89. How is Fascia affected by ovulation, movement and exercise?

Did you know that the female body rebuilds itself twice a month? Carla Stecco, professor of anatomy, presented two major discoveries at the Fascia Research Congress 2018. The first was the discovery of a completely new cell, the Fasciacyte, central to how we move and stay flexible, and the second was that the collagen structure found around every cell in the body is affected by estrogen and other sex hormones. What do these discoveries mean for women's health? Should you adapt the way you train according to your menstrual cycle – and what can we learn in general about hormones, Fascia, and mobility from Stecco's discoveries? Participants in this episode are Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin and Camilla Ranje Nordin.
