From Symptoms To Systems – addressing allostatic load and central sensitization with the HAQ.
What the workshop is, and what you’ll learn
Over 3 live sessions, we work through all 28 organ and glandular systems the Health Appraisal Questionnaire screens, using a single repeatable method for each one. For every system you’ll learn
- what a high score affects downstream
- what tends to drive it
- what balances it, and
- what other considerations are there – including resources for further testing
This is the method I call Maximal Returns: reading a client’s high-priority systems as the places where addressing the load returns the most.

Descending influences from the brain, ascending influences from the soma (body tissues) and parallel drives from the organs and hormones can all contribute at a subthreshold level to drive suprathreshold sensitization in the cord
The thread running through all 3 sessions is the science that reframes the whole picture. Symptoms are not faults to be silenced; they are systems reporting their load. And when that load accumulates — many individual sub-threshold drives summing across the body — it becomes the driving force behind central sensitisation. You’ll see how the HAQ maps that load in a way the validated but blunt Central Sensitization Inventory cannot, and how to use it to decide where to start.
Session 1 introduces the instrument and the first 8 systems.
Session 2 covers the next 12 systems.
Session 3 completes the final 8 systems and closes with an ayurvedic scoring perspective; arguably the original biopsychosocial model.
Each session ends with integration and live Q&A — and your questions shape the learning as we go.
You’ll leave able to read a HAQ report as one integrated picture rather than a list of complaints, and to structure an optimised coaching approach from it. Better understanding, better results, for you and your clients.
Three Saturdays — 7th, 14th & 21st November, 7am or 4pm GMT.
CPD-eligible.
