Inner Body Systems

The Nervous System

Your nervous system is the master communication network of your body. It sends, receives, and interprets messages that control nearly every function — from muscle movement to mood regulation.

This section includes:

  • The Brain – Your central control center, responsible for memory, movement, decision-making, and emotion

  • The Sympathetic Nervous System – Activates your "fight or flight" response in times of stress or danger

  • The Parasympathetic Nervous System – Supports "rest and digest" processes like relaxation and healing

  • The Vagus Nerve – A major nerve connecting the brain to organs; regulates digestion, heart rate, and calm

  • Nervous System + Stress – Overview of how stress affects regulation and long-term health

The Immune System

Your immune system is your body’s internal defense system, constantly working to protect you from threats — both real and perceived.

This section includes:

  • Sensitivity vs. Allergy – What’s the difference between a true allergy and an immune sensitivity?

  • Histamine – A natural chemical with roles in digestion, inflammation, and allergy response

  • Immune Reactivity – How the body responds to stressors like mold, food, or chronic infections

    Linked Concepts:
    → Mast Cells + Inflammation
    → Autoimmunity + Overreaction

The Digestive System

Digestion is more than breaking down food — it's about absorption, communication with the brain, and immune regulation.

This section includes:

  • Digestive Organs – Key anatomy like the stomach, intestines, pancreas, and gallbladder

  • Gut-Brain Axis – How the brain and gut communicate through nerves, hormones, and microbes

  • The Microbiome – Your internal ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes

  • Food Sensitivity vs. Allergy – How to tell the difference and why it matters

  • Parasites – Common types, symptoms, and how they affect gut health

  • Linked Concepts:
    → Leaky Gut
    → Gut-Immune Connection

The Urinary System + Detox

The kidneys and liver are essential for filtering toxins, regulating fluids, and maintaining internal balance.

This section includes:

  • Kidneys – Regulate blood pressure, hydration, and waste removal

  • Liver – Processes chemicals, hormones, and toxins for safe elimination

  • Detox Pathways – How your body naturally clears out what it doesn't need

    Linked Concepts:
    → Detox Reactions
    → Supportive Herbs + Nutrients

The Lymphatic System

Often overlooked, your lymphatic system plays a huge role in immunity, inflammation, and daily detox.

This section includes:

  • Lymph Nodes + Vessels – Circulate immune cells and remove waste from tissues

  • Fascia + Drainage – How body movement and hydration support lymph flow

  • Lymphatic Stagnation – What happens when things slow down, and how to support it

    Linked Concepts:
    → Dry Brushing
    → Lymph Massage + Movement

The Muscular System

Your muscles don’t just support movement — they also impact posture, energy use, and physical regulation.

This section includes:

  • Proprioception – Your body’s internal GPS: sensing movement, balance, and spatial awareness

  • Posture – How alignment influences pain, breath, and mood

  • Connective Tissue Disorders – How hypermobility or tension can impact nervous and immune health

    → Movement as Regulation
    → Somatic Bodywork
