SPECT Imaging

On a mission.

What started out as a dream of becoming a pro BMX athlete turned into a new purpose driven by a dream to change the way we view the world, our lives, and our 🧠 health.

A brain tumor diagnosis in 2010 started my obsession with how to optimize my brain.

Along the journey, I’ve learned a bunch about diet, mindset, injuries, toxins, meditation, and fitness and their roles on the brain.

A new tool in my arsenal is SPECT imaging, which looks at blood flow and emotional circuitry. SPECT allows us to see the damage occurring in the brain from the former mentioned above.

This allows us to incorporate lifestyle changes to help change, heal, and further protect our brains.

What’s rad is that we have just learned how exogenous ketones help support these areas of the brain along with exercise, meditation and breathing, and diet.

An important step, and some blood markers we should all know are mentioned on picture 5.

Along with lifestyle changes, knowing your blood markers from said blood tests (photo 5) is blood glucose and ketone numbers via @ketocoachx (ketones) and Any quality glucometer for blood glucose. What steps are you taking to improve your brains health?

Ketones Changed My Brain

Josh Perry and Dr. Ryan Lowery get the results from their 3 SPECT scans at Amen Clinics to see if Prüvit exogenous ketones have an impact on their brain.

The results actually shock everyone as Josh & Ryan are the first to ever look at the brain in a ketogenic state under SPECT imaging.

Thanks, Dr. Daniel Amen and Amen Clinics for the SPECT imaging and support.

Josh Perry is a former professional BMX athlete, motivational speaker, and certified holistic health coach who is fighting 4 brain tumors. Josh suffered a head injury in 2010 that led to an MRI, revealing an 8cm long/2cm wide/2 cm deep meningioma brain tumor. After a 6 hour brain surgery, 75 staples, and a16 stitches later, Josh returned to professional level BMX competition.

2 years later 2 tumors grew back and Josh used Gamma Knife Radiotherapy to shrink them. 5 years after that, 2 new tumors popped up, leaving him with 4 today, but after implementing a ketogenic diet, Josh’s 1 and 2 year MRI’s showed no progression of the 4 tumors in his skull.

Josh launched a health coaching business to inspire and help others to improve their brain health so they can transform into the most successful versions of themselves. Josh now travels the world to speak and is a soon to be author.

Helmets Don’t Matter

We’ve always been told that wearing a helmet is important for our brains.

After @davemirra being diagnosed with CTE, I’ve become even more obsessed with 🧠 health and sharing with the BMX community and all of you.

Although I’m an advocate for helmets 100%, they don’t do much in terms of concussions and preventing CTE. They do protect the skull from fractures, tho, which is amazing!

🤓But, when we talk about the brain in regards to concussions, we have to understand the brains development, how the brain actually sits in the skull, and how a concussion occurs.

I’ve seen many of my friends out cold while wearing a helmet.

🧠@scottycranmer was wearing a helmet when his life altering TBI occurred.

🧠I’ve seen @vincebyron out cold several times with a full face helmet on, the last gnarly one resulted in blood seeping out of his nose and ears.

🧠 @davemirra crushed his face through his full face helmet one year at a contest.

🧠I myself have had a few concussions where I had a seizure and my heart stopped, all while wearing a helmet.

Post-SPECT Scan Supplements

Part 2 of my trip to @doc_amen with @ryanplowery for SPECT scans of our brains drops tomorrow at 330pm EST.

The post-SPECT scan supplement line up, until we get the results of all the blood work that was ordered, is pictured here. UPDATED list next week.

Just a quality DHA/EPA Omega supplement can do wonders for anyone’s 🧠 health, let alone someone with past trauma (mental or physical) and/or toxicity (sugar, alcohol, mold, drugs, alcohol, etc.) to their brain.

Mixing that up with @doc_amen @brainmdhealth Brain & Memory Power Boost supplement to promote blood flow in the 🧠 can be very powerful along with a healthy lifestyle of a low-glycemic diet, healthy mental practice, and living a regular active lifestyle.

Check out my vlog part 1 from visiting @doc_amen for a SPECT scan on my IGtv and get ready for part 2 tomorrow sharing all the data and results with a deep dive into the 🧠 and how all the above mention information really plays out on the 🧠 based on imaging rather than opinion.

I’m really proud to join my brother @ryanplowery in becoming the first to look at the brain under SPECT with @justpruvit exogenous ketones in an effort to help all of YOU even further with hard facts and sound evidence that you can see in real time.

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE and stop talking about it. TAKE ACTION and back up your words.

I want to make a difference and I’m investing everything I have emotionally, financially, spiritually, and

physically to see that change manifest in my reality.

Check out my perspective as I fly from NC to Atlanta to see Dr. Daniel Amen at Amen clinics to get a brain scan using SPECT imaging along with Dr. Ryan Lowery.

Follow along to see what a day in the life is like for Josh as he travels from Raleigh, NC to Atlanta, GA.
