They can move it toward more coherent, useful, and adaptive change, or toward patterns that feel inconsistent, harmful, or stuck. When an adjustment produces adaptive change, the system moves toward regulation. Regulation reflects a

The body isn’t a set of isolated parts. It’s a living ecosystem made up of interconnected networks (neurological, hormonal, immune, metabolic, emotional, social) all in constant communication.
