You drag through the afternoon. You've told yourself this is just what getting older feels like. It's not. In this episode, Diana Devi \u2014 clinical pharmacist of 40 years and Argentine tango teacher \u2014 introduces fascia: the continuous connective tissue system that wraps every bone, muscle, nerve, and organ in your body. When it's healthy, everything glides. When it's stuck, everything costs more. Including your energy, your focus, and your ability to get through an ordinary Tuesday. Most people have never heard of fascia. Neither have most doctors. That's exactly why Diana is talking about it.   In this episode you'll learn: - What fascia actually is, and why your body is one continuous system \u2014 not a collection of parts - How estrogen decline directly changes your connective tissue, and why that's behind your stiffness - Why your knee pain might actually be coming from your hip (and why you've been treating the wrong address) - How stiff fascia becomes an energy problem, not just a mobility problem - Three simple things that move it \u2014 starting with five minutes a day   Diana shares a client story that shows exactly what changes when you stop managing symptoms and start addressing the tissue. Then she gives you one thing to do the moment the episode ends.   This is Part One of the Running on Full series. Next episode: the real story on cortisol \u2014 not the villain version.   Diana Devi is the host of the Midlife Reset podcast, founder of An Ageless Life, and a clinical pharmacist of 40 years. She teaches women to understand what their body is actually telling them \u2014 and what to do about it.
