0:00 - 2:45 - Intro
- We are talking about real, intracellular hydration today
- Vinh Giang shout-out
- What this episode is going to be all about; lots of resources today.
2:46 - 5:14 - The overarching theme of today
- Niek has coined the process of Intracellular hydration “Tube Transfer”
- What is Intracellular Hydration?
- If You are not hydrated —> You are most likely going to be chroniclly dehydrated in a specific region of Your body —> leads to disease.
- Key Principle Cells need to be hydrated for Full-Body Hydration.
- Niek describing Tube Transfer: GI Tract; Vasculature; Fascia; Cell.
5:15 - 6:23 - The Last phase of Tube Transfer and why we’re skipping it
- Today we will look at the first 3 phases of Tube Transfer.
- Water from Fascia —> Cell = Highly complex
- Impact of Hyaluronon.
- Body is self-organizing; if we can load the front-end with strategic input we can assist the systems that return us to Evolutionary Baseline.
6:24 - 13:17 - The First Phase of Tube Transfer
- What optimizes the first phase of Tube Transfer.
- Practical Takeaway 1: Get structured water, anecdotally backed + plausible reasons
- Niek’s experience with structured water vs. RO water
- Stay away from most Tap Water
- Steak vs. Hot Dog Analogy for Tap Water
- Niek’s story about Mexican Well Water mixed with rinsed Bleach
- If You only have tap water; prioritize fresh veggies.
- When Niek was running a garden 90% of his water came from the veggies he ate during the day.
- What veggies You want to pick.
- The difference of water quality between Fruits & Veggies, where Deuterium is stacked.
13:18 - 17:56 - Getting more invested into the process.
- Biohacking Route: Handheld vortexers to create structured water; pour water through it to get structured water.
- Au Naturel Route: Find a Spring, optimize Your gut, drink from clean springs, expose water to Infrared Light.
- Summarizing optimizing the First Phase of Tube Transfer
17:57 - 21:33 - The Second Phase of Tube Transfer and the importance of Minerals
- How vasculature translates into the metaphor of “Tubes”
- Mineral content holds water in Your blood.
- Mineral intake can be acheived by eating a variety in the diet where food comes from Mineral-rich soils.
- Foods that come from Permaculture, Regenerative Agriculture, Grow Your own Food or know what Your local farmer does to take care of their soil.
- Or get Your Minerals from a good-quality salt.
- Robert Slovak back story
- Your Blood plasma should be an exact mirror image of marine plasma, content and ratio.
- Marine Plasma ratio = Blood Plasma Ratio
- Too much water with too little salt leads to Hyponeutremia and Dehydration.
21:34 - 24:47 - How to biohack mineral status.
- Quinton Hypertonic or Isotonic
- Get a good quality salt; Colima Sea Salt, Hawaiian Deep Sea Salt, Saltverk, Nordura Salt; Redmonds Real Salt
- Celtic Sea Salt is a good bare minimum.
- How to test for salt that is bleached or is filled with anti-cooking agents.
- Salt should be grey, chunky, coarse and moist.
- When drinking from streams, include areas of gravel & sand filtered and where the water is aerated; couple with optimized gut to prevent sickness.
24:48 - 27:11 - The Third Phase of Tube Transfer
- The Interstitium = the Fascia.
- How does water get into the Interstitium; it follows a pressure gradient.
- How to find dehydrated tissue.
- Collagen fiber “tubing” carries water droplets + water being found in the Ground Substance.
27:12 - 32:36 - How to use MFR to help facilitate water transfer down the pressure gradient
- Pressure from the outside-In; lacrosse Ball, Broom stick, Med-Ball etc.
- Quick Review of how Outside-In MFR works
- Rules of thumb for Outside-In MFR; know which direction to roll or don’t move; shear Your Fascia; 1:2 Inhale:Exhale; Don’t hold Your Breath at the Top; Use Your vision actively.
32:37 - 34:32 - Outside-In MFR Resources
- Kelly Starett, The Ready State torture tools
- Functional Patterms, some MFR tools
- Chris Kidawski, Pso-rite and Pain Bibles for trigger Points
- The Ready State, Certification Course, App, Youtube Channel, Instagram Handle
- The Intimate Rose, for the Pelvic Bowl
34:33 - 39:26 - Inside-Out MFR
- Use Your Respiratory System combined with false restrictions to move fluid and “pop” adhesions
- Using Breath and position to alter pressure dynamics in the Body
- Combine Kelly Starrett’s distraction techniques with Breath for Inside-Out MFR
- Use Bob Cooley’s Resistant Stretching techniques; how the technique works
39:27 - 41:39 - Quantifying hydration of Your Fascia (Third Phase of Tube Transfer)
- It becomes less apparent if we’re hydrating the tissue the further we get down Tube Trnsfer
- Test-Re-test
- What impact MFR has on Fibroblasts; long-term change that helps facilitate fascial hydration
41:40 - 43:11 - Summary and Close-Out + Bonus
