NeuroSpot-Neurotransmitter Stress Test

Are you stressed out?

Chronic stress can make you sick. The brief state of alarm our body experiences can turn into a permanent state of alarm, triggering the continuous release of messenger substances such as adrenaline, noradrenaline, serotonin and cortisol. By testing your neurotransmitters, you can understand your unique stress response. There are personal patterns we can default to when pushed to a state of chronic stress and these aren't always visible to us. For example, why do you reach for a third slice of cake when stressed but your friend can barely look at food? Some of these are due to personality, but some can also be explained by our biochemical balance.

What are the roles of different hormones in our body?

Serotonin - often referred to as the "Happiness Hormone," is essential for maintaining emotional balance and regulating mood. Together with dopamine and adrenaline, it plays a significant part in motivation and overall well-being.

Dopamine - known as the "Feel Good Hormone," is vital for motor control, memory, learning, and concentration. It enhances mood and fuels motivation by managing the brain's reward system.

Noradrenaline - boosts attention, concentration, alertness, and motivation. It also plays a role in regulating blood pressure and hormone levels.

Adrenaline - commonly called the "Fight or Flight Hormone," prepares the body for rapid action by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and lung capacity. It enhances energy and physical readiness.

Cortisol - known as the "Stress Hormone," assists the body in responding to stress by activating metabolism and mobilizing energy reserves.

DHEA - known as the "Stress Hormone," assists the body in responding to stress by activating metabolism and mobilizing energy reserves.

GABA - the "Body's Natural Sedative," functions as the brain's calming neurotransmitter, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety by regulating the body's stress response.

Glutamate - known as the "Natural Stimulant and Brain's Detoxifier," is crucial for brain function, learning, memory, movement, and adapting to new experiences. It also helps detoxify ammonia in the brain.
