What contributes to these neurohormonal imbalances?
Many factors could disrupt this delicate system, leading to an array of symptoms and illnesses. Chronic stress, environmental factors, or diet, lack of exercise, dysregulated sleep, stimulants, genetic predispositions, and even medications prescribed to take care of these symptoms could eventually deplete your system, causing further imbalance.
Associated with HIGH levels: | Associated with LOW levels: |
|---|---|
Cortisol - anxiousness, poor sleep, insulin resistance, immune suppression | Cortisol - 50, inflammation, salt craving, sensitivity to loud noise, difficulty waking up, second wind at night, daytime sleepiness, low libido, premature aging |
| Dopamine- developmental problems, poor impulse control delusions out of touch with reality | Dopamine - lack of motivation, loss of focus, cravings, low libido |
| Norepinephrine - hyperactivity, stress and anxiety, anger, headache, increased blood pressure, hot flashes, weight issues | Norepinephrine - lack of focus, lack of energy, lack of motivation, decreased mood |
| Epinephrine - anxiousness, stress, insulin resistance, blood sugar dysregulation | Epinephrine - difficulty losing weight, poor sugar control, or methylation |
| Glutamate - anxiousness, stress, decreased mood, neurotoxicity | Glutamate - mental fatigue, cognitive impairment |
| GABA - sadness, over innovation leading to poor cognition and memory | GABA - anxiousness, hyperactivity, sleep dysregulation |
| PEA (phenethylamine) - anxiousness, overstimulation, irregular movement, increased HPA (hypothalamus-adrenal-pituitary) reactivity | PEA (phenethylamine) - lack of focus, lack of attention, decreased mood, delusions, fear-like symptoms. |
| Serotonin - depressed mood, anxiousness, anger, carbohydrate cravings, sleep dysregulation, headaches, constipation, PMS/hot flashes/PMDD |
Understanding the role of hormonal imbalance in your chronic conditions is a crucial step toward taking control of your health.
An imbalance in neurotransmitters and hormones may lead to symptoms such as:
Fatigue
Anxiousness
Lack of focus
Poor memory
Hyperactivity
Mood swings, sadness
Poor sleep regulation
Irritability
Addictions and cravings
Gaining weight around your abdomen
Neurologically and biologically, there are many other symptoms that neurotransmitter hormone imbalances cause. Symptoms you may be experiencing could have a root cause for this imbalance. Research has shown that deficiencies and excesses of certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, and hormones, like cortisol, may contribute to chronic issues. Neurotransmitter-hormone testing can discover these imbalances and maybe the end of the symptoms.

NEUROTRANSMITTERS ANALYSIS
Concepts in neurochemistry, endocrinology, technology, and therapeutic effects on complex biochemistry.
Neurotransmitters and hormones are your body's communication system. Our bodies use a communication system of Brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) and hormones that allow crosstalk between body parts. Much like a busy interstate with cars and trucks going in different distinctions, each vehicle goes to another place but serves a purpose that contributes to the system's overall prosperity. The main central command center of communication in the body is the Brain. Our communication happens because neurons with neurotransmitters initiate communication with our hormones and glands that help our organs and other body systems work correctly and in balance.
When the brain-body communication system is in harmony, we enjoy good health. However, when this balance is disrupted and the neurotransmitter pathways fail to effectively signal to our hormones and glands, we experience a decline in our health.
