In Part 2 of this powerful solo episode, Celest takes us deeper into the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system and why it matters so much for your health.

You’ll learn:

How fluid flows between blood vessels, interstitial space and lymph
The difference between hydrostatic and osmotic pressure
The essential roles of lymph: transport, detox, immune defence and fluid regulation
Why movement is non-negotiable for lymphatic flow (and what happens when we stop moving)
A breakdown of key lymph node regions (including the ‘Big 6’)
The critical drainage point at the collarbones and why 75% of lymph drains into the left side
A personal story involving lymphatics, a mystery swelling and how simple self-care made a massive difference

Celest wraps with a rallying call to include lymphatic care as part of any healing strategy alongside holistic support and nutrition.
