Neurotransmitter Health

What is a neurotransmitter?
A neurotransmitter is an important messenger of your  nervous system. The brain uses neurotransmitters to signal your body to work. They signal the heart to beat, the digestion to function, and the brain to react a certain way. They also signal our moods.

What do neurotransmitters do for you? 
They help you feel good when there is a balance between the calming and stimulant neurotransmitters.

At our office we can provide you with a specific neurotransmitter questionnaire, amino acid blood tests and specific support products to bring you back into balance.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Certain ones are utilized by the brain as neurotransmitters or to support or regulate the neurotransmitters to regulate mood, feelings and body functions.

Neurotransmitter Imbalance Symptoms:
anxiety, weight gain, poor focus, mood swings, depression, insomnia, fatigue (mental and physical). food cravings, trouble remembering people or things, low libido, headaches, stomach aches, trouble focusing and more

GABA: (Gamma-aminobutyric acid): an amino acid which is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Helps promote relaxation and sleep. A deficiency can lead to fear, anxiety and worry.

SEROTONIN: a deficiency in serotonin can lead to depression, anger, loss of modivation, lack of enjoyment in life, stomach upsets and sleep.

DOPAMINE: this neurotransmitter effects motivation, thinking skills, mood and attention. It also effects the overall pleasure system of the brain and promotes enjoyment. A deficiency can lead to physical and mental fatigue, food cravings, hopelessness, anger and worthlessness.

ACETYLCHOLINE: Is used to promote thinking, memory, and arousal. A deficiency can lead to memory loss.
