can demonstrate if adrenal insufficiency is present. A naturopathic doctor can help to recommend supplements to regulate and balance adequate cortisol levels if defi- cient or in excess. When these factors are supplemented accordingly not only will lab values improve, but patients will report significant improvement in symptoms. Our office has done over a dozen case studies with use of neurotransmitter and cortisol testing that have shown both clinical and lab value improvements over the course of three months once supplements are used to support these areas of weakness.
Supplements to Support Neurotransmitters
One commonly known for depres- sion and mood support is 5-HTP. 5-HTP contains l-trytophan which is a precursor to serotonin. Serotonin is related to mood regulation and can help support both anxi- ety and depression. Serotonin is important for cognition, mood, and behavior. Low tryptophan levels may decrease both se- rotonin and melatonin levels as your body uses tryptophan for both. For this reason, it is often recommended before sleep, though many benefit by taking during the day to help improve overall function.
B vitamins are critical to support, particularly B5 which supports the adrenal gland; B9, B12 and B6 help to support stress and anxiety levels. B vitamins work synergistically together and are often best taken as a complex. We expend B vitamins throughout the day as they help to support our energy cycle and they get depleted quickly with continued stress and anxiety. B vitamins can be consumed from dark leafy vegetables, whole grains, and fruits. Supplementation of B vitamins may be necessary and the amount should be carefully recommended by an expert in integrative medicine.
Lifestyle Recommendations to Reduce Anxiety
When I work with patients, I also recommend important lifestyle recommen- dations. Exercise produces endorphins that decrease stress and improve the ability to sleep. Meditation, breathing exercises and acupuncture help with anxiety and depres- sion and are important to incorporate daily as they support long-term management of anxiety and depression. Some other helpful natural supports include teas like Passionflower tea, Holy Basil and Ginseng tea. These teas help to reduce stress and are adaptogens for the adrenal glands. They are gentle ways to support energy production in addition to helping balance stress and lead to lifelong positive change.
