Wendy LeBlanc‑Arbuckle is an international leader in embodied movement with forty years of collaboration across Pilates, yoga, Structural Integration, somatic arts and sciences, breathwork, embryology, and energy medicine. Her new book, Moving Beyond Core: A Somatic Exploration Through Whole Body Relationships, reframes “core” as a relationship rather than a location — a coordinated dialogue with gravity, space, and the body’s innate bio-intelligence.

In this conversation, Wendy and Sue explore how embryology reveals our earliest support systems, why partnering with gravity changes everything, and how body schema helps people move from performing to sensing. They discuss nasal breathing as a fluid fascial awareness, Continuum as a portal into embryonic wisdom, and Wendy’s decades of work with pioneers like Jaap van der Wal, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Emilie Conrad, and others.

Sam Miller is a posture coach and founder of Posture Dojo. Diagnosed with severe congenital kypho‑scoliosis as a teenager, he was told surgery was too risky and that he should “live with it.” After a full physical collapse at 33, Sam spent eight years rebuilding his body through neurosomatic practice and research — regaining two inches of height without surgery or bracing.

Sam teaches the Syntropic Core method, built on one premise: posture is an output, and the nervous system’s hidden map is the source. Stretching, strengthening, and adjusting target the output. The map stays the same. In this conversation, Sam and Sue explore how breath, vision, jaw tension, ground contact, and safety states reorganize posture from the inside out. They also discuss his global Posture Dojo community, where thousands learn how to update the map rather than fight the output.

Fascia, Terminology & The Living Body — Hans and Axel Bohlin

The Global Push to Define Fascia — Inside the Debate Shaping How We Understand the Body’s Living Network

In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue Hitzmann sits down with Hans Bohlin and his son Axel, the team behind Fascia Innovation Sweden, Fasciaguiden, FasciaClinics, and the Life Force Innovation Foundation. Their work spans treatment technology, equine and human fascia education, documentary filmmaking, international conferences, and a rapidly growing research database — all built around one mission: making fascia science accessible to the public.

This conversation moves through the tension between the IFAA terminology and the 2025 Journal of Anatomy proposal, the challenge of communicating fascia research to the media, and the global differences in how countries like Sweden and Japan approach fascia literacy. Hans and Axel share stories from treating over 100,000 people and 100,000 horses, producing two major documentaries (Fascia: The Network of the Body Without Beginning or End and The Living Body: We Need to Talk About Fascia), and hosting more than 200 podcast episodes.

The discussion is wide‑ranging, sometimes circular, and full of big questions about:

• how fascia should be defined
• why terminology matters
• what the public still misunderstands
• how technology and clinical practice intersect
• why horses became early adopters
• how films can shift scientific communication
• what global fascia initiatives reveal
• where fascia research is heading next

If you’re interested in fascia research, scientific communication, or the future of how we understand the living body, this episode offers a candid look inside a rapidly evolving field.

Real healing begins not with reliving your trauma, but by teaching your body it has already survived. Why do so many people feel stuck in an on-edge state, even years after crisis?

In this richly human episode, Sue Hitzmann sits down with renowned trauma therapist Tara Miller for a grounded look at nervous system regulation, resilience, and what truly helps us recover in challenging times.

Discover why our baseline stress levels remain higher post-pandemic, how chronic freeze or fight responses play out in both kids and adults, and why “regulation” is so much more than a wellness buzzword. Tara Miller explains self regulation therapy and shares how tools like the Super Patch can subtly support the body’s natural ability to heal. Whether you work with trauma, feel stuck in stress, or just want to be more present, this conversation delivers both deep insight and practical steps to start changing your story—by starting at the end.

Being willing to accept uncertainty as a therapist can radically improve outcomes—and sometimes the best thing we can do is to question the very models we rely on. What actually happens during a "release"? Can techniques truly reset the nervous system, or are we selling neat explanations that oversimplify a complex reality?

In this episode, Sue Hitzmann sits down with Ruth Duncan—founder of In Touch Education and author of A Massage Therapist's Guide to Pain, Touch and Perception—to bust myths around fascial release, the limits of polyvagal theory, and branded modalities that may sound scientific but lack deep evidence. Ruth Duncan shares what neuroscience and pain science have taught her about why touch works (and when it doesn’t), the subtle dangers of “magic language,” and why therapist self-awareness and honest communication are as important as any particular hands-on technique.

Key highlights include: the placebo/nocebo power of expectations, the actual mechanisms behind pain and tissue sensitivity, how trauma really shows up in therapy, and why complexity—not certainty—should guide modern hands-on practitioners.

Get ready for a generous, deeply practical conversation that balances research, clinical wisdom, and the real human experience.

In this episode, Sue welcomes Dr. Shawn Talbott, a nutritional biochemist, psycho‑nutritionist, endurance athlete, and one of the leading voices redefining how we understand the microbiome and the gut‑brain‑heart axis.

Aging research has transformed in the last five years — and Dr. Shawn is at the center of that shift. His work shows that the microbiome isn’t just about digestion; it’s the control center for mood, stress, inflammation, metabolism, resilience, and long‑term vitality.

Together, Sue and Dr. Shawn dive into:

• Why the gut‑brain‑heart axis is now the core framework for aging

• How microbiome composition shapes mental fitness and emotional resilience

• The biochemical drivers of stress, mood, and metabolic health

• What determines whether we age with resilience or decline

• Practical ways to support the microbiome for better energy, focus, and longevity

This is a conversation about the future of aging — interconnected, biochemical, and surprisingly accessible.

About Dr. Talbott: As a scientist (PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from Rutgers) and entrepreneur (EMP in Entrepreneurship from MIT), his recent projects include two academic textbooks, an award-winning documentary film, several best-selling books translated into multiple languages, and numerous top-selling nutraceuticals and functional foods.3WavesWellness.comhttps://www.instagram.com/doctalbott/https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctalbott/

In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue sits down with Dr. Yi Song, a physician trained in pathology at Brown University and raised in a 17‑generation lineage of Traditional Chinese Medicine. After decades of clinical work, Dr. Song now leads the Zenerchi Retreat in Colombia, where she blends stem cell therapy, TCM, anti‑aging science, and emotional health into a truly integrative approach to longevity.

Together, Sue and Dr. Song explore:

• Why healthy aging begins with prevention, not repair

• How stem cell therapy actually works — and why it’s misunderstood

• The deep connection between mental health, emotional patterns, and cellular repair

• What modern medicine can learn from ancient longevity wisdom

• Why personalized, root‑cause care is the future of regenerative medicine

Dr. Song’s philosophy, The Regeneration Effect, invites us to rethink aging as something we can influence — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

This conversation is a bridge between science and spirit, East and West, and the inner and outer forces that shape how we age.

Fresh off the Lake Nona Impact Forum — one of the most influential gatherings in health, wellness, and medical innovation — Sue sits down with poet, spiritual director, and cultural strategist Marquis Hunt, founder of G6‑22, a global movement built on a powerful idea: the world is not shaped in the rare moments of ritual, but in the six days and 22 hours where we actually live, choose, and create. His concept of money sobriety reframes our relationship with worth, identity, scarcity, and the emotional stories we inherit around money.

Sue reflects on her time at LNIF, where she led a MELT Morning Reset alongside world‑shaping speakers including Serena Williams, Gary Brecka, Juju Chang, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Patrick Kennedy, Emma Heming Willis, Jon Batiste, and many others. The standout moment came from Dr. David Fajgenbaum, whose groundbreaking work in repurposing treatments for cancer and rare diseases earned him this year’s Impact Award — a story that has inspired Sue since they first met three years ago.

That same year, Sue also met today’s guest, Marquis Hunt, whose work continues to challenge and expand how we think about creativity, culture, and the choices that shape our lives.

In this conversation, Sue and Marquis explore:

• Why money sobriety is really about identity, belonging, and emotional truth

• How culture is built in the everyday moments where choices accumulate

• Why creativity is not a luxury but a force that shapes the future

• How G6‑22 equips innovators and visionaries to sustain their work

• What it means to live awake in the six days and 22 hours outside of ritual

This episode is an invitation to rethink money, creativity, and culture through a lens that is honest, liberating, and deeply human.

What if movement isn’t something we do — but something we’re in relationship with? In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue sits down with Peter Stuart, a movement educator and somatic practitioner whose work bridges fascia, emotion, and the deeper intelligence of the human body.

Peter has spent decades exploring how we move, why we move the way we do, and how the stories we carry shape our physical expression. His approach blends anatomy, awareness, and the subtle art of listening to the body’s internal landscape.

Together, Sue and Peter dive into:

• Why movement is fundamentally relational — with gravity, with environment, with emotion

• How fascia shapes not just structure, but perception and behavior

• The ways the body stores memory and how movement can unlock it

• What practitioners often miss when they focus on technique instead of connection

• How to cultivate somatic intelligence in a world that pulls us out of our bodies

• Why healing requires curiosity, not perfection

• The future of movement education and the role of embodiment in human evolution

Peter’s insights remind us that the body is not a machine — it’s a living, adaptive, expressive system in constant conversation with everything around it.

What is consciousness and where is it processed? We know that neuronal microtubules—those hollow tubes inside neurons—are central to intracellular transport, polarity, and possibly quantum coherence. Dr. Hameroff's Orch OR theory suggests they may host quantum processes that give rise to conscious moments.But here’s the twist: fibroblasts, the cells embedded in fascia and the extracellular matrix, also contain microtubules. These aren’t quantum processors in the Orch OR sense, but they’re deeply involved in mechanotransduction—how cells sense and respond to mechanical forces, biochemical signaling that regulates microtubule polymerization, depolymerization, and interaction with motor proteins. And, while the ECM doesn't have microtubules, under a microscope, the collagen fibrils looks like microtubules - a mirror of one another to express connection and potentially quantum entanglement. Could fascia and ECM act as a resonant field, modulating the quantum spark of neuronal microtubules? Could consciousness be not just a brain-bound phenomenon, but a full-body experience—a symphony of coherence between structure and vibration?That’s the inquiry I’m bringing to you today by asking four pioneering educators about their idea of life, consciousness, and quantum processes still being discovered today. Joining in on this round table discussion is Dr. Stuart Hameroff, Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau, Dr. Carol M. Davis, and John Sharkey to talk about this topic and see if there's a link that we haven't considered about consciousness as a whole-body process. Enjoy!
