Helping you feel your best
Emotional wellbeing often requires a multifactorial approach using Functional and NeuroFunctional Medicine (see wellbeing section for general info). Firstly wellbeing is assessed using in depth medical history and thorough symptom questionnaire's. Immune, Neurological, Hormonal and Digestive Issues can all interfere with emotional wellbeing from a health perspective. Multiple studies emphasise the role of digestive function in mood and emotional conditions. These specific areas can be assessed with a multi system approach commonly used with great success in Functional Medicine.
Managing stress through meditation, relaxation techniques, exercise and nutritional support can also play an important role in coping with emotional stress.
Optimum Neurological and Brain function also helps a persons interaction with the outside world and how they may perceive it or process information from visual and auditory cues. Right and left brain communication also aids our brains ability to process sensory information. Musculoskeletal imbalances influence where in your body you store stress in the form of tension, tightens and pain, treatment to alleviate these effects can be beneficial in further reducing the effects of chronic or acute emotional stress. Often biochemical cascades that occur due to acute or chronic stress and due to the burden it places on your Pituitary - Adrenal axis often affects digestion and elimination resulting in poor nutritional uptake, poor absorption and elimination and alters hormonal function such as thyroid, adrenal or sex hormones.
Addressing all these areas of dysfunction help people deal with emotional stressors and reduce their risk of ongoing health concerns as a result of dealing with chronic or acutestress issues. While we are unable to alter the stresses in our lives we can often alter the way we deal with them and how our internal physiology copes with stress.
