San Diego Neurotransmitter Consulting
The human nervous system is arguably one of the most complex systems in nature. It is responsible for coordinating thousands of processes, from muscle contraction to crying.
The center of the nervous system is the brain,which contains over 100 billion specialized
cells called ne urons. The nervous system also contains very important chemical messengers
called neurotransmitters. The brain uses neurotransmitters to tell your heart to beat,your lungs to breathe, and your stomach to digest. Neurotransmitters are also necessary for thought processes, emotions, and other essential body functions including sleep, energy, and fear.
Clearly, a system with this much responsibility
needs to function properly in order for a
person to remain healthy. Unfortunately,
the nervous system can be easily disrupted
through a number of factors:
Stress • Poor diet • Toxic chemicals
Infections • Genetics
These factors can cause the levels of neurotransmitters to become either too high or too low. Imbalanced neurotransmitter levels can lead to:
Feelings of sadness • Feelings of anxiousness • Disrupted sleep • Fatigue • Behavioral problems • Foggy thinking • Headaches
The good news is that neurotransmitter levels can be measured, and, with the our help, options for improving nervous system function can be discussed.
We can run tests to check the function of your neurotransmitters, and put together an integrated, natural approach to restoring optimum function. |
