Feeling puffy, tired, or stuck at the same weight even when you’re “doing everything right”? Your lymphatic system might be the missing link. In this episode of Metabolic Freedom, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Caitlin, a leading voice on lymph health and detox, to unpack how this under-talked-about system affects fat loss, energy, and hormones. You’ll hear the five sneaky habits that clog your lymph (most of us do at least two), plus simple daily fixes—movement snacks, real hydration, better sleep, and diaphragmatic breathing—to turn your body’s drainage back on and feel lighter, clearer, and more energized. What you’ll learn: The “circulatory system no one talks about” and why fat loss stalls when lymph slows. 5 habits that jam drainage: long sitting, shallow chest breathing, skimping on water/electrolytes, poor sleep, and chronic stress. How diaphragmatic (belly) breathing acts like a pump for lymph—try it in 60 seconds. A hydration reset that actually moves fluid (hint: water + minerals, not endless refills). How lymph influences hormone balance and fat absorption, and what to do about it today. Quick wins (do-them-today) Move every hour: 1–2 min of walking, calf raises, or rebounding. Belly-breath box: 4–4–6–2 (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6, pause 2) for 5 cycles, 2–3x/day. Mineralize your water: add a pinch of quality electrolytes to 2–3 glasses. Sleep upgrade: defend a 7–9 hr window; dim screens 60–90 min before bed. 🔗 Links and Resources: Drainage Checklist: https://doctalksdetox.aweb.page/p/825ac357-1867-48bd-a01c-87d908df43a9 🎤 Meet Me On Tour: I’d love to connect in person!
