PITUITARY GLAND

The pituitary gland is called the master gland of the endocrine system, 

because it controls many other hormone glands in the body.

Without it, the body wouldn’t reproduce or grow properly and many other bodily functions wouldn’t function.

Size and Location

• The pituitary gland is about the size of a pea, located in the brain between the hypothalamus and the
pineal gland, just behind the bridge of the nose.

Function

• This master gland controls the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, ovaries and testicles. While it may be in
charge of these glands, it gets it orders from its neighbor, the hypothalamus.

• The hypothalamus sends signals in the form of hormones to the pituitary gland, telling it just how much
hormones are needed to send to the other glands. Hormones and glands are a communication chain.

• Then, the pituitary secretes hormones that signal to the glands how much hormones they need to secrete.

• The pituitary gland also produces hormones for organs in the body, as well.

Symptoms of Pituitary Gland Imbalances

• Headaches • Impotence • Rapid growth

• Vision problems • Decrease body hair • Weakened bones

• Enlarged breasts • Shortness of breath • Profuse sweating

• Irregular menstrual periods • Abnormal breast milk production • Build up of fat in face, back & neck

When a person will not stay balanced, there may be an imbalance in the pituitary gland.

The person will feel good, and then feel as if someone has pulled the carpet from underneath them, then an
hour later feel good again.

Test for the Pituitary Gland

1. Have the person CL the glabella with the intention you’re testing the pituitary gland.

2. If weak, check the priority mode and if it is a priority, then check the finger modes for what is needed.

• Structural Correction: Cup the occiput with one hand and place your index and middle fingers
into the supraorbital foramen. Pull up with inspiration several times and then retest the glabella.

• Nutritional Correction: Pituitary protomorphogen, which is the blueprint that tells the body to take
nutrients and rebuild the gland

• Emotional Correction: Do the emotional stress release technique for their number one stressor.

• Electrical Correction: Find the hypothalamic set point (the B & E points on the face) that reverses
the weakness and tap that about 50 times. Then retest the glabella.
