⩥ leaky gut can be linked to. Answer: XXX's primary concerns of
<Symptom> may be related to the <System> OR <Factors such as age,
lack of sleep etc> may lead to an imbalance of <System>
⩥ client overview > plan of action (what is it that you want to do?).
Answer: Support, Nourish, Soothe, Build , Strengthen, Stimulate?
Detox, Cleanse, Rebalance?
⩥ links & connections: circulatory \ cardiovascular. Answer: heredity,
age, lifestyle STRESS, diet, obesity, diabetes, hydrogenated rancid fat,
visceral belly fat > atherosclerosis (narrowing arteries due to plaque >
CVD, stroke, angina, thrombosis. > RECCOS: reduce exercise, diet,
reduce stress, remove caffeine, sugar, alcohol, refined foods, bad fats.
Supplement with antioxidants, Zn, B Complex, K, Ca\Mg
⩥ links & connections: respiratory. Answer: air pollution, smoking >
ingestion of free radicals > inflammation air passages, weakened
immunity, increased respiratory disease eg asthma, emphysema, lung
cancer. RECCOS: organic whole food diet, Vit A to support mucosal
lining of lungs, digestive, antioxidants (ACE, Se, Zn)
,⩥ links & connections: immune. Answer: underactive stomach > leaky
gut > overburdened colon> sluggish liver > taxed immune system >
allergies, autoimmune, frequent infection, slow healing. RECCOS:
support thymus: reduce sugar, coffee, fat, suppplement with antiox
(ACE, SE), EFA, immune builders, reduce STRESS!
⩥ links & connections: nervous. Answer: nervous system is sensitive to
stress and when out of balance affects all other body systems > the HPA
axis controls our reaction to stress, digestion, immunity, sexuality and
energy levels + General adapatation sysndrome (GAS) > adrenals
release cortisol in a fight or flight response to chronic stress can lead to
1. elevated cortisol levels which have been implicated in the
degeneration of connective tissue and 2. adrenal fatigue and symptoms
of fatigue, insomia, underactive stomach RECCOS: supllement with B
vitamins eg choline, Mg\CA, EFA
⩥ links & connections: glandular/endocrine. Answer: chronic stress can
lead to 1. elevated cortisol & blood sugar > insulin resistance &
overtaxed pancreas 2. adrenal fatigue and symptoms of fatigue, insomia,
underactive stomach
⩥ links & connections: reproductive. Answer: MEN: stress > elevated
cortisol, testosterone converted to estrogen, estrogen dominance > BPH
benign prostate hypertrophy, difficulty urinating > RECCOS sawl
palmetto, male glandular formula of synergestic ingredients eg zn, B, C,
amino acids. WOMEN: menopausal women estrogen levels are low and
, they are not able to rebuild damaged tissue> RECCOS support the
adrenals which take over producing sex hormones as ovaries cease
functioning. as easily VS estrogen dominance (candida, stress, birth
control pill, overburdened liver > estrogen dominance > blocking action
of thyroid leads to underactive thyroid )
⩥ links & connections: digestive. Answer: production of HCl decreases
with age > affects proper function of colon leading to constipation,
malabsoption, inflammation, dysbiosis, leaky gut. Elevated blood sugar
can lead to dysglycemia, cravings and promote candida
⩥ links & connections: intestinal. Answer: lack of fibre, water, stress,
inflammatory foods, coffee, alcohol, sugar > slow \ clogged colon >
candida, dysbiosis, parasites > leaky gut, candidiasis diverticulitis,
hemmarhoids >
⩥ links & connections: urinary. Answer: lack of mg NOT excess CA >
kidney stones , diabetes, NSAIDs > damage kidney, weak immunity,
dehydration, bacteria in urinary tract > UTI \ bladder infection
⩥ links & connections: structural. Answer: inadequate absorption of mg,
menopause > osteoporosis. Leaky gut\inflammation > arthritis.
Imbalance , sature, alcohol use, smoking, inactivity, thyroid issues >
bone,joint, muscle pain > RECCOS: cal\mag, Vit D, k, fe, glucosamine
sulfate, MSM, chondroitin, for osteoarthritis, weight bearing excercise to
stimulate production of synovial fluid in the joints.
