My intro

[tbonez]

Hi all.

Just turned 69 and I'm still clinging to most of my wits. But when your mind may be slowly dripping down the drain, how do you know? Several times per year, I check to see if I'm fooling myself by doing a SAGE exam (Self Administered Gerocognitive Exam). So far, so good.

I learned my APOE status through 23 and me, and confirmed it through Dash Genomics. I've been self-experimenting with gamma frequency light and sound since 2018 after hearing about the MIT 40 hz light experiments in the Radio Lab podcast. I hope to compare notes on that with other people here.

See you in the forum!

Hi Tom

Try the free Cq test on the Apollo site, you could track your progress through that.

I do one every 6 months or so and I get my clients to retest regularly too. Although they might "feel" better, it's great to be able to put a number on it!

Good luck!

Thanks, but I already have a testing system in place with several years worth of test results on file, so don't want to "start over." -- Tom

Oh, I misunderstood the "...how do you know" comment. Of course, your own test results, if you have lots of data over time, are the best.

How are you finding the gamma frequency light and sound? Have you noticed any difference in your SAGE scores or trend since starting?

Tom, and what are you - 3/4, 4/4, etc.? This will make a difference in how you may want to approach your AD prevention journey.
