Brain Aging Is Largely Optional
- Age-related cognitive decline is largely preventable with early, active intervention and monitoring.
- New blood biomarkers let clinicians detect brain changes decades before symptoms appear.
Order The New Brain Biomarker Panel
- Get blood-tested for P‑tau217, GFAP and NfL starting at age 35 and repeat based on age.
- Use getabrainscan.com for mobile phlebotomy and follow-up intervals (every 5 years <60; more often >60).
