In this solo episode of The Lizzie Ens Show , Lizzie explains why a sluggish lymphatic system can look like weight gain (but is often fluid retention ), why your body can feel “stuck” even when you’re doing all the right things, and how lymph stagnation can contribute to estrogen recycling, cortisol-related puffiness, and detox symptoms that get worse when you try to cleanse. You’ll walk away with a practical “drainage-first” plan, including movement, hydration, deep breathing, rebounding, vibration, dry brushing, and Lizzie’s top stack: dry brushing + glutathione + far infrared sauna .
