Mastermind 14: The Brain Code
A New Paradigm to Reverse Neurodegeneration and Restore Cognitive Function by Design
This 2-day advanced course introduces healthcare providers to the principles and applications of Cellular Medicine in the context of the brain, neurodegenerative disease, and neurocognitive restoration. Through 8 immersive modules, attendees will gain a systems-level understanding of the key cellular players (neurons, microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes), mitochondrial networks, redox dynamics, neuroimmune crosstalk, and clinical protocols from enhancing executive function to slowing and or improve cognitive decline.
If you’ve never experienced an SSRP Cellular Medicine Mastermind before, Mastermind 14 is the perfect opportunity to experience firsthand how Dr. Seeds and the SSRP Institute bridge the gap between medical research and novel clinical application.
2 Days of In-Depth Lectures by Dr. Seeds

Dr. William Seeds, MD
For over 40 years, Dr. Seeds has dedicated his career to studying cellular and molecular pathways within the human body. As the Founder and Academic Chairman of the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance (SSRP) Institute, he leads the field in Cellular Medicine and Epigenetics, bringing cutting-edge research to the forefront of patient care.
Before establishing the SSRP Institute, Dr. Seeds served as a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist for nearly three decades. His significant contributions to sports medicine have been recognized at the NFL Hall of Fame. He has consulted for athletes across all major sports leagues, including the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and even the performers on “Dancing with the Stars.” Through his research at the SSRP Institute, Dr. Seeds continues to explore the cellular pathways and mechanisms that positively impact disease and dysfunction in the body as well as optimize physical performance.
