This is my brain captured in the BrainAGE scan and this is what I learnt:

1/
My BrainAGE is 31.
I’m 33 but the structure of my brain resembles that of a healthy 31 year old man.
BrainAGE is linked to your cognitive function, so  the younger your brain is, the better your brain functions and an older brainAGE predicts cognitive decline.

2/
My hippocampus is in the 67th percentile.
The hippocampus plays a central role in memory formation and spatial orientation. The bigger it is the better, and if it starts to shrink that’s an important biomarker to keep track of.

3/
The cerebral gray matter in my brain is in the 45th percentile.
Gray matter is roughly 50% of the brain, the rest is white matter and fluid.
Higher energy output is associated with larger gray matter. Since learning that, I incorporate a daily walk-and-talk, which has increased my caloric expenditure from 3500 kcal to 4000 kcal daily according to Whoop.
