E259 Unlocking the Body: Fascia, Recovery, and the Future of Healing with Chris Duffin Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

Chris Duffin is back—and this one goes deep.

We’re talking about the stuff that actually moves the needle when it comes to your body, your recovery, and how you feel day to day.

Shockwave therapy.
Red light therapy.
TENS units.
And the real conversation most people aren’t having—fascia.

Because fascia isn’t just about mobility…
It’s connected to cellulite, injury recovery, chronic pain, and even cardiovascular health.

If you’ve ever wondered why your body holds tension, why some injuries won’t fully heal, or why certain therapies seem to work for some people and not others—this episode connects the dots.

We break down:

What fascia actually is (and why it matters more than you think)
How shockwave and red light therapy impact tissue at a deeper level
The role of electrical stimulation (TENS) in recovery and pain
Why cellulite might be more than just a cosmetic issue
How all of this ties into long-term health—including heart function

No fluff. No surface-level takes.
Just real conversation about how to understand your body—and actually take care of it.

If you’re serious about performance, recovery, or just not feeling like crap in your own skin… this one’s worth your time.

E258 Instant Relief Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Michaela sits down with entrepreneur Mike Hammond, founder of Signal Relief and a longtime startup builder who has launched several companies across industries. Hammond shares the unusual origin story behind the Signal Relief patch—a drug-free device developed after engineers working in radio and antenna technology discovered that a specialized antenna pattern could interact with the body’s electrical fields and potentially reduce pain signals.

The conversation explores Hammond’s entrepreneurial journey, his belief in non-pharmaceutical approaches to pain management, and the science claims behind the product, including theories about electrical signaling and the body’s internal water charge. Michaela brings a clinician’s lens to the discussion, asking practical questions about how the technology is supposed to work, what evidence exists, and where skepticism is warranted.

The episode also includes Michaela’s candid reflections on whether the product actually works in real-world use—balancing curiosity with critical thinking as she weighs anecdotal testimonials against scientific validation. The result is a thoughtful conversation about innovation, wellness products, and the challenge of separating genuine breakthroughs from hype in the health marketplace.
