Client Testimonial 

Adrenal Questionnaire

Stress is a normal part of life. Every day, we’re faced with stimuli, called stressors, which can elicit the body’s “fight or flight” response, setting off a cascade of physiological reactions and resulting in emotions ranging from mild to intense. But while occasional stress is natural and even healthy, chronic or acute stress can be harmful.

Print out the questionnaire, score it and bring it to you next appointment.

Neurotransmitter Testing

The doctors at West Seattle Natural Medicine are committed to discovering, treating, and educating you about the root cause of your symptoms. We are pleased to introduce a new series of testing offered by NeuroScience, Inc., designed to help us further understand the complex interactions between the body’s nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. If you are coping with stress, insomnia, depression, anxiety, or fatigue, your physician may order a NeuroScience neurotransmitter test and/or hormone test so together you can understand visually and numerically any imbalances which may be occurring in your nervous system. Neurotransmitter and hormone testing is non-invasive and can be performed in the comfort of your own home, with results in the hands of your physician within 7-10 days. These tests are most often reimbursed by major insurance, and treatment plans are developed for you by West Seattle Natural Medicine and the experts at NeuroScience.
