Everyone makes assumptions. We do it all day long. We assume that the pretty woman would say &#8220;no&#8221; if we were to ask her out on a date. We assume that we won&#8217;t get a raise if we ask for it. We assume that a new diet won&#8217;t work for us. If we&#8217;re really stuck, we assume that there&#8217;s nothing we can do to change our lives for the better.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>But the truth is we all have faulty assumptions. We have lots of them.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Consider that if everything you believed were true, you&#8217;d have exactly the life you desire. If everything you believed about money were actually true, you&#8217;d have more of it than anyone else. So if your life is lacking in some way, then you believe things that aren&#8217;t true.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>When we hold faulty beliefs, we make faulty assumptions. It&#8217;s a trap, because testing all of our assumptions is a great way to find the truth.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Rather than assuming a course of action is doomed to fail, put the universe to the test and make it say &#8220;no.&#8221; Maybe you&#8217;ll be right and maybe you&#8217;ll be wrong. But this is the only way to know for certain.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b94a66 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-embedpres_elementor\" data-id=\"6b94a66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"embedpres_elementor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"embedpress-elements-wrapper \" id=\"ep-elements-id-6b94a66\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ep-elementor-content-6b94a66\" class=\"ep-elementor-content\n\t\t\t\t  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  ep-content-protection-disabled source-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"6b94a66\" class=\"ep-embed-content-wraper \"  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-4b1e3e0c7dcdc2c3b76840d009d1e051 ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:700px; height:400px; max-height:400px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\"><iframe allowfullscreen title=\"A Surprising Method to Find Out the Truth of Your Assumptions\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z5_Ev6eZm2A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" loading=lazy><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-238697b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"238697b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/2020\/10\/21\/how-to-develop-a-wellness-program-in-your-life\/\">Try these steps to learn the truth<\/a>:<\/strong><\/h4><h3><strong>1. Pick 2 areas of your life that could use improvement.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3><p>Perhaps it&#8217;s your weight and your finances. It might be your love life and your career. The areas in which you&#8217;re struggling are the areas with the most incorrect assumptions.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>2. Find someone that&#8217;s doing better in your areas of interest.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3><p>We all have a co-worker or friend that seems to defy all logic and have a high-level of success. Maybe you have a co-worker that always seems to get the best bonus or the promotion, in spite of appearing average or even low performing.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>3.

There&#8217;s no reason to prove that you can&#8217;t flap your arms and fly. But ask the object of your desires out on a date. Apply for the job you&#8217;re sure you can&#8217;t get.

In certain cases, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6146362\/\">these approaches may even outperform pharmaceutical therapy<\/a>.

A poor diet can lead to decreased energy levels, low moods, and even depression. Conversely, a <a href=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/anti-inflammatory-5-day-plan\/\">healthy diet<\/a> can improve your mood, help you feel more energetic, and boost your overall sense of well-being.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For some people, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drnicollemd.com\/2021\/10\/17\/multivitamin-and-mineral-supplements\/\">vitamin and mineral supplements<\/a> offer important health benefits. Supplements are designed to fight deficiencies found in our diet and complement the food we\u00a0eat regularly. Supplements are basically &#8220;helping hands&#8221; to our daily food.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When stress, anxiety, and depression creep in, it can be difficult to stay motivated and keep your head in the game. Fortunately, dietary supplementation can help. Certain vitamins, minerals, herbs and other natural ingredients have been shown to improve moods and reduce stress levels. For example, B vitamins (such as B6 and B12) are essential for maintaining healthy brain function and producing energy. Omega-3 fatty acids, which can be found in fish oil supplements, are known to reduce stress hormones and promote relaxation. Magnesium is also important for mental health \u2013 it helps regulate stress hormones, reduce anxiety levels and improve quality of sleep.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these supplements, there are also a number of herbal remedies that can help with stress management. Herbs such as lavender, chamomile and passionflower can be helpful for calming the body and reducing stress levels. Valerian root is another popular stress-relieving herb \u2013 it helps to relax the mind and promote restful sleep.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, dietary supplementation can play an important role in improving your mindset and mood. If you\u2019re feeling stressed or down, consider adding some of these supplements to your daily routine! They may just be the key to unlocking your mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So\u2026 if you are unable to eat better and need supplementation, the supplements in my <strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/maxhealth-nutraceuticals\/mindset-mood-support-bundle\/\">Mindset and Mood Support Bundle<\/a><\/u><\/strong> may provide the extra boost you need.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/maxhealth-nutraceuticals\/mindset-mood-support-bundle\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38600 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Mindset and Mood Support Bundle\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood-610x610.png 610w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Mindset-_-Mood.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are my favorite Mood Support Supplements to use!

You can also use pillows or cushions from your furnishings to try out. Cushion, chair, bench, floor \u2013 it\u2019s all good. Eventually, though, if you\u2019re not sitting upright on a chair, you\u2019ll probably do well to buy a dedicated meditation cushion. The cushion will support your sitting posture and help you create an appealing mindfulness corner that will encourage you to practice every day. I recommend this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PRMuwN\">meditation cushion and mat bundle.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Journaling<\/h3>\n<p>If\u00a0you\u00a0struggle with stress, depression, or anxiety, keeping a\u00a0journal can\u00a0be a great idea. Even if you don\u2019t have these conditions, journaling can enhance your life in many ways. Having\u00a0difficulty\u00a0processing\u00a0your\u00a0thoughts\u00a0and\u00a0emotions?\u00a0Journaling can help clear that\u00a0mental\u00a0clutter\u00a0and\u00a0move towards a positive mindset. Research suggests that keeping a\u00a0journal can have\u00a0positive impacts on both mental and\u00a0physical\u00a0health. So, to start you on your journey, I recommend this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3iiwJ5P\">self care journal.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"24-eael-table-of-content\" class=\"eael-heading-content\">Yoga<\/h3>\n<p>Yoga can be a great way to improve your strength and flexibility, manage your stress, improve your heart health, and lose weight! I recommend using a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3zuSNOQ\">grounded yoga mat<\/a> to connect yourself with the earth and reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Food!<\/h3>\n<p>Remember, living a healthy lifestyle including eating a <a href=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/anti-inflammatory-5-day-plan\/\">whole foods plant-based diet<\/a>, regular physical activity, meditation and mindfulness, as well as healthy and supportive relationships are the best ways to support mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Please talk with your doctor about any complementary health approaches, including supplements, you use.

But, what do they actually do?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Neurotransmitters influence and regulate a wide range of processes, from mental performance and emotions to pain response and energy levels. It\u2019s no wonder why many people seek professional help when their neurotransmitter levels become imbalanced. Let\u2019s take a closer look at how neurotransmitters work and what options are available for addressing imbalances.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What Is a Neurotransmitters Test?<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to determine if there\u2019s an imbalance is through testing. \u00a0The <a href=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.wellproz.com\/patient\/product\/32934\"><strong>Vibrant Wellness Neurotransmitter Test<\/strong><\/a> is designed to measure levels of various hormones and chemicals in the brain and peripheral nervous system that play an important role in mood, memory, aging, balance, nervous function, movement, pain perception, eating behavior, sleep\/wake cycles, stress biology, heart rate variability (HRV), etc. The Neurotransmitters panel measures levels of important hormones and chemicals in the brain and peripheral nervous system\u2014including serotonin (mood), dopamine (motivation), epinephrine\/norepinephrine (energy), GABA (relaxation) , glutamate (balance), acetylcholine (memory) , histamine (inflammation).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that this test looks at both active levels as well as metabolites which helps identify underlying causes for imbalances such as poor absorption or metabolism. With this data in hand, you can start making changes that help restore balance.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Imbalances in these chemicals can lead to a variety of symptoms including irritability, anxiety or depression; cognitive issues such as forgetfulness; sleep disturbances; fatigue; digestive problems; low libido; weight gain or loss; etc. A Neurotransmitter test is used to detect underlying imbalances that may be causing these symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.wellproz.com\/patient\/product\/32934\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39989 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Neurotransmitters Test\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test-610x610.png 610w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/drnicollemd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vibrant-Wellness-Neurotransmitters-Test.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What Are the Benefits of a Neurotransmitter Test?<\/h3>\n<p>A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drnicollemd.wellproz.com\/patient\/product\/32934\">neurotransmitter test<\/a><\/strong> can provide valuable insight into your overall health. It can identify any underlying hormonal or chemical imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms. Once these imbalances have been identified, you can work with your healthcare provider to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your symptoms. This could include lifestyle changes such as diet modifications or exercise regimens as well as supplements or medications designed to correct any deficiencies in neurotransmitter production.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>What Can I Do if My Test Comes Back Positive?<\/h3>\n<p>If your test comes back positive for an imbalance in one or more neurotransmitters, there are several things you can do to get back on track. The first step is to identify any underlying lifestyle factors that could be contributing to the imbalance (such as sleep deprivation or poor nutrition). Once you&#8217;ve identified those factors, you can begin making changes &#8211; such as improving your diet or getting more exercise &#8211; to help restore balance. Additionally, certain supplements may also be recommended by your doctor or health care provider in order to promote optimal neurological functioning and support healthy neurotransmitter levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>In A Nutshell&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0Neurotransmitters are essential for a healthy mind and body &#8211; they influence mental performance and emotions while helping regulate key processes like pain response and energy levels. If you&#8217;re feeling off balance lately or experiencing unusual symptoms like insomnia or digestive issues it might be worth looking into whether there&#8217;s an underlying imbalance in your neurotransmitter levels causing your discomfort.
