Takeaways
- In Chinese medicine we call the Liver the master organ because it's really responsible for most of the functions in your body including blood purification, detoxification of drugs and toxins and also detoxifies the toxins that are produced by your body itself. Your liver also produces a lot of enzymes, produces bile, so it's responsible for a lot of your digestion, hormone production, protein production and it also helps with blood sugar storage and regulation. Not only that, it helps with immune cell activation and storage of vitamins and iron.
- Most people with anxiety do suffer with some level of adrenal fatigue. So if you have more inflammation in the body from a sluggish liver that means your adrenal glands have to work harder to produce cortisol, and so you basically burn your adrenal glands out even more. And with a cortisol imbalance that comes from adrenal fatigue you end up suppressing neurotransmitters such as GABA, serotonin, dopamine and melatonin - all related to anxiety and depression.
- Family constellation is a system of therapy where you look at the influence of past generations on your condition now. So you were born into a system, a family system, and that system carries ... basically it is affected by the behaviors of your grandparents and their great-grandparents because the behaviors of your great-grandparents affected how your grandparents behaved and your parents behaved, right? And all these behaviors influence the entire system.
