The relation to lungs and stored grief

In TCM, each organ system correlates with an emotion. For the lungs, that emotion is:

Grief & Sadness

The lungs are seen as the “tender organ” that governs breath, letting go, and our connection to life.

What it’s like living in fight or flight

Living in fight or flight or a state of hypervigilance is like having your body’s alarm system stuck in the “on” position. It’s not just an emotional experience—it’s a whole-body physiological state that affects your nervous system, hormones, immune function, digestion, and even your thoughts and relationships.

HPA Axis Dysregulation aka adrenal fatigue

The HPA axis (Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis) is your body’s core stress response system. It connects the brain (hypothalamus and pituitary) with the adrenal glands, which produce key stress hormones like cortisol, DHEA, epinephrine, and aldosterone.

Organic Produce-The dirty dozen and clean 15

The importance of eating organic produce to avoid harmful pesticide effects cannot be overstated. Pesticides used in conventional farming can pose health risks, particularly when exposure occurs over time. Studies have linked pesticides to various health concerns, including hormonal disruption, neurological damage, and even certain cancers.
