The Robertson Research Institute’s proprietary Brain Chemistry Optimization Program (BCOP) is founded on the understanding that brain chemistry plays a major role in an individual’s moods, behavior, and performance. The BCOP addresses an individual's unique physiology, helping them to become better empowered to address behavioral issues that may inhibit optimal medical & mental health. Designed after 20 years of research and over 14,000 test cases involving highly successful wellness programs built on understanding a person's unique brain chemistry, the BCOP gives careful consideration to areas including individual brain chemistry, genetic and environmental influences, health history and individual preferences in order to design workable, actionable plans to optimize lives.
Following the completion of an online survey, RRI computerized diagnostics count, weigh, correlate and categorize an individual's self-reported history, life style and physiological symptoms as they relate to brain chemistry. This sophisticated evaluation of peripheral signs and symptoms that a person can feel or describe through a questionnaire, results in the most accurate indication of central brain chemical excesses or deficiencies as they relate to what is optimal for the individual available today.
Individual BCOP plan recommendations are based on hundreds of medical research studies which demonstrate that specific tuning of various areas including diet, activity, stress management, and music can change brain chemical levels and improve moods, behavior and performance. The BCOP addresses the symptoms of five main brain chemicals: norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, GABA and acetylcholine.

Understanding the link between biochemistry and behavior helps to optimize personal health and performance and eliminate unwanted behaviors.
Participants most qualified to participate in the BCOP are often those who fit the following categories:
- Individuals who have tried other programs and failed
- Individuals resistant to taking psychotropic medication (assuming mild to moderate conditions)
- Individuals who have experienced success in other programs but were unable to maintain the results over time
- Individuals willing to accept personal responsibility for their health care
- Individuals who are seeking mind/body/soul enhancement
- Individuals who are suffering mildly from mental, physical, and emotional issues
