Brain Health
Are you or your family members dealing with inflammatory conditions affecting brain
health and function? Conditions such as:
​
-
Increasing memory loss and forgetfulness
-
Brain fog, unclear thinking
-
Dementia
-
Alzheimer’s
-
Recent or past concussions
-
Children with ADD or ADHD
Or maybe your kids are playing high impact sports?
​
The fact is, degenerative brain disease will soon be an epidemic much like heart
disease is now.
Wouldn’t you like to know your own and your families current brain health status
and where it’s heading–and most importantly, take steps to improve brain health
in the future before it’s too late?
​
​
The good news is now you can with BrainSpan
There is now a test available that evaluates current brain health, and can assess relative risk for future inflammatory brain disease/dysfunction. BrainSpan assessment combines blood testing with computer brain performance testing to give you a custom multi-page assessment of your current brain health. Most importantly, it shows you what you can do about it to change your future and lower your risk for inflammatory brain disease.

BrainSpan is the Only Nutritional & Functional Cellular Health Assessment
Structural and Functional Brain Health
​
Dietary, health, genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle factors influence the structural and functional health of your brain over time. The assessment allows you to track the health of your brain, like you track the health of your heart. When your brain works right, your body works right.
​
BrainSpan quantifies the structural and functional brain health at the cellular level. The assessment itself is comprised of two parts, the first being structural brain health and the second being functional brain health.
Structural Brain Health
Structural brain health is determined through a blood test with a simple prick of the finger. The cell membranes in the blood are sampled and analyzed for omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well as trans fats. When the levels of these biomarkers are in balance, they contribute to repairing cells, controlling inflammation, and regulating vital neurotransmitters.
​
If the levels are out of balance, they can cause cellular destruction and adversely affect memory. The BrainSpan assessment equips Dr. Scott with the necessary information to determine the most effective course of treatment for his patients.
Functional Brain Health
Part two of the assessment consists of an easy 15 minute cognitive test that measures the level of functioning in the neural connections. Four basic cognitive functions assessed during this phase of the test include memory capacity, sustained attention, processing speed and cognitive flexibility. How well the brain performs these tests determine how well it is regulating the body’s systems.
​
​
Why Take the BrainSpan Assessment?
The BrainSpan assessment is important in helping Dr. Scott guide his patients to better health and wellness along with the treatment of chronic conditions. By assessing the brain, we are able to map a nutritional course that can help to combat several painful conditions along with reducing the risk of long term, serious health issues.
​
Every one of my patients should know their score and then improve it in as little as 90 days. If you don’t measure and track your brain health, you are taking a chance with your future well-being. If you have kids with attention or working memory issues, the BrainSpan assessment can identify nutrient deficiencies that may be a contributing factor. Additionally, if your child plays any kind of impact sport, the BrainSpan assessment may help significantly improve their resilience and neuro-protection to concussion injury.
​
