~Dr. Braverman's Brain Deficiency Quiz~

SCORING:

  • Add up the True Answers in the 4 catagories
  • Then circle the highest number of the 4 catagories this is your most deficient nature and is the one which is most likely to lead to illness. Often, you burn out your edge just by being yourself. For example, if you are GABA deficient it is likely that you are a dopamine nature, these types often push themselves too hard at work and burn out their edge.

Any category with between 3 and 5 true statements is considered a minor deficiency.

Any category with between 6 and 8 true statements is considered a moderate deficiency.

The Catagory with the highest score is your Deficient Nature. Purchase the formula which is for that lobe...either Dopamine, Acetylcholine, GABA or Serotonin.

Your age in years differs from the physiological age, and the age of your brain. This is really a way of saying that what is really important for overall health is first and foremost brain health and fitness.

Dr. Braverman’s emphasis on the health of the brain was a wake up call for me. We don’t normally think about it, but your body cannot function optimally if the master controller, your brain is not functioning properly.

The cornerstone of brain health is the balance of your neurotransmitters, which are the chemicals that allow your brain’s processing operations to be carried out. A neurotransmitter is a chemical that is involved in processing signals between neurons and other cells.

The four primary neurotransmitters involved in maintaining a balanced brain are:

  • Dopamine
  • Acetylcholine
  • GABA – Gamma-aminobutyric acid
  • Serotonin

 Each of your neurotransmitters is essential to proper brain health and when any one of them is deficient or out of balance with the others, problems result which can ultimately affect all body systems, leading to very serious, and even life threatening health conditions.

Your brain age is dependant on the right neurotransmitter balance, and when problems in this area are identified soon enough, it becomes possible in many cases for you to treat these imbalances with diet and over the counter supplements rather than drugs.
