Episode notes
Serotonin As Gravity Management
- Gravity shaped our biology; serotonin evolved as a "gravity management" chemical produced largely by the gut microbiome.
- The microbiome helped terrestrial life adapt by priming pumps and tubes for upright living.
Clinic Case: Gut Collapse On Standing
- Dr. Brennan Spiegel diagnosed a young woman with gravity intolerance after noticing hypermobile joints and watching her intestines collapse on standing x-ray.
- She had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and improved with targeted strength and hypopressive exercises.
Strengthen The Abdominal Suspension
- Do hypopressive exercises and strength training to lift and support abdominal organs against gravity.
- Try swimming as a horizontal activity to reduce gravitational strain while strengthening support systems.
