Kinesiology is considered to be a complete form of complimentary wellness care.  It uses gentle muscle testing to look for, understand and aid in supporting any imbalance within the body.

Hormonal Challenges

​

The term 'hormonal imbalance' seems to be used many times to try to explain a multitude of symptoms and it can feel very confusing as to which way to turn.  Hormones dictate our bodily functions including; appetite, sleep patterns, how we respond to stress, whether we feel happy or upset, and how 'well' we feel.  

​

Tweens and Teens can find it a challenge to talk about their changing bodies.  So how do you know when moods and changes in appearance have gone beyond what is typical and may indicate a health issue?

​

There are symptoms which can provide signs towards a hormone imbalance or endocrine disorder, for teenagers and these include: 

​

• Increased sensitivity to cold or heat

• Constipation or more frequent bowel movements

• Dry skin

• Puffy or rounded face

• Unexplained weight loss

• Increased or decreased heart rate

• Muscle weakness

• Frequent urination

• Increased thirst

• Pain or stiffness in muscles or joints

• Hair loss or fine, brittle hair

• Increased hunger

• Depression or anxiety

• Blurred vision

• Sweating

• Purple or pink stretch marks

• Hot flashes

• Sugar cravings

• Fluid retention

• Headache

• Brain fog

• Insomnia

​

The endocrine system is a network of glands that produce and release hormones that help to control many important body functions.  Each gland releases specific hormones into your bloodstream. 

​

If just one of your glands is off balance it will have a knock on effect to the others and the upset to this delicate balance can lead to an endocrine disorder / hormonal challenge.
