What you'll get:

One clear picture of eight brain health areas.

This scorecard looks at eight areas that research connects to long-term brain health. It focuses on the drivers you can actually work on, not symptoms that create worry without direction. This is about where to start, not where you're falling short.

  1. Answer honestly

    Twenty-four short questions across the eight areas. "I don't know" is a welcome and useful answer.

  2. See all eight areas

    One screen, eight areas, a whole-picture view of where things stand today.

  3. Find your starting point

    Your lowest area becomes your clearest first step, plus the questions worth asking your doctor.

The eight areas.

  • Fuel & Blood Sugar

    Eating rhythm and sugar load.

  • Inflammation

    The quiet fire inside.

  • Vitamins & Hormones

    Your brain's raw materials.

  • Your Environment

    Air, mold, and daily exposures.

  • Sleep

    Your brain's nightly deep clean.

  • Movement & Blood Flow

    Strength that keeps blood moving.

  • Stress & Connection

    Your load, and who helps.

  • Learning & Engagement

    How often your brain grows.

Ready when you are. It takes about five minutes.

A family history isn't a plan. This is.

If you've watched a parent decline, you know the fear that comes with every lost word. Here's what most people never hear: the daily drivers of brain health, sleep, blood sugar, movement, connection, are things you can see and change.

The scorecard shows where you stand in each of the eight areas, then gives you one clear place to start. No doom. No overwhelm. Just a plan.

Who's behind this.

I'm D. Michael Brooks. I'm a board certified health coach, I was a chef for 20 years, and I've spent the last five years doing this work alongside my own mother.

I work with women who have a family history of memory loss and want to do something with that knowledge, early and calmly, instead of carrying it around as worry.

The scorecard is where I'd start if I were you. Five minutes, eight areas, and one clear place to begin.

Hear it from me first.

Ninety seconds on who I am, why I built this scorecard, and exactly what you'll walk away with.

Before you start.

Is this a medical test?Is this a medical test?

No. I'm a coach, not a doctor, and nothing in the scorecard is a diagnosis or a risk score. It looks at eight areas of daily life that research connects to long-term brain health, and it shows you where to start. Anything medical belongs in a conversation with your doctor, which is why your results include the questions worth asking there.

How long does it take?How long does it take?

About five minutes. Twenty-four short questions about how you live. No memory tests, no medical records, nothing to prepare.

What if I don't know an answer?What if I don't know an answer?

Choose "I don't know." It's a welcome and useful answer, and it often points to the first thing worth finding out.

What will I see at the end?What will I see at the end?

All eight areas on one screen, your strongest area, the one that needs attention first, and the exact questions worth asking at your next doctor's visit. You'll also get a copy by email so you can come back to it.

Is it free, and what happens with my answers?Is it free, and what happens with my answers?

Yes, it's free. Your answers are used to build your results, and your results stay private.

Do I need a family history to take it?Do I need a family history to take it?

No. I built it with family history in mind, because that's usually where the worry starts, but the eight areas matter for anyone who wants to look after their brain.

What happens after?What happens after?

You'll see all eight areas right away, your strongest one and the one that needs attention first. I'll also email you a copy, along with a printable sheet of questions worth asking your doctor. Every email comes from me, so if you want to talk something through, just hit reply.
