Intracorporeal Signaling

Intracorporeal signaling is a fancy term for the messages that are sent from your body, within your body, to your body. The avenues through which messages travel are diverse but also tightly interwoven. As a society we are barely crossing the threshold of understanding each individual messaging system, let alone how the systems interact with each other. The fact of this early stage knowledge deficit makes the frontier all the more exciting to explore. Here is just a smattering of topics within this realm:

  • Acid-base regulation
  • Autonomic nervous system
  • Biome (residents and visitors, friendly and unfriendly)
  • Cellular signals and membrane permeability
  • Connective tissue fluidity
  • Hormonal (endocrine) shifts
  • Hydration and electrolyte balance
  • Immunity and Inflammation
  • Metabolic efficiency
  • Musculoskeletal movement
  • Nutrients and biochemistry
  • Thermoregulation
  • Voluntary nervous system
