What a Comprehensive Brain Health Assessment Includes

A comprehensive brain health assessment establishes your cognitive baseline and maps your personal risk landscape. Mine includes a two-hour intake covering family history and lifestyle, cognitive testing, APOE genetic analysis, blood-based biomarkers, and, where indicated, volumetric brain MRI, sleep evaluation, and exercise physiology assessment. You leave with a personalized, prioritized prevention plan, not a generic wellness protocol.

What the assessment covers

Two-hour intake

A thorough review of your health history, family history, lifestyle, cognitive concerns, and goals: the context that makes every downstream test interpretable.

Cognitive baseline

Objective cognitive testing that establishes where you are today, so future change can be measured against your own baseline rather than a population average.

Genetics

APOE genetic testing and counseling, interpreted in the context of your whole risk profile rather than delivered as an isolated result.

Blood biomarkers

Blood-based biomarkers such as p-tau217 that can detect Alzheimer's-related change during the long pre-symptomatic window.

Imaging & physiology

Where indicated: volumetric brain MRI, plus sleep evaluation and exercise physiology assessment.

Your prevention plan

A personalized, prioritized roadmap that identifies your two or three highest-leverage factors first, and evolves through regular check-ins.

Why a baseline matters

The pathological changes underlying Alzheimer's begin decades before symptoms. A baseline captured in midlife is what makes early, precise intervention possible, and it is the reference point every future measurement is compared against. You do not need symptoms to benefit; the earlier the baseline, the more leverage you have. The assessment translates directly into concierge, longitudinal care, described on the concierge preventive neurology page.

The assessment, answered

The initial consultation is a comprehensive two-hour session covering your full health history, family history, lifestyle, cognitive baseline, and goals. Subsequent diagnostics are scheduled around that intake.
No. You do not need symptoms to benefit from a brain health assessment. In fact, the earlier you engage, ideally in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, the greater the advantage, because the most impactful intervention windows are in midlife.
You leave with a personalized, prioritized prevention plan, not a generic wellness protocol. It evolves through regular check-ins and longitudinal tracking as your data and the research landscape change.
