Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that our brain and nervous system used to transport information in between neurons. Optimizing neurotransmitter activity and balance as necessary to maintain proper health. Imbalances can be due to over production or under production of certain Neurotransmitters.

Many different neurotransmitter’s are manufactured in our G.I. tract/gut. This is why it is very important to maintain good gut health or to check for issues such as dysbiosis ( imbalance of good and bad gut bacteria). To make sure the environment is suitable to make sufficient Neurotransmitters.

If neurotransmitters are out of balance we can have conditions such as anxiety, lack of concentration, impulsivity, depression, increased appetite, and obesity. Once we find out what needs to be balance optimization can be done through the types of exercise we do, foods we eat, medication, and vitamins.
