Brain Wellness & prevention
Cognoscopy
What is a Cognoscopy? It's an idea more than an actual word. You have heard of microscopy, arthroscopy, endoscopy, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, etc. These are all words to describe taking a deeper look into a particular body part or area. A "COGNOSCOPY" is exactly that; taking a deeper look into your cognitive health and finding out how your brain is doing. Prevention is EVERYTHING when it comes to brain health! Knowing where you stand now is the first step to improving your own brain health for the future. Anyone can do this "cognoscopy" evaluation, but it is HIGHLY recommended for people with a family history of Alzheimer's and Dementia or if you are experiencing ANY memory issues or feeling that your brain is not as sharp as it used to be. Early detection is absolutely critical. Once areas of the brain die, they are very difficult to recover.
What's included in a Cognoscopy:
- Detailed cognitive assessment sent to you via email that you complete from the comfort of your own home. The Cognitive Assessment is from Creyos (formerly Cambridge Brain Sciences) which is a scientifically validated program based on 30 years of research. The assessment accurately measures core elements of your cognitive function, including memory, attention, reasoning, and verbal abilities.
- Detailed cognitive questionnaire to help identify and categorize subjective changes in your cognition.
- Screenings for anxiety and depression as both of these can exacerbate cognitive decline
- Order for blood work and labs that are specific to brain health and cognitive function. Payment for these labs can be run through your insurance OR with a discounted self-pay option. If desired, an order can also be provided to test for the APOE4 genetic variant which puts someone at high risk for developing dementia/ Alzheimer's Disease.
- Order for a NeuroQuant MRI which looks at all of your brain structures and compares them in a normative data base so you can see where you are compared to other people your age. This study provides objective data which not only tells you where you are now, but provides a baseline for future scans, so you can continue to monitor your brain health for years to come. Payment for the MRI can be run through your insurance or using a self-pay option through SimonMed.
- Detailed list of recommended brain health supplements
- Brain Health Cookbook
