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.

07. What is flow
Fascia as a flow is a new way of understanding the body and explaining the body’s function.
All that lives has a flow. Each living cell or organism has a flow of water, energies, particles, molecules, light, sound, vibrations, etc.
Each living cell has a metabolism which requires a flow into the cell, a flow within the cell and a flow out of the cell. This applies to unicellular as well as multicellular organisms, animals, plants, fungi, protists or bacteria.
Flow is essential, it is life - and somehow, flow is also something we find terribly hard to understand.
The Fascia Guide is a podcast about the living body, about new research and a new perspective on health, pain and what it means to be alive. In this episode you will hear Hans Bohlin, innovator and fascia expert, Per Johansson, doctor of human ecology and historian of science and ideas, and Axel Bohlin, founder & editor of The Fascia Guide.

06. Why is it so hard for Fascia to become mainstream?
What happens when you discover something that makes you rethink everything you knew? Fascia research forces as to look at the whole and not just the parts, and in some ways we need to start from scratch. That in itself is challenging, but it is even worse when videos of the living body like "Strolling under the skin" shows how an organized chaos.
Is there a place for fascia in a culture obsessed with order and control?

05. Why are we thinking about the body the way we do?
A living body is not the same thing as a dead body… but we pretend they are when we study anatomy.
Our entire understanding of the body is based on studies of dead bodies, dissected bodies, and bodies treated as objects.
But is your body really an object? Is the body something you have or is it in fact something you are?
Why are we thinking like this - and have we always been thinking like this?

The Fascia Guide: About the living body, new research & a new perspective on health & what it means to be alive
The Fascia Guide is a podcast about the living body, about new research and a new perspective on health, pain and what it means to be alive.
There is an ongoing global revolution in the anatomical research field, profoundly changing the way we look at the human body.
The reason? Fascia, a network of connective tissue with no beginning and no end, encapsulating everything in the body, from muscles and skeleton, to organs and cells.
While until recently considered unimportant, Fascia is since 2017 acknowledged as the biggest organ in the body and Fascia research has sparked a wildfire of new insights that are challenging conventional belief about how the body works.
The purpose of The Fascia Guide is 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 difference in terms of lifestyle and well-being
