I can still remember how alarming it was when my Grandfather, such a wise and thoughtful man, suffered from a very quick onset of Alzheimer’s. I was young – 7, maybe 8 years old? – but I still remember how disconcerting it was to ‘lose’ him. He was right there in front of me, but it wasn’t him anymore.
In some ways, he was one of the lucky ones. His struggle didn’t last long – a year or two at most – and then he passed.
It’s a rare person who hasn’t been personally affected by cognitive decline, dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Most of us have already experienced someone close to use struggle with these issues, and if we haven’t yet, it’s only a matter of time.
What’s most alarming about this disease is not only the feeling of inevitability around it – but also the fact that there seem to be no solutions that work.
Until now.
Today, I’m sharing an interview I did with a very dear friend and colleague, Seth Conger, founder of Mios Health. Seth and his team are pioneering a new model for reversing (yes, reversing) cognitive decline and in so doing, are achieving what has previously been thought to be the undoable.
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for doing and sharing this interview. What powerful work!
