In this short podcast excerpt, the speaker introduces the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as a cognitive health screening tool, noting that a perfect score is 30 and that scores around 22‑24 typically indicate mild cognitive impairment or early dementia. The speaker then references recent clinical trial results from Dr. Dale Bredesen’s team, claiming that participants with low baseline scores (as low as 18) were able to improve to a perfect score of 30 after following the Bredesen protocol, highlighting this as a remarkable outcome.

So there is a cognitive assessment tool. It's called a MoCA test. I think it's like the Montreal Cognition Assessment. And if you're in perfect cognitive health, you have a score of 30, but over time, and as cognition decreases, it starts going down. And already I believe that sort of mild dementia memory loss is diagnosed from like the score of 22 or 24/22. And the recent clinical trials that Dr. Bredesen and his team brought out was that even people who had a score of 18, if they followed his protocol, were able to come back up to a score of 30, which is just phenomenal.
