AG 2025 Ep 50 Living Anatomy , Fascia, & Human Form with John Sharkey

In this full-length episode of Anatomical Gangster, I sit down with Dr. Fawad Mian—neurologist, regenerative medicine specialist, and author of Getting to Pain Free. We dive deep into the future of pain care, exploring stem cell therapy, PRP, and other science-backed alternatives to surgery and medication.Dr. Mian shares his personal journey, his clinical framework, and the breakthroughs that are helping active adults reclaim mobility, independence, and confidence—without opioids or invasive procedures.🎧 Tune in for a transformative conversation about healing, resilience, and the regenerative revolution.#FawadMian #StemCellTherapy #PRP #RegenerativeMedicine #PainFreeLiving #AnatomicalGangster #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast

John Sharkey, clinical anatomist and educator, joins me at the Fascia Research Congress to explore fascia as a living, dynamic system. With decades of teaching and clinical practice, John brings clarity to the science of connective tissue and its role in health and performance. 🎧 A short but profound look at fascia as living anatomy. #JohnSharkey #ClinicalAnatomy #FasciaResearch #AnatomicalGangster #ConnectiveTissue #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast

In this episode, I talk with Miriam Wessels and Heike Oellerich of Faszio.com—educators dedicated to fascia-informed training and health. At the Fascia Research Congress, they share their vision for accessible fascia education and how movement can empower resilience. 🎧 Practical fascia wisdom from two leaders shaping the field. #Faszio #MiriamWessels #HeikeOellerich #FasciaResearch #AnatomicalGangster #MovementScience #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast

Eric Franklin, founder of the Franklin Method, joins me at the Fascia Research Congress to share his unique approach to movement education. With decades of experience blending imagery, anatomy, and fascia science, Eric offers a perspective that transforms how we move and feel. 🎧 A 10-minute masterclass in fascia-informed embodiment. #EricFranklin #FranklinMethod #FasciaResearch #EmbodiedMovement #AnatomicalGangster #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast

In this short-form episode recorded at the Fascia Research Congress, I sit down with Dr. Antonio Stecco—physician, researcher, and one of the leading voices in fascia science. Known for his groundbreaking anatomical mapping and clinical applications, Dr. Stecco shares insights into fascia’s role in health, movement, and pain. 🎧 Tune in for wisdom from one of the world’s top fascia educators. #AntonioStecco #FasciaResearch #AnatomicalGangster #ConnectiveTissue #MovementScience #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast

In this special 16-minute episode recorded live at the Fascia Research Congress, I spoke with Andrzej Pilat—renowned manual therapist, educator, and fascia pioneer. Known for his integrative approach that blends science, art, and clinical practice, Andrzej shares insights into the evolving field of fascia research and the profound connections he sees between tissue, movement, and human experience.This conversation is a glimpse into fascia as more than anatomy—it’s a living system of connection, creativity, and healing.🎧 Tune in for fascia wisdom from one of the field’s most respected voices.#AndrzejPilat #FasciaResearch #AnatomicalGangster #FRC2025 #ConnectiveTissue #ManualTherapy #MovementScience #EmbodiedHealing #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast #ShortPodcast

What if fascia research could unite the world?In this special 10-minute episode recorded live at the Fascia Research Congress, I spoke with Dr. Werner Klingler—renowned clinician, neurophysiologist, and co-founder of the Fascia Research Group in Ulm. We talk about FRECLS, his visionary initiative to connect fascia researchers across continents, cultures, and disciplines.Dr. Klingler shares why collaboration is the future of fascia science, how FRECLS mirrors the connective intelligence of fascia itself, and what it means to be a “freckle of the Earth” in a global research tapestry.🎧 Tune in for a powerful glimpse into fascia’s next frontier—and the people weaving it together.#FasciaResearch #FRECLS #WernerKlingler #AnatomicalGangster #FasciaWithoutBorders #ConnectiveTissue #GlobalScience #FasciaCongress #MovementScience #Neurophysiology #PainMedicine #ScientificCollaboration #ShortPodcast #SpotifyPodcasts #YouTubePodcast

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!
