Keeping Neurotransmitters Balanced Can Elevate Your Moods
Keeping Neurotransmitters Balanced Can Elevate Your Moods

Why should you care about your neurotransmitters?

Neurotransmitters play a vital role in our lives. Our brains use neurotransmitters to tell our hearts to beat, our lungs to breathe, and our stomachs to digest our food.

Neurotransmitters are significant influencers in our moods, the quality of our sleep, and our ability to focus. If our neurotransmitters become unbalanced, a variety of different symptoms can develop that lead to adverse effects on our emotions over time.

Standing Up for Your Own Health with Neurotransmitter Testing

—Richard Shames, M.D. —physician, health author, hormone expert

At-home neurotransmitter and hormone testing is a complete game changer.

As a preventive medicine doctor, and researcher, I have heartfelt excitement about at-home neurotransmitter testing.  At long last, you can easily and affordably reveal levels of your body's most important neurotransmitters.  This can mean happiness instead of depression — restful sleep instead of insomnia — good energy instead of sluggishness — peace of mind instead of restless anxiety — comfort with food instead of cravings.

No longer do patients have to suffer from the outdated doctor observation: "You seem depressed. Here is a prescription for an anti-depressant".

Instead, you can now precisely determine your own serotonin levels. If you find it is low, you could choose to try the over-the-counter supplement 5-HTP to help balance this neurotransmitter and mitigate symptoms of depression and anxiety.

No longer do people need to put up with: "Your mother's memory loss is probably dementia. Here is her prescription for Aricept." Instead, you now can check for the sufficiency of neurotransmitters such as dopamine or norepinephrine. If these are low, several simple supplements can help, with less expense and fewer side effects.

No longer do you need to experience: "I think your physical symptoms are due to stress. Here is a prescription for the tranquilizer Klonopin." Instead, you can now find out if your cortisol is really too high or not. If so, there are several more natural and less costly ways to improve hormone balance before going that route.

No longer be concerned about the questionable advice: "For better sleep, I recommend prescription Lunesta." Instead, you get to see if your GABA is adequate. If it is not, then some natural over-the-counter nutritional remedies might have a much more favorable long-term outcome.

These neurotransmitters are also intimately involved with your thyroid and adrenal function, blood sugar metabolism, body pains due to inflammation, plus your overall mood, energy, and stamina for life. In addition, they are crucial players in attention deficit, obsessive-compulsive problems, cravings, and libido issues.

At-home neurotransmitter and hormone testing is indeed a medical breakthrough. Moreover, it is something that you can take advantage of immediately. You don't have to copy an article, bring it to your practitioner, and hope to sell the new idea so you can have the test ordered for you. Now you can simply order online to help balance your hormones and boost your neurotransmitter production.

Neurotransmitter and Hormone Testing

While neurotransmitters control the brain, hormones often control those neurotransmitters. So in order to figure out what is really the root cause of your symptoms, testing neurotransmitters together with hormones allows you and your health care practitioner to gain a deeper understanding of your well-being...or lack thereof.

This is why we are excited to offer at-home neurotransmitter plus hormone testing, all in one test panel.

These tests measure your major neurotransmitters, including well-known players such as serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, histamine, and more. You can augment your test with hormone add-ons for the broadest evaluation possible. See the options below.

Just want to test your neurotransmitters? We've got that option as well.

Your results are emailed directly to you, graphed and color-coded, while the meaning is explained in plain English. You will also receive customized comments to help better understand your personal results.

This is truly a breakthrough for anyone looking to take charge of their own health!

And as always, Canary Club offers the lowest price anywhere.

Consider testing if you are experiencing:neurotransmitter testing for depression, anxiety, sleep, addiction

  • depression
  • anxiety
  • addiction
  • compulsion
  • fatigue
  • insomnia / erratic sleep
  • low libido
  • poor memory
  • lack of concentration
  • addiction
  • cravings
  • sporadic appetite

An imbalance in your neuroendocrine system is likely an underlying cause of the physical, mental, and/or emotional issues you are facing. Learn if you are in the 86% of Americans who have sub-optimal neurotransmitter levels.

And here is some good news if you do get less-than-ideal results:

serotonin produced in gut - probiotic fermented foods boost serotonin productionWith inexpensive over-the-counter nutrients, you can often easily control neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and epinephrine. Simple vitamin store items such as GABA, tryptophan, glutamine, and vitamin B6 can help regulate neurotransmitters naturally.

Also, nutrient-rich foods can help, including the probiotics sauerkraut, yogurt, and oatmeal. Most serotonin is produced in the digestive tract, so having a healthy gut biome can do wonders for your mental and emotional health.

If after a while, you still need additional help, then (and only then) ask your practitioner about pharmaceuticals.

Thankfully you can now test your personal brain chemistry levels with a self-ordered home test kit. You can order lab tests online, do the test at home, and see the results for yourself.

Discover this new, highly accurate neurotransmitter testing and the extensive research behind it. Doing so could lead to a substantial improvement in your overall health and well-being. This is a great leap forward in taking charge of your own health and as a doctor long devoted to health education, I am truly delighted this is finally available to the general public.  I can provide help with more detailed test interpretation and advice.
