The journey of midlife often means navigating new aches, unexplained fatigue, and questions about how our bodies are really aging. What if the way we feel,from pain to anxiety to energy, has less to do with "getting older" and more to do with what's happening deep in our cells and connective tissues? This episode brings practical clarity to a confusing topic: fascia, block therapy, and how decompressing our bodies from the inside out could shift the way we age.
Journalist and host Natalie Tysdal welcomes expert Deanna Hansen, founder of block therapy and educator on cellular aging and detoxification. Deanna's grounded insights help demystify fascia, the tissue that connects every cell, and why its health matters more than we realize. If you've ever wondered about lingering pain, stiffness, or why common wellness advice sometimes falls flat, this conversation brings new options and hope. From her decades of clinical experience and personal transformation, Deanna shares gentle, realistic ways women can care for their bodies at any age—no fitness fads required.
What you'll learn:
• Why fascia health is crucial for pain, aging, inflammation, and overall wellbeing in women over 40
• The true difference between surface treatments (like massage, exercise) and deep fascia decompression
• How breathwork and small daily practices influence detox, energy, and even weight loss
• Simple, at-home techniques using a block, towel, or even your hands and feet to support fascia health (including travel) friendly options
• How midlife women can start realistic self-care using Deanna's free resources, without needing a specialist or advanced tools
For women in midlife, clarity is power. Understanding fascia and cellular decompression doesn't require hype or complicated routines. Instead, it provides tangible steps for feeling better, staying mobile, and aging with more comfort, not just managing symptoms, but changing the story of your health. This episode honors your intelligence and gives you grounded tools rooted in real science and lived experience.
