Can rubbing your jawline, wiggling your ears, or laughing out loud really change your health? According to lymphatic specialist Leah Levitan; yes. And she’s here to show you how simple, playful practices can transform how your body feels and heals.

In part two, Leah gets practical. She walks Celest through her Five Face Framework; a simple daily routine that boosts lymph drainage and supports the brain’s “glymphatic” system.

You’ll learn how to combine it with the popular Dr Perry Nickelston Big Six sequence, why dry brushing and tapping are more than just wellness trends, and how to spot the difference between helpful detox and hype.

The conversation also tackles the psychology of swelling, myths around detoxification, and why tools aren’t always necessary when your hands are your most powerful instrument. Leah explains how to listen when your body “talks back,” why laughter is lymph medicine, and how redefining self-care as weird but powerful body-based rituals can change everything.

In this episode:

The Five Face Framework for clearing brain fog and supporting glymphatics

Why hydration and minerals are essential for fluid balance

The truth about detox: what the lymph can do, and what it can’t

The role of Qigong, yoga, and gentle movement in cultivating flow

Whether you’re a yoga teacher, a curious mover, or someone looking to feel lighter and more energised, this episode offers tangible practices and a refreshing perspective on self-care and healing.
