And that's what's so exciting.

Well, you're a good example of someone who's healthy and sharp, but has high levels of tau.

And this happens a lot.

And fortunately, a lot of people are getting these tests even though they have no symptoms.

And I really discourage that because the problem becomes the concern that I may be getting Alzheimer's disease and I'm just in early stages.

Many studies have shown that people who have high tau levels will eventually develop Alzheimer's disease 20, 30 years later.

And so the catch is that tau levels can be modified.

Just because you have high tau levels doesn't mean that this is the end of the world and that you're doomed to get dementia later in life.

And tau level can also go high for other reasons, such as exposure to COVID.

And in fact, it may be other viruses that can increase tau level as well, such as influenza or other infections.

There are many people who believe that one of the many components of the super problems are infections.

There's a whole group of neuroscientists who really focus on infectious etiology for cognitive decline with aging.

So my recommendation is if you have high tau levels and normal everything else, you may want to check it again in a year to see where it stands.

And if it's lower, then it's great.

But if it's higher, then...

you may want to consider to increase your fitness.

You look very fit to me.

You look like a very strong.

I am.

Yes.
