Why can you remember something from decades ago but forget why you walked into a room? 

In this episode of The Future You, Host and Men’s Health and Women’s Health Editorial Director Richard Dorment is joined by NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and Arjun Masurkar, MD, a cognitive and behavioral neurologist at NYU Langone Health, to explore how memory works, how it changes with age, and when forgetfulness may signal something more serious. 

Terrell reflects on his family’s experience with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and how it shaped his longtime advocacy for Alzheimer’s awareness and research. 

Dr. Masurkar explains how memories are formed, why attention matters, and how normal age-related changes can differ from more concerning symptoms. He also discusses the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and when someone experiencing memory changes should consider speaking with their doctor. 

The conversation also explores ways to support cognitive health over time, including exercise, sleep, blood pressure management, cognitive activity, family history, early evaluation, and advances in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment.
