Comprehensive support
for your cognitive health
Our interdisciplinary team combines state-of-the-art medical diagnostics with proven holistic therapies.
Neurological
Examination
We conduct thorough medical check-ups to evaluate brain and nerve health. Using state-of-the-art methods, we detect early signs of cognitive decline and ensure a precise understanding of your neurological function.
Clinical Neuropsychologist Assessment
Through structured cognitive testing, we assess memory, attention, and executive functions. This provides deep insights into how your brain processes, adapts, and performs in everyday life.
Bloodwork
Comprehensive blood analysis helps us uncover key biomarkers for brain and body health. From inflammation markers to nutrient status, we identify imbalances that may affect cognitive performance.
Functional
Lab Testing
Going beyond standard diagnostics, our functional tests explore gut health, hormones, oxidative stress, and food sensitivities. This root-cause approach helps us understand the deeper drivers of brain health.
Integrative
Approaches
We complement medical and psychological assessments with tailored lifestyle strategies - from nutritional guidance and life coaching to traditional Chinese medicine - to support lasting brain health and overall well-being.
Is your brain sending you
signals that it needs support?
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 11% of adults aged 45 and older report experiencing subjective cognitive decline - one of the earliest signs linked to an increased risk of dementia.
