Aspects of Health — Biological Perspective · 5 min readDiabetes - Is this excess glucose in the blood or more than this?
How Much Glucose Does the Body Really Need? And how far can the normal regulatory system accommodate excess before blood glucose begins to rise persistently? What is the physiological requirement for glucose in a human being, and what happens when glucose availability persistently exceeds that requirement?

Much of our knowledge has been built by studying individual components of a complex system. The challenge now is to understand how those components interact over time, including the adaptations that occur as the system responds to persistent disturbance.

Physiology Behind Mental Disorders · 5 min readWhen Physiology Whisper: To Brain or Mind ?
The fact that a mechanism has not yet been established does not mean that the mechanism is absent. In complex biological disorders, some mechanisms may remain unknown, understudied, or insufficiently tested. Ion pumps and ion channels are fundamental regulators of neuronal excitability, intracellular signaling, and gene expression; therefore, disturbances in ionic regulation may contribute to the development and maintenance of mental disorders. Establishing the precise contribution of this mechanism remains a scientific task rather than a reason to dismiss it.

Aspects of Health — Biological Perspective · 5 min readA Different Way to View Obesity
Obesity can be viewed not simply as excess weight, but as excessive accumulation of stored energy.It is not stored energy itself that steals years from life; it is the chronic accumulation of excess stored energy and the metabolic and organ dysfunction that can follow. Changing the source of dietary energy is not the same thing as simply reducing the numerical amount of energy consumed. Calories quantify energy; metabolic substrates determine how that energy is handled.

The nervous system is not an isolated system. It is living tissue that depends continuously on the rest of the body to maintain its structure and function. Therefore, neurological disorders can arise not only from problems within the nervous system itself, but also when disturbances elsewhere in the body disrupt the conditions required for normal neural function.

The person may appear well for years because the brain is compensating. The vulnerability is there, but it is being successfully contained. At some point, the biological demands placed on the system exceed its ability to maintain stability.
