This exclusive add-on, guided by Dr. Dean Sherzai and Dr. Ayesha Sherzai, provides science-backed insights tailored to your unique brain health needs, empowering you to maximize your well-being with confidence.

What You’ll Experience with the Comprehensive Assessment Care Plan:

Pre-Retreat Virtual Consultation (30 Minutes)

Approximately one week before the retreat, you’ll engage in a focused, one-on-one virtual session with either Dr. Dean or Dr. Ayesha Sherzai. This consultation allows us to understand your health history, risk factors, neuroimaging and neuropsychological tests, lab results, lifestyle, and personal goals. Sharing any recent labs or scans will help us fully customize your brain health approach.

Pre-Retreat Visit with a Medical Assistant (30 Minutes)

Prior to your virtual consultation, you’ll meet with a medical assistant for a 30-minute session to gather detailed health information. This session includes a review of your medical history, current medications, lifestyle habits, and any specific concerns you may have, providing essential information to inform your assessment.

In-Depth In-Person Assessment After the Retreat (1 Hour)

Within two days before or after the retreat, you’ll have a personalized follow-up with our clinical team and consultation visit with one of the Drs. Sherzai, which includes a neurological exam and a thorough review of your data. This session may involve additional tests as needed and the creation of a comprehensive brain health plan, including referrals to healthcare providers in your area.

ALSO INCLUDES:

Personalized Health Report and Care Plan

Post-retreat, you’ll receive a detailed report and personalized recommendations, covering:

  • Test results and guidance on lifestyle risk factors.
  • Dietary and supplement recommendations.
  • Exercise or physical therapy strategies.
  • Stress management and mental health tools.
  • Cognitive rehabilitation and actionable brain health practices.

This roadmap empowers you to implement positive changes and maintain progress beyond your time with us.

About Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai

Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai are practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband-and-wife duo who know the value of healthy lifestyle choices.

“We met as young physicians, and in our first conversation, we learned that both of our grandparents had spent their last days on Earth suffering from dementia. It was then that we vowed to do whatever we could to help others avoid this fate by building healthy minds and bodies.

“Our academic journey led us to conduct research, treat patients, and serve as professors at Georgetown University, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, Cedar-Sinai, and Loma Linda University, where we serve as the co-directors of The Brain Health and Alzheimer’s Prevention Program.

“We’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of populations, from those facing significant health challenges to those living in Blue Zones known for their longevity and well-being; the Loma Linda Seventh Day Adventist population which is a Blue Zone community (defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support).”
