Lymphatic Health 101 with Jennifer Nelson-Hawks

Lymphatic Health 101 with Jennifer Nelson-Hawks

Author: Leanne Vogel September 16, 2025 Duration: 42:28

This episode is for every woman who's ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or more confused than when she went in. Jennifer Nelson-Hawks joins me to unpack:

 

* How your lymphatic system is like your body's sewer system (and how to actually get it flowing)



* The truth about hydration and why just drinking water isn't enough

* Gut health: why it's called your second brain and what it's really trying to tell you

* How to know when your doctor isn't really on your side, and how to get honest answers

 

This isn't about giving you another to-do list. It's about learning how to trust your body, ask better questions, and finally feel like you're in the driver's seat of your health again.
