The Arrival of A Revolutionary Brain Test with Elli Kaplan

AGEIST

This week, we welcome Elli Kaplan, co-founder of Neurotrack onto the show. Her company is dedicated to the detection and management of cognitive health. Elli and I chat all about the difference between cognition and IQ exams, highlighting the importance of tests like hers in identifying temporary or long-term cognitive changes ranging from overmedication to age-related mental decline. Bonus: we kick the episode off with AGEIST’s infamous Tinder origin story.

Key Moments

“This is not an IQ test, this is a cognitive function test and everybody should want to understand how their brain is functioning and if there are issues that you could then fix–and that may be. As you point out, it may be that someone is on too many medications that are conflicting with each other. It may also be that they are eating fried food seven days a week, are not sleeping, and never exercise.”

“You know, historically we haven't had good drugs for, or even good supplements, from a treatment perspective, for cognitive issues. I think that is also starting to change, at least on the lifestyle side. We know that there's a tremendous number of things that you can do to help your brain function.”
