Welcome to the Not Old Better Show. I'm your host Paul Vogel saying. We have a fascinating

guest today. We'll hear from Dr. Nate Bergman and Dr. Bergman is doing some amazing

work in the areas of brain science and Alzheimer's disease.

As many of you know, the subject of cognition, exercise, and cognitive decline are real areas of interest to the not old better show audience and Dr Bergman has an

unmatched expertise.

Cognitive is frightening.

I know there's a lot of forms of cognitive decline, but when you ask people typically what they're most afraid of it's something like Alzheimer's disease or dementia because not only are people losing their mind but oftentimes they're aware of it. That of course is

our guest today Dr. Nate Bergman who is a nationally recognized expert on the brain

cognition and the evolving nature of this area of medicine.

Dr. Bergman's website and podcast are titled

Evolving Past Alzheimer's.

So please join me in welcoming via Skype

to the not old better show, Dr. Nate Bergman.

practice that you're really doing today. Right, I was in my early mid 30s and I was in the

middle of my kind of medical training and working wild hours and having kids.

And we were, I just started having issues recalling words and then it was you know like

anybody about this because you were to lose your license you just worried about first
