Memorable Quotes:
“It’s never too early to start working on your brain health.”
“The impact we’re having on our brain health starts 30 years before we notice any symptoms.”
“The earlier you catch cognitive decline, the better the results... The later you catch it, we can probably halt the decline, but potentially not much more.”
