Detox Pathways, Lymphatics, and Radical Ownership: Freddie Kimmel on Impact Your Fitness Podcast

When you listen to Freddie Kimmel talk about healing, you get the sense he’s been through more in a decade than most people do in a lifetime. On the latest episode of the Impact Your Fitness podcast, host Jennifer Schwartz sits down with Freddie—bioregulation expert, survivor, and all-around human guinea pig—to dig into the body’s lesser-known superpower: the lymphatic system.

Right out of the gate, Freddie drops a truth bomb on the world of wellness: there are no shortcuts. Sure, technology can give our bodies a little boost (think pulsed electromagnetic fields or direct current devices), but none of it sticks if you skip the basics. “We use tech that amplifies a biological pathway,” he says, “but you’ve got to show up and do the work.”

Freddie knows plenty about doing the work. He’s survived metastatic cancer, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and autoimmune chaos. Those years of struggle turned him into a walking encyclopedia of embodied knowledge—and a passionate advocate for radical ownership of our health. He’s not just about theory; he’s lived it, and now he guides others from the trenches.

This episode’s focus is on the lymphatic system, the body’s unsung detox hero. Freddie’s own journey with lymphatic health began after a major surgery for cancer that left his lymph nodes compromised and, as he puts it, “80 surgical clips in my belly.” Nobody told him about the importance of the lymphatic system until much later, when a call with Flowpresso founder Desiree changed everything. The connection was instant. Today, Freddie is Flowpresso’s Head of Innovation, helping bridge the gap between high-tech solutions and the ancient wisdom of the body’s design.

Jennifer shares how introducing Flowpresso technology at her studio transformed client outcomes—especially in areas like hormone regulation and deep relaxation. One staff member saw her lifelong menstrual issues dramatically improve after regular sessions. Clients emerge from treatments saying “I love you,” so profound is the sense of safety and calm.

But Freddie’s favorite lymphatic fact? There’s three times as much lymphatic fluid in our bodies as blood, yet no pump to move it. Movement, breath, and a calm nervous system are essential for flow. “The breath is really what massages those deep structures,” he notes. It’s not flashy or fast, but it’s foundational—which circles back to his message: there are no hacks, only habits.

The episode closes with a reminder that real change comes from learning, experimenting, and taking charge of your own health. Freddie and Jennifer both embody that spirit, blending curiosity, science, and a lot of heart. If you’re tired of chasing magic bullets and ready to get serious about your body’s real potential, this episode is a must-listen.
