Get back to the basics.

1. Consuming real, whole foods packed with nutrients is the foundation of health. Avoid processed food & seed oils. Nutrient-dense animal foods provide essential raw materials, your body needs for optimal function. You need to eat meat to thrive.
2. Exposure to sunlight is essential for vitamin D production, which is crucial for bone health, immunity, & mood regulation. Sunlight helps regulate sleep patterns, improve your skin, & reduces risk of certain cancers. Limit exposure to LED and blue light after the sun sets.
3. Grounding, or earthing, is linked to reduced inflammation and stress levels. Our ancestors slept on the ground, walked barefoot, & were connected to the earth daily. We are disconnected in our modern world. By putting your feet in the dirt, grass, or sand, you release “bad” ions & receive good ones.
4. Quality sleep is one of the body’s greatest healing mechanisms. Prioritizing a consistent sleep schedule & creating a sleep-conducive environment is critical to your health.
5. Regular physical activity improves muscle and bone strength, increases longevity, reduces the risk of chronic diseases and boosts mood, & reduces strain in your fascia. For our favorite lifestyle movement method see www.soma-holistics.com/foundation-training.
6. Minimize exposure to environmental toxins, such as junk in personal care and cleaning products. Be aware of hidden exposures like mold in homes or outdoor sources like pesticides/herbicides.
7. Chronic stress has a detrimental impact on your health. Simplify your life and commitments; don’t run yourself ragged. Seek out a professional for emotional healing if needed. Look into therapies like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, & NET.
8. Clean, filtered water with essential minerals is vital for hydration and overall health. Filtering removes contaminants & impurities, ensuring you’re not consuming harmful substances.

Newsflash friend, that didn’t happen in your sleep last night. It’s tightness and restriction in your fascia. Your body has been carrrying around that tension you notice right now, for weeks months, or even YEARS.

The body is incredible at adapting and coping with the fascial tension to a certain extent; until one day… it isn’t!

We’ve got to tell you, it’s not only because you are over 30 (or any certain age). Those “adult injuries” everyone jokes about are really not funny when you understand the real root of the issue. You do not need to accept it as normal. It can be reversed, healed and prevented moving forward.

If you’re struggling with pain in your neck or our upcoming online course is for you. Until that releases, we have a whole free resource filled with ways you can support your body at home. First, BE SURE TO FOLLOW US… then comment LAUNCH for a link to our free resource. This will also sign you up for an exclusive discount on our course when it’s ready!!

Looking for an in-person care for fascial release? Head to our story highlight called “find a provider” for details on locating someone near you. We can’t send a link for this, you’ll have to dig it up on our profile.

Simple tools ↓

Cortisol is the body’s primary stress hormone, released by the adrenal glands in response to signals from the autonomic nervous system.

Its main functions include regulating metabolism, controlling inflammation, and mobilizing energy by raising blood sugar and increasing alertness. Chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system keeps cortisol levels high, which disrupts parasympathetic balance, slows down tissue repair, and leads to fascia stiffness, pain, and systemic inflammation over time.

Elevated cortisol levels are a hallmark of prolonged sympathetic nervous system activation—the body’s “fight or flight” response. When this state becomes chronic, it suppresses the parasympathetic branch, particularly the vagus nerve, which is responsible for regulating rest, digestion, and repair. This imbalance keeps the body in a loop of tension, inflammation, and poor tissue recovery. Supporting your vagus nerve helps shift the body back into a healing state, reducing cortisol levels and allowing fascia and connective tissues to regenerate more effectively.

Check out our story highlight called “vagus” for several key releases you can do at home. Also comment LAUNCH if like an exclusive discount on our upcoming course when it’s completed. We will have an entire section on supporting the vagus!

TiPS & IDEAS↓

Comment LAUNCH to get added to our email list for an exclusive discount when our course releases and we will send you our free guide called “how to care for your fascia”.

1. Ask holistic providers in your area. Check with chiropractors, midwives, lactation professionals, holistic dentists. Describe what you are looking for…a person who treats systematic (whole body) fascial strain.

2. Search keywords. (But don’t get hung up here) Search: fascial bodywork, fascial release, myofascial release, fascial unwinding, craniosacral therapy (when paired with systemic fascial release)

We don’t believe there is “one therapy to rule them all” you’re looking for the right provider for YOU not a certain modality. Truth is, two people can train in the exact same therapies, take the same courses & have COMPLETELY different ways of treating.

3. Be prepared to travel. A good provider could mean driving or even making a special trip for therapy over the course of a few days. We have had families travel from ALL over to see us for 3-5 days. This can be a great way to jumpstart a stalled healing process too! When we were first looking for a fascial provider for our child, we drove 6 hrs round trip for appointments. There was no one closer and we lived in a BIG city!

4. When you find someone, INTERVIEW! Questions you might ask: How long are appointments? What type of license or certifications do you hold? What types of trainings have you completed? How long have you been in practice? Do you incorporate any spiritual practices into the work? What does therapy look like? What ages do you typically work with? How often and for how long do you recommend care?
