Dr. Jon Vezendy, DC, of Vezendy Chiropractic, in Cornelius, North Carolina, is providing a special opportunity to experience a BrainSpan Assessment, a simple, patient- administered blood spot test and 15-minute online cognitive assessment. Normally costing $159, the service can be obtained for $99 through October 31.

Recipients will get science-based results that can identify nutrient and fatty acid deficiencies that may be affecting brain health and function. They report that results can be improved in as few as 90 days.

Research has associated good blood nutritional levels with up to 47 percent lower risk of dementia, improved focus and memory, and up to 65 percent slower cellular aging and faster recovery after concussion.

The Omega-3 Index has been published in 100-plus peer-reviewed journals in collaboration with top institutions. Scores below 4 percent are correlated with higher risk for accelerated brain aging, increased inflammation, reduced attention and poor memory.

“When your brain works right, your body works right,” says Vezendy. “Start tracking your brain health like you track your heart health.”

Location: 21000 Torrence Chapel Rd., Ste. 101, Cornelius. For more information on the assessment, visit MyBrainSpan.com or to secure your assessment kit, call 704-895-2240.
