Hyposensitivity and Hypersensitivity

Let’s talk about hyposensitivity and hypersensitivity. This is what we look at, the biomedical and nutritional imbalances from functional medicine testing, and we teach this. When you become a certified autism health coach, you may want to do this as a profession, or you may want to start implementing this training for your own child or grandchild. And that’s why the Total Wellness Empowerment Institute offers these certified autism health coach programs. So hyposensitivity is when you have an individual who is seeking out sensory input from jumping, or they like to be hugged, or they squeeze you tightly, or they like to jump off the couch and there’s loud, repetitive noises swinging or crashing into objects and a lack of pain response.

And we see that with certain gut markers from an organic acid test. And then we balance that out and these symptoms go away as opposed to hypersensitivity, which is a heightened sensitivity to input, so they avoid the loud noises. They cover their ears. They don’t like crowded spaces.

Certain smells really trigger them as well as bright flashing lights and their texture of clothing or food. They don’t like sand or walking on grass, so sensory issues do bother them. Also, we look at the gut markers from an organic acid test, and we teach this in the certified autism health coach program. So you can implement for your own child or become a coach and start a practice and help other children as well.
