Brain Health & Cognitive Performance

Advanced prevention for a sharper, healthier brain.

Your brain health is influenced by far more than genetics or age. At RHS, we take a proactive, integrative approach to brain health — looking for the root contributors that may affect memory, focus, processing speed, mood, energy, and long-term brain resilience.

We partner with patients who want to be intentional about protecting and optimizing brain health.

Rather than waiting for cognitive decline to appear, we use advanced testing, clinical insight, and personalized lifestyle strategies to help patients better understand and support their brain health now.

What We Look At

There are many contributors to cognitive decline. We evaluate the many root causes that affect cognitive health including:

Inflammation
Blood sugar and insulin health
Nutrient status
Hormone balance
Sleep quality
Cardiovascular health – the pipes that supply oxygen to the brain
Toxin exposure
Gut health
Genetic and family risk factors

Our Approach

At RHS, we take a proactive and personalized approach to brain health – focusing on the lifestyle, metabolic, vascular, inflammatory, and environmental factors that may influence long-term cognitive wellness.

We integrate the Apollo Health cognitive protection framework with elements of our Heart Attack and Stroke prevention program to create a comprehensive approach that will maximize your cognitive functioning. Elements of this prevention-focused framework help inform our broader approach to cognitive wellness and brain health optimization.

Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model, we focus on identifying modifiable risk factors and creating a practical precision strategy designed to support your long-term brain resilience and overall wellness.

Advanced testing may include:

Testing for genetic predisposition for cognitive decline
Cognitive screening
Testing for early Tau protein deposition
Inflammation markers
Cardiometabolic testing
Sleep assessment
Nutrient hormone evaluation
Advanced cholesterol and glucose testing
Toxin testing (examples: Leaky gut, oral bacteria, mold, Lyme, heavy metals, environmental toxins)
Additional testing based on individual needs

Your brain is worth protecting

Your brain is your most important investment

The choices you make today can influence how you think, function, and live in the years ahead.

At RHS, we help patients understand their unique risk factors and create a practical, personalized plan to support cognitive clarity, resilience, and long-term brain health.

Beyond Testing: Coaching for Lasting Change

Our health coaching program is designed to help patients implement the sometimes-complicated lifestyle and wellness strategies that support cognitive performance and brain resilience.

Areas of focus include:

Nutrition and metabolic health
Sleep optimization
Exercise and movement
Stress management tools
Habit and behavior change
Reducing inflammation

This program is rooted in a lifestyle-based approach that helps translate personalized recommendations into meaningful, sustainable action.

"I was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment in December 2022, and spent two years working the Apollo Health Recovering Cognitive Decline (ReCODE) protocol without finding the root cause. At our very first appointment following a biotoxins test, Dr. Whitney identified the problem: mold toxicity from our apartment was driving my cognitive decline, a ReCODE Type 3 Toxicity pattern. He designed a comprehensive detoxification program, and within fifteen months the two most impactful biotoxins were substantially removed. My CNS Vital Signs Cognitive Index reached 81, matching my best-ever score; last seen nearly three years earlier. And best of all, I’m feeling much better as well. Thank you, Dr. Whitney!"
