Kinesiology and Training

Afternoon slump avoidance. Also it does depend on what you are eating as well of course!

Ever wondered why you feel tired after a big lunch?

Here’s why and how to avoid it!

After a meal, the arteries widen so that the gut is ready to do it’s job at squeezing and extracting nutrients from the food. With this increase in blood comes a surge of hormones called cholecystokinin.

These hormones make you sleepy around 20 minutes to several hours after eating and that’s the plan! They’re designed to encourage you to rest and save your energy for digesting all that food.

How can you avoid the post-lunch slump, especially on those work days when you need to stay focused and alert?

Here are 3 ways to help:

1️⃣Keep it light - Have a light lunch with fewer carbs so that your gut only gets partially full and releases fewer sleep hormones

2️⃣Go outside a walk in the daylight so that your body knows it’s time to stay awake

3️⃣Sleep it off - if possible, you could do what the body is designed to do and have a nap! Just as it’s the norm in nature to sleep every 6-8 hours, it’s the norm for us as well…the siesta cultures have it right!

Now the heating is on, make sure you are keeping yourself hydrated!

A good measure of the body's hydration levels is the colour or your urine.

Going for gold isn’t good when it comes to your wee!

It’s a sign that your body needs more water.

And on the other side of the spectrum, did you know that CLEAR urine is a sign that your body is trying to get rid of excess fluid?

Dr Stuart Farrimond explains that once we see clear urine, the kidneys are having to work overtime and we may be on the way to fluid overload. The best thing to do is stop drinking because you are overhydrated.

Urine with a pale yellow colour is what to aim for; it's a sign that you are well hydrated.

With so much focus on staying hydrated, we thought this might help you measure how your body is doing.

Despite thinking we need to drink more, sometimes less is best!

Clinics running currently in Banstead Surrey and Bracknell Berkshire. Training courses - weekends from September and weekday courses from October !

📖 Client Story: From Fatigued to Flourishing

This client came to one of our practitioners feeling constantly tired, foggy-headed and frustrated. Despite several tests having been done, there had been no answers to explain the symptoms.

Using kinesiology, the practitioner discovered sensitivities to certain foods, imbalances in the adrenals and nervous system, and lots of emotional stress being held in the body.

Working layer by layer to rebalance the body over a few sessions and after following a personalised plan between sessions, the client's energy began to return.

She finally felt like herself again.

🙌 It’s amazing what the body can reveal when we listen.

Symptoms are the only way the body can tell us something is off balance. Using specific tools and techniques, we can return the body and its systems to a state of homeostasis (balance) so that you begin to feel normal again.

If you've ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but something still feels out of kilter, kinesiology might just be the missing link you need.

New foundation mid- week foundation course Thursday/Friday - October start ! One weekend per month for 6 months! £395 deposit then £200 per month per level.

✨ Did you know kinesiology supports more than just the physical body?

Kinesiology uses gentle muscle testing to uncover where your body may be out of balance and then applies non-invasive corrections to restore homeostasis (balance).

Our approach looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms, because these are often the tip of the iceberg!

In addition to the physical/structural body, we also support emotional/mental health, energetic and biochemical imbalances.

We can find out where there might be vitamin and mineral deficiencies, as well as carrying out food sensitivity testing.

Whether you’re feeling burnt out, bloated, or emotionally overwhelmed, kinesiology helps restore balance naturally.

Using Kinesiology to unlock peak performance

When we talk about elite athletic performance, few names resonate like Novak Djokovic. But behind his record-breaking career lies a fascinating story of self-discovery and holistic health…one that includes the powerful role of kinesiology.

Kinesiology, played a crucial part in Djokovic's transformation both on and off the court.

Struggling with health issues early in his career, Djokovic turned to applied kinesiology and muscle testing to uncover hidden food intolerances, muscular imbalances, and energy blockages.

Through kinesiology sessions and adopting recommended lifestyle changes, he was able to fine-tune his body’s mechanics, improve his recovery, and achieve mental clarity.

Djokovic identified these key benefits of Kinesiology:

✅ Identifying Food Sensitivities: Using muscle testing, Djokovic discovered a gluten intolerance that had been affecting his energy levels and endurance. Eliminating gluten dramatically improved his stamina and focus.

✅ Balancing the Body's Energy: Kinesiology helped him rebalance his nervous system and optimise muscle coordination, essential for fast reactions and injury prevention in tennis.

✅ Holistic Health Awareness: Beyond physical fitness, kinesiology opened Djokovic to a broader understanding of emotional and mental well-being, helping him cultivate mindfulness and resilience under pressure.

✅ Enhanced Recovery & Performance: By addressing imbalances in his muscle coordination, Djokovic improved his movement efficiency, reducing fatigue and enhancing his speed on the court.

Djokovic’s story is a testament to the power of looking beyond conventional modalities.

Kinesiology, when combined with nutrition, mindfulness, and physical conditioning, can unlock untapped potential in both athletes and anyone seeking optimal health.

It really is a game changer!

PERI & POST MENOPAUSE - Some helpful Do's and Don'ts

There are many ways of alleviating the symptoms of peri or post menopause using herbs, vitamins and minerals, and making small dietary changes.

The key is to understand what is going on in your body and what route will help you most. Your local Kinesiologist can help you get clarity on this...why guess when you can muscle test?!

Another thing to consider is whether you are ingesting XENOESTROGENS; synthetic industrial chemicals found in a variety of plastics (as well as in sealants, consumer products, preservatives, and insecticides).

Xenoestrogens can have a phenomenally negative effect on some people's hormone health (and they can affect men as well as women).

✅THE DO'S - Here are some ways of avoiding ingesting xeno-oestrogens:

Use glass, stainless steel or BPA-free bottles for water and drinks
Use glass or ceramic containers in a microwave (ensure they are microwave safe)
Use a plastic or silicon splash guard over food in the microwave, ensuring these are not touching the food
Or use a plate to cover food while heating - please be careful of your fingers and face when you remove the plate!

❌THE DON'TS - Here are some tips on how to protect yourself from xenoestrogens:

Don't leave plastic bottles in the car and then drink the water in them
Don't re-fill plastic water bottles more than about 3 or 4 times
Don't microwave food or drink in plastic containers
Don't have hot drinks or food in Styrofoam
If using clingfilm, don't let it touch hot food or food heated in a microwave

These small changes can make a MASSIVE difference to your hormone health.
