Journalist Mary Pilon, in her page-turning book The Monopolists, hunts down the true story of the woman who invented the most popular board game in the world. Monopoly inventor and forgotten feminist Lizzie Magie died in 1948, thinking she was a failure, having received a total of $500 for the rights to her game. We hear about Magie’s vision and mission for the game, as well as her futile fight to defend her work and legacy, which Pilon resolutely revives from the sidelines of history. 

Dr. Michael Lin, PhD, MD of Lin Labs, Stanford University, joins SmartHER News for an update to discuss what we’ve learned, what we need to know, and what to watch for at this point in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Giselle Wasfie, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine gives us the 101 foundation of Chinese Medicine. A practice more than 3,000 years old, we learn that the three branches; Eastern Nutritutin, Herbal Medicine, and Acupuncture, all tie together for mind-body-soul balance. Giselle reads our tongues, the map of internal energy channels, and explains how your pulse can be used as a diagnostic tool. We all agree…remixing health and wellness means that every individual person gets a say in their life.

This week I interview Renee Simons, RMT on her massage and visceral manipulation work with patients with digestive disorders. In particular, we highlight a discussion around polyvagal theory, that can be applied to massage practice to enhance patient wellbeing and symptoms, especially in functional gut disorders.

Renee’s interest in human kinetics and functional muscle movement began with Kinesiology studies at Simon Fraser University (SFU). In 2004, she graduated from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy completing a 3000hr program and is a member of the College of Massage Therapists of BC and the Canadian Massage and Osteopathic Therapists of Alberta.

Since becoming a Registered Massage Therapist, Renee has focused her post-graduate training and clinical practice around Myofascial Release and Visceral Manipulation techniques and is committed to providing patients with individualized treatments to discover and resolve the underlying reasons why they may have pain and dysfunction in their bodies. Her practice has a strong connection to women’s health, GI dysfunctions and the Gut-Brain Axis.

Renee’s treatment paradigm follows a biopsychosocial model and Stephen Porges Polyvagal Theory. Teaching is a way for Renee to pay it forward and share her passion about massage therapy and mentor the next generation of therapists. She currently teaches for Alberta College of Massage Therapy.

Renee and I talk about:

• How does massage fit within digestive disorders?
• What is visceral manipulation & myofascial release?
• How do physical restrictions contribute to pain in digestive disorders?
• Who is visceral manipulation suited for?
• What can you expect when going for massage therapy that is focused on visceral manipulation and myofascial release?
• What is polyvagal theory?
• What role does the vagus nerve play in digestion?
• Regulating vagus nerve function
• Tips on how to shift your nervous system into ventral vagus in order to improve/assist digestion and digestive symptoms like constipation.
• Ways to stimulate the vagus nerve to increase vagal tone.
