Hello. Hi, my name is Sarah Kim and I’m attending Jaisohn Wellness Center. This program gave us tremendous knowledge, foundational knowledge to promote our mental health, through our daily activity, like a transformation of our daily activity in a productive way. And also good nutrition, and practical exercise, everything combines together. So in a way, this BrainSavers program promotes the wholeness of our health and our life. And people are waiting on the waiting list to be in the program.

Left out: the setup about memory loss and forgetting why you walked upstairs, her endorsement of the instructor, about 70 seconds of extended thanks to Dr. Bendheim, Dr. Choy and Esther Clark, and the closing “God bless you, amen.”

“When you’re old, you think that ability is gone. So you don’t try, you don’t even try … but that’s not true, as to what I learned.”
What was kept
0:00 – 0:13Her name, and why she joined — “I was attracted by the title, that I can save my brain”
0:13 – 0:46The mindset change — kids absorb like a sponge, and when you’re old you think that ability is gone, so you don’t try — out on “but that’s not true, as to what I learned”
0:46 – 1:49Straight through to the end — one of the best programs so far, following the exercise, telling family and friends, “I can be young forever”, and her thanks to Mary Ann and Dr. Paul
Full transcript of this cut

Hi, my name’s Joy. I joined this BrainSavers because I was attracted by the title, that I can save my brain. As we get older, we think we cannot do certain things that kids can do. Like they learn different things and absorb it just like a sponge. But when you’re old, you think that ability is gone. So you don’t try, you don’t even try, and, you know, I cannot do that because I’m old. But that’s not true, as to what I learned. I’ve been telling my friend, this is one of the best programs so far. This is newer than anything else, and we should listen and just follow the exercise, and you can keep your joint and all the movement without pain or any discomfort. So this is very, very important for us to learn, and tell my family and friends about this, and I can keep myself young. Just like, you know, my name is Young Mi, that’s my Korean name, so I can be young forever. And I thank you, Mary Ann, for doing this class — very interesting and pleasant, laughing, it’s all good. And Dr. Paul, he’s the genius to make this program. And I thank you, Dr. Paul.

Left out: the brain-cell passage, and the “50 weeks is a lot of commitment” aside.
Both open questions settled.

Mary Ann stays in (Craig, 22 Aug): “keep the Mary Ann comment, because it sets up the Dr. Paul comment.” Sarah’s trainer endorsement stays out. The two cuts are deliberately different and that is not a mistake to fix.

Her opener is restored (Craig, 23 Aug). The earlier cut kept only her name, and the consequence was that she never said “BrainSavers” anywhere — the closest she got was Dr. Paul, while Sarah names the program outright. The opener puts it in her own mouth and adds about 11 seconds. ⚠️ The brain-cell line that follows it — “produce more new cells and also maintain and regenerate” — is a neurogenesis claim and stays out.
