Liana Levy, 33, counts backwards from ten as I move my feet in slow circles in a cozy pool house in Holmby Hills. “Think happy thoughts,” she said, as my muscles trembled as I performed deceptively simple movements on her Pilates reformer. Her distinctive California voice drifts over a Bad Bunny-heavy playlist. She has a jet black tan in January and wears dainty gold jewelry. Her sweatshirt is emblazoned with the logo of her athleisure brand Sporty & Rich, and looks like it was custom-made just for her. Beneath that are her signature washboard abs. We’re talking about Marvel movies,…

Isn’t it strange how, as we go through life, we lose sight of the special things that stay with us – the people, the places, and all the things that help shape us?

1. Introduction Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional state between normal aging and dementia, characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss in some patients (Tangalos and Petersen, 2018). The prevalence of MCI in adults over 60 years of age is approximately 6.7 to 25.2% (Jongsiriyanyong and Limpawattana, 2018) and increases with age.
