Brain Health Trainer

A respected brain-health certification was stuck with a developer who was expensive, rigid, and kept them locked out of their own platform. They wanted an honest, collaborative partner — and full control of their LearnDash and MemberPress course. We ported it over, fixed the billing, wired up ActiveCampaign, and have been building on it ever since.

The setup

Brain Health Trainer is an online certification that teaches health and fitness professionals to address brain health through intelligent programming. Run by Ryan Glatt, it’s a real platform — LearnDash courses, a MemberPress membership, a video library, and a community of certified trainers.

The problem wasn’t the product — it was who they were building it with. Their previous developer was expensive and rigid, and worse, kept them locked out of their own platform. Changes were slow and costly, and they had little control of, or insight into, the thing their whole business runs on.

What they wanted was simple: an honest, collaborative partner, full control and visibility into their platform, and the marketing tools to grow it. We came in, ported the platform over, and got them back in the driver’s seat — then kept improving it from there.

The challenge

Get a certification business off an expensive, rigid setup and into a platform they own, understand, and can grow.

  • Take back control. They needed full access to, and insight into, their own LearnDash and MemberPress platform — not a developer holding the keys.
  • Fix the billing. Subscription billing had to work reliably — and support partners reselling the course.
  • Connect the marketing. The platform had to talk to ActiveCampaign so they could nurture, retain, and re-engage students.
  • Find a real partner. Honest, collaborative, and in it for the long haul — not lock-in and surprise invoices.

The solution

Port the platform, fix the billing, wire up the marketing — then keep making it better.

  • A clean platform port. We moved their LearnDash and MemberPress course over and handed them full control and visibility into how it works.
  • Subscription billing, fixed. We straightened out the recurring billing so enrollments and renewals just work.
  • Custom reseller billing. We built custom billing for partners reselling the Brain Health Trainer course — new revenue, cleanly handled.
  • ActiveCampaign, connected. Student data flows into ActiveCampaign, so lifecycle marketing and retention run on real signals.
The results

Theirs again. And still improving.

Full control

they own and understand their platform — no developer lock-in.

Billing fixed

reliable subscriptions, plus custom billing for resellers.

ActiveCampaign

student data wired into their marketing and retention.

Years on

an ongoing partnership, improving the platform year after year.

A student directory

As the program grew, we added a directory of active students — so certified trainers can find and connect with each other, turning a course into a community.

Self-service certificate reissue

We built an automated, self-service certificate system: active users with a profile can regenerate their own certificates when they expire, and legacy users from the old platform can request an updated certificate — no support ticket, no developer in the loop.

A partner, not a vendor

What they wanted was an honest collaborator with full transparency into their own platform — and that’s the relationship we’ve built. The work is steady, the communication is straight, and the platform keeps getting better instead of more locked down.

“I would recommend working with DigiSavvy to anybody. The demystifying of marketing and website development has been a major advantage to my business and mental health. Alex’s personality and humor brings a sense of trust and enjoyment to a typically dry, mistrusting and frustrating type of work.”
