                     "Hello I’m Mark and I’m going to first publicly tell my story about brain fog, which started occurring about 12 months ago and I was at an organized research retreat on Orcas Island with my friends, mainly research colleagues from Europe. But amidst this relaxing, serene beauty, big problems were revealed the next day.

But amidst this relaxing, serene beauty, big problems were revealed the next day.  

So as we began working over some of our research topics and writing a resubmission for an NIH grant became difficult for me to recall my details, and for my main research topics. It was difficult to type up summaries in my discussion, actually I had to hide I was doing so poorly and a feeling of being in the fog and I couldn’t quite recall items at all.

Just before this research retreat I decided to have a general medical and physical and cardiology reevaluation. I visited my primary care MD and visited my cardiologist and they told me that, Mark all your values are normal and you’re very fit and you’re healthy. You’re a triathlete. So they knew I was a competitive triathlete, and really kind of in some ways you know it bothers me that masks that and I have some underlying disease.

So what I decided to do then is it was pretty clear I didn’t have any obvious disease, but I decided on my own then start tracking some blood biomarkers. So I investigated it actually from a QS meeting earlier and then from the website I found out about a company that was called Segterra which has Inside Tracker. And Inside Tracker then has 20 to 30 blood biomarkers that you have taken at a baseline, and then the idea is you can optimize those biomarkers and then track and have your blood taken again.
