Interconnected Biological Systems
TLDR - Your body is a complex, interconnected system. When troubleshooting a health problem, you can't focus on individual pieces. Everything impacts everything, and you need to consider the whole picture.
Expanded
Within the human body, all biological systems are interconnected, forming a complex and highly interwoven network. It's essential to look at the big picture rather than focusing on isolated pieces when troubleshooting health. One aspect of the body can directly or indirectly impact another, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to healing.
Interconnected Examples of Biological Processes
Biochemical Processes: We need a supply of nutrients for building blocks of biochemical processes, but if the levers that trigger these biochemical processes aren’t occurring at the right times, then issues can still occur.
Biophysics Processes: Grounding is a great way to supply the body with electrons, but disruptions in the body's structure or fascia may still create communication blockages.
Nervous System: Practicing mindfulness techniques can promote positive emotions, but without a nutrient dense diet, the body may lack the necessary building blocks for neurotransmitters that support these emotions.
Emotions: Emotional support practices are very valuable, but they may be less effective if the body is overwhelmed with toxins or other bodily stressors.
Circadian Rhythm: Maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm is important for good sleep. You can see the sun every single day and block blue light at night, but if your stress is not managed or you aren’t providing your body nutrients to build neurotransmitters to produce melatonin then you may still have sleep issues at night.
Striving for Homeostasis
When all these complex biological systems work together in harmony, we achieve homeostasis. When we have disruptions in homeostasis, then this is when health issues emerge.
There are many different health specialties and each believes their area is the most important and can solve all problems. It is essential to recognize that no single approach works in isolation and the big picture needs to be looked at. True healing requires a holistic perspective that considers the interplay of all biological systems and addresses root causes rather than just symptoms.
