EP140: Fascia, Uncovering The Keys To Greater Health & Performance ft. Brooke McPoyle

The DEEP Life

This week on The DEEP Life we are joined by Brooke McPoyle for an epic dive into the world of fascia and its connection to our breath, nervous system, consciousness, and overall health & wellness.

Fascia is one of those things that many of us have heard about, maybe we’ve foam rolled a bit or had a deep fascial massage, but very few people actually understand the extent of its importance and the role it plays in all aspects of our health & wellness.

That is exactly what we get into throughout this conversation as Brooke shares her insights and expertise into the science, structure, and functions of our fascia, as well as why she recommends that we make regular fascial hygiene as common as brushing our teeth.

We also get into the nervous system, the breath, and the interconnectedness of all of them in

reducing stress, optimizing our health, slowing down the aging process, and becoming superhuman.

Brooke is a multifaceted professional with a unique journey bridging diverse disciplines. Beginning her training in classical singing at the age of 12, she developed a deep understanding of breath control and physiology—an expertise that later intertwined with her pursuits in athletics and holistic health. After excelling in Division 1 college golf tournaments, she confronted the challenges of managing adrenaline and performance anxiety, which ultimately redirected her focus towards natural health and wellness.

In 2016, Brooke co-founded a groundbreaking Health Center in Delray Beach, blending her passions for natural medicine and education. Here, she pioneered breathwork techniques, drawing parallels between breathing patterns, brain waves, fascia, and the nervous system—a revelation stemming from her diverse interests as a beekeeper, musician, painter, and gardener.

Her journey led to a profound thesis: the intricate interplay between breath, fascia, and nervous system function. This discovery fuels her mission to empower individuals worldwide with practical tools to manage stress and optimize well-being. Driven by her belief in early education, she strives to integrate this knowledge into mainstream wellness practices, ensuring future generations can harness these insights from an early age.
