Hypothalamus Function
Dr. Allerton recognized that in order for the brain to function
properly and for the neurotransmitters in the brain to receive
messages, the hypothalamus must be working correctly, since it is
the functioning center for four of the brains most powerful hormones
(neurotransmitters) that affect the mind; Serotonin, Dopamine, Norepinephrine and
acetylcholine. It was his feeling that improper Hypothalamic
function could be the cause of most of the mental problems/chemical
imbalances that affect
children and adults. For answers to the most frequently asked questions on our
product CLICK HERE.
The
general functions of the hypothalamus are of extreme importance for
the body, such as:
pituitary gland regulation
blood pressure regulation
hunger and salt cravings
feeding reflexes
thirst
body temperature regulation
hydration
heart rate
bladder function
water preservation
hormonal/neurotransmitter regulation ovarian function
testicular function
mood
& behavioral functions wakefulness
metabolism
sleep cycles
energy levels
The main function of the hypothalamus
is homeostasis, or maintaining the body's status quo. Factors
such as blood pressure, body temperature, fluid and electrolyte
balance, and body weight are held to a precise value called the
set-point. Although this set-point can migrate over time, from day to
day it is remarkably fixed.
What Is The Hypothalamus?
The Hypothalamus is the control center of all autonomic regulatory
activities of the body. It has been said that the hypothalamus is
the brain of the brain. It is the hub for automatic
and endocrine homeostatic systems such as cardiovascular, temperature,
and abdominal visceral regulation. It manages all endocrine
hormonal levels, sensory processing, and organizing body metabolism, as well as ingestive
behaviors. It appears that almost everything the Hypothalamus does is
related in some way to the management of brain and body connection,
linking the psyche (mind) to the body .
What Does The Hypothalamus
Really Do?
The hypothalamus is located immediately below the thalamus at the
center of the brain, and controls many automatic functions of the
body. This means it has the power to govern the autonomic (automatic
or subconscious) nervous system. The hypothalamus also controls
pituitary output by secreting specific chemicals to the pituitary's
front lobe.
Very simply, the Hypothalamus organizes and controls many complex
emotions, feelings and moods, as well as all motivational states
including hunger, appetite and food intake, and everything to do with
the concept of pleasure including satisfaction, comfort and creative
activities. The neurons in the Hypothalamus produce a number of
Hypothalamic neurotransmitters which relay information and instruction
to all parts of the brain and body, directly influencing the Pituitary
Gland, where Growth Hormone, Thyroid Hormone Releasing Factor and
other neuropeptides are released via Hypothalamic input.
The
Hypothalamus (with the Cerebral Hemispheres) is intimately involved in
the integration of all physiological stimulation, all 5 senses,
including taste, smell, sight, sound, and touch, which it then
translates, distills and assembles into one discernible
"package," relating all the attributes of an experience, all
the associated stimulation into one clear harmonious concept, one
memory, one experience. Thus, yielding a succinct emotionally
satisfying understanding and judgment of the experience itself.
What Happens When The Hypothalamus Doesn’t Work Properly?
When the Hypothalamus is not working correctly, when it’s not
functioning up to par, the wrong neuro-signals are generated and the
wrong neuro-messages are received, resulting in an inaccurate
integration of all our sensory input, leading to faulty perceptions
which are very subtle but nonetheless powerful, making us feel empty,
deprived and emotionally "unsatisfied." Dysfunction of the
hypothalamus often leads to depression, hyperactivity, abnormal
responses to stress, or disturbances in brain and
limbic functioning.
Some of the physical aspects of Hypothalamic
dysfunction are: Disordered
sleep, Multiple hormonal
dysfunctions, Immune dysfunction,
Autonomic dysfunction,
Altered
body temperatures.
What causes dysfunction in the hypothalamus?
The
function of these vital systems can be altered by various causes
ranging from food mishandling, dependency & substance withdrawal,
stress or psychological responses to simple functional deficits,
hyperactivity, hypoactivity or learning disabilities. Unfortunately,
Hypothalamic function becomes impaired with age, so as we grow older
the Hypothalamus needs support to maintain optimum
performance.
How does Balance Formula 1 help hypothalamic
problems?
Research has demonstrated that if we
create, in abundance, a substance used by the hypothalamus, its
functions become normal, and its physical reactions and responses also
return to normal.
This is what Balance Formula 1 was created for. This scientifically advanced formula provides the optimum quantities of amino acids, vitamins and minerals necessary for a maximum state of well being, high energy, and peak mental performance. Now after two decades of using this product in practices across America and Canada, Balance Formula 1 remains today the most effective product of its kind on the market.

Other Benefits of Hypothalamic Functioning
The hypothalamus and weight management
It appears that almost everything the Hypothalamus does is related in
some way to weight management and controlled
weight loss. Most simply, when the Hypothalamus is "broken," food
becomes increasingly more important, but increasingly more
unfulfilling. We end up never feeling satisfied with the foods which
we have eaten, gradually eating more and more to try to compensate
for whatever is lacking! From a metabolism stand point, the
Hypothalamus not only governs the motivation to eat, stimulating
hunger and appetite, but most importantly how eating is to be
experienced and reflected upon, whether it is satisfying or not, and
how deep the satisfaction occurs. This gives us an idea as to just
how important healthy Hypothalamic function really is!
