Synthetic chemicals can mimic hormones and interfere with or disrupt the delicate balance of hormone messaging.

How Do Hormone Disrupting Chemicals Affect Our Health?

Can My Pet’s Health Be a Forewarning of Hormone Disrupters in My Home?

I watched my dog's cough worsen over several months.  The vet couldn't find a reason as to what could be causing such a condition.  Scooter's favorite place was in his bed at my feet while I worked at the computer. I had purchased the pet bed only a few months before, and, one day, as he went to bed, the cause finally became obvious. His coughing would spike when he was sitting in his bed.  He was being exposed to higher levels of toxic chemicals coming from the materials in the bed. 

Like a canary in the coal mine, my best friend was telling me there was danger in my home.

Was I exposing my family and friends to chemicals known to be irritating and harmful? The question plagued me so much that I began researching some of the toxins known to cause health problems. I was shocked to learn how many of these toxins surround us.

A Healthy Thyroid Helps You Have Energy to Enjoy Life

Have Yourself a Healthy Thyroid

Don't Have Enough Vitality? Let's Look at Your Thyroid

Do you have enough vitality to enjoy your life?

Getting Your Hormone Levels Back Into Shape

Wellness Can't Happen When Hormones Are Out-of-Balance

Have you ever been exposed to Heavy Metals?

Are Heavy Metals Damaging ​​​​​​​Your Health?

The Lurking Threat

When you hear the words “toxic chemicals”, chances are good they conjure specific images. Perhaps you remember the town of Hinkley, California, poisoned by PG&E’s chemical leeching pools1. Or maybe you think about oil spills, like the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico2. Those certainly qualify, but the truth is that toxic chemicals are all around us, every day.

They’re in the foods we eat, the water we drink, and even in the surfaces that we touch. These toxic chemicals, are known by many names.  Heavy metals like lead and mercury are familiar names, and the not quite so every day names of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are a persistent, ever-present threat to your health, as well as that of your children.

You can test for levels of many of these toxins in your body through several of our available test profiles for Heavy Metals and Essential Elements.

Have you spent a lifetime imprisoned by Neurotransmitter Imbalances?

Alex's Story: Imprisoned by Neurotransmitter Imbalance

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.

"Alex's" Journey: Freedom from Neurotransmitter Imbalances

Alex's Story: Freed from Neurotransmitter Imbalances

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.
