Thank you for your work! Its really great! I would like to hear a deep dive into the lymphatic system. As a medical lymph therapist Im amazed how litle doctors know about it, to the point that they do not recognize a lymph edema

In the discussion on the Huberman Lab, Andrew Huberman explores the concept of the glymphatic system, which is crucial for clearing debris surrounding neurons in the brain, especially highlighted during sleep. This system, akin to a sewer system, is particularly active during slow-wave sleep. It aids in clearing waste that accumulates around neurons and their supporting glial cells. This clearance is vital for the repair of connections between neurons, particularly after injuries like traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Thus, maintaining adequate sleep, with sufficient slow-wave sleep, is crucial for optimal glymphatic function and overall neurological health 1.

While this covers the glymphatic system in the context of brain health, it highlights the importance of similar clearance systems, though not specifically the peripheral lymphatic system. The peripheral system is involved in transporting and filtering lymph—a clear fluid with white blood cells—to help rid the body of toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. The lymphatic system plays a critical role in immune function and maintaining fluid balance, aspects often overlooked in routine clinical practices, potentially explaining why lymphedema is sometimes underrecognized in clinical settings.
