NeuroResearch Protocol at Life Medical
Available at Our St. Louis Park Office
Advancing Mental Health And Weight Management Through NeuroResearch
At Life Medical, we offer the NeuroResearch Protocol—a specialized, drug-free approach that targets the brain’s natural chemistry to help treat mood disorders, PTSD, anxiety, depression, helps in weight management and more. This evidence-based method uses carefully developed amino acid and nutritional supplements/medical foods designed to restore balance, improve outcomes, and provide hope for patients, often more effective than conventional treatments.
What Is the NeuroResearch Protocol?
NeuroResearch protocol is one of the best biochemical methods for treating neurotransmitter imbalance disorders. These include mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, ADD, OCD, migraines, fibromyalgia, movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease and Benign Familial Tremor, some gut disorders, obesity and others. For a comparison with non-biochemical approaches like homeopathy and acupuncture, discuss your options with Dr. Mirman. He can explain the differences between these approaches.
How it Works
NeuroResearch supplements contain amino acids such as:
- 5-HTP
- L-tyrosine
- L-Dopa
- Other nutritional components
These ingredients are natural substances found in food—not drugs. They assist the body in achieving proper neurotransmitter balance and alleviating symptoms. The supplements are produced by
CHK Nutrition. Dr. Mirman has used these supplements to help patients with mood disorders, fibromyalgia, obesity, Parkinson's disease and other conditions. Many patients have experienced significant, sometimes dramatic improvements.
Scientific Foundation
For details on the science behind this method:
- See the
bibliography of writings by Dr. Hinz, the inventor of the protocol.
- Read Dr. Mirman’s article,
Nervous System Function, Simplified, which explains the biochemistry of synapses and Dr. Hinz’s protocol in simple language.
- Feel free to contact Dr. Mirman with any questions.
