Dr. Amy is in Costa Rica for a medical missions trip this week! She was invited by her colleague, Dr. Rick from Houston. They have their room setup and ready to begin seeing patients tomorrow (Monday)! The group has vitamins divided up and ready to give out to all the patients. 😊

Brain scans reveal that expressing gratitude activates regions like the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate, areas responsible for decision-making, learning, and emotional regulation. These regions then release dopamine and serotonin, the brain’s “feel-good” chemicals, creating a feedback loop that reinforces happiness. The more you practice, the stronger the rewiring becomes, turning gratitude into a natural mood stabilizer.

Researchers have also found that gratitude reduces activity in the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, lowering stress responses and promoting calm. It can even improve sleep, enhance relationships, and boost immune function.

A Quick Look at which emotions can affect different organs - and vice versa, an organ struggling can cause some emotions. For example, a congested liver can cause some anger issues.

This is why the work we do is so impactful. When we can tap into the body and help the nervous system begin to let go of past traumas, new neural networks begin to form.

Your Body Remembers What Your Childhood Nervous System Felt

Researchers revealed a fascinating connection between our childhood experiences and our adult bodies. A new study shows that the patterns and signals formed by the nervous system in early life leave lasting imprints that continue to influence the way our bodies function decades later. These neural “memories” are not just in the brain—they are embedded in muscles, organs, and even immune responses, silently carrying the story of our earliest experiences.

The implications are profound. Childhood stress, trauma, or even nurturing environments can shape how we respond to stress, regulate emotions, and maintain physical health as adults. For instance, early exposure to chronic stress may affect heart rate, digestion, and immune resilience long after the triggering events have passed. Conversely, positive childhood experiences can strengthen neural pathways that support emotional stability, learning, and overall wellbeing.

This research challenges the long-held assumption that our adult bodies are entirely separate from our early experiences. Instead, it highlights a deeply interconnected system where mind and body continuously communicate, reminding us that healing and personal growth may involve more than just addressing the present, it may require understanding and nurturing the echoes of our past.

By recognising that our bodies carry the story of our childhood nervous system, we gain new tools for health, self-awareness, and emotional resilience. Every ache, tension, or reaction may hold a clue about the life we lived and the ways we can shape a healthier future.
