The Silent Start of Alzheimer’s and the Power of Knowing Early

Alzheimer’s disease begins silently, long before memory loss or confusion sets in. By the time symptoms appear, the disease may have already caused irreversible brain changes. This delay in diagnosis has long been one of the greatest challenges in Alzheimer’s care. But what if we could detect the earliest biological signs—before symptoms arise?

Thanks to recent advances in precision testing, we can now. The LucentAD® Complete blood test is one of the most innovative tools available today for screening Alzheimer’s disease risk. Available at Internal Healing and Wellness MD, this test empowers individuals to take control of their cognitive health through early detection, proactive intervention, and a more personalized approach to care.

LucentAD® Complete Test

What Is the LucentAD® Complete Test?

LucentAD® Complete is a blood-based Alzheimer’s screening test that uses an ultra-sensitive technology known as Simoa® (Single Molecule Array) to measure four key biomarkers linked to early Alzheimer’s disease. It’s designed for asymptomatic individuals, especially those with a family history of dementia or cognitive decline, and works much like advanced cancer screenings.

This non-invasive test requires just one blood draw and delivers results within 10 business days. The goal? To detect brain changes years before symptoms begin, when interventions can still be most effective.

What Does LucentAD® Complete Measure?

Unlike traditional cognitive assessments that rely on symptoms and memory tests, LucentAD® Complete looks directly at biological changes in the brain, detecting subtle shifts in protein levels that can signal Alzheimer’s risk.

Here are the four biomarkers it measures:

  • p-Tau 217: A highly specific marker of early Alzheimer related changes, particularly tau tangles..
  • AB42/40 Ratio: This ratio reflects amyloid beta buildup, directly linked to the presence of plaques in the brain.
  • NfL (Neurofilament Light): Indicates general neurodegeneration and damage to nerve cells.
  • GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein): A marker of astrocyte activity—early responders to amyloid buildup and inflammation.

By analyzing these markers together, the LucentAD® Complete test delivers a comprehensive and reliable Alzheimer’s risk profile.

How the Test Works

Getting tested is simple, fast, and stress-free:

  1. Order the Test: Ask your doctor at Internal Healing and Wellness MD to request the LucentAD® Complete panel.
  2. Blood Sample Collection: A quick, non-invasive blood draw is performed in-office or at a partner lab.
  3. Simoa® Analysis: The sample is analyzed using Simoa® technology, which can detect even trace levels of Alzheimer’s biomarkers.
  4. Results in 10 Days: You’ll receive a physician-reviewed report within 10 business days, outlining your risk profile and next steps.

Why Early Detection Matters

Catching Alzheimer’s early is key to better outcomes. Research shows that interventions are most effective in the pre-symptomatic stages, before cognitive function starts to decline. Early detection allows:

  • More Window for Intervention
    When Alzheimer’s is caught early—even before symptoms—nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and cognitive strategies can delay progression. That means more life milestones preserved.
  • Smarter Decision-Making
    Early data gives you time to financially, emotionally, and medically plan without being forced into reactive choices.
  • Access to Future Therapies
    As Alzheimer’s research evolves, early biomarkers may qualify you sooner for clinical trials or FDA-approved early-stage treatments.
  • Family-Centered Empowerment
    Early awareness allows families to create supportive living environments and plan care confidently.

This isn’t about fear. It’s about clarity, preparation, and empowerment.

Who Is This Test For?

The LucentAD® Complete test is especially valuable for:

  • High-performing professionals in their 40s–60s are concerned about brain health
  • Individuals with a family history of Alzheimer’s, dementia, or cognitive decline
  • Patients experiencing mild memory lapses, anxiety about aging, or unexplained brain fog
  • Those who believe in proactive health and want to make informed decisions early

If you’re someone who’s watched a parent or grandparent battle Alzheimer’s and thought, “What if that’s me someday?”, this test offers a new level of peace of mind.

Functional Medicine and Cognitive Risk

At Internal Healing and Wellness MD, we don’t stop at diagnosis. If your test results suggest elevated risk, we integrate your data into a functional medicine protocol tailored specifically for cognitive longevity. These may include:

  • Targeted Nutrition & Supplementation
    Tailored dietary interventions and neuro-supportive supplements based on your biomarker profile.
  • Hormonal & Metabolic Balance
    Addressing insulin resistance, thyroid health, oxidative stress, and other contributors to cognitive decline.
  • Sleep, Stress, and Lifestyle Optimization
    Everything from sleep hygiene to breathwork and environmental detox can be personalized.
  • Brain Resilience Exercises
    Cognitive training strategies to strengthen neural pathways and mental agility.
  • Holistic Integration
    Immunology, microbiome, cardiovascular health, and gut-brain connections all fold into a comprehensive prevention plan.

It’s not about treating disease after it appears—it’s about intervening before it begins.

Beyond the Clinic: What It Means for the Future

  • Empowered Self-Awareness
    You don’t wait for memory to falter—data helps you act before symptoms escalate.
  • Reduced Healthcare Costs
    Preemptive strategies delay advanced-stage interventions—saving emotional and financial tolls.
  • Support for Research
    Early diagnostic biomarkers like these fast-track Alzheimer’s research and therapeutic discovery.

Prevention Starts with Precision

Alzheimer’s doesn’t wait—and neither should you. With the LucentAD® Complete test, we now have a powerful way to uncover cognitive risks early and take meaningful steps toward prevention. Whether you’re facing a family history or simply want to understand your long-term brain health, this test gives you the insight to act.

At Internal Healing and Wellness MD, our approach is rooted in early action, personalized care, and long-term wellness.
