Biceps Femoris and Commensal Bacteria
|
Aloha Reader, Upside-Down Pilates Join me for an anatomy minute! The biceps femoris is a two-headed muscle in the posterior (back) thigh (hamstring) that flexes the knee, rotates the lower leg outwardly, and extends the hip. It runs from the ischial tuberosity (buttock) and femur down to the fibula. Injuries, common in sprinting, cause pain behind the knee or buttock. Are you ready to be healthy and thrive? Would you love a personalized hand crafted program to go from sick and in pain to sexy and free?

These types of organisms are essential for immune training, barrier maintenance, and metabolic function. What does that mean for you? Your commensal organisms are critical for your health! You do not want to kill them off with things like antibiotics, pesticides such as glyphosate, or stress! If you are interested in building a healthy microbiome and learning how to feed your commensal bacteria for life long health consider investing in yourself and joining me for Upside-Down Nourishment or returning to Upside-Down Nourishment personalized programs, please fill out this form to see if we might be a good fit to work together.

Have a beautiful day! Lisa |
