How does our brain determine what functions of the body we are allowed to control and what remains unconsciously controlled? E.g. Why can’t we direct our body to pump itself full of adrenaline or burn off certain areas of fat on the body?

Stuff like adrenaline can be released using Wim Hof style breathing. That’s been fairly well established. Breathing and meditation style techniques can also be used to do the opposite and relax you.

The body doesn’t really have any mechanism to target fat loss. The circulatory nature of how the the body works, means it’s not possible to spot reduce fat.
