This month, our focus starts on Superagers, a group of people who possess the memory capacity of someone 30 years younger than their actual age. What distinguishes them from individuals who age typically? Can brief, one-minute intervals of more strenuous physical activity shield us from cancer? The response to this inquiry might astound you. Lastly, we'll delve into a discovery that has decreased the likelihood of Alzheimer's dementia. You may want to hold onto something weighty while reading about it.

We are moving to our new location this week! Our new address is 10325 N Port Washington Rd, Suite 150, which is just 0.3 miles away from our current location. Our move will take place on September 29th and 30th, so please bear with us if you experience any difficulty reaching us during this period. Our phones will be relocated on Thursday morning.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. It may take us a few weeks to get organized in our new space, but we are excited to have more room and services. As part of our transition, our practice name will be changing to Colab Concierge Physicians.

Dr. Furey is available for appointments and introductory meetings. You can learn more about her by checking out her bio. She is eager to meet you.

We understand that change can be difficult, but we want you to know that we will continue to provide the same personalized care for you and your loved ones. We will be sending out a separate email announcement with more details soon. If you are on our waiting list, we will be in touch with you shortly.

Thank you for your support and loyalty.

Sincerely,

Mark Niedfeldt, M.D.

Or do they have better coping mechanisms to offset memory loss? Perhaps, there's something else at play that distinguishes them from others.
