why it's the secret key to modern health. We explore how Flowpresso evolved from a wild idea to a game-changing class 2 medical device, how mechanical compression mimics the body’s own fluid dynamics, and why heat, pressure, and vibration can completely reset your nervous system.
We unravel the myths around cancer and lymphatic drainage, discuss why chronic stress is the true pandemic, and celebrate the simple acts of grounding, breathing, and reconnecting to your body’s natural rhythms. This conversation is rich with gems for anyone looking to heal faster, age gracefully, and thrive in a world that often pulls us away from ourselves.
