The Incomparable Dr. Ron Petersen on Reducing Your Alzheimer's (or Other Dementia) Risk
Description
Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult talks with the one and only Dr. Ron Petersen of the Mayo Clinic about what we can do -- right now -- to help prevent Alzheimer's or other dementia, especially if we're more likely (due to genetics) to develop the disease.
Petersen weighs in on all the latest research about basic behavioral changes and steps we can take to reduce our risk, while also flagging for all of us what behaviors (and even medications) to avoid.
Dr. Petersen refers to the AARP's Global Council on Brain Health during this conversation. You can learn more about that incredible resource here.
The discerning and loyal listener (thank you so much!) will note this is actually an encore of one of our very first "Hello Alzheimer's" episodes. A recent medical misadventure caused us to postpone the debut of our powerful fall lineup until next week. Still, Dr. Petersen himself delivers a powerful perspective as one of the world's top Alzheimer's experts.
So please enjoy this conversation. And as always, please share, review and reach out with questions about "Hello Alzheimer's." We absolutely appreciate your support.
