Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers in the nervous system that relay signals in the body, much like emails relay information from one person to the next. Due to stress, poor diet or genetic factors, these chemical messengers can become imbalanced over time leading to a variety of symptoms and conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, headaches, migraines, fatigue, weight issues, insomnia, memory problems, and chronic pain. Advances in scientific technology now provide the ability to measure these neurotransmitters to identify what is out of balance. Discovering your neurotransmitter excretion values in urine provides information on how to support the body using customized diet and nutrient regimens for optimal health.
Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine play important roles, collectively, in focus, memory, attention, and the pleasure and reward system.
Ok, But What Does All of That Mean?
Basically, if you have issues focusing or find yourself asking, "why is my memory so bad?" the answer may be related to chemical messengers, called neurotransmitters, that communicate messages between cells. These guys are the information super-highway responsible for just about everything from basic metabolic processes to... you guessed it—focus and memory. Dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine and histamine are some of the busy-body neurotransmitters that can impact focus and memory (positively and negatively)—it really just depends on the chemical balance, or chemical imbalance, of these neurotransmitters.
