Watch the FULL podcast here: https://youtu.be/HQepDqbCIyICould releasing tight fascia really shift mood and reduce anxiety? I’m exploring research and real‑world practice linking fascia tension with depression and stress, including a randomized controlled trial with a small sample (around 67 participants) that found people with depression had stiffer fascia in the neck and upper back, and that one session of self myofascial release reduced negative memory bias and improved mood.This clip explores how daily movement and gentle rotations may help ease tension, the idea that restricting the ribcage (including tight bras) can drive a stress response, and why working on the body can influence how we feel and think. I’m taking a closer look at a three‑part approach my guest suggests: addressing the body, emotions, and thoughts together rather than focusing on only one. You’ll also hear a simple seated rotation drill for the shoulder and upper back that can be done in a meeting to help unwind tension. As a nutritionist and health communicator, I’m interested in how evidence and practical tools meet, especially when it comes to mood, anxiety and day‑to‑day wellbeing.***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***Sign up to Sarah’s Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.
