Cognition is a big one.

And it's certainly something people worry about a lot as they get older.

It's almost becoming the number one thing people worry about as they get older, getting dementia and related conditions.

So โ€“ and there's โ€“ you know, we'd like to see more studies out there, but there's some evidence that it may improve cognition.

So I think we need to sort all that out.

Huberman Lab

You may know that people used to talk about Metformin, this diabetes drug, as potentially the longevity drug.

This may be the way to live a lot longer, healthier.

Huberman Lab
Transform Your Metabolic Health & Longevity by Knowing Your Unique Biology | Dr. Michael Snyder

That's clear, and it's definitely been the case for me.
