Your NerVous System Guides Everything.

The Central Nervous System, our own mycelial network, information superhighway. Compromised of both the brain and the spinal cord. It receives all sensory input and integrates all the information it receives. The Central Nervous regulates thoughts, emotions, behavior, and involuntary vital functioning.

Our Sympathetic Nervous System, otherwise known as our Fight or Flight is a facet of our Autonomic Nervous System. The reason why we survived as a speices is due to this system. When we experience stress, or sense a dangerous situation or threat our Sympathetic state is triggered acting very quickly to:

• raises your heartbeat

• dialates your pupils for enhanced vision

• exapands the airways to increase oxygen

• & redirects bloodflow while inhibiting digestion and reproductive activity whereas the Liver is stimulated to convert glycogen to glucose

The purpose of this system is to keep us safe and out of danger. The problem occurs when our nervous system gets stuck in this state almost like keeping your foot on the gas pedal for too long.

Our Parasympathetic Nervous System is also known as our “Rest and Digest” function in our Autonomic Nervous System. It directly counteracts the Sympathetic state. If the Sympathetic state is the gas pedal, conversely the Parasympathetic is our inner break pedal. This system was designed to conserve energy.

• Promotes digestion by incresing saliva production and aids nutrient absorbtion

• Slows the heart rate and decreases breathing rate

• Stimulates elimination pathways and arousal

• Regulates inflammation through the vagus nerve.
