Many people that come into the office are often amazed to hear that a number of their symptoms can be caused by neurotransmitter imbalance. A recent client came in suffering from trich. During her initial interview, she also told me that she suffered from constant anxiety, intermittent depression, sleep problems and insomnia in addition to restless legs every time she laid down. I told her this all made perfect sense and she just stared at me. “How could this possibly make sense?” she asked. I went on to tell her how neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain can manifest themselves in all sorts of ways including:
| Anxiety | Depression | Sleep problems and insomnia |
| Migraine headaches | Trichotillomania | Obsessive/compulsive behaviors |
| ADD/ADHD | Addictions | Food cravings/binges |
| Excessive pain | Memory problems | Restless leg syndrome |
Most of the time, a person exhibits more than just one symptom of neurotransmitter imbalance, they just don’t make the connection that their symptoms are related.
“I wouldn’t have believed it if I wasn’t living it.
This is a miracle.”
As I explained this, I could see a light bulb go off in my clients head as her stare turned to an expectant grin, “Does this mean that I can address all of those problems using amino acid therapy?” To which I answered, “It most certainly does. As we continue to rebalance your neurotransmitter levels and restore optimal functioning, the symptoms associated with imbalance will disappear.”
She left the office with a new-found hope. That hope turned into amazement and disbelief as her symptoms began to disappear one by one. Now, she is living a life without the burden of constant anxiety or sleep problems; she no longer has restless legs and she is no longer pulling. “I wouldn’t have believed it if I wasn’t living it. This is a miracle.”
I replied, “It’s not a miracle – it’s better living through science.” Using a targeted approach incorporating amino acid therapy will help improve the status and function of your neurotransmitter levels. When this happens, the symptoms associated with the imbalances disappear, and you can get on with your life.
