Neurotransmitters are produced thanks to the synthesis of different compounds that can be found in the food. A balanced diet providing high amounts of precursors, cofactors and modulators in the metabolism of specific neurotransmitters has been proven to effectively increase their activity. Therefore, eating habits are extremely important in terms of the condition of the nervous system as well as emotional balance.

Personalized Diet Plan is a complementary part of therapeutic protocol prepared during a Neurophysiological Consultation.

We create a Personalized Diet Plan in three steps:

1. Behavioral test

The test is an intuitive tool that allows to quickly and effectively gather essential data regarding a client’s current psychological and emotional state as well as long-term patterns. There are sets of questions that refer to everyday activities, situations and emotions related to them. The client chooses the answers that describe the client’s mental state most accurately. 

Completing the test takes about 15 minutes. The answers are correlated with the activity of specific neurotransmitters (serotonin, GABA, dopamine and acetylcholine). The results are then summarized and presented in the form of a chart emphasizing the strongest and weakest aspects of your neurotransmitter balance. The test is available online.

Proceed to the test

2. Interpretation of the results

In the next step the results of the test are thoroughly analyzed by the experts from our Institute. The more data we collect in the first phase of the test, the more precise results we obtain during the interpretation stage. That is why we will ask the client for additional information regarding health state and lifestyle.

The information about your eating habits is an important part of behavioral analysis. It helps to adjust the diet plan to meet your personal needs. The questionnaire consists of multiple questions regarding your lifestyle, including: dietary habits, typical day cycle, physical activity, food intolerances and general health condition. Before filling out the questionnaire, it is advised to prepare an eating diary that will describe types of food eaten in the last few days. It is a useful tool that can help you to gather essential information needed to correctly complete the questionnaire. Understanding your eating habits will help us to determine probable causes of your neurophysiological imbalances and adjust the whole diet plan in order to optimize the functioning of your nervous system.

The results of the behavioral test along with the eating habits questionnaire should be sent to Swiss Herbal Neuroregulation Institute via email institute@swissherbal.eu.

3. Your own dietary plan

Based on the results of the behavioral test and the eating habits questionnaire our nutrition experts will prepare a personalized diet plan that will help to optimize the client’s brain functioning. It includes a 4-week meal plan considering food intolerances, liked and disliked products, the level of cooking mastery, lifestyle and the planned amount of time that the client is willing to spend on meal preparation. All the recommendations are designed to easily fit with the client’s everyday life and needs.

The neuroregulation diet is based on essential nutrients (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) that, provided in certain proportions, will stimulate the synthesis and release of specific neuromediators. The important aspect of the whole eating plan is also delivering a high number of precursors (e.g., amino acids), cofactors (vitamins) and modulators (minerals) that take part in neurotransmitter synthesis. The proportions are determined individually on the basis of neurophysiological analysis that describes the client’s predispositions and possible deficiencies.
