Neurotransmitters are naturally occurring chemicals within the brain that relay signals between the nerve cells. They are required for proper brain and body functions including movement, emotional response, and the physical ability to experience pleasure and pain.  A proper balance of neurotransmitter levels helps achieve optimal health.
Neurotransmitter imbalances have been linked to:

• Attention issues (lack of focus and motivation, poor concentration, and ADD)
• Learning difficulties and developmental delays (young children)
• Hyperactivity and ADHD for both children and adults
• Sleeping problems (fatigue, problems falling asleep, tossing and turning, etc.)
• Menopause related issues (hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats)
• PMS related issues (mood swings, aggressiveness, irritability, sadness, lack of libido)
• Weight issues and appetite control (cravings, overwhelming hunger, etc.)
• Depression (sadness, lack of motivation, mood swings, etc.)
• Anxiety (irritability, nervousness, obsessive-compulsive, insecurity, racing thoughts, restlessness)
• Libido (lack of sex drive for women and men, orgasm issues, erectile dysfunction, etc.)

Neurotransmitters are tested via urine through a neuroscience laboratory.  Once your results are completed, recommendations for a tailored amino acid protocol will be prescribed.  Follow-up testing is performed every 3-6 months to ensure that your levels are improving.
