NT imbalances or chemical imbalances are associated with:
- depression
- anxiety
- mood swings
- ADD/ADHD
- insomnia
- fatigue, cravings, PMS and inability to concentrate, etc.
NT are typically classified as "excitatory" or "inhibitory." The fast paced lifestyle, that "fight or flight" mode and excessive stress in everyday life trigger an overproduction of "excitatory" NT. Unfortunately this constant adrenaline overload will not only over-work and exhaust the adrenal glands but it can override the "inhibitory" NT (serotonin, GABA) that calm and quiet the mind.
Neurotransmitters measured are:
- Serotonin
- Dopamine
- Adrenaline
- Noradrenaline
- GABA
- Glutamate
- Glutamine
- Histamine
- PEA to determine chemical imbalances.
Depression, anxiety, mood swings, and other associated mental conditions are designed to manipulate various neurotransmitters with prescription medications. Accurately accessing the NT levels help in Identifying where the imbalances are and how to accurately support those imbalances with proper nutrition and supplementation.

An in-home urine test is performed on the second morning void to measure NT status. Test results are usually obtained within 2 weeks.
