The people in the room with you

Prevention isn't a product. It's a relationship. Each clinician at Synapse chose this work for a reason that runs deeper than a résumé. Here are theirs.

Dr. Margaret Osei, behavioral neurologist, smiling in a warm clinical consultation room
Cognitive biomarkers · Neuroinflammation

Dr. Margaret Osei

Behavioral Neurologist

MD, FAAN · Johns Hopkins

Margaret watched her father navigate Alzheimer's for eleven years. She took notes at every appointment — not as a daughter, but as a doctor who couldn't accept that medicine's only answer was to wait and watch. She spent the next decade researching early biomarkers at Hopkins before founding Synapse's neurology practice. "The window to intervene is wider than most people think," she says. "We just have to look through it in time."

Metabolic brain health · Gut-brain axis

Dr. Rahul Nambiar

Integrative Nutritionist

PhD, RDN · UCSF

Rahul started as a cardiologist, then grew frustrated watching patients follow perfect heart protocols while their cognitive health drifted. He retrained in nutritional neuroscience at UCSF, where he studied how omega-3 ratios, gut microbiome diversity, and blood-sugar variability directly shape brain reserve. His intake sessions run ninety minutes — long enough for a full dietary history and short enough that clients leave energized, not depleted.

Cognitive reserve · Lifestyle intervention

Dr. Claire Beaumont

Cognitive Therapist

PsyD · Stanford Memory Clinic

Claire came to prevention work through grief: her younger brother received an early-onset diagnosis at forty-seven. She joined Stanford's memory clinic not to study the disease but to map the terrain around it — the years when intervention still bends the curve. She now designs Synapse's cognitive training protocols and leads every client's first session herself. "A plan without someone to hold you to it is just a pamphlet," she says.

What we look for

The Brain Baseline is five domains of measurement that together form a picture of your cognitive health today — and a map of where you can go.

3 hrs

Full assessment

Cognitive Mapping

A 90-minute battery covering memory encoding, executive function, processing speed, and language fluency — calibrated to your age, education, and baseline.

Metabolic Panel

Fasting glucose, HbA1c, homocysteine, omega-3 index, and inflammatory markers — the numbers your GP doesn't always order.

Sleep Architecture

Two weeks of actigraphy data paired with a clinical interview. Slow-wave sleep is where amyloid clears — we measure it.

Genetic Risk Review

APOE4 status in context — not as a verdict, but as one variable in a larger equation that you can influence.

Cardiovascular Health

Blood pressure variability, resting heart rate, and vascular age — because what's good for the heart is good for the brain.

Every number, in plain language.

Your full report arrives within 5 business days, written for you — not your chart.

What clients say, in their words

Not testimonials polished for marketing. Sentences they actually said, about what they actually experienced.

"I came in convinced I was fine. I left with a seven-page plan and a name for the pattern I'd been quietly noticing for two years. That name gave me back my agency."

"My husband's diagnosis was the alarm I needed. Synapse didn't treat me like a patient. They treated me like someone who had a future worth protecting."

"I'm a physician. I know the literature. But there's a difference between knowing the research and having someone sit across from you and say: here is what we found, here is what it means, here is what we do next."

Every story above started with a single appointment.

What happens after you say yes

No waiting rooms, no referral chains. A clear path from your first appointment to a plan you can actually follow.

01

Your Brain Baseline

Three hours. Five domains. A full picture of where you are today — cognitive, metabolic, cardiovascular, genetic, and sleep. You leave with a summary, not a stack of papers.

02

Your Round-Table Report

Within five days, your three clinicians meet without you to read each other's findings. Then they meet with you to present a single, integrated plan — not three separate opinions.

03

Your 90-Day Protocol

Nutrition targets. Sleep hygiene changes. Cognitive training cadence. Supplement priorities. Referrals if needed. Everything ranked by impact, nothing left vague.

04

Quarterly Check-Ins

Every three months, one clinician reviews your numbers and adjusts the plan. Prevention is not a one-time event — it's a practice, and we practice it with you.

The kettle is on.
The assessment cards are ready.
The only thing missing is you.

Qualifying takes five minutes. Your Brain Baseline takes three hours. A plan that might change the next thirty years takes one decision.
