Afternoon DHEA-s

It stands for Dehydroepiandrosterone and is a building block of steroid hormones that is produced predominantly in the adrenal glands. Considered the body’s anti-aging hormone, DHEA-S levels tend to fall with age.

Creatinine

Creatinine is used to calculate results and is not to be used diagnostically.

Dopamine

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that activates the brain’s reward center during pleasurable activities. Optimal dopamine function is involved in many aspects of health, including memory, movement, motivation, mood, attention, sleep, arousal,

Epinephrine

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a monoamine that serves as both a stress hormone and an excitatory neurotransmitter. It is produced by chromaffin cells within the adrenal medulla of the adrenal gland and is secreted into the bloodstream dur

Evening Cortisol

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. It is normally released in response to events and circumstances such as waking up in the morning, exercising, and acute stress.

GABA

GABA is a neurotransmitter that occurs naturally and is known for its calming effects on the body. It is also associated with regulating the sleep/wake cycle. If we experience feelings of anxiety or hyperactivity, it could indicate an imbalance in GA

Glutamate

Glutamate is a vital neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, involved in almost all significant excitatory brain functions. It is the primary and most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter, and it's estimated that over half of all neural s

Night Cortisol

The "Night Cortisol" marker on a Cortisol panel by Neurolab is a crucial measure that helps understand the functioning of the body's stress response system, specifically during nighttime. Cortisol, often called the stress hormone, is pr

Norepi/Epi Ratio

Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenaline, is important for mental focus and emotional stability. Norepinephrine functions as a neurotransmitter and hormone that regulates the “fight or flight” response and elevates blood pressure an

PEA

PEA stands for Beta-phenylethylamine and is an excitatory neurotransmitter made from phenylalanine and it modulates neuron voltage potentials to favor glutamate activity and neurotransmitter firing.

Serotonin

Serotonin is one of our happiness neurotransmitters that makes us feel good. When we are feeling anxious it can be a sign of serotonin imbalance. In addition to mood concerns, serotonin imbalance may also show up as sleep disruptions, gut issues, or
