Gut & Hormonal Health Support in Hamilton
If you are tired of feeling “sick and tired,” waking unrefreshed, or dealing with a sluggish or upset gut, you are not alone. Many people come in thinking they have either a gut problem or a hormone problem, only to discover the two are tightly linked. At Health-Performance Chiropractic, gut health, hormones and the nervous system are always considered together.
Dr. Michael Hooker and the team focus on how these three systems affect one another, rather than chasing one symptom at a time. The goal is simple: get all three working well so you can function at your best.
A Joined-Up Approach: Gut, Hormones and Nervous System
Dr. Hooker often explains that if one of these systems is struggling, the others will be under pressure too. That is why your care always starts with a whole-person assessment, not a one-size-fits-all “gut protocol” or generic hormone supplement. A key tool is Applied Kinesiology, which uses gentle manual muscle testing as a window into how your nervous system, organs and glands are working.
By testing specific muscles linked to areas of the gut and endocrine system, then re-testing after challenges, Dr. Hooker can see in real time what helps and what does not. This allows him to prioritise the single change that has the widest positive effect on your body.
Signs Your Gut or Hormones May Need Support
Common signs that your gut or hormones may need attention include:
- Sluggish gut, constipation or needing to rush to the toilet
- Ongoing diarrhoea or obvious changes in bowel habits
- Feeling tired or “lacklustre,” even after sleep
- Waking with headaches or feeling as if the “brake” is on your body
- Tingling in hands and feet, often linked with thyroid stress
- Waking exhausted, suggesting adrenal strain
Personalised Support and Practical Solutions
Assessment begins with your detailed history and gentle muscle testing of areas related to the gut, thyroid, adrenals and other endocrine glands. Dr. Hooker addresses not only biochemistry and nutrition, but also lifestyle, food choices and emotional stress, as all contribute to your wellbeing.
