Your brain is a powerhouse, and your success in life depends in no small part on how well you use it. Fortunately, your brain keeps building nerve pathways and learning new concepts throughout your life, a process called neuroplasticity.
Yet your brain also faces many challenges that disrupt nerve pathways and diminish cognitive capacity. These can include chronic stress, demands from work and life, health issues, and more.
This may seem inevitable—a natural part of aging—but it doesn’t have to be. We offer a cognitive boost treatment that can restore and enhance your brain power at any stage of life. It’s called MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy. It’s a drug-free, non-invasive, and long-lasting treatment using highly personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Our experienced team at BrainCare Performance Center in Carlsbad, California, is passionate about optimizing your brain. We have extensive experience helping many adults improve their mental capacity, focus, memory, and mood.

How Do You Know if You Need a Cognitive Boost?
The signs you need a cognitive boost are easy to recognize. They include:

• Forgetfulness • Brain fog
• Mood swings • Anxiety
• Insomnia • No tolerance for stress
• Difficulty concentrating • Physical and/or mental fatigue
• No motivation or drive • Taking longer to complete routine tasks
• Burnout at work or with daily routines • Feeling numb or dull
You can do many things to enhance cognitive abilities, like engaging in puzzles and brain games, learning new skills, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy diet. Practices like meditation, reading, and social interaction can also boost mental sharpness.
While these activities gradually enhance cognitive abilities through lifestyle changes, MeRT offers a powerful new treatment that directly targets brainwave imbalances using personalized magnetic stimulation. By doing this, MeRT promotes faster, more precise improvements in brain function.

This advanced therapy can accelerate cognitive recovery and optimize brain performance in ways traditional methods may not achieve on their own.

How MeRT Can Give You a Cognitive Boost
A brain that isn’t functioning at full capacity reflects problems in nerve activity, communication between nerves, and overall brain performance.
MeRT is an innovative therapy that accurately identifies your under-functioning brain areas and then restores optimal function. Here’s how it works: • We first perform a qualitative electroencephalogram (qEEG). This test records your brainwaves (which reflect electrical activity in nerves) and maps your brain. • We then analyze the information and identify dysfunctional areas. • Once we know the precise brain area affecting your cognitive capacity, we use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to boost electrical activity in the nerves. A series of TMS treatments strengthens the neural connections, optimizing your brain function and improving your symptoms. And the results are often long-lasting.

“I’ve made significant progress in cognitive ability, stress tolerance, and mental clarity. I have been able to handle decisions much better and think more clearly. I have been able to significantly decrease conflict with my family and actually lead much better.”
