How to Detect Cognitive Decline 20 Years Early: The Power of Sensory Testing

Did you know that your sensory experience can deteriorate 5 to 20 years before a standard cognitive test shows any signs of a problem? In this master class from A Mind For All Seasons (AMFAS), host Eric Collett sits down with Datar Sahi, CEO and founder of SuperSenses, to discuss the critical connection between your five senses and your long-term brain health. Datar explains how our brains are highly sensory-dependent, meaning that when sensory input like hearing or smell drops, the brain's physical structure can actually shrink over time. The good news? Catching these changes early gives you time to intervene, and improving your sensory health can help reinstate normal brain behavior! Whether you are looking to protect your own cognitive health or care for a loved one, this video provides actionable insights into measuring and improving your sensory baseline. Key Takeaways in This Video: -The Early Warning System: Loss of smell is a well-known early symptom of both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. -A Modifiable Risk: Hearing alone is the single largest modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline. -The Power of Intervention: A 7-year study revealed that individuals who used hearing aids saw a 33% lower rate of dementia diagnosis compared to those who did not. -Comprehensive Testing: The Supersenses kit tests all five modalities (smell, taste, touch, vision, and hearing) in just 30 minutes using a companion app. -Actionable Next Steps: Once you establish a sensory baseline, there are over 50 protocols—including smell training and specialized supplements—to help optimize your senses.
