Lauren Roxburgh is a best-selling author, wellness educator, and speaker. Lauren is a go-to writer and expert on all things fascia, alignment, the mind-body connection, and movement medicine, and regularly works with Hollywood's A-List along with some of the greatest athletes and surgeons on the planet. Her new book is called The Power Source: The Hidden Key to Ignite Your Core, Empower Your Body, Release Stress, and Realign Your Life.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How your body can become more receptive to the changes required to thrive even if it’s been stubbornly resistant to them—and merely surviving—for years.

  • How to loosen up and support your fascia, which is connective tissue beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, and closes and separates muscles and other internal organs.

  • How to strengthen up your pelvic floor muscles, which are crucial to both preventing lower back pain and helping your sexual function.

  • How to practice stress hygiene so you aren't living in a state of high alert all the time.

  • The simple tools you can use to support your posture, whether you work a desk job, drive a cab, or sit at home on your couch watching Seinfeld reruns all day.

  • And much more!
