I did an MRI scan on my brain đł
Thanks to Helsa, I learned a couple of things about whatâs going on inside my head.
First, there's actually a brain there - always a good sign! đ§
Second, my BrainAGE is younger than my chronological age! As much as 5 years younger, in fact.
Third, my hippocampus and cerebral white matter are amazing, top 10% in my age group.
A large hippocampus = enhanced memory and good cognitive function.
But my cerebral gray matter could be better.
My takeways:
A lifestyle of mainly Mediterranean diet and daily exercise pays off, also for the brain!
Move more! Higher energy expenditure is good for the gray matter.
And most importantly: information is key.
With the right data and knowledge youâre in a better position to improve. I got a 25-page report with 24 biomarkers and plenty of recommendations.
Thanks Douglas Stark for building a great solution!
Very excited about where the space of brain-health goes next.
