Sharper Than Ever at 81

Trish Britton is a full-time middle school teacher who just celebrated her 81st birthday.  

As a former corporate attorney who left retirement to teach 7th graders, Trish begins every day at 4:30 am. Energy, focus and mental clarity is essential to taking on a room full of middle schoolers.

Maintaining mental clarity is personal for Trish; dementia affected her mother and aunt, so she began proactively monitoring her cognitive performance years ago using Lumosity, an online brain-training platform. When her scores began to decline, she decided to take a proactive step.

This summer, she began taking CogniSHIELD™, a brain health supplement developed in collaboration with our Scientific Co-Founder and Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Rudolph (Rudy) Tanzi.

“Within three months, I saw my Lumosity scores climb back to 98,” Trish said. “I feel sharper than ever. I think of it as putting money in the bank for my brain.”

Dr. Tanzi’s research accomplishments in brain health have revolutionized understanding of age-related cognitive decline. CogniSHIELD builds on this understanding as well as a decade of testing 3,500 natural products to identify the ones with the greatest potential impact on brain health. CogniSHIELD contains a unique combination of four main ingredients — Fisetin, Ipriflavone, Quercetin and Urolithin A — and doses selected in Dr. Tanzi’s lab to act synergistically in support of brain health.

For Trish, the benefits go beyond sharper thinking. “I feel more energetic than I have in years,” she says. “That energy has given me confidence to do things that I wouldn’t have done last year like take the train to visit my kids and grandkids. Last year, my grandson came with me, but this year, I’m doing it myself!”
