Excessive Retinol Exposure and the Dysregulation of the TRPV1 and TRPA1 Sensory and Pain Receptors.
One notable consequence of impaired TRPV1 and TRPA1 signaling is altered sensory perception. These receptors are integral in detecting environmental stimuli and regulating our responses to them. When their function is compromised by retinol overload, individuals may experience heightened sensitivity to certain stimuli or a dulled perception of others, leading to disturbances in sensory processing.

The Impact of TRPA1 Receptors on Stress and Inflammation
Inflammation, an essential part of the body's defense mechanism, is tightly regulated by various molecular pathways. TRPA1 receptors have been identified as key players in mediating inflammatory processes. Upon activation, these receptors promote the release of inflammatory molecules, signaling the immune system to respond to perceived threats. However, when excessively activated, the inflammation becomes chronic or excessive, and can contribute to the development of inflamma

TRPV1 Receptors and our Stress Response
Research shows that chronic TRPV1 activation can worsen conditions such as anxiety disorders and chronic pain syndromes. Moreover, the continuous release of stress hormones like cortisol in response to persistent stimulation can disrupt the delicate balance of our endocrine system, leading to a range of health complications. These implications underline the importance of understanding stress modulation mechanisms in maintaining optimal health.

Food. How can something so simple have become so complex?
Our false security keeps us from asking the hard questions.
Why do I have this disease if I eat well and follow my doctor's advice? Genetics, trauma? Something in my history must be to blame. Instead of asking what is wrong with me that this has happened to me? Let's ask what in my environment has changed? The simple practice of fortification years ago now is proven to activate a group of newly discovered receptors that regulate pain, inflammation, immunity, and neurogenic i

Epigenetics - Our Environment Determines How Our Genes are Expressed.
Our dietary choices don’t just provide us with the energy to get through the day; they can also activate or deactivate specific genes. For instance, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can enhance gene expression related to health and wellness. Conversely, a diet high in processed foods with added chemicals that activate our stress response can lead to gene expressions associated with inflammation and illness.

Homeostasis and the Nervous System
At Tranquility Foods, we focus on the activation of two specific receptors in the nervous system that are essential for homeostasis, linking the brain and body. Through the spinal cord, they transmit signals to the brain about issues in the body. When activated, the brain triggers the stress response to promote inflammation and immune function for healing. However, continuous activation can damage nerve endings, impairing signal transmission and leading to chronic stress and
