Understand Imbalance
Your Path to Better Brain Health
Understanding the role of hormonal imbalance 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, numerous other symptoms can result from neurotransmitter-hormone imbalances. Research has shown that deficiencies and/or excesses of certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, as well as hormones, like cortisol, may contribute to chronic issues. Neurotransmitter-hormone testing can discover these imbalances.
