Neurotransmitter Balancing: Be Whatever You Want To Be!

We always associate our personalities not with our hormones or our brains, but more with just an inherent characteristic. It’s either a flaw or something we appreciate. It’s just “who we are.”

As a matter of fact, this type of thinking seems to be very common in the United States. It’s normal for Americans to believe that what we are or what we have is what we are stuck with, whether it works or doesn’t work, we learn to live with our shortfalls.

But what if someone told you that you had the power to change it?

Take a look at some of the people in your office:

  • Your boss or executive type. They are leaders, social and graceful, they handle the situation with authority.
  • How about the free spirit? The one who does whatever they want whenever they want? They are confident and free, but happy.
  • Or the thinker. The thinker seems to be able to solve any problem without breaking a sweat. Planning and concentration comes easy to them and they work with what they have to come up with solutions.
  • And what about the do-er. The one who just gets it done. The worker bee.

Are you jealous of those personality types? Are there some characteristics you feel like you are lacking, but wish for?

The solution here is neurotransmitter balancing, along with a program of lifestyle modification. Many of those deficiencies that you think are just part of your personality, are actually imbalances that can be solved with a program available at our offices.

Isn’t is fascinating to know that you can get rid of personality flaws? That you can be the success you want to be? That if you are fearful to take the lead, you can change that. If you are not concerned with finding happiness, you can change that. If you have a hard time remembering, you can help that, too!

Let’s first learn about the four types of neurotransmitters:

Dopamine:

  • Do you ever feel like you aren’t interested in sex anymore?
  • Do you feel like you can’t lose weight?
  • Do you feel like people take advantage of you?
  • Do you feel like you can’t wake up no matter what?
  • Do you have trouble concentrating or not thinking fast enough?

You might be dopamine deficient. This, very powerful characteristic, is what makes up our CEOs and leaders. It is linked to executives and those who can think fast, make decisions, achieve their goals. Dopamine personalities are confident and good at getting and keeping relationships.

People are full of energy and thoughts. They are social and outgoing, and sexually dominant.

Which leads us to dopamine deficiency. People who are dopamine deficient often have fatigue and depression. They are often obese and have addictions. Usually they need coffee to get up in the morning and lack motivation. Their motivation for sex is also decreased and they often sleep too much. They are also more likely to do what others tell them to do rather than lead.

Let’s take for example you are at a meeting at work. Who is leading the meeting? Is it you? If it’s not, do you wish that it was you but you don’t really have the energy to push yourself to be that leader?

Neurotransmitter balancing, and working with bioidentical hormone replacement can help balance estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, HGH, DHEA and thyroxine, which determines the traits in which you are deficient.

Someone who is dopamine deficient should also look to a diet that has smaller, higher protein meals. They should restrict carbohydrates, eat rice and leafy vegetables, milk, cottage cheese, curd, chicken, dark chocolate, duck, eggs, pork, ricotta, Turkey, walnuts, and soy beans.

Acetycholine:

  • Do you have a hard time remembering dates and numbers?
  • Are you often embarrassed for forgetting anniversaries or not being romantic enough when you do remember?

Acetylcholine is responsible for memory. These personalities can quickly recall facts and dates. It comes natural for them to look back and recapture information. It is also very easy for them to quickly process and use that information at the moment.

Acetycholine personalities are quick to learn languages and pay good attention. They have good imaginations and are often smart. They also enjoy aroma and beauty. They like to flirt and are romantics. And they love to look toward a better future and creating harmony.

Are you afraid that you don’t see these personality traits in yourself? Maybe this sounds more like you:

Those who have low acetylcholine have poor memories, insomnia, and have a hard time being romantic. They suffer with depression, have a hard time with relationships and caring about others and are often obsessed with their own deficiencies.

Many times those who have low acetycholine have a loss of creativity and even suffer from learning disorders.

Some of the conditions associated with low acetycholine include Alzheimers and dementia.

Do you wish that you could be more romantic? Maybe remembering your anniversary would be a good start, or coming up with the perfect gift. Are you sick of forgetting things at work, being passed up for promotions because something else can take in and remember information better than you can.

If you find yourself in this category, it doesn’t mean it’s just your personality type and you have to live with it forever. It rather means that you can now take control of your life and see what you need to make your future successful and happy.

The hormones that could be responsible include estrogen, pregnenolone, HGH and DHEA.

Some of the food associated with helping up your acetycholine include almonds, artichokes, beef, broccoli, egg, cabbage, fish, liver, pork, shrimp, avocado, cucumber and zucchini.

GABA:

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter, is associated with calmness, memory, concentration.

  • Do you feel like you have a hard time concentrating?
  • Are you always nervous and shaky around others?
  • Are you embarrassed that you have sweaty palms?
  • Is it easy for you to get overwhelmed, even to the point of panic attacks?

GABA personalities are our cool, calm and collected friends. They are the ones who can handle anything, and can be counted on for anything, because they always come through.
The inhibitory neuronal transmitter suppresses the outside environment and allows the person to concentrate.

These people have great memories and don’t need caffeine to wake up. They follow the rules and can achieve the goal without breaking or bending rules. They are logical and often fiscally responsible.

People who have GABA deficiency often find it hard to concentrate, remember or even focus. Physical symptoms often accompany this, and it includes sweating, palpitations and shaking. People who suffer from GABA deficiency can’t keep friends, lie often and lose friends. Many times they break the law and have mood swings.

Some serious side effects include tremors, anxiety, insomnia, and even seizures. GABA deficient people tend to be associated with epilepsy, sleep disorders, and drug and alcohol addiction.

There is something that you can do! With a tailored plan of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, neurotransmitter balancing, the right foods, stress relief solutions and supplements tailored to your specific needs, it is possible to for you to get the personality traits that you lack.

Hormones associated with GABA and GABA deficiency are progesterone and pregnenolone, which we would work with when you came to our offices.

Foods that you can look to also help include almonds, bananas, liver, broccoli, brown rice, lentils, oranges, potato, spinach, and walnuts.

Serotonin:

 

Serotonin is the lover of life and learning and happiness.

  • Do you find yourself wishing that you were happier?
  • Do you crave sugar all the time?
  • Are you not interested with sex or any sexual partner?

People associated with the Serotonin personality use all of their senses to achieve pleasure. They are enthusiastic and happy. They love challenges and goals and look for joy.

They are very perceptive and can concentrate easily. A good memory is natural for them and they use it to solve problems quickly and with a good persona. They don’t really crave sweets and enjoy the outdoors.

Sexually, they are said to be very open and experimental, dramatic and spontaneous, as they are in their everyday lives.

Serotonin deficiency can include memory problems and slow reactions. Insomnia and depression can also be the result of low Serotonin, as are sugar cravings. Suicidal thoughts are also related to serotonin deficiency.

Foods that are said to help with serotonin include avocado, cheese, chicken, chocolate, cottage cheese, duck, egg, pork, turkey, yogurt, and milk.

Jogging, walking, yoga and aerobics are encouraged.

Progesterone, HGH, pregnenolone are the hormones associated with serotonin deficiency.

You might now wonder how it’s possible to become something different. Can you really change the way you have been for years? Yes.

Because the hard truth is that being productive cannot be managed unless you have your hormones balanced. No matter how valuable the advice is, you must balance your hormones and your neurotransmitters as well as be open to more changes in your daily life.

Let’s take for example, a very typical problem. There are too many things to do and remember (memory, motivation and attention) and too much stress (stress reduction techniques).

You have too much on your mind and need clarification! too much in your mind, you need clarifications for many things. What you need here is rapid and clear thinking. You need to manage your actions, be more motivated and get rid of the unnecessary. For this, you need GABA.

And, sure, we could all use a couple of more hours in the day to do everything we need to do. But, we aren’t going to get it. So, how is it that some people do fine with what they have, while others feel helpless.

The real problem is a lack of clarity and definition of what a project really is and what the associated next action steps required are. In order to get that you need: motivation, memory, GABA to suppress unnecessary stimuli and obviously you need a good mood -- serotonin.

Also you need some energy and good sleep: testosterone estrogen and progesterone balancing.

The entire process should go like this:

1. You need to be captured: need  motivation, attention, memory and discipline. For this, you need dopamine,  acetylcholine, GABA.

2. Process: you need energy, hence no stress. Your cortisol level should be normal and you have to be able to think quickly. For that you need acethylcholine, and GABA  to remove all unnecessary stimuli which can only distract you.

3. Organize: You need GABA and acethylcholine.

4. Review:  You need GABA and acethylcholine.

5. Then it has to be done: You need motivation: dopamine, and energy: cortisol level. You also need a quick mind: acethylcholine, and concentration: GABA.

It is easily attainable to achieve your goals! Restore your natural balance and open the door to success!
