Design Your Life, Your Way - Strategic Growth for the Conscious Midlife Entrepreneur
When you get into your 60s, forgetting someone’s name isn’t easy to laugh off anymore. It often brings up real fears of losing your mind due to Alzheimer’s. That’s why I’m happy to share this conversation with a dementia expert who explains the difference between normal aging and real cognitive decline.
Behavioral specialist Lisa Skinner reveals the surprising list of treatable conditions that often get misdiagnosed as dementia. We also talk about what the newest research actually says about reducing your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, why learning a new language or instrument genuinely protects your brain, and how to support a loved one who’s struggling with compassion instead of correction. This is a conversation about healing in midlife and how to trade vague fear for real information, and real information for peace of mind.
