    Episode 72: Why Your Lymph Is Still Backed Up: The Hidden Truth About Lymphatic Congestion No One Is Talking About… Yet

    Why Your Lymph Is Still Backed Up: The Hidden Truth About Lymphatic Congestion No One Is Talking About… Yet In this episode of Connecting with the Thom’s, we’re taking you behind the scenes into a powerful real-life case that opened our eyes even more to the complexity of the lymphatic system. After six months of focused work — supporting lymph drainage, opening the kidneys, improving hydration, movement, breathwork, and terrain — a client’s diagnostic test still showed major lymphatic congestion. So… what was going on? This surprising result led us into a deeper investigation and revealed several critical truths about the lymphatic system that almost no one is addressing — not in functional medicine, not in detox programs, and definitely not in mainstream health. In this episode, we explore: 💧 What the lymphatic system really does Not just “detox” — but immune surveillance, fluid regulation, communication, and terrain management. ⚠️ Why lymphatic congestion can remain—even with consistent support And why the typical tools (dry brushing, rebounding, gua sha) don’t always address the real blockages. 🧠 The deeper biological medicine insights that helped us understand this case Including how emotional states, autonomic patterns, structural issues, and terrain imbalance affect lymph flow. 🌿 The core reasons the lymph “locks up” that aren’t talked about… yet We break down what we now see over and over again in clients who can’t get their lymph moving despite best efforts. 🔄 What to do when your lymph isn’t responding to what “should” work Practical tools, reframes, and deeper layers that bring the whole picture together. If you’ve been working on your lymph and still feel swollen, puffy, inflamed, or blocked… this episode is going to help you connect dots that finally make sense. And if you’re a practitioner — this will change the way you assess drainage forever. 🌱 Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Explore biological medicine and drainage education: 👉 https://www.biomed-drainage.orgBecome a certified Biological Medicine Practitioner: 👉 https://biomed.thinkific.com/Join the 1 Day Case Based Learning Webinar: BIA, Nerve Express & PEMF Therapy February 7th 9-2pm MT 👉 ⁠https://drdicksonthom.com/ 💛 If today’s conversation opened something for you, please share it, subscribe, and leave a review.

    Episode 71: What Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You — Healing Acne, Eczema & Psoriasis from Within

    Episode 70: What Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You — Healing Acne, Eczema & Psoriasis from Within Your skin is more than just what you see in the mirror — it’s your body’s messenger. In this episode of Connecting with the Thom’s, we unpack the deeper story behind acne, psoriasis, and eczema through the lens of biological medicine and emotional healing. Rather than seeing skin issues as something to suppress or “fix,” we explore how the skin acts as a primary emunctory (body block) — a pathway your body uses to eliminate toxins, emotions, and inflammation when other systems are overloaded. We cover: 🔍 How the skin reflects the state of your inner terrain 💥 The real root causes behind chronic acne, eczema, and psoriasis 🌿 Why suppressing symptoms can push illness deeper into the body 🧠 The link between emotions, nervous system regulation, and skin flare-ups 💧 Gentle, supportive ways to open drainage and restore skin balance naturally If you’ve been fighting your skin — feeling frustrated, defeated, or lost — this episode will help you reframe your relationship with it. Because your skin isn’t betraying you; it’s communicating with you. Learn how to listen, support, and respond to what your skin is trying to say.

    Episode 70: Is Your Colon Trying to Tell You Something? What Everyone Should Know About Gut Health, Diverticulitis & Colonoscopies

    When was the last time you thought about your colon? For most people, it’s not until something goes wrong — bloating, irregularity, inflammation, or that dreaded diverticulitis diagnosis — that it finally gets their attention. In this episode of Connecting with the Thom’s, we’re breaking down what your colon is really trying to tell you — and why it’s one of the most important (and misunderstood) systems in the body. From the biological medicine perspective, your colon isn’t just a waste chute — it’s a primary drainage organ that plays a vital role in detoxification, immune balance, and even emotional regulation. When it’s congested or inflamed, every other system pays the price. We’ll explore: 💩 The real connection between colon health and whole-body toxicity 🔥 What causes diverticulitis and how to support healing naturally 🧠 Why your gut and nervous system are constantly in conversation 🩺 Colonoscopies — when they’re helpful, when they’re not, and how to make an informed choice 🌿 How to gently support your colon through biological drainage, hydration, and emotional release If you’ve ever wondered “Should I get a colonoscopy?” or “Why do my gut symptoms keep coming back?” — this conversation will bring clarity, context, and practical tools to help you make empowered decisions for your health. Because your colon isn’t just a part of your digestive system — it’s a mirror of your inner terrain. Learn more about biological drainage at www.biomed-drainage.org 💬 Loved this episode?

    Episode 69: Why Am I Not Getting Better? 5 Hidden Blocks to Healing No One Talks About You’ve changed your diet. You’ve tried detoxes. Maybe you’ve worked with multiple practitioners. Yet despite all the effort—you’re still not feeling better. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. In this episode of Connecting with the Thom’s, we explore one of the most frustrating parts of the healing journey: when progress stalls. We break down the often-overlooked reasons why people stay stuck, and how biological medicine and trauma-informed approaches can shift things forward. Here’s what we’ll cover: 🚫 Why drainage matters more than detox—and how skipping this step keeps toxins recycling ⚡ The role of cellular energy—your body may not have the electrons it needs to heal 💔 The fifth emunctory—how unresolved emotions and nervous system dysregulation block release 🧩 Missing diagnostic tests—simple but critical details that impact overall health 🌀 Why “doing more” isn’t the answer—and how slowing down can create more lasting results If you’ve ever wondered, “What’s wrong with me? Why isn’t this working?”—this episode will reframe that question and give you tools to uncover the real reason your body isn’t healing. Spoiler: you’re not broken. You just need the right support. ✨ Resources & Links: Learn more at www.biomed-drainage.org Join us at the Omega Institute Workshop (Oct 10–12, NY) for a hands-on healing experience 💛 If this episode resonates, share it with a friend who feels stuck in their healing.

    Episode 68: PEMF & Electrons: The Missing Link to Finally Healing Your Body?

    🎙️ Episode 68: PEMF & Electrons: The Missing Link to Finally Healing Your Body? Are you doing “all the right things” for your health—but still feel stuck? Drainage, eating clean, managing stress, and yet your energy just doesn’t return? In this episode of Connecting with the Thom’s, we explore a piece of the healing puzzle that’s often overlooked: the role of electrons and cellular energy in true recovery. We dive into: ⚡ What electrons actually do in the body and why they’re vital for healing 🌀 How PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) helps recharge cells, improve circulation, and restore balance 🧪 The connection between toxicity, energy depletion, and why detox protocols sometimes fall flat 🧘 How supporting your body energetically can make emotional release and drainage more effective 🌍 Simple ways to increase your electron availability—even beyond PEMF Too often, healing protocols focus only on what to remove (toxins, stressors, foods) instead of what the body needs to thrive. This episode reframes the conversation: if your cells don’t have enough energy, your body simply can’t repair, detox, or regulate itself. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s still a “missing piece” in your healing journey, this might be it. ✨ Resources & Links: Learn more about drainage-based healing: www.biomed-drainage.org Join us live at the Omega Institute Workshop – Oct 10–12 in New YorkTo learn more about the PEMF device we now use in our practices please contact craig.group@bemermail.com💬 If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who’s searching for new answers on their healing path.

    Episode 67: The Fifth Emunctory: The Emotional Key to Finally Releasing Toxins

    Episode 67: The Fifth Emunctory: The Emotional Key to Finally Releasing Toxins If you’ve done all the detoxes, followed every protocol, cleaned up your diet, and still feel stuck—there’s likely one system you haven’t supported: your fifth emunctory. In biological medicine, emunctories are the body's natural drainage pathways—most people know the physical ones: skin, lungs, kidneys, and colon. But there’s a fifth that almost no one talks about… and it’s the one that holds the key to why your body can’t let go. 👉 Your nervous system—and your ability to process emotion—isn’t just involved in healing. It’s essential to elimination. In this episode, we explore how emotional congestion shows up as physical stagnation, how trauma impacts drainage, and why many people stay “toxic” despite doing everything right. We break down: Why your nervous system is a functional emunctory in biological medicine How unresolved emotions and nervous system dysregulation block detox The difference between pushing detox vs. supporting drainage How somatic work, nervous system regulation, and emotional release create true momentum in healing What it actually looks like to create space in the body—physically and emotionally—for release If you’re stuck in chronic symptoms, always bouncing between protocols, or feel like your body is holding onto something—it probably is. And this episode helps explain why. We don’t offer quick fixes, but we do offer a new framework: one where emotions are not separate from the body—they are the body.And when you work with them, not against them, your biology responds.
