Neurotransmitters Testing

Integrative Neurotransmitters Testing in NYC

Introduction: Why Neurotransmitter Testing Needs a New Lens

Many patients experience chronic fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, or brain fog—but conventional medicine often overlooks neurochemical imbalances. At Patients Medical in NYC, we use functional neurotransmitter testing to dig beneath symptoms and treat the whole person. We analyze neurotransmitter metabolites to uncover the biochemical roots of mood, sleep, and cognitive health.

What Is Neurotransmitter Testing?

Neurotransmitter testing evaluates key neurochemicals (like serotonin, dopamine, GABA, norepinephrine) through urine or blood metabolite analysis. Urine tests—such as a 24‑hour comprehensive panel—assess how your body produces, processes, and eliminates neurotransmitters rupahealth.com vibrant-wellness.com. This provides insight into your neurochemical health, guiding us toward personalized interventions.

While these tests aren’t diagnostic of specific diseases, they do help clarify imbalances underlying conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and fatigue theblendinstitute.com theblendinstitute.com.

Limitations & Clinical Interpretation

Urine levels reflect whole-body neurotransmitter metabolism—not central nervous system directly. Results must be interpreted alongside symptoms, lifestyle, and health history pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov rupahealth.com.

At Patients Medical, we view neurotransmitter panels rigorously—understanding physiological influence without overinterpreting minor variations.

Case Study: Emily’s Calm Mind Restored

Emily, 38, suffered anxiety, insomnia, and midday fatigue. Our neurotransmitter test showed low GABA and serotonin, high glutamate. A personalized plan included 5‑HTP with B‑complex, magnesium, amino acid support, meditation, and acupuncture. Within 8 weeks, she experienced better sleep, reduced anxiety, and clearer focus.
