AG 2025 Ep 44 Breath, Fascia & the Coregous Connection: Jill Miller at the Fascia Congress

What if your breath was the missing link to fascia freedom?In this short-form episode recorded live at the Fascia Research Congress, spoke with my dear friend and colleague Jill Miller—creator of the Coregous Ball and a leading voice in breathwork, fascia, and embodied resilience. We talk about her presentation on the diaphragm, the power of breath as a fascial intervention, and the deeper insights she gathered from the congress.Jill shares how breath, pressure, and presence can unlock mobility, calm the nervous system, and restore core integrity. It’s fascia science with heart—and a reminder that healing starts from the inside out.🎧 Tune in for 10 minutes of fascia-informed brilliance from one of the most trusted voices in movement and recovery.#JillMiller #CoregousBall #FasciaResearch #AnatomicalGangster #DiaphragmWisdom #BreathworkScience #FasciaCongress #ConnectiveTissue #EmbodiedResilience #ShortPodcast #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast #MovementHealing #BreathIsMedicine

What if anatomy wasn’t just science—but soul work?In this short-form episode recorded live at the Fascia Research Congress, I spoke with Gil Hedley, PhD—creator of Integral Anatomy and founder of gildhedley.com. . We explore the profound insights he gathered at the congress, the evolving language of fascia, and how his work invites us to see the body as a living, breathing whole.Gil shares reflections on connection, embodiment, and the sacred layers of human form. This is more than an interview—it’s a moment of reverence for the miracle of tissue, time, and transformation.🎧 Tune in for 10 minutes of fascia-inspired wisdom that will shift how you see your body—and yourself.#GilHedley #IntegralAnatomy #FasciaResearch #AnatomicalGangster #FasciaPoetry #EmbodiedWisdom #FasciaCongress #ConnectiveTissue #BodyAsTemple #ShortPodcast #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast #MovementScience #LivingAnatomy

What is consciousness and where is it processed? We know that neuronal microtubules—those hollow tubes inside neurons—are central to intracellular transport, polarity, and possibly quantum coherence. Dr. Hameroff's Orch OR theory suggests they may host quantum processes that give rise to conscious moments.But here’s the twist: fibroblasts, the cells embedded in fascia and the extracellular matrix, also contain microtubules. These aren’t quantum processors in the Orch OR sense, but they’re deeply involved in mechanotransduction—how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, biochemical signaling that regulates microtubule polymerization, depolymerization, and interaction with motor proteins. And, while the ECM doesn't have microtubules, under a microscope, the collagen fibrils looks like microtubules - a mirror of one another to express connection and potentially quantum entanglement. Could fascia and ECM act as a resonant field, modulating the quantum spark of neuronal microtubules? Could consciousness be not just a brain-bound phenomenon, but a full-body experience—a symphony of coherence between structure and vibration?That’s the inquiry I’m bringing to you today by asking four pioneering educators about their idea of life, consciousness, and quantum processes still being discovered today. Joining in on this round table discussion is Dr. Stuart Hameroff, Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau, Dr. Carol M. Davis, and John Sharkey to talk about this topic and see if there's a link that we haven't considered about consciousness as a whole-body process. Enjoy!

Welcome to Anatomical Gangster, Season One. I’m your host, Sue Hitzmann—and this podcast is my love letter to the body, to consciousness, and to the connective tissue that holds it all together.For most of my life, I’ve been asking the big questions: Why are we here? What is life made of? How do we experience meaning, connection, and healing—not just in our minds, but in our bodies? To explore these questions, I’ve turned to science, spirituality, movement, and the mysterious matrix we call fascia.This podcast is for the seekers, the disruptors, the ones who break things down to understand the whole. “Anatomical” means to cut up, to examine the parts. “Gangster” is a nod to those who go against the grain—not to destroy, but to awaken. Together, they form a lens through which we can explore the body, the self, and the universe.In Season One, I sit down with 11 of the most influential living thinkers who’ve shaped my understanding of fascia, consciousness, and the human experience. These are raw, real conversations about life, loss, purpose, and the connective system that links us all.🎧 Tune in to hear how the death of my husband, the isolation of the pandemic, and the wisdom of my teachers gave birth to this podcast—and why I believe fascia is more than tissue. It’s a metaphor. A mirror. A medium for awakening.#AnatomicalGangster #SueHitzmann #FasciaAndConsciousness #MELTMethod #ConnectiveTissue #PodcastLaunch #EmbodiedWisdom #SpiritualAnatomy #WellnessPhilosophy #SeasonOne
