And I went to six weeks and I realized six weeks is not enough.
So that's why I made my program 12 weeks.
And then we saw patient after patient who came to me with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment who actually got better.
Not only we slowed their rate of cognitive decline, they actually got better.
Let me give you an example.
You know, this lady came to see me.
She was early 70s, and she was sitting home watching TV all the time.
And her sister said she actually doesn't watch TV.
The TV watches her because she just sits there.
She doesn't talk much.
She doesn't do much.
And the sister wanted me to confirm diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease so that she could get a power attorney, sell her house, and pay for her nursing home.
And I thought, she's too young.
I'm in 70s.
And she had many medical issues.
She had depression that was not fully treated.
She had back pain.
She was taking multiple pain medications, which were sedating.
And she had a sedentary lifestyle.
She was sitting there all the time.
