If poor circulation is at the root of aging and illness…
then the question becomes, how do we boost it?
How do you get more oxygen to your tissues?
Simple: increase circulation.
So, how do you increase circulation?
- Move daily. Your blood vessels are designed to expand and contract with movement.
- Massage & fascial release. Free up the restrictions that slow lymph and blood flow.
- Vessel dilation. Herbs and nitric oxide (NO) support expansion.
- Vessel integrity. Keep your tissues supple and resilient through consistent motion.
- Regulate histamine. So blood doesn’t just pool in one area but flows where it’s needed most.
Movement is medicine and circulation is your lifeline.
Ancient medicine understood circulation well.
Thousands of years ago, Chinese Medicine described disease as blockages in Qi and Blood flow.
Today, science describes the same thing but in terms of ion balance, oxygenation, and cellular communication.
Qi = the movement of ions and energy between cells.
Blood = the delivery system for oxygen and nutrients.
Without enough ions (sodium, potassium) and minerals (magnesium, iron) the body becomes “blood deficient.”
Anemia is a modern version of this.
Fatigue and muscle weakness? Classic signs of “Qi deficiency.”
The Hidden Sign of Poor Circulation: Gut Dysfunction
One of the most common and overlooked signs of poor circulation is gut issues.
When you’re stuck in fight or flight, blood is shunted to your limbs, not your digestive system.
Add in fast eating and poor chewing, and your gut ends up under-fueled and inflamed.
Sometimes, it’s not about another stool or SIBO test it’s about getting blood flow back to your abdomen.
That’s where abdominal and visceral massage come in
They’re powerful, practical tools for restoring gut circulation, reducing bloat, and improving digestion.
Since there aren’t many practitioners offering this, I’m on a mission to teach you how to do it yourself.
Coming Up This Week
- Tomorrow: My interview with Brad Pitzele on EWOT (Exercise With Oxygen Therapy) dives into how oxygen supplemented training can transform workout recovery and energy production.
- Thursday: I’ll share a simple DIY visceral massage technique to help you boost blood flow to your core before the holidays hit.
- Next Wednesday: Dr. Nathan S. Bryan joins me to unpack the truth about nitric oxide, and why most NO supplements don’t actually work for circulation and what to do instead.
Your longevity depends on your flowof oxygen, and nutrients in the bloo.
Here’s to great circulation,
Dr. Jannine Krause
