Have you ever had skin that ached from inflammation? I have, and now I know exactly where to go if I fail with my food and become swollen.
I’m sharing Lymphatic Drainage Massage and how it can aid inflammation and help in body sculpting.
Such as revealing abs that could be hidden.
What is lymphatic drainage massage, and do you need one?
If you saw my mommy makeover surgery series, you saw I received a lymphatic drainage massage post-surgery.
Receiving lymphatic massages following body surgery is common in Central and South America; however, it is not currently widespread in the US.
I think that is changing as locations like Lymphologie open, making this delicate massage technique available to more people.
What are the benefits of Lymphatic Massage?
Our lymphatic system is key to our body’s immune defenses.
Lymphatic fluid flows through lymph vessels, which connect lymph nodes. White blood cells trap and destroy harmful particles, such as bacteria, as lymph fluid passes through lymph nodes.
Similar to blood in the circulatory system, lymphatic fluid is always moving. If it stops, fluid build-up can cause swelling, often in the arms or legs.
Exercise is crucial to avoid lymph fluid build-up, which is why walking is essential following surgery.
Combine walking with lymphatic drainage to encourage further movement and clearing of fluid.
If you are not post-surgery but feel inflamed, schedule a lymphatic drainage massage and start walking. It’s amazing what walking and light touch can do and how much better you will feel.
Is lymphatic drainage massage only beneficial post-surgery?
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be recovering from a body surgery to reap the benefits of a lymphatic massage. This therapeutic technique is beneficial for everyone.
One year after my mommy makeover surgery, I received a second lymphatic massage from Carolina, the owner of Lymphologie, located in Folsom, California.
It’s true that following major surgery, like a mommy makeover, your body will swell, which is why many set up lymphatic drainage massages post-surgery to help drain inflammation.
The basic concept of a lymphatic massage is to open the lymph nodes and move trapped fluid so that the body can remove it.
Which Lymphatic Drainage Massage did I receive?
At Lymphologie, I received the Full Body and Face Brazillian Lymphatic Drainage treatment.
As you can see, this is a very relaxing and gentle experience that lasts for 70 minutes.
FIRST STEP:
Like many massages, it begins with deep breathing. Deep breathing acts like a pump, helping move fluid through the vessels and lymph nodes.
SECOND STEP:
Prepare the front of the neck by stretching from the earlobe to the shoulders.
THIRD STEP:
Prepare the back of the neck by moving hands from the base of the hairline down towards the spine.
FOURTH STEP:
Prepare the lymph nodes under the arms to help them accept lymph fluid from other areas of the body.
FIFTH STEP:
Prepare the back of the knees by gently pressing the hands into the back of the knee and rolling them upward.
After the lymph nodes have been prepared, the massage technique uses light pressure to gently move fluid toward the nearest lymph node for removal.
I loved the stomach massage. This is where many see a huge before and after difference in sculpting the body if they have fluid buildup in the abdomen.
My lymphatic drainage massage included a beautiful face-sculpting massage, which was soothing and will put you into a relaxing trance.
The overall experience is dreamy, and I’m so glad I gave lymphatic drainage massage another chance.

And a large thank you to Carolina at Lymphologie, which is linked in the description.
Why am I in this top?
I decided I needed more motivation to build core strength. It’s been 14 months since the mommy makeover surgery, and the lower portion of my core remains an activation challenge.
STARTING April 18, 2024
INSPIRATION
To motivate myself, I decided to set a goal for the next 30 days to walk 3 miles each day and use a core strengthening program I bought last night on Instagram.
This will be added to my three hot yoga classes and three gym lifting days.
I put it in my calendar to see if I could get it all in. This challenge scares me, and the fact that I’m sharing it makes it even more terrifying.
With this in mind, I will stay accountable week to week by showing my midsection in future videos to help me document any changes.
Carolina told me I didn’t have any inflammation in my core, which is great because anything I do build in the next 30 days should be noticeable.
We will see, and yes, I’m afraid of failing. I plan to document it for a future video and see what happens.
I promise to share in future posts on Instagram, Youtube, and the Natural Kaos App.

Comment “LINK” to get your skincare questions answered asap and help me train our new friend.
Because I proliferate content, my website is deep with info, videos, sourcing, and promo codes.
Although a treasure trove of information it can be overwhelming and hard to find what you are looking for.
Today, I stepped into the Ai creation world and built my first assistant. The NK Web Assistant has crawled my site and I spent a few hours training it. I also added the most asked questions I see, such as:
-Where do you source tox?
-Where are the peptides?
-Where are microneedling videos?
-Where is numbing cream?
-What is mesotherapy?
-Are KFDA-approved products safe?
-How do I find the promo codes?
-Why should I join the NK APP?
There is only one of me 😂 however, I care about promptly responding to you. This 🤖 is going to truly help expedite the conversation and serve you!
Also, if you have an iPhone📱 (I’m not sure about Android as I don’t have one) you can save the site that the link takes you to as an Icon on your home screen. I placed mine next to the Natural Kaos App.
As you ask the NK 🤖 questions it learns. It’s built using the latest technology (well at least that I can navigate) called:
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It refers to a type of AI that has the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at a level comparable to human intelligence. Unlike narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks, AGI aims to perform any intellectual task that a human can do.

Comment “DILL” for both the dressing and chicken recipe:)
This is the Dill Dip Dressing Recipe that my sister @sweetnsassyeats makes for us each year on our houseboat trip!
You can thin it out with more or less mayonnaise. It keeps perfectly in the fridge for these hot summer days. It’s an adult and kid pleaser plus exposes your kids to more varieties than simply ranch dip.

Happy Sunday!!!
I brought the boys to Napa today to visit the gardens at the Culinary Institute of America.
There is incredible inspiration here, from the infrastructure, to the combinations of plantings.
The boys were excited to see what they could do and create in our own garden…which unfortunately has been greatly neglected this year.
I reminded them there is always next year!
What is CIA (Culinary Institute of America)?
CIA at Copia is the Culinary Institute of America’s food and beverage hub in the heart of Napa. Explore food and wine through a variety of dining experiences, hands-on classes, shopping, and more.
