Brain Health
We utilize a combination of assessments to screen for brain health. These modalities focus on identifying underlying factors contributing to cognitive decline and aim to promote overall brain well-being. Here are some common screening methods we may consider for assessing brain health:
Diagnostics:
We use our precise and scientifically validated digital cognitive assessment to evaluate mental performance, memory, and focus.
Neuropsychological tests and cognitive assessments to evaluate memory, attention, executive function, and other cognitive domains.
Hormone Testing:
Assessing hormone levels, including cortisol, DHEA, and sex hormones, to understand their impact on brain health and cognitive function.
Advanced Lipid Panels:
Beyond standard cholesterol tests, these panels may include assessments of specific lipid subclasses associated with brain health, such as omega-3 fatty acids.
Genetic Testing:
Examines genetic factors related to brain health, including the ApoE4 gene associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Nutrient and Micronutrient Testing:
Assessments of vitamin and mineral levels, including B-vitamins, antioxidants, and other micronutrients crucial for brain function.
Brain Imaging:
Techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize brain activity, detect abnormalities, and assess blood flow.
Microbiome Testing:
Examines the gut-brain axis, exploring the connection between the gut microbiome and brain health.
Sleep Monitoring:
Evaluates sleep quality and patterns, as adequate sleep is crucial for cognitive function and overall brain health.
These modalities aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of an individual's brain health, considering various factors that may contribute to cognitive decline or impact overall cognitive function
