There are many products that can be used to supply the body the necessary building blocks that it needs to re-establish proper neurotransmitter function. Unfortunately, most of the products available over-the-counter, as well as many that are only available through licensed health care providers, do not provide adequate (or reproducible) amounts of the needed components.

We have received an incredible response to our series on Balancing the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems (if you haven’t read it, but sure and check it out – it’s a great primer for what we will discuss here!). Out of that series, we received several questions about how to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) with exercise. This is an interesting question, because exercise, especially when someone is just starting out or they are exercising intensely increases the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) rather than the PNS. However, the body is designed to spend most of its time in the PNS, and doing certain exercises can improve the PNS response and reduce the impact that stress has on your health. (more…)
Amino acid therapy is used to optimize neurotransmitter function so a person can eliminate signs and symptoms of neurotransmitter imbalance, including depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, difficulty sleeping, compulsive and/or addictive behaviors, cravings for sweets, increased or insatiable hunger, increased pain (like in fibromyalgia), chronic fatigue, the urge to pull and pick (as in trichotillomania), migraines, poor memory, inability to focus or concentrate (including ADD/ADHD), weight gain/inability to lose weight, restless legs, Parkinson’s disease and many gastrointestinal imbalances (including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).

Neurotransmitters help the body communicate with itself and direct most of the bodies functions. They are like little chemical messengers that relay information to and from the brain millions of times daily. Unfortunately, imbalances in neurotransmitters can create a whole host of problems, including depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, difficulty sleeping, compulsive and/or addictive behaviors, cravings for sweets, increased or insatiable hunger, increased pain (like in fibromyalgia), chronic fatigue, the urge to pull out hair (as in trichotillomania), migraines, poor memory, inability to focus or concentrate, weight gain/inability to lose weight, restless legs, Parkinson’s disease and many gastrointestinal imbalances (including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).

What if there was a way to completely manage the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease without side effects? This may have sounded like pure folly a few year’s ago, but now – it is possible. (more…)
Over the years, many supplements and botanical products have been used to try and reduce or eliminate the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, but very few have shown to be effective. However, there are a handful of products that have shown to be very important in addressing the root causes for the neurodegeneration associated with Parkinson’s disease, including amino acid therapy, specific B-vitamins, Coenzyme Q10, vitamin D, creatine, omega-3 fatty acids and green tea.
