In this episode Dr. G discusses the lymphatic system's vital role in maintaining health and its impact on various bodily functions. The lymphatic system, crucial in naturopathic medicine, consists of lymphatic vessels, nodes, and associated organs that work together to support immune function, waste removal, and digestion. It operates without a central pump, relying on physical movement, such as walking and breathing, to facilitate lymph flow. Dr. G emphasizes the importance of hydration, proper nutrition, and techniques like lymphatic drainage massage in supporting lymphatic health and preventing congestion, while also addressing the system's role in cancer spread, allergies, and age-related changes.
