Scan my Brain!

Hello! My name is Joy Foster and for my 44th Birthday/Christmas present, I'd love nothing more than to get my brain scanned at the Amen Clinics in America.

Back in 2019, I was in a taxi with a woman who diagnosed people with ADD/ADHD for a living. After just a few minutes of sitting next to me, she asked me if I had ever been diagnosed. Nearly 4 years later, I've started to acknowledge, and take steps to optimise the functionality of my ADD/ADHD brain.

Over the past few years, more and more adult women have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. The incidence of ADD/ADHD diagnoses in women DOUBLED from 2020 to 2022.

From the time I can remember, a part of me has struggled with time and date management, organisation, and remembering to do simple yet important things (like eat lunch). I also struggled to stay focused when others were speaking to me. While I got good grades in school, I didn't do well on tests.

There has also been a link between menopause and Alzheimers. Did you know that almost 2/3rds of Alzheimer patients are women? More importantly, did you know you can detect Alzhimers with a brain scan 30-40 years before it impacts you?

My interest in the brain and brain health started when I became a master neurocoach (certified by Dr. Shannon Irvine in 2020-21). I then became one of the Brave Thinking Institute's top 10 Transformational Coaches (2022) and in 2023, I became a Certified Brain Health Trainer by Dr. Amen (Amen Clinics). In September 2024, I'll start my Masters in Neuroscience at Kings College (London).

I'd love to see what my brain looks like and get an official diagnosis and an official treatment plan. At the moment, I've taken 2 online tests and started taking natural supplements to help me with my symptoms. You can take the tests to find out about your brain here:

and

My brain type is 2 and my Add type is 1.

The supplements I take were recommended based on the tests I took and they include:

Brain & Body Power (BrainMD)

Focus & Energy (BrainMD)

I'd love it if you'd come on this brain-healing journey with me. Anyone who donates will receive a private podcast series about brain health as well as get a private reveal of my brain scan results. A long-term dream of mine is to bring this kind of scanning and diagnosis to the UK, but I like to lead by example - so getting my brain scanned is the first step to showing others is it safe.

The £2000 raised will cover my brain scan and the trip to America to get it done. I'm super grateful to any amount you can contribute. It would be the best Birthday and Christmas present I could ever ask for!
