Functional Assessments of Metabolic Disruptions in Mental Health

Mental Health, neuro-chemistry and neuroplasticity have become burgeoning markets in an integrative practice today perhaps due to greater public awareness of mental health concerns or the innovative science behind neuro-transmission pathways, nutrient and genetic constructs. In the neurological system, hormones, adrenals, nutrients and genetics are synergistic with neurotransmitters – modulating their production, signalling and metabolism. Because of this complex interplay, testing the clinical triggers and neurotransmitters together is the ideal way to generate a more precise assessment.
Functional assessments gives practitioners a more thorough evaluation of the systems that interact to govern key facets of mental health including mood, stress, anxiety, memory, and depression. The lab variants will offer a diagnostic edge allowing for zeroing on targeted therapies best suited for your patient.

In this webinar, you will get a broad overview of functional assessments in mental health with attention to key markers in interpretation and treatment strategies. Prioritisation of testing in mental health assessments will include:

• adrenals function – stress test
• nutrient imbalances – Pfeiffer protocol, amino acids
• toxicants – pyrroles, histamine, environmental pollutants
• neuro-transmission pathways – neurotransmitters
• genetics – methylation
