What you eat, and what you don’t eat, can have a considerable impact on your brain chemistry. Food provides your brain with the precursors necessary to synthesize and activate your neurotransmitters. A diet lacking in these nutrients can strongly influence your mood and behavior. Imbalanced blood sugar levels, food sensitivities, dysbiosis, heavy metal toxicity, inflammation and nutrient deficiencies can all trigger depression, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar disorder.
We recommend our comprehensive neurotransmitter test which assesses your level of neurotransmitters and stress hormones. From this we can create a highly targeted protocol to rebalance your brain chemistry and decrease your symptoms. Concurrently, we aim to identify the core root of your neurotransmitter imbalance.
We remove foods that may be exacerbating your symptoms, while simultaneously expanding your diet to include foods that promote a sustained release of your neurotransmitters. Simple recipes, snack ideas and shopping lists with mood uplifting foods will be incorporated into your plan. Supplements of amino acids, vitamins and minerals may also be recommended provided there are no contraindications with your current medication. If your aim is to reduce your medication, we can work with your doctor to do so.
