Your Health Is In Your Head
Effective, long-lasting treatments are the ones that incorporate the brain in both diagnosis and restorative recommendations. Being aware of brain-based symptoms that are related to specific anatomic/functional areas — and the biochemicals related to them — enables us to take charge of our own health. With knowledge of the primary neurotransmitters, we can ask the right questions when issues related to hormones and medications arise. And, when mild symptoms first appear, that knowledge allows us to use the readily-available natural alternatives of diet and nutritional supplements to re-charge our brains.
If you use your head, your precious health will be in your hands.
