Gut Feelings
<p>In this episode, Jack and Marce explore how your posture, compression, and chronic stress affect your gut and digestion — and what you can do about it. They dive into how spending all day in a flexed, hunched position can create congestion in the abdomen, disrupt motility, and even contribute to fertility and hormonal issues.</p><p>Marce breaks down abdominal massage techniques, the science behind scar tissue, and why surgery (even “routine” ones like C-sections) can create lifelong fascial tension if not addressed. Jack shares his personal journey with SSRIs and gut–brain regulation, and Marce reveals her secret side gig as a “poop massage therapist” legend of festival fame.</p><p>They also cover practical ways to restore flow — from ball rolling and Zabludowski kneading to castor oil packs and the humble grated carrot. By the end, you’ll understand how digestion, posture, stress, and scar tissue all connect, and why giving your organs space might be one of the healthiest things you can do.</p><p><strong>Related Videos:</strong><br>- <a href="https://youtu.be/BkaMMFTra4U">Marce's Zabladowski Abdominal Massage</a></p><p><strong>Links & Products Mentioned</strong><br>- <a href="https://amzn.to/3Jx8EWA">Castor Oil Pack</a><br>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfREj6beS7A">Solfeggio Frequencies</a><br>- <a href="https://amzn.to/48MGpNV">Slippery Elm</a></p>

Doritos Are Not Rocket Fuel
<p><strong>In this episode of Recovery Mode, Jack and Marce get practical — talking diet, detox, lymphatic flow, and what’s actually clogging your system (hint: it’s not just your inbox).<br></strong><br></p><p>They dig into how food choices, inflammation, and everyday habits impact everything from gut health to neck pain — and why your colon might secretly be sabotaging your prostate. You’ll learn why “whole foods” actually means whole human, how to spot the difference between real hunger and stress-snacking, and what happens when you eat like your great-grandparents versus your cereal box.</p><p>From there, Marce walks through the basics of <strong>myofascial release</strong> and <strong>lymphatic drainage</strong> — including why it’s not supposed to hurt, how to roll properly, and the gentle tapping method that can clear your sinuses and brain fog.</p><p>Plus, a quick mailbag question: “How do I find someone like Marce near me?” (Spoiler: look for <strong>Structural Energetic Therapy</strong>, <strong>Functional Patterns</strong>, or <strong>Barnes-style myofascial release</strong> practitioners.)</p><p><br><strong>Highlights:</strong></p><ul><li>The real meaning behind “Recovery Mode”</li><li>Why diet is step one in reducing pain and inflammation</li><li>Caloric intake, hidden snacking, and the “Daddy Tax”</li><li>How modern food and toxins overwhelm your natural detox systems</li><li>A gentle intro to myofascial releases (and why “foam rolling” is misnamed/misunderstood)</li><li>Lymphatic tapping for drainage and brain clarity</li><li>Finding trustworthy practitioners near you</li></ul><p><strong>Related Videos:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://youtu.be/mzEb2mjKIIw">Marce's Seated Posture</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/N0VHtVpVx-Y">Marce's Seated Extensions</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/U-vA3cv8q6I">Marce's Lymphatic Drainage</a></li><li><a href="https://youtu.be/XE8WJ4ve7Iw">Hiatal Valve Release</a></li></ul><p><strong>Other Links & Products Mentioned:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3WDd4hu">Weighted Medicine Ball</a> for Myofascial Release work</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/46U3zAI">Lacrosse Balls</a> for Myofascial Release work</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/4hukiOJ">Practice softballs</a> for Myofascial Release work</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/4n4UgT9">Velveteen dry brush</a> for lymphatic drainage</li><li>Macros/calorie tracking apps: <a href="https://www.myfitnesspal.com/">MyFitnessPal</a>, <a href="https://cronometer.com/">Chronometer</a>, <a href="https://macrofactorapp.com/">Macrofactor</a></li><li><a href="https://functionalpatterns.com/pages/find-a-practitioner">Functional Patterns Practitioner Directory</a></li><li><a href="https://functionalpatterns.com/pages/find-a-facility-old">Functional Patterns Facilities</a></li><li><a href="https://mfrtherapists.com/search">Barnes Myofascial MFR Therapist Directory</a></li><li><a href="https://recoverymode.fm">Our website</a></li></ul>

Where Do You Even Start Fixing Your Body?
<p>Most of us try to fix pain by stretching, rolling, or strapping ourselves into devices. But what if the real solution starts with simply watching how you move? After all, we are made out of non-Newtonian goo. And meat.</p><p>In this episode, Jack and Marce dig into:</p><p>- Why observation is step one in recovery (mirrors, cameras, and curiosity)<br>- How subconscious patterns fight against “just have better posture” advice<br>- The dangers of posture braces and over-stretching<br>- Understanding fascia as a non-Newtonian fluid (and why that matters)<br>- Common pain/pattern pairs (like pecs causing shoulder pain)<br>- Why the spot that hurts is rarely the real problem<br>- Strategies to start unwinding your body’s “cast”</p><p>This conversation is part science, part storytelling, and part “why did no one ever teach us this?”</p><p>## Links & Products Mentioned:</p><p>- [Lacross Ball](https://amzn.to/4mJYAqK) (if you're gonna buy one thing, this is that thing)<br>- [Thera Cane](https://amzn.to/4mEDXw8)<br>- [Non-Newtonian Fluids](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kETf9bGP1us)<br>- [Functional Patterns](https://functionalpatterns.com)<br>- [John Barnes](https://www.myofascialrelease.com/)</p>
