Your fascia — that connective tissue wrapping every muscle, nerve, and organ — doesn’t just hold the body together, it also holds memory, tension, and unprocessed trauma. In this episode, Jess shares how years of disconnection and burnout eventually led her to discover fascia as both a map and a doorway back to health.

Through breath, movement, and intentional release, fascia can unlock stored emotions, rebalance the nervous system, and help us feel safe in our own skin again. This conversation is about reclaiming your body at its most fundamental level — and why healing the fascia is the key to healing everything else.

“Your fascia is the body’s memory bank. When you learn to release it — with breath, movement, and intention — you don’t just free the body, you free the emotions and energy that were trapped inside.”

In this episode, Darin exposes the toxic truth behind the billion-dollar anti-aging skincare industry. From mercury to PFOAs (the same chemical used in Teflon), many “miracle creams” and skin-lightening products marketed as beauty solutions are actually silently poisoning us.

Darin breaks down the science, the loopholes in FDA regulation, and the real dangers of what’s being absorbed through our skin — from hormone disruption to cancer and even risks to children. More importantly, he offers solutions: how to identify red flags, choose safe alternatives, and reclaim sovereignty over what you put on your body.
