Neurotransmitters dysfunction and obesity: What is a neurotransmitter?
Neurotransmitters are naturally occurring chemicals that “transmit” electrical messages between nerve cells, called “neurons” hence the name neurotransmitters. They are produced in the body by amino acids with the help of vitamins and minerals. From the experts’ desk at AWAREmed health and wellness resource center under the leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, we get these amino acids, vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. However, if we are not getting enough of these or in an imbalanced ratio a deficiency occurs and over time can lead to the development of diseases and illnesses associated with low levels of neurotransmitters dysfunction.
Diseases linked neurotransmitter dysfunction?
According to Neuro-Research a list of diseases or illnesses are caused by or associated with neurotransmitter dysfunction. Neurotransmitter dysfunction leads to obesity and the diseases resulting from obesity, as well as other diseases not necessarily associated with obesity. There are four known primary causes of neurotransmitter dysfunction.
1: Nutritional Deficiency
2: Prescription drugs
3: Damage to the neurons of the brain
4: Excess excretion of neurotransmitters by the kidneys
Having known the causes, it is equally important for us to ask certain questions for a better understanding of what we are dealing with. Doctor Akoury is going to help us respond to some of these questions and therefore if you have any concerns about this topic, you can always schedule an appointment with doctor Akoury for a one on one discussion. And as you consider doing that, before we get to the questions, it will interest you to note that doctor Akoury founded this facility to primarily transform each individual’s life through increasing awareness about health and wellness and by empowering individuals to find their own inner healing power. Now back to the questions:
Why is lab testing only used after starting amino acid therapy?
This is a common question. We are used to a medical community that runs tests first and then treats based on the test. However with neurotransmitters, hyper excretion is a common problem. Hyper excretion results when the kidneys are excreting excessive amounts of neurotransmitters so that the urinary values don’t match up with the systemic values. Once treatment starts with amino acids this problem doesn’t seem to occur. Therefore testing is NOT performed prior to supplementation with amino acids.
How many supplements are involved in treatment and what is each doing?
There are two different programs available for treatment. The first specifically treats neurotransmitter dysfunction resulting in the “conditions related to obesity and neurotransmitter deficiency” listed right. The second program treats neurotransmitter dysfunction as well as weight loss by incorporating an appetite suppressant in the formula. This will assist in controlling your appetite, however, calorie restriction is still necessary to accomplish long-term weight loss. This second program can also be used to treat symptoms associated with Parkinsonism.
If only one neurotransmitter system is not functioning properly, why do I have to take supplements that affect both systems?
The reason is simple, according to Neuro-Research’s extensive research, 5% of patients have only serotonin dysfunction, 5% of patients have only catecholamine dysfunction and 90% of patients are a mixture of both. Both systems must be functioning properly for the entire system to be healthy and free of neurotransmitter disease. After you have started the program we will monitor your symptoms and lab test results and adjust the supplements accordingly.
