3 Minute Nonnegotiable Morning Habit

Lifestyle

Adding something simple to your daily routine can bring lasting positive health benefits.

If you know me, I’m all about one small change at a time, and this simple daily habit is something I recommend for most folks. The BIG 6™️ is by Dr. Perry at Stop Chasing Pain and it’s been a staple to my daily regimen since late 2023.

Your lymphatic system plays a key role in detoxifying your body, boosting immunity, and improving overall health. The BIG 6™️ by is an easy, gentle, and highly effective way to support your lymphatic system. By focusing on 6 key areas (done in a very specific order!), this method helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and promote the removal of toxins.

Here are some of the amazing benefits:

* Detoxification: Supports the natural elimination of toxins and waste from the body.

* Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow and reduces fluid retention, leading to less swelling and puffiness.

* Boosted Immunity: Helps stimulate lymphatic flow, getting nutrients into your tissues, giving your immune system a natural boost.

* Reduced Stress: Gentle, rhythmic movements promote relaxation and help calm the nervous system.

* Glowing Skin: By promoting better circulation and detoxification, your skin can appear more vibrant and healthy. ✨

The BIG 6™️ is done in this order 1-6, every time.

-Collarbone (below and above)

-Sides of the neck at C1/C2 just below the ear

-Pectoral/Axillary (shoulder joint)

-Abdomen

-Inguinal (groin crease)

-Popliteal (behind knees )

I’ve been doing this first thing upon awakening every day since December 2023, and I feel lighter, more energized, and refreshed. I recommend incorporating BIG 6™️ to so many of my patients for lasting health benefits! It’s my own daily nonnegotiable, and it only takes me about 3 minutes. Give it a try for 30 days and let me know how you feel! 

NOTE: This is not medical advice. There are some contraindications and this may not be appropriate for you. Additionally, given the detoxification effects, you may feel worse before you feel better. See details for more info.
