When I was opening the door to the clinic, the nagging worry I’d been having since I’d agreed to this appointment morphed into a quasi-panic attack. I was at the Sebring Clinic in Wimberley, Texas, outside Austin, to get my brain health checked. That was the general premise. What I specifically wanted to know is if I had early signs of dementia.

Who hasn’t, right? Right?!?
A few weeks earlier, I had met Nicole Knicely, a trainer for Seeking Perfect Health, the distributor for a new technology that measures the brain’s quality (speed), voltage (power), reaction time, attention, and speed of processing. It is similar to, but less detailed than, an EEG, which is a very expensive diagnosis tool that can only be used if a doctor determines there’s an urgent medical reason (in other words, covered by insurance).
