Backed by nearly 40 years of research, there is now available a genetic lab test to help people better understand their genetic predisposition toward substance and non substance addictive, compulsive, and impulsive behaviors.

Reward deficiency syndrome (RDS) is a term that connects these addictive, compulsive, and impulsive behavioral disorders. These behaviors have now been associated with genetic variants along with epigenetics, which are the environmental factors. Your genetic component is about 50% half the equation. Environment and Psychological factors make up the other half of the equation.

Once we can identify and evaluate the results of the different genes that were tested, we can recommend Neurotransmitter Replacement Therapy or the specific neuro-nutrient formulation and Amino Acids for you based on your genetics. We can also evaluate “at risk” environments associated with the substance and non-substance addictive behavior and try to avoid them to reduce risk of triggering the addictive behavior.
