In other words, every person is very unique and to see the best results in a short period of time, you want to be very targeted in the interventions that you provide for people.

People 50s, 60s, 70s can memorize a list of a hundred words forward or backwards in that period of time, definitely.

And one person I'll never forget is, it was this heavyset gentleman, he was like 300 pounds, who came to see me.
