Neurotransmitters are powerful chemicals that regulate numerous physical and emotional processes such as mental performance, emotional state, physical energy, and pain response.  Numerous clinical studies have shown that inadequate neurotransmitter function has a profound influence on overall health and well-being. In fact, imbalances in certain neurotransmitters are associated with many of the prevalent symptoms and conditions seen in doctors offices today:


 

  •  Adrenal Dysfunction; fatigue, insomnia
  •  Loss of Mental Focus; ADD, ADHD, cognitive fog
  •  Addiction and Dependency
  •  Hormonal Imbalances; E2 dominance, E2 deficiency, low androgens
  •  Loss of Appetite Control; insulin resistance
  •  Mood Disorders depression, anxiety

SEROTONIN is an inhibitory neurotransmitter considered to be the master neurotransmitter. Adequate amounts of serotonin are necessary to balance any excessive excitatory (stimulating) neurotransmitter firing in the hypothalamus. Serotonin imbalance is one of the most common contributors to mood problems, which is considered by some as a virtual epidemic in the United States. It also regulates many processes such as carbohydrate cravings, sleep cycle, pain tolerance and appropriate digestion, and can be associated with decreased immune system function.


High stress, insufficient nutrients, fluctuating hormones, and the use of stimulant medications or caffeine all contribute to the depletion of serotonin over time. When serotonin is out of range then depression, anxiety, worry, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, carbohydrate cravings, PMS, difficulty with pain control, and sleep cycle disturbances can result.Serotonin is key to feelings of happiness and very important for emotions because it helps protect against both anxiety and depression.

Testing provides a tool to understand each patient’s specific neuroendocrine imbalances, which can be corrected with nutraceutical, BHRT, diet, and lifestyle interventions.]]> 2017-01-19 14:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Msslogan/xpgymk6jmadw/wish/148098782
