Steven CabralHOST
So here's what they did.
Steven CabralHOST
They have a simple blood test that predicts cognitive decline, and it's especially associated with early stage Alzheimer's, right? So that's why we want to find it early stage.
Steven CabralHOST
That's the goal.
Steven CabralHOST
Just like if we can find s- cancer at stage one, well, we've got a way better chance, 90 plus percent better chance of treating it.
Steven CabralHOST
So over a three-year period, the patients in the highest third of the triglyceride glucose index...
Steven CabralHOST
What is that? It is your fasting blood glucose, so basically upon waking, what's your blood sugar, and your triglyceride levels.
Steven CabralHOST
The people w- that were at the highest, so the highest blood sugar, highest triglycerides, were four times, 400% more likely to have rapid cognitive decline than those with lower triglyceride indexes.
Steven CabralHOST
Triglyceride glucose indexes, I will say.

Vivienne MingGUEST
So what I'm trying to do is... get a little beyond the science here.
Vivienne MingGUEST
What I am concerned about, what I'd be concerned about with my own kids in terms of their level of cognitive engagement with the world, and one thing that genuinely seems to be prophylactic against long-term cognitive decline across a lot of different research, is cognitive engagement, prolonged cognitive engagement,
Phil StiegHOST
Speaking of cognitive engagement, I was intrigued by your concept you call the nemesis prompt.
Phil StiegHOST
I'm interpreting this to mean starting a dialogue with an AI system as either your opponent or your harshest critic.
Carol ChiangHOST
We live in a mobile-first world, constantly checking emails, scrolling through social media, or browsing the web.
Carol ChiangHOST
While these devices are our lifelines to the outside world, they can present a massive obstacle for individuals living with cognitive decline.
Carol ChiangHOST
The sheer complexity of a modern smartphone often leads to social isolation for older adults and makes it incredibly difficult for caregivers to check in on their loved ones.
Carol ChiangHOST
That's why I'm excited to welcome Robert Felgar from RazMobility to talk about the challenges faced with phone use in clients with dementia and what options exist that can help overcome this communication barrier.
Robert FelgarGUEST
There was no option.
Robert FelgarGUEST
You basically had to use an off-the-shelf device.
Robert FelgarGUEST
You had to use an iPhone, you had to use an Android device, or perhaps if you didn't have the ability to use a smartphone, you used a landline or even a flip phone, but there was nothing specifically for seniors experiencing cognitive decline, and we wanted to fill that void.
Carol ChiangHOST
That's amazing that you went from...
Jack CocchiarellaHOST
There's a lot I want to talk about, but it starts with a diagnosis of Trump.
John GartnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's not just that he has cognitive decline.
John GartnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's a rock rolling downhill.
John GartnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I've said for years, look at Donald Trump today, because that's the best Donald Trump you're ever going to see.
John GartnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The nature of his organic cognitive decline, which I believe is probably frontotemporal dementia, is that it never gets better and it never stays the same.
John GartnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It only gets worse.
John GartnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The rate of deterioration begins to accelerate.
John GartnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And he's not just a patient in a nursing home.
Peter MichalosGUEST
And it's all in there and the death of aging.
Peter MichalosGUEST
And today we're going to talk about a topic that there's a whole chapter dedicated to, and that's Alzheimer's and cognitive decline.
Peter MichalosGUEST
Tell us the name
John CatsimatidisHOST
of the book again.
Peter MichalosGUEST
And when you cook, use extra virgin olive oil.
Peter MichalosGUEST
Do not use seed oil.
Peter MichalosGUEST
Seed oils are associated with visceral fat, more Alzheimer's, more cognitive decline.
Peter MichalosGUEST
Try to eat wild salmon at least once or twice a week.
Meenal AgarwalGUEST
Yes.
Meenal AgarwalGUEST
So you know, we, uh, you know, there's a lot of stats that go around there, but one of my favorite kind of stats is 60% of patients with cognitive decline have some form of vision and/or hearing loss, and that is huge.
Jill CarnahanHOST
Mm-hmm.
Meenal AgarwalGUEST
And I always tell patients that your eyes are connected to your brain, so if you do not have good vision, and you know, with that respect, I wanna say more the laser focus like a 20/20-

Made-up game.

Chris MowreyHOST
And that's the thing, this is the culture that's being built in American politics, specifically on the right where the Republican Party has no values and no morals as it stands, as the movement stands.
Chris MowreyHOST
elected officials all gathering behind this man who, I want to be clear, when we talk about cognitive decline, we talk about holding on to power for as long as physically possible.
Chris MowreyHOST
This was Donald Trump on stage an hour and a half ago.
Chris MowreyHOST
This absolutely enraged me, but also shows you the level of cognitive decline, where we are at with Donald Trump.
Chris MowreyHOST
He's always been a liar, but his stories continue to get more and more outrageous.
Chris MowreyHOST
This was him today.
speaker_0HOST
Very.

Meanwhile, right-leaning media outlets were much more focused on the individual cognitive decline, the long-term effects of using the AI, the loss of personal grit, and the atrophy of critical thinking skills.
speaker_1HOST
It's a fascinating look at how society is grappling with these unearned shortcuts in real time, with different political ecosystems focusing on entirely different facets of the exact same problem.
speaker_0HOST
The same exact data, different conclusions.
speaker_1HOST
Right.
speaker_1HOST
But regardless of which angle you look at it from, sociological behavioral changes or individual cognitive decline, the underlying biological mechanism is exactly the same.
speaker_0HOST
The cosmic balance is at play.
speaker_1HOST
When you accept cheap, easy access to something that makes your life effortlessly easy, you will eventually pay a heavy biological price.
