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?

Our brain doesn’t determine it. It’s just the way we and our ancestors evolved over hundreds of millions of years. The vast majority of our functions are unconscious. We could speculate that evolution didn’t lead to significant control over functions because sophisticated brains were very late in the evolutionary process.
