The Power of Art and Words: A Young Poet's Contribution to Alzheimer's Awareness EP 102

In this episode of Age Better, host Barbara Hannah Grufferman chats with Natalie Kormos, a young poet, who discusses her beautiful book 'Fibres of a Memory' which combines her lyrical words with art created by a woman who had Alzheimer's.   Natalie explains that the book is for everyone and aims to provide comfort and solace to those affected by Alzheimer's, including caregivers and loved ones. She also hopes that the book opens up conversations and encourages others to take on similar projects. The collaboration between Natalie and the patient's artwork is a beautiful example of combining art and words to create a meaningful and impactful book.  In this conversation, Natalie discusses how her work aligns with the latest research on art therapy, which is a powerful took to enhance focus, self-esteem, and social interaction in patients with dementia.   "I hope it opens up conversations where maybe someone was isolated physically or emotionally and they can look at this book and share challenges, emotions, and understanding of the neurobiology of Alzheimer's as well." – Natalie Kormos  LEARN MORE ABOUT ‘FIBRES OF A MEMORY’   LEARN MORE ABOUT AGE BETTER PODCAST  Age Better podcast delves into a diverse range of topics, including finance, work, health, fitness, style, makeup, hair, nutrition, travel, relationships, sex, menopause and more.
