Neurotransmitter Testing

Neurotransmitter Testing is a diagnostic service that measures the levels of key neurotransmitters in the body, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. These chemical messengers regulate mood, energy levels, sleep, and mental health. The test typically involves collecting a urine or blood sample, which is then analyzed to determine neurotransmitter imbalances. Understanding these imbalances can help in diagnosing and treating conditions like depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and chronic fatigue.

Neurotransmitter Testing is beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms of mood disorders, chronic stress, or unexplained fatigue. Providing valuable insights to guide personalized treatment plans. The effects of treatment based on neurotransmitter testing can vary, but many patients notice improvements within a few weeks of starting a targeted therapy plan.
