Neurotransmitters are secreted all through the body, in neurons of both the central and peripheral nervous systems.
I am excited to announce new functional nutrition tests. Functional nutrition tests for neurotransmitters  can help support energy, mood and addictions.
This can provide valuable insights for a range of health concerns.
Neurotransmitter tests can determine whether your neurotransmitter levels are too low or too high.
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps regulate GABA, on the other hand, is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps regulate anxiety and stress levels in the brain. Foods that are rich in glutamate, such as broccoli and spinach, can help support GABA productionÂ
Additionally, consuming foods that are rich in magnesium, such as almonds and spinach, can help support GABA function.
There are also other supporting neurotransmitters that play a role in overall brain health.
Serotonin, for example, is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and can be supported by consuming foods that are rich in tryptophan, such as bananas and turkey.
If you are struggling with the following symptoms get in touch. It may be due to your neurotransmitters and there is a lot we can achieve with tweaks in your nutrition and lifestyle.

It can be difficult to stop emotional eating, especially when itâs become a habit over a long period of time. But donât worryâitâs absolutely possible to address emotional eating and pay attention to your true hunger cues, allowing you to work through your emotions separately.

Sometimes you can be dehydrated and confused about hunger sensations.
Wait five minutes before eating when you feel hungry.
Try to identify your emotions before eating. How are you feeling? How do you want to feel? If you are feeling tired, bored, lonely, angry, sad it can be helpful to find another way to sooth other than food.

What are adrenal glands and where are they located?
Your adrenal glands play a very important role in maintaining your health. They are incredibly small, about the size and weight of a coin. They are located above your kidneys, just below the muscle tissue of your lower back.
What do adrenal glands do?
Our adrenal glands are responsible for many things that assist in regulating our body and hormones, including thyroid and reproductive hormones. They are also responsible for managing stress, the amount of inflammation in our body, our immune system, our blood sugar levels and the electrolytes in our blood. They influence all the physiological functions processes of the body and help stave off physical fatigue.
Signs your adrenal health needs support
When there is something wrong with our body, it will start to signal us that something needs to be addressed. Here is how your adrenal glands will signal you that something is wrong.
How to improve your adrenal health
If you suspect your adrenal glands may need some care and attention, try some of the following tips.
Make sure that you get quality sleep for 9 to 10 hours. Sleep and wake up at the same times to get your body in a rhythm. It needs to follow a routine to start to heal.
Set aside at least 30 minutes a day for exercise, no matter how busy or tired you may be.
To improve your adrenal health, add proteins, healthy carbs, zinc, calcium, and vitamins (especially C and D) to your diet. Also increase foods like coconuts, avocados, olives, chia seeds, bone broth, nuts, vegetables and fish, but make sure you do all of this in moderation.

Phone addiction is becoming more and more serious and is not something to be taken lightly. Phone addiction is very real and can make you anxious or cause you to lose focus on things that are so much more important than that Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or WhatsApp update that you checked five seconds ago. Your phone addiction can harm your mental health, personal health, and social relationships, even potentially causing you to fall prey to depression or anxiety.
If you are reading this article, you may have already experienced some anxiety or bad days due to your phone addiction. Do not fear; here are some tips to do a quick, easy phone detox to help curb your phone addiction.
Resist the urge to check your phone the second you wake up. Get an actual alarm clock to wake you up in the mornings so you have no excuse to touch your phone at all. If you still find it hard to resist the urge to use your phone the first thing in the morning then there are three things that you can do.
Make a rule that whenever you are with your family, the phones stay away. So if you go out with your family to dinner, to the mall, or another special activity, do not take your phone with you. Keep use limited during vacations and road trips. Focus on spending quality, uninterrupted time with your family. Plan activities like games or movies that keep everyone occupied and avoiding the âboredom slideâ that leads to phone overuse.
There are phone detox apps like âCheekyâ or âForrestâ designed to help wean you off that phone with a specific challenge. âForrestâ lets you set a timer for up to 110 minutes during which you select a little tree. The tree starts to grow from a little seed and in order to successfully grow your tree, you have to leave your phone alone. If you leave that app then your tree dies.
You might be doing well with your phone detox when a notification pops up and you are quickly sucked back in to aimlessly wasting time or checking your phone. Put your phone in airplane mode and turn off or disable pop up notifications for all your apps. Â Instead, set deliberate times for checking any messages. You control your phone; do not let it control you.
