Here’s something that blows most people’s mind: your skeleton isn’t a “static frame.” It’s living tissue—constantly renewing itself. In fact, most of the adult skeleton is replaced about every ~10 years through a process called bone remodeling. How does that happen? Your body runs a beautiful 2-team system: - Osteoclasts = the “cleanup crew” that breaks down old or stressed bone - Osteoblasts = the “builders” that lay down fresh new bone This doesn’t happen randomly—it happens on purpose. Bone is remodeled so you can: - repair micro-damage from daily life - adapt to what you demand from your body (walking, lifting, posture, impact) - help regulate minerals like calcium and phosphorus And here’s the coolest part: your body renovates bone in small zones, like a construction site moving around your skeleton. A full remodeling cycle at a given spot takes on the order of months (often cited around ~3 months in many descriptions). So today, let this land in your nervous system: You are not stuck with the body you had last year. Your body is literally rebuilding you—quietly, faithfully—every day. Your job is simple: give it the signals and raw materials it needs. Strength work, protein, minerals, sunlight, sleep, and consistency. Drop a 🦴 in the comments if you’re choosing to support your “inner construction crew” today.

"Join Serena on Rue. Insurance or cash pay — GLP-1s may cost less than you think."And right underneath that?"Go ahead and inject yourself too." I honestly had to pause. This is the kind of messaging I believe should be illegal — suggesting that because a well-known athlete is using weight loss injections, you should too. It’s subtle, but powerful marketing... and incredibly misleading. Most women I talk to aren’t struggling because they haven’t injected themselves yet. They’re struggling because no one ever taught them how their hormones, stress, metabolism, and lifestyle interact — especially after 40. They’re struggling because the system isn’t designed to support real healing — just quick fixes and prescriptions. And I get it — when you're stuck, desperate, and feeling betrayed by your own body... this kind of ad hits hard. But here’s the truth: Your body is not broken. You are not lacking a drug. You just need a plan that works with your biology — not against it. Curious what your thoughts are on this. Have you seen ads like this? How do they make you feel? Let’s talk. — Dr. Cody

One of the most inspiring “silent miracles” in your body is your lymphatic system — a whole-body cleansing and recycling network that works without a pump. Your heart has its own engine. Your lymph relies on your movement, your breath, and your nervous system state. Here’s the beauty of how it operates: • It’s your body’s drainage + immune highway. It collects excess fluid, cellular waste, and inflammatory byproducts from tissues, then routes them through lymph nodes where immune cells “scan, filter, and respond.” • It moves when you move. Every step, stretch, squat, and shoulder roll acts like a gentle squeeze on lymph vessels, pushing fluid forward through one-way valves. Your body literally designed “motion” as medicine. • Breathing is a lymph superpower. Deep diaphragmatic breathing changes pressure in the chest and abdomen, helping pull lymph upward and forward—like a natural internal suction system. • It protects you without panic. When your lymph is flowing well, your body can clear, adapt, and recover with less drama. When it’s sluggish (often from stress + stillness), you can feel puffy, heavy, foggy, or “stuck.” So if you want a simple morning practice that honors your biology, try this for 2 minutes: 1. 10 slow belly breaths (hand on belly, inhale through nose, long exhale) 2. 30 seconds of gentle bouncing or marching 3. Shoulder circles + neck rolls (easy, not aggressive) 4. A glass of water to support the fluid system you’re asking to move Let this be the reminder: your body isn’t confused. It’s brilliantly engineered. And when you give it circulation, breath, and calm, it knows exactly what to do. 💧
