Guest, Dr. Perry Nickelston shares his journey from chiropractic, to illness, to addressing the immune system to recover from autoimmunity via the lymphatic system. He looks beyond the musculoskeletal system into the whole body as a whole system. "No system in the body ever works alone. They never get injured alone. They never heal alone. There's no such thing as an isolated injury in the body. There's no such thing as isolated healing. It's all or nothing until lights out. What that means is everything matters. When it comes to healing recovery from pain and inflammation."

Dr. Perry also delves into the importance of tongue placement and its impact on the body. Additionally, he explores the glymphatic system and its connection to brain health. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the big six and addressing personal health concerns. Takeaways: Understanding the body's ecosystem and the interconnectedness of various systems is crucial for overall health. Drainage precedes supply, meaning that clearing waste and promoting fluid flow is essential before focusing on nutrition and supplements. Tongue placement at the roof of the mouth is important for proper posture, blood flow, and lymphatic flow. The glymphatic system plays a vital role in brain health, and its function is closely linked to the lymphatic system. Addressing personal health concerns requires focusing on the big six and understanding the underlying causes of inflammation.
