Testing & Validity
Neurotransmitter testing is an important aspect of addressing neurotransmitter conditions and serves three important roles:
-
Quantitatively establishes the need for intervention
-
Guides the practitioner towards the proper course of action
-
Allows the practitioner to monitor treatment
Neurotransmitter levels are greatly affected by stress, lifestyle, genetics and diet and a laboratory evaluation of neurotransmitter levels has shown that approximately 70% of the population has some degree of neurotransmitter imbalance.
The validity of urinary neurotransmitter testing and its usefulness in a clinical setting has been well documented by numerous peer-reviewed journals.
