Returning to Radiance: CSF, Claustrum & The Authentic Soul Elixir

Something powerful is happening in our collective body. There’s a deeper call to align our physical form with our energetic truth. That alignment often starts in the most unexpected places, like a thin sliver of grey matter deep inside your brain.

Let me introduce you to the Claustrum.

The Claustrum: Bridge Between Body and Consciousness

The Claustrum is one of the most overlooked but fascinating parts of the brain. It's a paper-thin structure nestled between the insular cortex and the putamen, but it’s believed to play a major role in how we experience consciousness itself.

Emerging science and spiritual teachings alike point to it as a sort of neural conductor, orchestrating messages between brain regions, helping regulate sensory input, emotional response and conscious awareness. Think of it as the subtle thread weaving your thoughts, emotions and senses into a unified you.

This is where it gets even more interesting…

The Nervous System Link: Enter the CSF

Surrounding the Claustrum, brainstem and spinal cord is a river of light - Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF).
Far more than a cushioning fluid, CSF is responsible for electrical communication, detoxification and inner illumination.

It pulses rhythmically up and down the spine, bathing the brain and connecting key structures like:

• The pineal gland (intuition, inner vision)

• The pituitary (hormonal harmony)

• The hypothalamus (master regulator of nervous system and hormones)

• And of course, the Claustrum, acting as the conductor of this inner orchestra

When the CSF is flowing freely, we feel energised, emotionally balanced, intuitive and clear.
When it’s sluggish, due to trauma, toxicity or stagnation - it’s like static in the system. Brain fog, fatigue and emotional overwhelm often follow.

Can We Improve This Flow?

Absolutely.

The CSF, like your lymph or liver, is deeply influenced by breath, hydration, movement, mineral balance and vibrational healing.

Here are a few key ways to support it:

• Gentle spinal movement and breathwork

• Craniosacral therapy or intuitive touch

• Meditation focused on pineal and hypothalamus alignment

• Sound and frequency healing (e.g. Solfeggio tones)

• Structured hydration like Salt Sole

• Emotional release practices and vibrational remedies

Which brings me to something I created last year that now, more than ever, feels ready to return.

✨ A Personal Moment of Clarity ✨

During the holiday season, I found myself drawn back to a remedy I had made and used quietly, my Authentic Soul Elixir.

Just a few drops in a quiet moment... and something shifted.
There was a centring, a calm, a re-alignment of something deep within. Like my inner compass had switched back on.

It was from that space that I made some small but powerful decisions. Nothing huge or dramatic. Just aligned. Clear. Truthful.

It reminded me why I created it in the first place.

So What Is the Authentic Soul Elixir?

This isn’t just a remedy. It’s a bridge. Between the nervous system and the soul. Between the energetic and the physical. Between your body and the blueprint you came in with.

It contains vibrational essences of:

• Gold – for pineal support, electrical circuitry, and divine masculine alignment

• Silver – for pituitary and magnetic balancing, divine feminine support

• Salt Sole – made under the full moon to hold and anchor frequencies

• Amanita Muscaria essence – to dissolve ego patterns and reconnect lost energy

• Quartz – for clarity and light amplification

• Black Obsidian – for protection and deep grounding

Together they create a recalibration, not just a remedy.
Not to fix you. But to help you remember you.

What About Drop Weight Drops? Can They Be Used Together?

Great question, and one my clients who purchased the origianal batch last year.

Many of you are already using the Drop Weight Drops and have experienced:

• Clarity

• Emotional release

• Better sleep

• Heightened awareness

These results aren’t just physical. They show up in the nervous system and spiritual field too.
Because when density (emotional or physical) is released, CSF flow improves.

The Drops support drainage pathways like liver, kidneys and lymph - which ultimately influences the glymphatic system in the brain and therefore your CSF rhythm.

Yes, they can be taken together.
In fact, they may enhance each other, especially when taken with intention and reflection.

The Rise of Gold and Silver: A Sign of the Times

Another observation that can’t go unspoken - when I first created the Elixir, silver was around $54 an ounce. Now? Over $160.
Gold too has jumped dramatically.

People are sensing the worth of these elements. Not just financially, but spiritually.
They are becoming aware of what gold and silver do - not just in markets, but in us.

I have to ask this question, Is it becoming more finacially valuable because people are feeling it energetically?

After all they are conductors of energy. Of remembrance. Of light.

Practical Daily Tools to Support CSF Flow and Soul Connection

✨ Take Authentic Soul Elixir daily with intention and mirror work
✨ Drink Salt Sole first thing to charge and hydrate your system
✨ Practise spinal breathwork or craniosacral-inspired movement
✨ Use Drop Weight Drops to clear emotional and physical density
✨ Meditate with focus on the pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus
✨ Rest, reset and receive
✨ Remember how powerful and amazing you are

Final Thoughts

This is more than a re-release.
It’s a recalibration
A return
A remembering

The Authentic Soul Elixir is a tool for these times
For those who are ready to bridge the physical and the divine
To tune their nervous system to the song of their soul
To become truly radiant, coherent and free

You don’t need to do more
You just need to let it flow

Why New Year’s resolutions rarely last (and what actually works)

As the year draws to a close, many people are already thinking about New Year’s resolutions.

Eat better.
Lose weight.
Exercise more.
Finally “get it right”.

Yet, statistics consistently show that most resolutions are abandoned within weeks, sometimes days.

This isn’t because people are weak or unmotivated.
It’s because resolutions are often built on the wrong foundation.

Pressure Is Not Sustainable

Most resolutions are created from a place of frustration:
“I’m sick of this.”
“I need to fix myself.”
“I’ve failed again.”

That energy might fuel a strong start, but it doesn’t last.
The nervous system reads pressure as threat.
And when the body feels threatened, it protects itself.

That protection often looks like:

• Cravings

• Fatigue

• Inflammation

• Resistance

• Self-sabotage

This isn’t because something is wrong with you.
But because the system is trying to keep you safe.

Where Self-Love Fits In

Self-love is often misunderstood.

It’s not about indulgence or letting things slide.
It’s about respect.

Self-love sounds like:

• Listening instead of overriding

• Supporting instead of punishing

• Choosing consistency over extremes

• Adjusting rather than quitting

When self-love is present, habits don’t feel like a battle.
They feel like care.

Why Health Changes Stick When Self-Love Leads

When you approach health from self-respect:

• The nervous system stays calmer

• Hormones respond more predictably

• Digestion improves

• Weight becomes easier to release

• Consistency replaces cycles of all-or-nothing

This is why so many people feel relief when they stop fighting themselves.

A Different Way Forward

The new year doesn’t need another set of rules.
It needs a new relationship with yourself.

One built on trust.
On patience.
On understanding how the body actually works.

This is a skill.
Not something we’re ever taught.

I’ve been thinking about running an online workshop around self-love.
Not the fluffy kind, but the practical, grounded kind that actually supports health and long-term change.

If that’s something you’d be interested in, let me know in the comments or send me a message.
I’d love to hear.

When Pain Isn’t Just Physical

Understanding Feedback Loops, Energy and the Missing Piece in Healing

a protective blanket

I want to share a story that perfectly illustrates something I see again and again in my work.

It’s about pain.
But not the kind most people think.

This is Leslie’s story.

Leslie’s Aha Moment

Leslie is a beautiful soul.
She’s sensitive, intuitive and deeply aware of energy, even though she wouldn’t call herself a healer.

What she is, is someone who feels.
Other people’s emotions.
Their stress.
Their unspoken pain.

For years, Leslie experienced pain in her body that would come and go.
It didn’t follow a neat pattern.
There was no clear injury or obvious trigger.

Until one conversation changed everything.

As we talked, I asked her a simple question
“When do you notice the pain is at its worst?”

She paused.

Then it clicked.

The pain would flare after she had been around people.

Not during.
After.

That was her aha moment.

She suddenly realised that her system was wide open.
She was absorbing what wasn’t hers, carrying it and holding it in her body.

Her pain wasn’t a failure.
It was communication.

The Hidden Feedback Loop

This is where feedback loops come in.

A negative feedback loop often looks like this:

• Feeling pain or symptoms
• Pushing through
• Ignoring your own needs
• Criticising yourself for not coping better
• Creating more stress in the nervous system

The body hears that as threat.

When the nervous system is under threat, symptoms escalate.

A positive feedback loop, on the other hand, sounds very different:

• Noticing what’s happening
• Offering support instead of judgement
• Creating safety and steadiness
• Respecting your sensitivity rather than overriding it

When the nervous system feels supported, the body can finally exhale. That’s when healing begins.

Supporting Energy, Not Fighting the Body

Intuitively, I gave Leslie a remedy I had created some years ago, along with magnesium to support her nervous system physically.

There was no forcing.
No fixing.
Just support.

Not long after, she messaged me.

The pain had eased. But what struck her most was something else entirely.

She said she felt like she had a protective blanket around her.

Not closed off.
Not disconnected.

Just steady.
Held.
Supported.

That’s the power of working with the body and energy instead of against them.

Leslie didn’t need to toughen up.
She needed energetic boundaries.
She needed Grounding.
She needed Self-love at an energetic level.

Why Self Love Is Not Optional

Self love is often misunderstood.

It’s not indulgence.
It’s not weakness.
It’s certainly not ignoring reality.

Self-love is regulation. Self- love is actually non-negotiable.

When we meet ourselves with respect instead of criticism, the nervous system calms.
When the nervous system calms, digestion improves, hormones settle and pain softens.
When pain softens, our choices improve.

This is why people in a positive emotional feedback loop tend to achieve their health and wealth goals more consistently.

Not because life is easier for them, but because their habitual way of being supports them instead of undermining them.

Habits don’t just create results.
Identity creates habits.

Identity is shaped by repetition.

Where Magi Fits In

The remedy I gave Leslie is called Magi.

It was inspired by the ancient essences of gold, frankincense and myrrh substances long associated with strength, wisdom, grounding and nervous system support.

Magi isn’t about protection through hardness.
It’s about protection through coherence.

It helps people who feel deeply
Who give a lot
Who absorb more than they realise to stay connected to themselves while still being present in the world.

For Leslie, that shift changed everything.

The Ripple Effect

Once someone moves into a positive feedback loop, something interesting happens.

They stop coming back to “fix” problems.
They start coming back to expand.

This is something I see not only with pain and energy, but with weight too.

When people support themselves emotionally and energetically, rather than punishing themselves, weight releases more easily and stays off.

This is where remedies like Drop Weight Drops can be powerful allies, not as a standalone solution, but as part of a system that supports the whole person.

Because weight, pain and fatigue are rarely just physical problems.
They’re often signals that the body needs support, not pressure.

A Gentle Invitation

If you see yourself in Leslie’s story, if you’re sensitive, tired or feel like life hits you harder than it should, this may be your invitation to change the loop you’re living in.

You don’t need to fight your body.
You don’t need to override yourself.

Sometimes, in fact nearly always, the most powerful shift comes from choosing steadiness over struggle.

From there on, everything changes.

Why Dementia is rising so fast… and why it’s showing up younger than ever

Over the last few years I’ve had the same conversation with so many people.

“Why is everyone losing their memory?”
“Why are people in their forties and fifties getting dementia?”
“What on earth has happened to our brains?”

These aren’t silly questions. They’re the right questions.
The answer isn’t simple or convenient, but it is understandable once you follow the timeline.

This didn’t happen overnight.
The groundwork was quietly laid more than thirty years ago.

So let’s go back to where it really started.

The late 80s and early 90s: The storm begins

This was the decade when everything changed.
Not in a dramatic Hollywood way, but in a slow, steady, drip that reshaped our health without anyone noticing.

Cholesterol became the villain

This was the era when the medical world decided that cholesterol was the enemy. Doctors were encouraged to test everyone. Statins were introduced and quickly became the default prescription for “prevention”.

The problem is that cholesterol isn’t the villain at all. It’s the building block of hormones, memory, nerves, the brain and the immune system. Without enough cholesterol, your brain cannot repair itself properly.

Even though the research today says statins don’t single-handedly cause dementia, we do know they can affect some people’s memory, mood and clarity.
For many, especially those already stressed and depleted, lowering cholesterol too far removes a key part of the brain’s self-repair kit.

Statins weren’t the only cause, in theory!
They were one more stress stacked onto an already fragile system.

Fat was suddenly “dangerous”

We were told to avoid fat and especially animal fat.
Butter swapped for margarine, lard thrown out, red meat demonised. Low-fat everything filled the supermarket.

The trouble is that the brain is made of fat.
Take the fat away and you take the stability away.

At the same time, vegetable oils exploded onto the shelves. Oils that become unstable when heated, oxidise in the blood and create chronic inflammation. Imagine pouring varnish into a delicate electrical circuit. That is what happened inside people’s arteries and brains.

This one shift alone was like pulling the nutritional rug out from under an entire generation.

Processed foods took over

Breakfast bars, low-fat yoghurts, “healthy” cereals, convenience meals and snacks seemed like a modern miracle. They were anything but. High in sugar, additives, preservatives and seed oils, they put the brain and the gut into a constant state of stress.

Stress, busyness and sleep loss became the new normal

By the early 2000s most people had no real recovery time.
Work, kids, money worries, constant stimulation and screens replaced rest.

High cortisol levels shrink the hippocampus, which is the part of the brain involved in memory and learning.

When stress is chronic, the nervous system never gets to exhale and the brain never gets to clean itself properly. This is why the glymphatic system (the brain’s detox system) is such a big deal.

Metabolic health collapsed

Since the early 90s:
• obesity has more than doubled
• diabetes has tripled
• fatty liver is now the norm
• insulin resistance affects most adults whether they know it or not

Alzheimer’s is often nicknamed “Type 3 Diabetes” for a reason.
A metabolically stressed brain cannot function properly, no matter how many crossword puzzles you do.

Combine all of this with low fat diets, poor sleep, seed oils and chronic stress and you have a brain that is ageing faster than ever before.

So, why are people getting dementia younger?

Because the damage is starting earlier.

When the nervous system is stressed
The liver is overloaded
The gut is inflamed
The blood sugars swing
Plus, the diet lacks the nutrients to repair the brain
You end up with cognitive decline ten, twenty or even thirty years before it should appear.

People always say “But dementia is just because we’re living longer.”

Not any more.
People in their forties, fifties and early sixties are now being diagnosed.
There is something much bigger happening.

The last few years added a final layer

We cannot talk honestly about brain health without acknowledging what happened recently.

Since 2021, more people have reported:
• brain fog
• memory issues
• neurological changes
• night sweats
• inflammation
• chronic fatigue
• emotional volatility

For many, this appeared after the COVID years.
Whether from the virus itself, the vaccine, the stress, the isolation or the sheer burnout of that period, the neurological load increased dramatically.

If your brain was already juggling low fat diets, seed oils, statins, chronic stress and poor metabolic health, this extra layer pushed it closer to the edge.

Again, not the cause on its own, but part of the picture.

What this really means for you and your family

The dementia explosion is not random.
It’s not bad luck.
And it’s not just ageing.

It’s the result of decades of:
• poor dietary advice
• food replacements that harmed instead of helped
• chronic stress on the nervous system
• rising metabolic dysfunction
• environmental toxins
• sleep loss
• immune overwhelm
• and a medical model that treats symptoms instead of foundations

It sounds bleak, but actually it’s hopeful.
Because when you understand the true causes, you can change your path.

The brain can heal.
The body can repair.
Metabolic health can be restored.
Inflammation can come down.
Clarity, memory and emotional balance can return.

I see it every day in my community.

When you support the liver
When you reduce inflammation
When you return to nutrient-dense foods
When the nervous system finds safety
When the body isn’t fighting fires all day

The mind becomes clearer
Your energy comes back
Your whole system starts to feel like itself again.

A better future starts with better foundations

We cannot control what happened in the 90s or the last five years.
But we can choose what we do now.

Eat real food
Support the gut
Balance the minerals
Lower inflammation
Move the body
Rest the nervous system
Stop fearing fat
Honour sleep
Remove chemicals where possible
Strengthen resilience

Most importantly, trust that your body still knows how to heal, when we stop getting in its way.

Your health is your power, it is never too late to turn the tide.

❤️If you’re not sure where to start… begin with ease

One of the simplest ways to support your nervous system, calm inflammation and steady your metabolism is the Drop Weight Drops. They help bring the body back into balance, ease cravings, reduce stress signals and create the stability your brain and gut need to heal. Many people tell me they notice clearer thinking, a calmer mind and better energy within days.

If you feel your system has been overloaded for years, this is a gentle and powerful place to begin.

The Cortisol Switch:

When your cortisol is calm then your body can heal

Why Stress Chemistry Makes Midlife Weight So Hard to Shift

Every so often a shiny new headline appears telling women they have finally found the missing link to their weight struggles. This week the big revelation is that “switching off cortisol can melt menopausal belly fat”. It is being marketed like a brand new discovery, something cutting edge that no one has ever considered before. Except many of us in natural health have been teaching this exact concept since before half these blogs existed. The body is not a machine that randomly refuses to let go of fat. It is a living electrical system that responds to danger, nourishment and stress, whether that stress comes from life, food, hormones or even hidden inflammation.

Cortisol is not the villain it is portrayed to be.

It is actually one of the most important chemicals we have. Without it we would not get out of bed in the morning, run from danger, survive an accident or recover after a shock. The issue is not cortisol itself. The issue is living in a pattern where it never turns off. Human beings were never meant to marinate in cortisol all day then wonder why their body is holding on around the middle. When cortisol is high for too long the body stores fat as a survival strategy. You could be eating well, fasting, walking miles or trying every trick under the sun. If the stress chemistry stays switched on nothing meaningful will shift.

Midlife makes this pattern louder.

As we move into our forties and fifties, hormones begin to change. Oestrogen drops which alters the entire stress response. Sleep becomes lighter, especially between 1am and 3am. Blood sugar becomes more sensitive to swings. The mineral tank gets lower. The nervous system gets more reactive because we are juggling a thousand things. Then cortisol rises faster and stays high longer. Suddenly the belly becomes the storage bank for stress, not calories. This is why so many women tell me they are eating less than ever yet gaining weight. It is not a lack of willpower. It is biology trying to protect them.

Adrenal position

There are very clear signs that the cortisol switch is stuck in the on position.

Waking at 1am or 2am is a classic one. Feeling tired but wired is another. The belly thickens or feels inflamed. Cravings come out of nowhere. Mood becomes edgy. Concentration drops. You might feel overwhelmed by things that never used to bother you. Digestion becomes unpredictable. Some women feel puffy in their hands, legs or face. Others describe it as living in a body that does not feel like their own. These symptoms are not random. They are the body’s way of saying the stress chemistry is ruling the show.

The interesting part is that food plays a bigger role than most people realise.

Blood sugar swings are one of the fastest ways to raise cortisol. Every time your glucose spikes and then crashes, your body thinks something is wrong. This is why low-inflammatory foods and carnivore-style eating are so powerful. They stabilise the blood sugar rollercoaster. When blood sugar steadies, insulin steadies. When insulin steadies, cortisol can finally calm down. You cannot out-supplement a chaotic food plan. You cannot meditate your way out of constant sugar burning. The body needs chemistry that supports calm, not chaos.

Fasting can also help reset cortisol, but only when done in a way that suits your chemistry.

Gentle fasting windows or mono fasting give the digestive and hormonal systems a brea,k which naturally lowers cortisol. It is never about starving or pushing the body into distress. It is about allowing the body to exhale. Many women notice the biggest shift in their belly when they combine low-inflammatory eating with the right fasting rhythm for their stage of life.

Minerals are another huge piece of the puzzle.

Magnesium, salt sole, potassium and sodium are not optional extras. They are the foundation of a stable nervous system. When minerals drop too low the adrenal glands work harder, cortisol rises more easily and the entire system becomes reactive. This is why I am constantly talking about salt sole, magnesium in the belly button, magnesium on the abdomen and restoring the electrical side of the body. Minerals are the switches that help cortisol turn off at the right time.

There is also the emotional and energetic side.

Many women in midlife are holding decades of stress, grief, overgiving and responsibility. When you have lived in survival mode for a long time the cortisol pattern becomes automatic. This is where frequencies, grounding and nervous system work become so important. Calm the frequency and the chemistry follows. You can see it physically. Shoulders drop, breathing deepens, digestion improves and weight begins to release. The body only lets go when it feels safe.

What surprises people is how many common “healthy” habits actually make cortisol worse.

Many diets, including the keto protocol, calorie counting and restricting food too hard can raise cortisol. Endless cardio or high-intensity exercise can raise cortisol. Snacking on “healthy” high-carb foods can raise cortisol. Even certain supplements can overstimulate the adrenals. The modern world encourages women to push harder, do more, sleep less and pretend everything is fine. Then we wonder why the cortisol loop never turns off.

Midlife weight is not caused by laziness or weakness.

It is caused by a system that is overwhelmed, inflamed, undernourished or electrically unstable. When you begin to repair the terrain the entire picture changes. Blood sugar calms. Hormones settle. The nervous system steadies. The belly softens and the weight begins to release. It is not magic. It is physiology working the way it was always meant to. Yet because it is not wrapped in a prescription or a trending headline it is often overlooked.

This is why my approach works so consistently.

We calm the chemistry first. Low-inflammatory foods remove the triggers. Carnivore style eating repairs the gut and balances hormones. Salt sole replenishes the minerals the adrenals desperately need. Magnesium steadies the electrical current in the body. The Drop Weight Drops calm the stress response and help switch off the wired mode. Fasting helps the system repair. Frequencies support the body in clearing the emotional load. Grounding connects you back to the earth’s electrical field which naturally regulates cortisol. When all of these work together the body feels safe enough to let go.

Quite frankly, this is how women should be supported through midlife.

Not with fear, not with injections, not with calorie charts and certainly not with the idea that they are falling apart. Midlife is not the beginning of the end. It is the beginning of your next chapter. The chemistry just needs different support now that stress has taken a greater toll. Once cortisol is no longer driving the bus, the body becomes responsive again. Weight that has been stuck for years can finally shift, often faster than expected.

So if your body has been holding on, if your belly feels like it has a mind of its own or if you are doing all the right things yet nothing is changing, it may be time to look at your cortisol pattern. You are not imagining it and you are certainly not alone. There is a very real biochemical loop that makes fat storage easier and fat release harder. The beautiful thing is that this loop can be turned off naturally. No hype, no aggressive protocols, no relying on willpower. Just simple supportive steps that restore your body’s sense of safety.

Drop weight drops - can aid in stopping the cortisol cascade

If this resonates and you want help calming your cortisol pattern, you might want to give the Drop Weight Drops a try, or even get on board with our next challenge - starting mid January
Please feel free to message me privately. This is what I help women with every single day.

Weight release becomes so much easier when cortisol finally lets go.

Your body knows what to do once it feels steady again. Sometimes it just needs someone to show you the path back to balance.

THE MESENTERY:

The Gut’s Hidden Anchor… and the Weight-Loss link nobody is talking about, until now!

The Mesentery

There are parts of the body everyone knows about.
Your heart.
Your liver.
Your stomach.
Even your gallbladder gets more attention than it deserves.

Then there’s the mesentery.
A structure so important it was recently reclassified as an organ, yet most people have never heard its name.

But here’s the real shocker.

If the mesentery is inflamed, stagnant, tight or overloaded

…it can make weight around your belly refuse to budge, no matter how perfectly you eat.

Let me tell you a little story that happens more often than you’d think.

A Little Story (based on about 300 real-life conversations)

A woman comes to me saying something like:

“I’m a strict carnivore.
I fast.
I sleep well.
I’ve cut out everything except air.
STILL my stomach looks six months pregnant.”

She’s convinced something is wrong.
She’s tried every detox under the sun.
She hunts out every practitioner who gives her hope and a diagnosis that feels right. She follows a protocol with loads of supplements and lots of tests. Still nothing is working!

She has even taken screenshots of her bowel movements.
She’s been gaslit by every specialist who shrugs and says, “Try eating less, exercise more.”

But she isn’t “failing”.
Her mesentery is overloaded.

Once she supports this one overlooked structure
The bloating calms
The weight softens
The stress drops
Then her gut finally releases like it’s been waiting for permission.

Let’s break it down so you can understand why.

What the Mesentery Actually Is

The mesentery is the fan-shaped sheet of fascia that:

• holds your intestines in place
• feeds them with blood
• drains them with lymph
• connects them to your nervous system
• keeps everything anchored and stable
• hosts immune cells
• absorbs fats
• regulates inflammation
• communicates with your brain

It is, quite literally, the bridge between your gut, immune system, lymphatic system and metabolism.

If the gut is the fire
The mesentery is the hearth.

If the gut is the garden
The mesentery is the soil.

How the Mesentery and Lymph System Work Together

Running through the mesentery are tiny lymph vessels called lacteals.
These little warriors:

• absorb fats
• transport waste
• carry immune messages
• help regulate inflammation

So even though the mesentery isn’t officially part of the lymphatic system
It houses some of its most important functions.

Which means if the mesentery becomes congested, the lymph becomes sluggish.
And if lymph becomes sluggish… weight gets stuck.

The intestines feed into the mesentery.
The mesentery contains lymph, blood, and nervous system wiring.
The lymph then carries fats, waste, and immune messages out of the gut.
If any of these slow down, weight stalls.

How the Mesentery Gets Out of Balance

Now here’s where it gets really interesting.

The mesentery becomes irritated, inflamed or overloaded when:

Stress is running the show

Chronic stress tightens fascia.
A tight mesentery = slowed lymph = slowed metabolism.

This is why women who look calm on the outside are often fighting “wired but tired” chemistry underneath.

Chemical exposure

Glyphosate
Seed oils
Food additives
Preservatives
Heavy metals
Flavour enhancers
Environmental toxins

These irritate the delicate fascia and lymph vessels inside the mesentery.

Your body then holds fat around the belly to protect the inflamed tissue.

Eating the wrong foods (even in tiny amounts)

If you’re sensitive to certain foods and the gut is trying to heal, the mesentery reacts first.
It tightens and becomes swollen… all without showing up on a scan.

This is why people on carnivore who “add in a little something” often bloat instantly.

Too much sitting, not enough moving

Movement pumps lymph.
No movement = no pumping.
No pumping = congestion.

The mesentery loves gentle movement, not HIIT.

Gut infections, parasites or old trauma

Your intestines and mesentery are so connected that if one is upset
The other protects it by tightening or inflaming.

Plus,yes,emotional trauma lives in fascia.
The mesentery feels it.

Dehydration or low minerals

Fascia needs hydration + electrolytes to slide.
A crunchy, sticky mesentery is not your friend.

High inflammation from years of poor eating

Even after you switch to low-inflammatory foods
The mesentery takes time to calm down.

This is why the belly sometimes gets bigger before it gets smaller,
The inflammation rises as the body heals.

Symptoms of a Mesentery Under Stress

You might recognise a few:

• bloating, especially lower belly
• looking “pregnant” after any meal
• burping on an empty stomach
• weight stuck around the middle
• waking 2 - 4 am
• bowel movements all over the place
• swollen lymph nodes
• water retention
• feeling wired not tired
• not hungry even after fasting days
• “nothing works for me” feeling

These are classic mesentery-lymph overload signs.

Why This Affects Weight Release

Because the body always protects what is inflamed.

If the mesentery is irritated the body stores fat around it like a safety cushion.
It won’t release that fat until the area feels safe.

So if you’re carnivore, you do regular fasting
Doing all the “right” things but your mesentery is overloaded, your body will hold on rather than let go.

This is protection, not failure.

How to Support the Mesentery (gently and effectively)

These are the practices your body loves:

Salt sole

Hydrates fascia
Feeds lymph
Calms inflammation
Supports electrical signalling.- Yes we are electrical beings

Magnesium gel

Softens tight fascia
supports lymph flow
calms the nervous system.

Gelatin + glycine

Repairs connective tissue
soothes the gut lining
reduces inflammation.

Mono fasting

Gives the mesentery a break
reduces digestive workload
allows lymph to catch up.

Nasal breathing

Lowers stress chemistry
calms fascia
improves gut–brain signalling.

Belly massage

Moves lymph
softens fascia
releases stored emotions.

Movement (walks, gentle stretching)

Pumps the lymph
reduces stagnation.

Low-inflammatory or carnivore eating

Removes the chemical burden so the mesentery can repair.

Stress reduction practices

Breathwork
Mudras
Cold exposure
Grounding
All of these calm the fascia and the mesentery responds instantly.

The Takeaway

Your mesentery is not a background character.
It is a central player in gut health, lymph flow, inflammation and metabolic signalling.

If it’s overloaded, inflamed, tight, or stagnant

Your body holds onto weight to protect it.

When it calms
Your chemistry shifts
Your fascia softens
Your lymph moves
Then the weight finally starts to release the way it was always meant to.

Your body isn’t sabotaging you.
It’s protecting a structure nobody ever told you mattered.
