Ep 136: Boobs, Lymph Flow and Why It Matters with Chelsey Jean
What if better health wasn’t about doing more but about listening better?
In this episode of the Health Leader Podcast, Christine Knox sits down with Chelsea Jean, therapist, educator, and founder of Chelsea Jean Lymphatics, for a conversation that challenges how we understand the lymphatic system, the body, and modern healthcare.
With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Chelsea brings a grounded, no-nonsense perspective that blends clinical expertise, business leadership, and large-scale impact. She shares why the lymphatic system is one of the most overlooked drivers of inflammation, immunity, detoxification, and overall vitality, and why so many health professionals were never taught how to work with it properly.
You’ll hear why lymphatic health isn’t a short-term detox trend but a daily hygiene practice, much like brushing your teeth. When lymph flow is compromised, waste builds up, inflammation increases, and the body struggles to regulate itself. This often shows up as fatigue, swelling, brain fog, pain, or chronic health issues - even when blood tests say “fine.”
One of Chelsea’s biggest mindset shifts for therapists: lymphatic work starts at the chest, not the feet or legs. With hundreds of lymph nodes acting as filtration points, opening the upper body first dramatically improves outcomes. She also debunks the myth that lymphatic therapy must always be feather-light, explaining how confident, informed pressure combined with clear education can transform treatment results.
Chelsea’s education-first approach has created massive impact. Programs like Boob Camp have empowered over 22,000 women worldwide to support their own lymphatic health, proving that true change comes from teaching clients, not creating dependency. Beyond technique, this episode explores leadership, practitioner confidence, and how health professionals can scale their impact by guiding clients with knowledge, not just touch.
