It was at this time that Dr. Brett attended Arizona State University. He received his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, with concentrations in both Exercise Physiology, and Biomechanics.

During his time at Arizona State, he was able to hone his experience as a certified personal trainer, wellness advisor and strength coach at the university.

After graduating from ASU, Dr. Brett moved back to Kansas City to attend Cleveland Chiropractic College. There he received his Doctor of Chiropractic. Following graduation, Dr. Brett returned to Scottsdale, AZ, to perform a preceptorship (similar to a medical residency) with the chiropractor he had worked with as an undergraduate student. The Doctor who owned this clinic had become the Chiropractor to the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Coyotes. This gave Dr. Brett some great experiences working with elite athletes in both baseball and hockey.
Following the preceptorship, Dr. Brett decided to return to Johnson County and go into practice with another doctor in the Olathe area. During this time, Dr. Brett continued his education, completing the academic work necessary to sit for the national board examination given by the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians.
