Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that our neurons generate to communicate with each other. Depending on the neurotransmitter that a neuron secretes, the message it is going to transmit will be different, being able to excite, modulate or inhibit the response of our nervous system in different ways.
Sensitivity to a specific neurotransmitter would make our neurons respond easily to it and its presence would produce a sensation of well-being. Therefore, being sensitive to a neurotransmitter would cause us to seek out or generate situations in which our brain produces it and obtain satisfaction from it.
Neurotype indicates the tendency of our neurons (or brain) to function in a certain way. In DAGGAS, we use the word Neurotype to refer to the preferred way that each one would have to activate itself or modulate stress, marked by the main neurotransmitters to which it is sensitive.
The DAGGAS system is based on 9 basic neurotypes, always indicated by a descriptive name and two letters, the initials of the main activation neurotransmitter (Dopamine, Adrenals or Glutamate) and the main modulation neurotransmitter (GABA, Acetylcholine or Serotonin).
In order to work on the sensitivity to neurotransmitters, we found ourselves needing a tool to be able to evaluate it, so we created the DAGGAStest.
But DAGGAS is much more than the DAGGAStest and its report. It is a complete system for self-knowledge and personal growth, which can be applied to any area of life (exercise, nutrition, psychology, personal or business coaching,...).
If a person knows their neurotype and sensitivity to neurotransmitters, they can adapt the habits they wish to maintain or change to their neurology. By taking our neurology into account, it is easier to find motivation, empower ourselves and implement the changes or habits we wish to generate in order to improve health and well-being.
