for the first time in this large-scale study, the lifestyle factors, the exercise, the sleep, the diet, and the stress in a coached group, intensive coaching, versus a group that just gets some educational material.

And then after that, we'll start looking at different drug candidates on top of lifestyle, assuming that we show and validate that that makes a difference

in these markers like the brain aging clock and the P tau 217, which are really reliable ways to project the arc of a person's Alzheimer's risk.
