I get asked often, did somebody in your family have it? And the truth is, no. My father in 2019 had a stroke, and I've seen some cognitive decline there, but it's actually more of a systemic issue that I feel like I'm fighting here. And to tell you the truth, there's not a lot of us fighting this big fight, and it's a huge fight. This epidemic is big. And it comes from a patient that I saw.

I mentioned to you that as a neurophysiologist, we do a lot of brain scans. You often see, if you've had an epilepsy, for example, or a seizure, you go and see a neurophysiologist, they'll scan your brain. That was my primary role. Scan brains, I think I've done around 1,000 plus. But there was one woman who stood out to me, and she was, we'll call her Betty, 52 years old.

And she kept coming in with complaints. of memory decline, brain fog. By the way, we'll keep hormones out of this. We'll keep the menopausal conversation out because we're just looking at her brain. And she was given all the recommendations from the CDC, just eat a balanced diet, look at the food pyramid. do your exercise, which was the CDC guidelines.

She was just doing what she thought was good, really not exercising, not properly hydrating, not sleeping well. Over time, she ended up getting the disease. And it was a scary thing because this disease is the only disease that robs you of who you are. When you have end-stage cancer or cardiovascular disease, at least you can understand that who you are as a person, your soul, your brain.

You go to sleep with your brain and you wake up with your brain and it's just yours. No one else is in there. Imagine losing that. And I saw that because Betty looked at me and said, who are you? Who am I? Where am I? And it had this effect on me. And it was scary because she would look at her kids and she'd be like, who are you?

And so that's when I thought to myself, this is larger than just Betty. Because if Betty was living a healthy life and she didn't have the ApoE4 genes, she was living such a healthy, in her head, a healthy life. deemed by the information she was receiving, then this is why it's affecting so many people. And let me tell you, Alzheimer's disease doesn't just affect the person affected.

It affects the family around you. Somebody's going to be a carer. Your money's going to go just to medications and you lose everything. So that's why I'm so passionate about it because I know there is information out there that we have to show that you don't have to get the disease.
