Adrenal hormones, sex hormones, and neurotransmitters are functionally interrelated. Changes in sex hormones and adrenal hormones can lead to neurotransmitter imbalances. In turn, neurotransmitter imbalances can affect hormone function. The following tests are recommended to establish your baseline.
Neurotransmitters: Serotonin, GABA, Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Glutamate, Glycine, Histamine, PEA
Sex Hormones: Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone,
Adrenal Hormones: DHEA
Cortisol 4 samples. Morning, noon, evening, and night.
This is the test I chose for neurotransmitters, it's a urine test (not an endorsement). It covers damn near everything! GABA, Serotonin, Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Glutamate, Histamine, glycine, Metanephrine, Tryptamine, Tyrosine, Tyramine, Taurine, Aspartate, Serine, 5-htp, L-DOPA, Tryptophan, Quinolinic Acid, Kyneurenic Acid, HVA / VMA Ratio, HVA / DOPAC Ratio, Acetylcholine, 5-HIAA, PEA, Normetanephrine, VMA, 3-Methoxytramine, Oxytocin, Xanthurenic acid nutritionallyyourstestkits....
This is the test for Adrenals and Hormones. This is a saliva test: Adrenals: Cortisol x 4 (AM, Noon, late afternoon, PM), DHEA-S, 17-OH progesterone (cortisol reserve)
Female Hormones: FSH, LH, Estrone, Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone)
Male Hormones: LH, FSH, Estradiol (E2), Estrone (E1), Progesterone, Testosterone, Androstendeione, Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) nutritionallyyourstestkits....
You receive the results, no doctors order needed!
It's reckless IMO to start blocking or promoting neurotransmitters before you know your status. Be safe!
