Aging with Intention: A Couple’s Journey Toward Cognitive Longevity
Tom Freitag is a retired aerospace engineer who applied his problem-solving mindset to protecting his cognitive health after noticing early changes and facing a family history of Alzheimer’s disease. Alongside his wife, Betty—a nurse, mother, and longtime child advocate—the couple built a comprehensive, team-based approach to brain health that includes lifestyle interventions, cognitive training, medical testing, and ongoing accountability. Together, they model what proactive, intentional aging can look like when curiosity, partnership, and persistence guide the process.
