Today, I’m going to share with you a very broad overview of your lymphatic system and all of the different tissue, organs, and elements involved in keeping this really, really important immune and detox process working optimally.
So, your lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that help balance your fluid. They help defend and support your body against an infection – so, any type of foreign invader, be it a pathogen or a virus or a bacteria – and the lymphatic system actually helps transport fat from your digestive process.
And I’m going to share with you, I’m a lymphatic specialist. That’s really a core part of my practice, working with individuals who have dysfunctions and disorders of the lymphatic system. So, this is a very, very broad view. I usually deep dive into this, but I’m really trying to keep it in a way that it’s going to give you a broad overview of all the different organs and ways the lymphatics support you. And then I’m going to share with you some tips on how to support it.
Your Lymphatic System Helps Your Immune System Fight Invaders
The lymphatic system also is a huge part of your immune system. And what it does is it actually helps to notify your system, notify your body, that there’s a foreign invader, and then it triggers this whole process to fight off the foreign invader. And it does this through the structure of the lymphatic system.
So, the lymphatic system has lymph vessels, very similar to your capillaries or your vascular vessels, but the lymphatic system is a lot thinner and it’s even more fragile, and there’s no pumping mechanism to the lymphatic system.
So, the heart pumps the cardiovascular system, but there’s no internal pump, specifically, to the lymphatic system. The arterial pressure from your vascular system, there’s a webbing, a connection, and that is the only thing that really forces things into the lymphatic system from a pumping mechanism. But externally, that’s one of the reasons why a lot of folks’ lymphatic systems get sluggish and get bogged down. We actually have to do things to motivate that system. They also, these little vessels, they are transporting white blood cells.
Swollen Lymph Nodes & Healthy vs. Unhealthy Lymph Fluid
They are also responsible for transporting the fluid of the lymphatic system, and we call it “lymph fluid.” And that lymph fluid, healthy fluid is going to be a kind of white, milky substance, very similar to like a watered-down yogurt. A congested lymph fluid is going to be thick and dense like cottage cheese. And when we’re talking about the lymphatic system… like the biggest vessel is as thick as a pen tip, you’ve got a cottage cheese consistency, it’s hard to get that moving.
So, those vessels connect into lymph nodes, these are lymph filters, so they filter lymphatic fluids. So, sometimes we’ll have swollen lymph nodes, because we’ve got thick lymph. And we also will get swollen lymph nodes because the white blood cells get powered up and we have lymphocytes. And we have certain lymph cells that respond to an invader that the lymph has notified the body is in existence.
The Role of the Spleen, Thymus Gland, and Bone Marrow
Then an organ that is connected to this whole process is your spleen. The spleen is a blood filter, but it also houses a lot of your lymphatic vasculature[1], meaning you have the lymph will notify, via foreign invader, and then the spleen starts to get engaged where the spleen removes damaged red blood cells. It also is going to try to remove foreign substances. So, I’ve had patients, and even myself, where you have a foreign invader and your spleen gets enlarged because the spleen is getting activated. So, part of that enlargement is an immune response, and it’s a lymphatic response mechanism.
And then we also have the thymus gland. So, that sits right here in between your chest, right at your breastbone. And the thymus is responsible for producing T-cells.[2] So, these are a particular form of white blood cells that fight infection. So, when the lymph notifies the body that there’s this foreign invader, things start to happen. The lymph nodes start to expand. We get white blood cell count that increases, spleen starts to get engaged, and then the thymus starts sending out the attack cells. So, that gets involved in the fight of an infection, or a bacterial exposure, or a viral invasion.
And then we have your bone marrow. So, the bone marrow sits inside your bone. It’s this kind of spongy tissue, and it creates new blood cells. And part of the new kind of cells it creates are lymphocytes. And these lymphocytes are a particular type of white blood cell and, specifically, are responsive to this immune state of an invasion, an infection, and they are going to be invigorated. So, it’s not uncommon when people get really sick that they do a bone marrow tap, and that’s to assess what’s going on with the lymphocytes, what’s going on with new blood cells.
And so overall, your lymphatic system is part of your capacity, your body’s own innate system to identify foreign invaders, and it will identify foreign bacteria or a harmful substance – maybe a yeast, a fungus, a Lyme-carrying bacteria, whatever it is, it gets invigorated. And so that’s one part of the lymphatic system.
Transporting Fat & Fat-Soluble Vitamins
The other part that is less noteworthy is that it transports fat, and it also picks up fat from the digestive process. And it does this through this whole transport mechanism. And it also carries fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system to the blood.
And this is really important because a lot of times when I’m working with patients that have reduction or a deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins, we need to address their lymphatic system. And it’s kind of a thought process or counterproductive to thinking that the lymphatic system is going to be a transport mechanism for vitamins, but it is.
How to Encourage Lymphatic Flow in Your Body
And it becomes really important that you look at doing things to move the flow. You can move and support your lymphatic flow by dry skin body brushing, by jumping on a rebounder, and gentle exercise, and getting your body sweating. Those are all powerful ways to support your lymphatic system gently.
And I have a whole bunch of great resources here in our catalog of blog articles where you can find out certain foods to eat, and even we have a great cleanse product that supports your lymphatic system. So, I really hope you check that out and think about everyday assorted ways of motivating your lymphatic system, because it is so important.
So, I’m excited to share with you just a broad overview of your lymphatics 101 and hope you understand a little bit more about this really important, often neglected, system. So, that’s my tip for you today. Just really love on your lymphatics and do things to motivate that flow, to support your fluid balance, enhance your immune state, and help you detox your body.

Video Transcript:
Today, I want to talk to you about the importance of supporting your lymphatic system, and if you are wondering what this particular system is, it is one of the most important body systems that controls both your immune state as well as your detoxification process.
I specialize in the lymphatic system. I am a naturopathic physician and I’m also a certified lymphatic expert. I actually teach and train doctors and nurses, PTs, and other medical professions on supporting and enhancing the lymphatic health of their patients.
Symptoms Indicating Your Lymphatic System Needs Support
I’m really excited to share with you, today, some of the ways of understanding and acknowledging the sign of what we call a sluggish lymphatic system. These are going to be symptoms that you probably are not going to put together in kind of a circle of assessment, but are all factoring into the state of your lymphatic health.
Fatigue, weight gain, having poor vascular flow – sometimes in the legs, or noticing varicose veins and spider veins – experiencing cellulitis, or even cellulite on your legs. Cellulitis is a skin-oriented infection. It’s actually an infection, also, that compromises the lymphatic system, but cellulite is part of the detox process of storing excess toxins in the kind of fat cells. Usually, women, and some men, will experience it in and around the legs, the flank, the hips, and the butt.
Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, digestive disorders, upper GI GERD, and lower GI, like constipation, are going to be signs of poorly functioning lymphatic systems. Also, weakened immunity, so if you frequently get colds and flus and are sick frequently or have a longer recovery time, that’s going to identify that the lymphatic system is slow to respond to the foreign invader. Also, cataracts or the presence of cataract development is a sign of a poorly, sluggish-functioning lymphatic system.
How the Lymphatic System Works
Overall, your lymphatic system, it very much looks similar to your vascular system. We actually have a lot of the same kind of terminology to the lymphatic system; like we have lymphatic vessels, we have lymphatic capillaries, we have valves, and we have a pumping mechanism that is very different than the cardio, the heart, the vascular system.
In the cardiovascular system, your heart is the main pumping system. The main pump to the system and promotes that process of clean, oxygenated blood moving to organs and, then, relieving the organs and removing toxin debris. There is a connection to your vascular system into your lymphatic system. If you have any cardiovascular impairment – maybe heart disease or congestive heart failure – that will directly impact the function of your lymphatic system. And if you don’t exercise, that will affect your lymphatic system because part of the pumping mechanism comes from the blood flow and the pumping of your blood, but also the movement of your muscles.

I am really, really excited to share… I could go full-on deep-dive into all of my lymphatic expertise with you, but I do want to share if you have any specific lymphatic impairments or challenges with your lymphatic system – maybe you hold more fluid or you notice you’re holding more fluid or retaining it, you have swelling or edema in your feet or your legs, maybe you experience swelling and puffiness in and around the eyes, the sinus cavity, maybe you have different lymph nodes – those are particular aspects of the lymphatic system.

There are assorted ways to do that. Again, I go through a massive deep-dive and checklists and assorted resources in my masterclass, and there’s an assortment of PDF downloads that you get access to.
Doctor-Recommended Ways to Promote Lymphatic Health
A few things that I love to recommend – exercising, gentle exercising, walking, good deep breathing exercises, and even jumping on a rebounder or a trampoline – are highly beneficial to promoting your lymphatic system. Getting a good sweat on is another way of promoting your lymphatic system.
In general, when individuals present with sluggish lymphatics, they also are going to have secondary- and tertiary-related conditions within the body. Sometimes that might be recurrent sinusitis or autoimmunity, or even just a sluggish digestive process. The best way to support your lymphatic system is to pump that system, get the blood flowing, and really, really enhance that process by hydrating well and taking supportive supplementation.

Take Control of Your Health
Lymphatically, generally speaking, most doctors are not even going to recognize or even diagnose a lymphatic disorder, and generally speaking, they learn about two sentences or maybe a half a paragraph, if you will, in their anatomy and physiology and that is it. Most clinicians that I teach and train that are working in the medical space in the hospitals or in their own clinics just don’t have a broad understanding of the lymphatic system. This is one of those systems and categories of wellness that we have to take the onus on ourselves to promote and to enhance.

Lowers Inflammation
And it even helps with your brain-based inflammation, which we’re seeing now with a lot of post-COVID infections. You don’t even have to qualify as a long COVID or a long hauler, but there are a lot of individuals that are still having residual inflammation and even patients that have auto-immunity or folks that have lymphedema or lipedema, or just overall notice they’re carrying more cellulite or excess weight. Those are all signs of an inflammatory state.
So, using Turmeric 3D allows you to harness the potency of turmeric, which has been heavily researched in its amazing power to lower inflammation markers in your body.

And vitamin D3 has a lot to do with your mental outlook. It is a hormone precursor. It’s a building block. It’s an ingredient for your body, balancing your stress levels, your reproductive hormone levels, and overall, every cell has receptivity to vitamin D.
