The Fascia Guide
thefasciaguide
The Fascia Guide is a podcast about the body, new research, and a changing perspective on health, pain, and discomfort. Right now, a global revolution is unfolding in anatomical research, fundamentally altering our view of the human body. It focuses on Fascia, a network of connective tissue with no beginning or end, enveloping everything in the body, from muscles and bones to organs and cells. The Fascia Guide exists to provide knowledge about the body in a simple way. It’s a podcast about science and proven experience, about philosophy and new insights, about the practical application of new research, and about the little things that make a difference to your well-being.

21. The Fascia Guide Live - Christmas Special
The episode was first published on The Fascia Guide LIVE YouTube channel on December 18, 2024.
In this Christmas Special, Axel Bohlin and Per Johansson explore a deeper question: How important is belief when it comes to healing?
For both the one who treats and the one who receives treatment, belief, trust, and inner conviction may play a far greater role than we usually acknowledge.

19. The Fascia Guide Live - Imagination
The episode was first published on The Fascia Guide Live YouTube channel on November 27, 2024.
In this episode, Axel Bohlin and Per Johansson explore the power of imagination and how our inner images shape the way we understand the body, fascia, and life itself.
They talk about how imagination can make the understanding of the body easier, and how visualizing healing may help us connect more deeply to what is happening inside.
Can imagining how healing unfolds actually support the body’s ability to heal?
Participants in this episode: Axel Bohlin and Per Johansson.

18. The Fascia Guide Live - How we understand things
This episode is a re-release of The Fascia Guide LIVE – a livestreamed conversation recorded on November 20, 2024.
In this episode, we dive into the foundations of knowledge and understanding – and how they shape the way we relate to fascia, the body, and life itself.
We explore the difference between theoretical knowledge and embodied understanding – the kind you find in a skilled chef who “just knows” without needing a recipe.
The conversation also touches on deeper principles that guide life, such as the idea that growth often comes with pain – a truth that applies to bodies, nature, and human development alike.
This episode invites reflection on how we learn, what we trust, and how fascia might help us reconnect with a more intuitive, grounded kind of knowing.
Participants in this episode: Axel Bohlin and Per Johansson.

17. The Fascia Guide Live - A conversation about Fascia = a conversation about everything
This episode is a re-release of The Fascia Guide LIVE – a livestreamed conversation where we open up a free-form format to explore what fascia really is, and why it matters.
Originally recorded on November 13, 2024, this conversation sets the tone for our ongoing journey: curious, open-minded, and grounded in both experience and emerging science.
We talk about the living body, the principles behind fascia, and how this connective tissue might be the key to understanding not only pain and movement, but also health and life itself.
The discussion also touches on how fascia receives and relieves pressure – and how our thoughts and emotions are deeply connected to our physical body.
Participants in this episode: Axel Bohlin and Per Johansson.

16. Deanna Hansen: Fascia decompression and the power to heal
The episode was first published on The Fascia Guide YouTube channel on February 5, 2025.
In this inspiring episode, we meet Deanna Hansen — founder of Block Therapy™ and a pioneer in the field of fascia decompression for physical and emotional transformation.
With more than 20 years of hands-on clinical experience, Deanna shares how releasing fascia tension can relieve chronic pain, restore alignment, improve circulation, and even reverse the effects of cellular aging.
Together with Axel and Hans, she explores the intimate link between breath, emotion, and tissue — revealing how stored trauma and stagnation in the body can be released through conscious connection and decompression.
An episode that bridges science and self-healing — offering a practical pathway toward freedom, flow, and vitality.
Participants in this episode: Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin, and Deanna Hansen.

15. Dr. Neil Theise on fascia, complexity, and the nature of consciousness
In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Neil Theise, a liver pathologist and fascia researcher, delves into the interconnectedness of fascia and consciousness. He reveals how fascia acts as a crucial interface within the body, facilitating energy flows and communication. Theise discusses the significance of fractal patterns, electromagnetic fields, and collective consciousness, challenging conventional medical perspectives. Joining him are hosts Axel and Hans, who explore the need for complementarity in understanding life’s complexity, urging a shift in how we view medicine and healing.

14. Dr. Gerald Pollack on the fourth phase of water – and its role in memory, energy, and cancer
The episode was first published on the Swedish podcast Fasciaguiden on June 4, 2025.
In this unique episode, we meet Professor Gerald Pollack — one of the world’s most influential researchers in water science. Together with Axel and Hans, we dive into the mysteries of structured water, the inner politics of science, and why groundbreaking ideas often meet resistance even when they redefine how we understand life.
Pollack shares his journey from studying muscle contraction to discovering exclusion zone water — a fourth phase of water that carries an electrical charge, responds to infrared light, and may be crucial for cell function, health, and even technological innovation. We discuss water’s role in memory, energy, cancer, and why young minds often see what established science overlooks.
An episode that challenges, inspires, and may forever change the way you see both the body and the future.

13. Dr. Thomas Levy: “All disease is caused by oxidative stress”
The episode was first published on the Swedish podcast Fasciaguiden on May 27, 2025.
What if every chronic disease actually stems from the same root cause — the loss of electrons?
In this eye-opening episode, we interview cardiologist and researcher Dr. Thomas Levy, who argues that oxidative stress is the common denominator behind all disease.
We talk about:
How oxidative stress affects the body’s ability to heal
Why vitamin C is the body’s most important molecule for restoring health
How to reduce the toxic load that weakens our immune system
The possibility of reactivating the body’s own vitamin C production
If Dr. Levy’s research is correct, it could change the way we understand health — and point toward a future where more people can heal themselves in entirely new ways.
🎧 Listen and gain a new understanding of energy, inflammation, and long-term health.
Participants in this episode: Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin, and Thomas Levy.

12. How seeing the living body changes everything we thought we knew – with Jean-Claude Guimberteau, MD
The episode was first published on the Swedish podcast Fasciaguiden on May 26, 2025.
In this episode, we meet the French surgeon Jean-Claude Guimberteau, who has spent more than 30 years filming the living body. What did he discover when he first realized that reality didn’t match what the textbooks described? And why do his discoveries have the potential to revolutionize our entire understanding of the human body?
Through Jean-Claude Guimberteau’s personal journey, we are taken into a fascinating world where cells move, threads connect, and colors pulse. It’s like watching a film in which the main character suddenly realizes that everything he’s learned is a simplification of a far more complex and living reality. What does it mean for us when we begin to understand that the body is not static but in constant transformation?
The interview gives us a unique perspective on how the living body’s reality differs from traditional anatomical models—and how this new understanding could change the way we think about health, disease, and healing. Is it time to let go of the old models and start seeing the body as it truly is?
Participants in this episode are Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin, and Jean-Claude Guimberteau.
