Your Body Is Speaking

Deep inside you, embedded in the inner part of your adrenal glands, sits a tiny tissue carrying a remarkable task: the adrenal medulla is your body's emergency dispatch centre. When something frightens, threatens, or overwhelms you, this tissue releases adrenaline and noradrenaline within seconds — the substances that make your heart beat faster, widen your pupils, raise your blood pressure, accelerate your breathing, and supply your muscles with the fuel for fight or flight.
