- The first appointment will consist of a medical history review and completion of some tasks that are similar to games and puzzles. A small amount of blood and a hair sample will be taken during the second visit, followed by an introduction to the rest of the treatment during the third visit.
- After that, participants will be randomized to one of our intervention groups, where they will complete 4 weeks of online trainings with a therapist moderator.
- We will follow up with the participant after 6 and 12 months of completing the intervention.
