How to Keep Your Brain Young
Healthy Longevity

And Alzheimer’s Disease International reports nearly 80% of the public is worried about the disease. Are you? Brain fog, memory loss, and dementia are among the seven common patterns of aging I write about in my new book, Invincible: Defy Your...

Eric Klein, MD: The Promise of Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening
Healthy Longevity
Would you want to know if cancer is in your health future? In many cases, detecting cancers early before they metastasize and when they are more easily treated is the key to survival and return to good health. Unfortunately, many aggressive cancers are identified in the later stages of progression, making treatment difficult and sometimes ineffective. Today, however, biomedical companies are racing to develop cancer screening technologies that may ultimately change the trajectory of cancer mortality. Leading that effort is GRAIL with its first-to-market Galleri multi-cancer early detection...
