How a Neurotransmitter Imbalance Test Can Reveal the Root Cause of Anxiety and Depression

Stress, anxiety, and depression have become almost an epidemic in adults living in today's fast-paced world. While lifestyle factors, genetic factor, and external stressors do play their part, there is another critical yet often-overlooked element behind such emotional struggles: an imbalance in neurotransmitters. These tiny chemical messengers regulate how we think, feel, and act; even a small imbalance can impact one's mood, motivation, sleep, and concentration. What people are probably not aware of is that our mood states do not originate from either thoughts or situations but have deep roots in brain chemistry. For example, it may be that serotonin imbalances depressed you constantly or made you anxious, while a deficiency in dopamine depleted your motivation and pleasure. Over longer periods of time, this could present itself in the forms of chronic fatigue, irritability, or even clinical depression. According to the World Mental Health Studies, almost every 1 out of 4 adu...

Neurotransmitter Level Testing: The Key to Understanding Mental Health Better

When we generally discuss mental illness, we may consider stress, lifestyle, or genetics—but here's an interesting perspective: your brain's "chemical texting system" can be quietly influencing your feelings and behaviours. Just as your phone requires a good signal to work, your brain requires the proper balance of neurotransmitters to calm you, focus you, and make you happy. When those signals get jumbled up, your mood and energy take a drastic nosedive. Mental illness has been one of the largest health issues of the modern age. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that 1 in 8 adults worldwide has a mental illness, and conditions related to stress are on the increase. Lifestyle and environment are their contributors, but an oft-overlooked contributor is neurotransmitter imbalance—a break in the brain's chemical messengers that control mood, energy, attention, and stress response. Here's an interesting fact you might not know: Did you know that there ar...

How Food Intolerance Testing Can Help You Restore Emotional Balance

In today’s fast-paced world, we often attribute mood swings, anxiety, and emotional burnout to stress, lack of sleep, or hormonal changes. However, we often overlook the food we consume and how it could be a major contributor to our mental health issues. Here’s something most people don’t know: your gut produces up to 90% of your serotonin, the hormone responsible for happiness. So, when your gut is unhappy—say, because of undetected food intolerances—your mood takes a hit too. Many research studies have highlighted a critical link between food intolerance and emotional imbalance. Unlike food allergies that cause immediate and noticeable reactions, food intolerances trigger delayed, low-grade inflammation, quietly affecting your gut, brain, and mood over time. Understanding what your body can—and can’t—tolerate is the first step toward natural healing. And that’s exactly where a food intolerance test like ImuPro by DBAD comes into play.  It helps identify the root cause of your sy...

Understanding the Gut-Skin Link: The Role of Food Intolerance Testing

 Some common skin problems like acne, eczema, or persistent rashes are often treated with creams, antibiotics, or lifestyle changes. But what if the true culprit lies deeper—within your gut?  🧠 Several research studies reveal a fascinating connection between gut health and skin clarity—a biological hotline called the gut-skin axis. When your gut is inflamed or irritated, your skin often bears the brunt, showing up as breakouts, redness, or itchiness. And so, for many adults dealing with unexplained skin flare-ups, the real trigger could be hidden food intolerances. Food intolerance, especially IgG-mediated intolerance, leads to delayed and chronic inflammation. This can quietly manifest as bloating, fatigue, joint discomfort—and yes, skin issues too. Let’s explore how understanding this connection and getting an  ImuPro blood test  by DBAD can change the way you deal with persistent skin troubles—and why Dr Bakshi’s Advanced Diagnostics (DBAD) is the place to begin ...
