Dementia General
About Dementia General
Watching memory slip, in yourself or someone you love, is one of the hardest reasons people come to DrTalks. Forgetting names and conversations, a parent who isn't quite themselves anymore, worry about family history, and the strain of caring for someone with dementia are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past memory. Brain health is tied to inflammation, blood sugar, sleep and sleep apnea, your heart and blood vessels, and exposures like mold and heavy metals. You'll find conversations on preventing dementia through daily habits, the heart-brain connection, Montessori-based dementia care, and what families learn from a loved one's diagnosis. Doctors, naturopaths and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from cognitive testing and brain imaging to sleep studies, and what helps, from ketogenic eating and regular movement to better sleep, mindfulness and staying socially connected.
