Hormonal Imbalance
Acupuncture for Hormonal Imbalance in Amsterdam
Hormonal imbalance can affect many aspects of health and daily life. Changes in energy levels, mood, sleep, digestion, or physical comfort may appear gradually and are often difficult to explain through standard medical tests alone. Many people are told their hormone levels are “within normal range,” yet symptoms persist.
At Alter Physio & Acupuncture in Amsterdam, we approach hormonal imbalance from a regulatory, whole-body perspective. Hormones do not function in isolation — they are closely linked to the nervous system, stress response, sleep quality, and recovery capacity.
Through acupuncture and a holistic approach, we aim to support the body’s natural hormonal regulation rather than forcing or suppressing symptoms.
Understanding Hormonal Imbalance Beyond Blood Tests
Hormones are part of a complex communication system that includes:
- The autonomic nervous system
- The endocrine system
- Sleep–wake cycles
- Stress and emotional load
- Physical recovery and movement
Even when blood tests appear normal, hormonal signaling can be disrupted by chronic stress, poor sleep, or nervous system overload. Symptoms often reflect dysregulation, not deficiency.
Common Symptoms Linked to Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal imbalance can present differently for each person, but common experiences include:
- Persistent fatigue or low energy
- Sleep disturbances
- Mood changes or irritability
- Menstrual irregularities or cycle-related discomfort
- Reduced stress tolerance
- Digestive changes
- Unexplained weight or appetite changes
These symptoms are often interconnected and influenced by the body’s ability to regulate stress and recovery.
Why Hormonal Symptoms Often Persist
Many people try supplements, medication, or lifestyle changes, yet symptoms continue. This often happens because:
- The nervous system remains in a heightened stress state
- Sleep quality is insufficient for hormonal recovery
- The body struggles to shift into a restorative mode
- Stress hormones dominate over recovery hormones
Without addressing nervous system regulation, hormonal balance is difficult to restore sustainably.
How Acupuncture Supports Hormonal Regulation
Acupuncture supports hormonal balance by influencing the nervous system–endocrine connection. Treatment can help to:
- Reduce excessive stress hormone activity
- Support parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) function
- Improve sleep quality and recovery
- Reduce physical tension that interferes with regulation
- Support the body’s natural hormonal rhythms
Rather than targeting individual hormones, acupuncture helps create the conditions for balanced regulation.
