Yoga Benefits:
Naturopathic package includes:
Adrenal Stress Test
Before and after your month-long yoga challenge
A month’s supply of pH paper for at home testing
Information session with Dr. Menard on pH testing and balance
Koenisburg Test (Urinary Adrenal Stress Test)
The Koenisburg Test is used as a reliable measurement of adrenal stress or fatigue. This test determines if your adrenal glands are in a state of hypofunction (adrenal fatigue), hyperfunction (adrenal stress) or normal.
Adrenal Fatigue can lead to:
chronic fatigue
chronic inflammations
a weakened immune system
problems with PMS
difficulties with blood pressure
insomnia and allergies
reduced sex drive
Adrenal stress (adrenal hyperfunction) can lead to:
weight gain around the middle
sugar cravings
binge eating
hormonal imbalances in women, which then lead to low progesterone levels and an increase in PMS symptoms and menopausal symptoms
increased risk of osteoporosis
increased blood pressure
The earlier adrenal imbalances are cleared up, the more rapidly energy levels return to normal.
The Koenisburg test will be performed before you begin your month-long yoga challenge to determine the baseline state of your adrenal glands. Dr. Menard will also provide you with lifestyle changes to help you balance your adrenal hormones in conjunction with your daily yoga exercises. The Koenisburg test will then be repeated at the end of your month-long challenge to determine the benefit that your adrenal glands have received from participating in yoga on a daily basis.
Learn to Properly Test your Body’s pH Levels
Our bodies need to maintain optimal pH values for good health. But we produce more acids than we excrete as we grow older, depositing them in our joints, blood vessel walls and tissues.
A body that is too acidic is more likely to develop the following health conditions:
fibromyalgia
arthritis
gallstones
kidney stones
cysts and benign tumours
cancer
Dr. Menard will explain the importance of acid-alkaline balance in the body, how to properly test your urine and saliva to determine your body’s pH level, and how to balance your pH by eating the right foods. You will be sent home with a month’s supply of pH paper to test your saliva and urine pH to see how stress, yoga and eating properly affects your day-to-day pH readings.
