ENDOCRINE SYSTEM TREATMENT
​
Kinesiology looks at a person’s whole System: Body, Mind and Spirit.
One of the most often-overlooked Systems, but one which plays a major part in our well-being is the Endocrine System.
The Endocrine System is a complex network of glands and organs. It uses hormones to control and coordinate the body's metabolism, energy levels, reproduction, growth and development, response to injury, stress, and mood.
Using Kinesiology, Karin will test which hormones need correcting. In this respect, Kinesiology covers all ages, and both men and women.

​
WHAT ARE HORMONES?
​
Hormones are molecules that are produced by the endocrine glands. The body has a number of different endocrine glands, and they differ depending on if you are a male or a female. These are: Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Pineal, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Thymus, Adrenals, Gonads (male), Ovaries (female), Pancreas & Spleen.
​
The term ‘endocrine’ refers to the system of making and releasing hormones, through secretion into the bloodstream and lymph. These hormones go on to control the actions of other target cells and organs.
There are many different types of hormones including: steroids, amino acids and proteins. Each individual hormone type has a contrasting size and chemical property, and they differ in the way in which they modulate the activity of their target cells.
​
​
WHAT IS THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM'S FUNCTION?
​
The endocrine system and hormones have many roles in the body, these include:
​
-
Digestion
-
Growth
-
Homeostasis (they need to keep a constant internal balance)
-
Metabolism
-
Mood
-
Repair
-
Reproduction
-
Sexual function
​
To maintain the body’s homeostasis, hormone production and secretion are tightly controlled by several hormones which regulate each other. In this way, the endocrine system is truly integrated, if there is an imbalance of hormones in one area, this can cause an imbalance in the whole body.
If the endocrine system is out of kilter, there is either an excess or deficient level of hormones in the body.
These are some of the signs and symptoms you may experience if your hormones are imbalanced:
​
-
Slow or rapid heartbeat
-
Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
-
Fatigue
-
Constipation
-
Depression or anxiety
​​
There are also numerous problems which can occur as a result of this, including:
​
-
Diabetes - which is usually a result of too much sugar in the blood, caused by problems with insulin production. This includes Type 1 diabetes (deficiency of insulin) and Type 2 diabetes (initially excessive, then a deficiency of insulin).
-
Menstruation abnormalities - this can lead to irregular menstruation or a lack of menstruation, which can affect a woman’s fertility levels.
-
Thyroid problems – this gland can be overactive or under-active, causing symptoms affecting weight gain and energy levels.
