Journalist Katie Couric is sharing a scary medical episode that she experienced on June 27.In a post on Substack titled "The Day I’ll Never Remember," she detailed a sudden episode that left her unable to recall the current month, year and president."I thought it was 2024. And I believed Joe Biden was president," she wrote.ONE WALKING HABIT COULD SIGNAL A HEALTHIER BRAIN AFTER 80, SCIENTISTS SAYThe event occurred while Couric was attending the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado, during which she participated in two public panels — one on AI and one on journalism — both of which she cannot remember at all."I have no idea what we talked about, or of what occurred when the panels ended," she said.John Molner — Couric’s husband, who was in attendance at the festival and the two panels — also shared his account.After the event, someone told Molner that Katie wasn’t feeling well. When he reached her, an EMT and a doctor were tending to her. "I could tell something was off," he wrote. "It could have been altitude sickness, but Katie was definitely not all there."WOMAN WITH ADVANCED ALZHEIMER'S REGAINED SPEECH AND MEMORIES AFTER TAKING MAGIC MUSHROOMSAt the hospital, when Couric struggled to recall the year, the president and her grandchildren’s names, doctors began checking for a stroke.An MRI revealed no signs of stroke, which was a relief, but "Katie’s ‘fog’ became a lot more apparent," Molner wrote."She repeatedly asked me the same questions: ‘What was I doing before we got to the hospital?’ ‘Why am I at the hospital?’"Couric was ultimately diagnosed with transient global amnesia, a sudden, temporary episode of memory loss that prevents a person from forming new memories and may also erase some recent memories, according to Mayo Clinic.It is not caused by a stroke, seizure or head injury, and it usually resolves completely within 24 hours."[It’s] just a very weird neural episode that’s pretty uncommon and, at least in most cases, is a ‘one and done’ experience," Molner said.TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZCouric said she finally began feeling "like herself" again around 9 p.m. and went to sleep at 2 a.m.As TGA leaves a "permanent gap in memory" for the duration of the episode and for hours beforehand, Couric said that from around noon on that day until at least 7 p.m. will remain a "big, black hole."Data shows that approximately three to eight people… [TheTopNews] Read More.6 days ago - One walking habit could signal a healthier brain after 80, scientists sayOlder adults identified as "super movers" are about half as likely to develop cognitive impairment than their peers.That’s according to a recent study led by Stony Brook Medicine in New York, which evaluated the cognitive function of 4,000 adults 80 and over who participated in multiple aging and longevity studies over several years.Among this group, 6% to 10% were classified as super movers, which means they walk at a much faster pace than others of the same age and gender — at speeds comparable to people three decades younger.COMMON VITAMIN MAY INFLUENCE BRAIN AGING IN WAYS SCIENTISTS DIDN'T EXPECTThe super movers were found to have about half the risk of cognitive decline compared to seniors with typical gait speed.The findings were published in the journal Neurology on June 16."The study reinforces that mobility and brain health are closely connected," lead study author Dr. Joe Verghese, MD, neurologist at Stony Brook Medicine, told Fox News Digital.
