Fascia is the body’s electrical, sensory, connective matrix.
It records every experience.
When trauma occurs, fascia contracts instantly to protect you.
But if the system never receives a signal that the threat has passed, it never fully releases.
This creates:
• chronic muscle tension
• migraines
• jaw tightness
• pelvic floor issues
• restricted lymphatic flow
• decreased blood oxygenation
• decreased nerve conduction
• posture changes that reinforce emotional states
Fascia is the body’s “emotional scar tissue.”
Talking does not unwind it — movement and safety do.

During survival, digestion becomes non-essential.
The body diverts all energy toward escape or defense.
This leads to:
• low stomach acid
• slowed peristalsis
• SIBO
• constipation or diarrhea
• IBS
• bloating
• poor nutrient absorption
The vagus nerve — your “rest-and-digest” system — goes offline during trauma.
You cannot digest food when you cannot digest life.
