Like hormones, neurotransmitters are powerful chemical messengers. They are used by the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system to relay information from one nerve cell to another and to facilitate communication amongst the body’s glands, organs, and muscles. Optimal neurotransmitter levels are crucial for good mental and physical health. When they are out of balance, it can lead to any of the following signs and symptoms:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Anger/rage
- Hyperactivity
- Low energy and stamina
- Decreased motivation
- Poor mental focus, ADD, or ADHD
- Insomnia
- Food cravings and poor appetite control
- Addictive behaviors (drugs, alcohol, tobacco)
- Low pain tolerance
- Hypertension
- Low libido and/or inability to orgasm
- Erectile dysfunction
Aging, genetics, environmental toxins, poor diet, and inactivity can impact neurotransmitter production. If you are trying to eat right, exercising more, trying to your manage stress, but still don’t feel right, it may be your neurotransmitters. The first step toward better health is to identify possible imbalances with a NeuroAdrenal lab test from Labrix Clinical Services. This highly sensitive and accurate test identifies specific imbalances and is non-invasive (utilizes saliva and urine samples). To see a sample neurotransmitter report, click here.
Depending on your specific test results, a tailored combination of natural amino acids, vitamins, and hormones are used to restore healthy neurotransmitter levels. The cost of this test is $599 and it includes a 60-minute consultation with Dr. Thomas to review your results and outline an effective treatment plan. It is worth every penny for the valuable information it provides and the improved quality of life that can result!
