When Dr. David Mitchell, a neurologist with more than two decades of clinical practice, accepted our invitation for an interview, he warned us right at the start: "What we've discovered goes against almost everything patients hear in the consulting room."
For nearly three years, he and his team have been investigating why certain populations, even in their eighties and nineties, maintain remarkable mental clarity, while adults in their forties and fifties around the rest of the world increasingly report foggy-headedness, trouble concentrating and frequent slip-ups.
The answer, he says, isn't where most doctors usually look.
We spoke with Dr. Mitchell for almost an hour. The excerpt below has been edited for length, but the full video interview is available at the end of this page.
