🗝️Unlock the Hidden Connection Between Hormones & Weight
❗️𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗘❗️
••BALANCED HORMONES CHANGE EVERYTHING!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥🚀
🔹Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging,especially when hormonal imbalances come into play.
🔹Hormones regulate many aspects of your body, including metabolism, hunger and fat storage. When they’re out of balance, it might feel like your body is working AGAINST you.
🔹Understanding how hormones affect your weight can HELP you take control and reach your wellness goals. Here’s a closer look at how hormones impact you and what you can do about them.
🔹Hormones: Your Body’s Chemical Messengers
🔹Cortisol — The Stress Hormone
When you’re stressed out, your body releases cortisol, leading to mood swings, anxiety and depression, often driving you to reach for unhealthy comfort foods. After all, ever heard the saying “‘stressed’ spelled backwards is ‘desserts’”? When stress hits, it’s challenging to avoid reaching for a sugary treat.
🔹High cortisol levels can also throw your digestion off-kilter, causing indigestion and bloating that contribute to weight gain as your body struggles to efficiently process food.
🔹Plus, excess cortisol kicks insulin production into overdrive, which can mean more fat being stored around your belly. This is called visceral fat, which is not only hard to lose but also linked to various health issues.
🔹Ghrelin — The Hunger Hormone
Ghrelin makes for hungry, hungry humans. This hormonetells your brain when it’s time to eat. When your ghrelin levels are high, you feel hungrier and are more likely to overindulge, making it tough to stick to a healthy diet.
🔹Leptin — The Satiety Hormone
Leptin plays the role of satisfaction messenger. Produced by fat cells, leptin is a hormone that signals to your brain that you’re full after a meal.
🔹However, when you carry excess weight, your brain may become resistant to leptin’s messages, making it harder to feel satisfied and not overeat.
🙌🏼 Sometimes, it’s not your choices that make it difficult to lose weight, it’s the hormones that regulate your appetite.

Why trainers PUSH horses TOO FAST

Klaus Balkenhol explains, "Although breeders have created a better horse, the market has created a demand for a stronger, healthier, more powerful horse. It's easier to sell a horse that looks
like a carefully developed eight-year-old, and not like a three- or four-year-old just beginning his career. If you force it, you can get a three-year-old to physically look like a developed eight-year-old. Too many colts remain stallions which, if approved, promise breeders higher prices as three-year-olds. Now 250 to 300 young stallions are presented each year, when only 40 or 50 will be approved.
Few breeders have the sense to geld the yearling stallions and leave them on the pasture to mature naturally. Instead, yearling stallions are brought into a stall, fed too much grain, and at three, look like six- or seven-year-olds. They have muscle mass, but not enough bone structure to support it. They look mature from the outside but aren't . . . and when started to work, degeneration sets in. Competitions also create pressure to push horses too fast as competitions are now scheduled throughout the year without any breaks."

Common Mistakes In Pushing Too Fast
Tightening the noseband: "A horse resists by sticking out his tongue. Tightening the noseband too much puts pressure on the nose and on the poll. If it is necessary to tighten the noseband very tightly, then something has gone very wrong in the basic training of the horse. The horse cannot be relaxed, the first step on the training scale," warns Klaus.

Specializing too early: "Drilling every day in the indoor arena is too intense for the young horse. It's very important, especially in the first two years of training, not to specialize the young horse. Training should include a variety of activities, including trail riding, which is good for the mind as well as building strength with hill work. It should include jumping, either free or low jumps under saddle, including small natural obstacles on the trail, and cavaletti. A variety of work will allow the horse to stay mentally fresh and to enjoy his work. Only when the horse is happy can dressage become art."

Not checking tack frequently: "Saddle and tack need to be checked constantly for proper fit and adjusted as the horse's body changes with growth, and as his fitness improves with the
training. If the noseband gets too low, for example, and the skin between the noseband and the bit is rubbed and becomes sore, this causes the horse discomfort and loss of relaxation.
Regularly check for sharp edges and bit problems in the horse's mouth and teeth."

Working too long: "The goal of our training is to build the horse's mind and his muscles. Suppleness and relaxation require adequate muscle strength. strengthening requires both contraction and relaxation. Blood flow and oxygenation occur when the muscle relaxes. If the muscle is kept in a constant state of contraction, it loses power and strength, and actually becomes smaller.
Frequent rest periods, especially for a young horse at a free walk on a long rein, are necessary. The rest periods are not for a rider's fatigue, but to allow the horse to stretch and relax his muscles. The rest breaks will give you a completely new horse. This is the systematic gymnasticizing of the horse."

Riding when the horseman is tense: "Horses are particularly sensitive to the rider's mood. A rider shouldn't ride if she is under undue stress or doesn't have the time to ride. If the rider has a bad day, give the horse a rest day or go for a relaxing trail ride; don't work in the arena. The horse mirrors the rider's mood."

Not praising the horse enough: "The horse must perform from joy, not subservience. Praising a horse frequently with voice, a gentle pat, or relaxing the reins is very important to keep the horse interested and willing. If the horse offers piaffe, for instance, because he's excited, praise him for it. You shouldn't stop the lesson at that point nor make a big deal out of it. If you don't want piaffe, quietly urge him forward into trot, but you should NEVER
punish him for offering the piaffe.

I have been seeing and hearing that a lot of horses owners, trainers and other professionals are using PEMF machines and massage blankets to replace hands on bodywork.
Let’s talk about the Power of Human Touch in Bodywork and Why PEMF Machines and Other Devices Can't Replace It!
In the world of bodywork and therapeutic healing, there's one element that no machine or device can replicate – the incredible power of human touch!
While PEMF machines and other innovative devices offer their own unique benefits, they simply cannot replace the profound connection and intuitive healing that comes from the hands-on approach of a skilled practitioner. Here's why human touch is irreplaceable in the world of bodywork:
🌟 Sensitivity and Intuition: A trained therapist possesses an innate ability to sense and respond to the subtle cues and energy patterns of the human body. Through their touch, they can identify areas of tension, pain, or imbalance that may not be apparent to a machine. This sensitivity and intuition allow them to tailor the treatment to the individual, providing personalized care that promotes holistic healing.
🌟 Heat and Swelling: A therapist's hands have the remarkable ability to detect even the slightest increase in temperature or swelling in a horse's body. By gently gliding their hands over the horse's muscles, joints, and limbs, they can identify areas of inflammation or discomfort. This invaluable insight helps them tailor their treatments and interventions to alleviate pain and support the horse's overall well-being.
🌟 Balancing the Body: Just as they can detect heat and swelling, therapists can also feel imbalances in a horse's musculoskeletal system. Through their touch, they can identify areas of tension, tightness, or misalignment that may be affecting the horse's movement and performance. This allows them to develop targeted treatment plans to restore balance, improve flexibility, and enhance the horse's overall athletic ability.
🌟 Responding to Feedback: Horses, like humans, communicate through non-verbal cues. A skilled therapist can pick up on the horse's response to their touch, such as subtle shifts in body language, muscle tension, or relaxation. This feedback helps them adjust their techniques and pressure to ensure the horse's comfort and optimize the effectiveness of the treatment.
🌟 Emotional Connection: The power of touch extends beyond the physical realm; it also nurtures emotional well-being. A human touch carries warmth, empathy, and comfort that can have a profound impact on a person's mental and emotional state. The therapeutic relationship formed between a practitioner and their client creates a safe space for emotional release, relaxation, and healing.
🌟 Adaptability and Customization: Unlike machines, human therapists can adapt their techniques and pressure based on the unique needs, preferences, and comfort levels of each individual. They can adjust their touch, speed, and intensity to provide a tailored experience that promotes relaxation, relieves pain, and enhances overall well-being. This level of customization is essential for effective bodywork.
🌟 Connection to Energy Flow: Human touch has the power to influence the flow of energy within the body. Skilled therapists can channel their intention and energy through their hands, helping to restore balance, release blockages, and stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms. This energetic connection is a vital aspect of many bodywork modalities and cannot be replicated by machines alone.
🌟 Holistic Well-being: Just like with humans, the therapeutic touch of a skilled therapist contributes to the horse's emotional and mental well-being. Horses can experience stress, anxiety, and tension, and the compassionate touch of a therapist helps promote relaxation, trust, and a sense of security. This holistic approach supports the horse's overall health and happiness.
🌟 Healing Presence: Beyond the physical techniques, the presence and energy of a compassionate human therapist can create a profound healing environment. Their calming presence, soothing voice, and genuine care contribute to a sense of safety, trust, and relaxation. This nurturing environment enhances the therapeutic benefits of the bodywork experience.
While PEMF machines and other devices have their place in supporting and enhancing bodywork, they should be viewed as complementary tools rather than replacements for human touch. The art and science of bodywork require the intuitive, empathetic, and skilled touch of a human practitioner to truly unlock the transformative power of healing.
