Neurotransmitters are a class of chemical messengers in the body that help regulate, either directly or indirectly, most of the other systems and functions in the body. If there are imbalances in these neurotransmitters, many bodily functions will start to function inappropriately, which can lead to a number of unpleasant or debilitating symptoms.
Many people have heard of some of the more common neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and are familiar with at least some of their functions in regards to mood (especially depression) and sleep (serotonin is the immediate precursor to melatonin, which helps you fall asleep and stay asleep). What most people do not know is that neurotransmitter imbalances can dramatically affect many other aspects of your health and can cause or exacerbate any of the following conditions:
Depression | Anxiety | Migraines |
Insomnia | Cravings | Increased appetite |
Low pain tolerance | Hot flashes | Mood swings |
PMS | Sleep difficulties | Poor memory |
Weight gain | Poor weight loss | Hormone imbalances |
Poor mental focus | Poor concentration | Restless legs |
Fibromyalgia | Fatigue/Chronic fatigue | Poor thyroid function |
Parkinson’s Disease | ADD/ADHD | Trichotillomania |
Addictions | Binging behavior | Eating disorders |
Obsessive thoughts | Compulsion | Crohn’s disease |
The key point is that when imbalances in neurotransmitters occur, information is not relayed optimally in the brain which causes symptoms. Most people exhibit more than one of these conditions but fail to make the connection between them. This connection is not made because most health care professionals don’t know much about brain chemistry or how to use amino acid therapy to correct the underlying neurotransmitter imbalances.
We have a novel approach to help those with these disorders substantially reduce and/or eliminate their symptoms. It is based on underlying biochemical imbalances in brain chemistry, and it works. To find out more, contact us; we’ve help thousands of people all over the world reach a higher state of health and we’d love the opportunity to assist you in achieving your health goals.

I am recovering from major gastric surgery and my fibromyalgia symptoms are making my recovering very difficult. Before my surgery I was able to control my symptoms with exercise and celebrex, along with getting enough sleep and some supplements. I am not able to take celebrex any more and I am looking for help in controlling my symptoms. During my hospital at St Mark’s hospital in Salt Lake City, Pierre Zabel was one of my doctors. He thought you might be able to help me.

Hi Wendy,
Great to hear from you. It is likely that we will be able to help, but I’ll need some more information before we get started. Please give our office a call (608-274-7044) and set up an initial phone consultation (it’s just $60); my office manager will give you our address/fax number so you can forward me your labs.
I look forward to speaking with you!
Sincerely,
Dr. Chad
