NeuroSpot Home Test for Sugar Cravings and Overeating
Sugar cravings and episodes of overeating are rarely about willpower. They are biochemical signals from a brain that is short on the neurotransmitters that regulate mood, satiety and reward. The NeuroSpot home test measures these chemicals directly — so you can address the cause instead of fighting the symptom.
The Brain Chemistry of Food Cravings
Serotonin regulates satiety and mood. When serotonin is low, the brain craves carbohydrates because they temporarily boost serotonin production — explaining the classic afternoon biscuit urge or evening ice-cream binge. Dopamine, the reward neurotransmitter, drives compulsive eating: low baseline dopamine makes the brain seek bigger ”hits” from highly palatable foods. Cortisol — chronically elevated by stress — directly increases appetite and abdominal fat storage.
Together these explain why diets fail when the underlying neurochemistry is not addressed.
What NeuroSpot Reveals About Your Cravings
NeuroSpot measures serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, cortisol (3 samples) and DHEA. NeuroSpot+ adds GABA and glutamate. Together they show whether your cravings are driven by serotonin depletion, dopamine reward-seeking, stress-related cortisol spikes, or a combination — each of which calls for a different intervention.
Symptoms Worth Testing For
Consider NeuroSpot if you experience: strong cravings for sweets, bread or chocolate (especially in the afternoon or evening); episodes of overeating beyond hunger; eating in response to stress or low mood; feeling unsatisfied after meals; weight that creeps up despite reasonable eating habits; or food thoughts that feel intrusive.
Test, Don’t Guess
Rather than trying yet another diet, get the data first. The at-home saliva and urine collection takes one day, results arrive in 2–3 weeks, and you walk away with a clear picture of which neurotransmitters are driving your cravings. Combine the results with personalised nutrition, stress management and, where appropriate, medical care for lasting change.
