Transcranial magnetic stimulation, supervised by board-certified psychiatry.
Targeted neuromodulation for cognition, mood resilience, and focal cortical optimization. Thousand Oaks clinic — serving Calabasas, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Moorpark, and Camarillo.
What TMS is — and what it actually changes.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses focused magnetic pulses to depolarize cortical neurons in a precise target region — most commonly the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The pulse pattern (frequency, intensity, train length) determines whether the protocol upregulates or downregulates that circuit.
TMS is FDA-cleared for major depression, OCD, and several adjacent indications. In a longevity-medicine context, it's also one of the most direct ways to target the prefrontal networks responsible for executive function, attention, and emotional regulation — the circuits that age fastest and matter most.
Unlike systemic interventions, TMS is focal. The magnetic field affects only the targeted cortical region, which is why coil placement and pulse parameters must be physician-designed.
Who benefits — and who shouldn't.
TMS at BioHaus is appropriate for two member profiles: those with diagnosed mood or cognitive concerns who want a non-pharmaceutical option, and high-performers who want to optimize prefrontal function as part of an integrated longevity protocol.
Contraindications include certain implanted metal/devices, history of seizures (with specific exceptions), and a few medication interactions. All of this is screened during your physician intake — TMS is a clinical procedure, not a wellness add-on.
How TMS runs at BioHaus.
Every TMS protocol at BioHaus is supervised by Dr. Khoury, board-certified in psychiatry. That oversight is the clinical standard most TMS providers in the corridor can't meet — and it's the reason we built TMS into the practice the way we did.
Protocols typically run as a course of 20–36 sessions, delivered 5x weekly, each session 20–40 minutes depending on the pulse pattern. Coil placement is determined from your qEEG when available, so the protocol targets your circuit, not a generic landmark.
Outcomes are tracked through CNS Vital Signs (cognitive battery), validated mood inventories where indicated, and qEEG re-mapping at protocol completion.
What's included with every TMS protocol.
Questions, answered.
How is BioHaus TMS different from a standalone TMS clinic?+
Two things. First: every TMS protocol here runs alongside your qEEG, biomarker work, and broader longevity program — it's integrated, not isolated. Second: Dr. Khoury's board-certified psychiatric supervision is the clinical standard required for TMS to be done safely and effectively, and it's not present at every TMS provider.
Is TMS painful?+
No. Most members describe it as a tapping sensation on the scalp during the pulse train. Some report scalp tenderness in the first few sessions that resolves quickly. There's no sedation, no recovery time — you drive yourself home.
Does insurance cover TMS?+
Insurance covers TMS for FDA-cleared indications when prior-authorization criteria are met (typically major depression with documented medication trials). Cognitive and longevity-context TMS protocols are private-pay and included in our Elite and NeuroOptimize tiers.
How long until I notice changes?+
Mood-protocol responders typically notice changes in weeks 2–4 of a course. Cognitive and executive-function effects are usually clearest at the qEEG re-baseline at protocol completion. We don't promise outcomes — we promise a measurement-tracked protocol so you can see what changed.
