The NSRI measures how well your brain can handle surgery, illness, and life — and what you can do about it before you ever reach the operating room.
Sandra Bargeron, PA-C, CAA — Anesthetist & Brain Health Optimization Expert
Surgery, anesthesia, illness, and chronic stress all push your brain toward a threshold most people don't know exists. The NSRI measures how close you are to it.
The NSRI identifies modifiable factors across 5 domains of brain resilience — backed by 75+ peer-reviewed studies. We don't predict who will decline. We identify what can be strengthened.
Sandra Bargeron is a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant who saw what standard preoperative screening misses — and built the first tool to measure it.
