In this expansive episode of Compromised to Alchemized, I am joined by Rafael McMaster—artist, educator, and visionary founder of the non-profit Indivisible Arts.

On this special episode, I’m sharing a conversation I had as a guest on the Hydrate Podcast with Tracy Duhs. We explore the often-overlooked root causes of chronic pain and why traditional stretching and strengthening often fails to provide lasting relief.

For nearly two decades, I have studied how tension forms in the body long before pain ever appears. In this episode, I describe my Phase Shift work—a unique bodywork approach that looks at embryology, fascia, and the nervous system to unlock rigid, or frozen areas of the body by returning to their origin.

0:00 | Introduction

20:02 | Phase Shift Work: Unlocking hardened areas (like a stuck sacrum or tight calves) by addressing the developmental origin of the tension.

25:03 | The 60% Statistic: Why an estimated 60% of people now struggle with tongue ties or airway issues compared to previous generations.

30:10 | Chewing for Development: How our modern liquid/soft diet contributes to narrow palates and why chewing is vital for enzymatic activation and detoxification.

56:29 | The Diaphragm/Kidney Connection: The diaphragm forms in the throat around week 5. If a tongue tie is present, it creates a "spiral of restriction" that binds the right side of the diaphragm and the right kidney in nearly 99% of cases.

58:12 | The Tongue Press: A breakdown of my daily routine, including vocalizations and "tongue meditation" to free the floor of the mouth and ground the nervous system.

1:02:22 | The "Floor of Four": My distilled system focusing on the four main areas—head, throat, sides, and feet—that can trigger a total body phase shift when unlocked.

1:04:47 | Tongue Meditation
