acute conditions from depression to metabolic syndrome
Inhibitory Neurotransmitters
Serotonin GABA
Excitatory Neurotransmitters
Dopamine Nor-
epinephrine Epinephrine Glutamate
Adrenal Hormones
DHEA-s – (2-point)
Cortisol – (4-point)
Neurotransmitters
Anxious? Depressed? Mood swings? Difficulty sleeping? Experiencing pain? Lacking motivation? Low libido?
Pharmaceutical Drugs
Mood-altering drugs are considered affective if it reduces depression 50%
SSRI’s help 30-50 % of the time but have side effects 86% of the time
Turner looked at 74 clinical trials and found the drug worked 51% and the placebo 49%Erick H Turner MD, et al. “Selective Publication of Antidepressant Trials and Its Influence on Apparent Efficacy,” NEJM (January 17, 2008); 358: 252-60.
Evolution of Model Mood Disorders
Middle Ages: Demons within-exorcism is therapy of choice
1917: Freud explains that those demons are really our mothers
1988: Eli Lilly releases our mothers from 80 years of victimization, explaining that depression is really a Prozac deficiency
Dr. Hedaya, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Georgetown University.
Disease Management & the Organization of Physician Practice
“There is a large gap between what physicians do for
patients with chronic diseases and what should be done.”

Causes of Neurotransmitter
Imbalance Life Gluten Lack of nutrition and
blood sugar Hormone imbalance
Low thyroid Adrenal fatigue Toxins Infections Lack of sleep
LIFE
Causes of Neurotransmitter
Imbalance Life Gluten Lack of nutrition and
blood sugar Hormone imbalance
Low thyroid Adrenal fatigue Toxins Infections Lack of sleep
Gluten Sensitivity
Depression in 52% Injured GI lining decreases the effectiveness of
absorbing essential nutrients to keep the brain healthy.
Zinc, tryptophan, and B Vitamins “second brain” produces 80-90 percent of serotonin
Causes of Neurotransmitter
Imbalance Life Gluten Lack of nutrition
and blood sugar Hormone imbalance
Low thyroid Adrenal fatigue Toxins Infections Lack of sleep
Vitamin D
Low levels contribute to depression and chronic fatigue
Adequate Vitamin D needed by the adrenal gland for the production of dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine
Several months of supplementation
High Blood Sugar
“when your blood sugar rises there is an immediate depletion of the
neurotransmitters serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, GABA, and dopamine. B-complex, which is needed to make neurotransmitters, gets used
up.”David Perlmutter, MD, Grain Brain (New York, Boston, London: Little, Brown and Company, 2013).

High Blood Sugar
“ The most powerful tool you have to change your body and your health is
your fork.”
Mark Hyman, MD

imbalance
Low thyroid Adrenal fatigue Toxins Infections Lack of sleep
Hormone Imbalance: Statins
“If you deprive the brain of cholesterol, then you directly affect the machinery that
triggers the release of neurotransmitters.
Cholesterol changes the shape of the proteins to stimulate thinking and memory.”
David Perlmutter, MD, Grain Brain (New York, Boston, London: Little, Brown and Company, 2013).

Amino acids
“We have found that if a drug can be found to do the job of medical healing, a nutrient can be found
to do the same job. We now know that if we give the amino acids the body will synthesize
neurotransmitters, thereby achieving the same effect as drugs.
The challenge of the future is to replace drugs with these natural healers.”
Dr. Carl Pfeiffer, a pioneer amino-acid researcher.
Step 1: Assessment
• Assess the patients’ neurotransmitter and adrenal hormone biomarkers with a non-invasive laboratory test
• Establishes a baseline on first test, looking for imbalances affecting HPA-T axis function.
• Important tool for monitoring and adjusting therapy to meet the patient’s individual biochemical needs
Step 2: Correlation
• Personalized laboratory results to patient specific symptoms and, current treatments, and lifestyle factors
• Comprehensive review of patient’s neuroendocrine system
Step 3: Correction
Sanesco’s exclusive line of TNT products are natural, non-drug formulas balanced with specific low dose amino acid precursors and nutrient cofactors designed to support neurotransmitter and hormone pathways showing imbalances affecting HPA-T axis function.
Targeted Nutritional Therapy- safe & clinically effective
