MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

The Brain Health Assessment is the result of years of practical experience and clinical research. The results, by necessity, are of a general nature and should not be viewed as substitute for an evaluation or treatment by a competent medical specialist. Self-report assessments have advantages and limitations. This assessment is intended as an information and education tool for you and your loved ones and is not designed to replace your healthcare provider‚s professional judgment regarding your health. Always discuss any recommendations with your personal physician. This assessment is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. Please work with your healthcare provider to determine potential treatment(s) for your specific medical condition(s).

About The Brain
Health Assessment

A NOTE FROM DR. AMEN

Thank you for taking the time to complete the Brain Health Assessment! You‚ve just taken a BIG step toward optimal wellness and brain health.

One of the unique aspects of our work at BrainMD and Amen Clinics, our nationally recognized outpatient healthcare clinic, is the use of brain SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) imaging. SPECT measures blood flow and activity in the brain and allows us to provide patients with targeted treatment plans. Sadly, due to time, location, or resources, many people are unable to get a brain scan at one of our clinics.

If that describes you, don‚t worry. The test you just completed is the next best thing to getting a scan. My colleagues and I developed the Brain Health Assessment to help predict what your brain might look like if you got a scan.

Based on the world‚s largest database of brain scans related to behavior (200,000 and growing), this quiz helps to determine your Brain Type - we‚ve identified 16 unique Brain Types. Knowing your Brain Type can help you understand more about how you think, act, and interact with others.

Please carefully read through this report, which contains a wealth of information related to your specific Brain Type. In the following pages, you‚ll find recommendations for the best diet and supplements for your Brain Type, as well as many practical tips for improving your brain health.

Over 2 million people have already taken the Brain Health Assessment, and versions of the test are used by thousands of medical and mental health professionals around the world. We‚re excited to partner with you on your journey toward better brain health!

In your services,

Daniel G. Amen, MD

Please note: Since this is based on self-report, if your results seem a bit off, I often suggest that you have someone who knows you well, and whom you trust, answer the questions for you to see if he or she concurs with your results. Sometimes even the healthiest brains have areas that need improvement.

Also, it‚s a good idea to retake the Brain Health Assessment again in 6 months to track your progress.

Your Results Are IN!

OUT OF 16 POSSIBILITIES, YOU ARE BRAIN TYPE 1

WHAT YOUR BRAIN TYPE SAYS ABOUT YOU

The SPECT scans of individuals with Brain Type 1 typically show full, even, symmetrical activity throughout the brain, with the most activity in the cerebellum- one of the brain’s major processing centers. People with Brain Type 1 tend to live longer because of their high level of conscientiousness. They have what we call a “Balanced Brain.”

They do what they say they’re going to do. They show up on time and follow through on tasks they promise to get done. They’re the reliable type of person that you can depend on.

Typically, they don’t like taking big risks, nor are they first adopters to new technology. Although it’s possible, they’re not likely to be entrepreneurs or industry disruptors. Instead, they like rules and ten to play by them.

One Is Not Done!

Although Brain Type 1 is the optimum Brain Type, it’s important to continue to protect and nourish your brain. Like any muscle, if you don’t use it, you lose it!

Your Brain Fit Score is 86.

YOUR BRAIN FIT SCORE EXPLAINED

Your Brain Fit Score ranges from 0-100. We’ve generated your unique Brain Fit Score using your responses to the questions in the Brain Health Assessment.

Your Brain Fit Score is based on seven categories: Brain Health, Sleep, Memory, Executive Function, Inner Peace, Mood, and Flexible Thinking.

Like your Brain Type, your Brain Fit Score is variable and may change over time.

Your Action Plan

A BETTER BRAIN STARTS NOW.

Improving your brain health is the most important thing you can do for your happiness and well-being.

Small changes yield big results, especially when it comes to your brain health! So. While it may work for you to dive right into the following recommendations, for some, making small changes over time yields the best results.

REDUCE
STRESS

High stress levels can increase hormones that kill brain cells. Incorporate hypnosis, meditation, & other stress reducing activities.

PHYSICAL
WORKOUTS

Regular exercise can boost your thingking, memory, focus, and reduce your risk for age-related cognitive decline. Start with walking, lifting, weights & coordination/balance exercises.

SET GOALS &
TRACK PROGRESS

What’s your why? Define what motivates you to want to change and refer to it everyday. One of the best ways to do this is to journal your progress. It will keep you on track and headed in the right direction.

MENTAL
WORKOUTS

Your brain is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. New learning and brain games can help keep your brain healthy.

STRENGTHEN
YOUR MIND

Explore meditation, hypnosis, music audio recordings, and exercises to help you become more resilient to stress and better able to handle life’s curveballs.

BUILD A
COMMUNITY

Spend time with people who inspire, encourage and challenge you. Doing so will create a stronger social support network that will elevate your own personal success.

Brain Healthy Nutrition

Your brain is the most-energy-hungry organ in your body, using 25% of the calories you consume. One of the quickest ways to achieve better brain function is learning the right foods to choose and which foods to lose. Eat right so you can think right!

DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS

Your Type 1 brain needs a diet that is well-balanced between high-quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. This nutritional approach will support balanced blood sugar and mood, help you maintain focus and motivation, and provide the necessary building blocks for optimal brain health.

  • Proteins: wild fish, pasture-raised chicken, turkey & eggs, bison, legumes, etc.
  • Healthy fats: olive oil, MCT oil, avocado oil, ghee, coconut oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds.
  • Carbohydrates: Focus on low-glycemic, high-fiber, unrefined, and organic sources.
  • Vegetables: 6-10 services per day by adding them to meals whenever possible.
  • Whole fruits (avoid sweetened dried fruits & condensed fruit juice): 1-2 servings per day.
  • Gluten-free whole grains (wild/brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, gluten-free whole oats, and teff): 1-2x per day.
  • Water: Drink at least half of your body weight (lbs) in ounces of filtered water each day.
  • Brain-health recipes: Try the delicious recipes & follow the eating & lifestyle tips from Tana Amen (tanaamen.com)

BRAIN SUPPORTING SUPPLEMENTS

The addition of brain-directed supplements will support your physical and mental energy levels, making it easier for you to follow a brain-healthy program every day.

Dr. Amen recommends the following supplements for Brain Type 1:

With Brain & Body Power, you get three foundational products- a high-quality multivitamin, a pure omega-3 fish oil, and a brain-boosting memory formula-packaged into convenient daily packs, making whole-brain, whole-body nourishment a cinch.
