Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, co-founder of HealthspanMD, is a nationally recognized preventive cardiologist and longevity expert with nearly 30 years of experience, including two decades at the Mayo Clinic. Alongside co-founder Lisa M Hurst, MD, a board-certified internal medicine physician with 25 years of Mayo Clinic experience, they built HealthspanMD to move beyond reactive care and focus on prevention, early detection, and long-term vitality.
Frustrated by a system that waits for illness rather than preventing it, the Hursts developed a comprehensive, proactive model integrating advanced diagnostics, cognitive and metabolic health, and continuous patient engagement. Their approach has led to remarkable outcomes — including no plaque rupture heart attacks in Dr. Hurst's practice since 2007.
BrainCheck Assess gave HealthspanMD what their model demands: standardized, objective cognitive data that benchmarks patients over time. Rather than relying on subjective observation, the practice can now identify cognitive risk early and guide more personalized interventions — applying the same rigor to brain health that they bring to cardiovascular and metabolic care.
"We focus on prevention and early detection across every aspect of health, and BrainCheck helps us extend that standard to cognitive care. It's a valuable tool for identifying risk early and guiding more personalized interventions." — Lisa M Hurst, MD
