Jesus. You guys are real stickers here. Obviously Im ignorant of the chemical and energetic nature of hormones and why certain emotions make us feel lighter or heavier but I also said in my original post to correct me. Youre not correcting me, youre answering a different question. You keep answering "how big of an influence does a certain hormone have on our overall bodies?"...which is not what Im asking here.
If I got you a coffee every day that was 99.5% coffee and .5% bleach..when I finally tell you a year later Ive been putting bleach in your coffee, would you keep on telling me its such a tiny amount it doesnt matter or doesnt have an effect on your overall chemistry? Or wpuld you be curious if the chronic tiny amount had any affect on your biology or cognitive processes? Even a small influence wouldnt make you curious how or why?
Im not asking for degrees of influence. Im asking if theres a way to calculate exactly how tiny that influence actually is. And so far..no one has said yes or no to that. I just googled that chemical structure of an adrenaline molecule so obviously it has a weight and mass..now Im still curious how the amount of adrenaline in someone with chronic stress or chronic illness compares to that of a happy healthy individual. Like when a doctor says a depressed person has "low" levels of serotonin: is that an assumption or is there math to show show that and measure the variances?
Ignore the comment about the earth being a closed system..its not important but my understanding was that its the universe that is the closed system, earth still needs the energy from sunlight to do what it does and for us to live..but I also see by googling just now that since earth doesnt give anything back to the universe in exchange for that, its considered a closed system. So my mistake regarding the lingo.
I couldn't find much studies on measuring or calculating hormone levels in people or how the physical properties of them may give some clarity on why certain emotions make us feel lighter vs heavier...so I thought a chemistry reddit would be an open friendly place to be curious and get some understanding. Instead Im getting downvotes and still no answer to either of my questions. Im over it.
