Why should you care about your neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters play a vital role in our lives. Our brains use neurotransmitters to tell our hearts to beat, our lungs to breathe, and our stomachs to digest our food.
Neurotransmitters are significant influencers in our moods, the quality of our sleep, and our ability to focus. If our neurotransmitters become unbalanced, a variety of different symptoms can develop that lead to adverse effects on our emotions over time.

Part 1: Diagnostic Testing Revealed
In November 2020, after having spent more than a year trying to feel better about himself, 24-year-old "Alex" was ready to toss in the towel.
"Nothing I do has helped. So what's the point?" he asked.
Alex had been struggling with severe symptoms of apathy, daytime fatigue, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and sleep disruption.
Being under the supervision of a psychiatrist for over a year helped Alex to stabilize his life. The visits empowered him to continue to seek out solutions.
But, overall, his sense of well-being hadn't improved.
After being referred to Canary Club, Alex took the ZRT NeuroTransmitterProfile where he discovered he had 23 key levels out of the normal range.
Part 1: We cover Alex's journey to his decision to take at-home diagnostic testing to help give answers.
Part 2: Next month we will review Alex's progress as he works with a health coach to help bring his levels into balance.

Part 2: A Journey to Freedom
We introduced you to 24-year-old "Alex" in our Part 1 Story in Jan 2021.
Alex had been struggling with severe symptoms of fatigue, depression, anxiety, and sleep restlessness. These symptoms contributed to Alex losing two well-paying jobs that he loved in less than a year.
Motivated by his persistent symptoms, Alex completed the ZRT NeuroTransmitter Profile (with add-ons) in Nov 2020.
His lab reports showed he had 23 out-of-range levels that were directly linked to the serious symptoms he had been feeling for an extended number of years.
In this article, we review Alex's progress as he works with a health coach to help bring his levels into balance.
