Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy: The Science of Brain Optimization | Dr. Mark & Joshua Slepkow

Rhode Island, unfortunately, is not known for innovation, so I’m always excited about different technologies that are available to us, whether it’s to assist with diagnosis or to treat specific conditions. What is new to the area is BrainWaves! BrainWaves is MeRT, which stands for Magnetic EEG/EKG -Guided Resonance Therapy. It is a highly customized use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), based on sophisticated diagnostics. It is a non-invasive, painless, and drug-free option for the treatment of a wide range of conditions. I invited Cofounder, Joshua Slepkow to tell us more about it. (His partner, Mark Turshen MD was not able to join us.) Joshua Slepkow had spent the better part of the last two decades as a partner at a local Rhode Island law firm. Several years ago, Josh’s son was diagnosed with an extremely rare genetic disorder. One of the components includes autism spectrum disorder. Josh and his wife discovered MeRT technology and their son received treatment at a Brain Treatment Center location for 10 weeks. With positive results, Josh decided he could better serve his community by transitioning careers and opening BrainWaves Neuro Restoration Center. Interestingly, Josh graduated from Gettysburg College with a major in Psychology. The founding of BrainWaves NRC allowed him to come full circle, back to his original interest in the mind.

Dr. Mark Turshen completed his medical residency at Brown University and has been practicing full-scope family medicine at his private practice in Rhode Island since 2015. In this practice, he has been able to work intimately with patients of all ages in an attempt to assist them in living their healthiest and most fulfilling lives. Through that lens, Dr. Turshen has seen some of the limitations of current treatment options for various mental health and neurologic conditions. Dr. Turshen has known the Co-Founder Joshua S. Slepkow for two decades. After researching the helpful therapy Joshua’s son underwent, Dr. Turshen felt that he could further treat patients with this newer, cutting-edge technology. BrainWaves NRC is the culmination of this goal. In this interview, he will answer these questions: ✅ What is neuromodulation? ✅ What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation? ✅ How does MeRT differ from TMS? ✅ How do TMS and MeRT work? For listeners, he is offering a generous 50% discount for one EEG. Normally $350.00, discounted price $175.00. Let them know you learned about them through this interview.
