add to cartWhy is that, as we get older, stress related health conditions seem to invade our lives?

Remember when we were able to concentrate, complete tasks, and cope with day-to-day living? On the other side of the coin we were able to rest, relax, and enjoy our days? Now it seems as if everything has suffered; achievements are less because of our inability to focus, stress follows because of lack of achievements, home life is affected, relationships suffer, and to complete the circle we can no longer escape the agitation of the whole situation because relaxation and rest are miles away.

Today’s multi-tasking lifestyle and high paced society propels us into this situation. If you are experiencing any of the following there is an ANSWER!!

Do you experience?

The ANSWER is that the body’s stress response system is dysfunctional. It is a physical problem interconnected with your emotional issues. The brain chemicals that help us to respond to stress appropriately can be in limited supply due to diet, stress, exposure to toxins, and/or genetics.

We are here to help! The Expanded NeuroScreen Profile is the most comprehensive neurotransmitter test panel available. It will reveal levels of your brain chemicals and then I can suggest specific and effective all natural ways to restore you to balance. This profile tests the levels of creatine, twelve neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, GABA, PEA, histamine, taurine, glycine, glutamate, DOPAC, 5-HIAA.

Here is what The Expanded NeuroScreen Profile measures:
