Episode 20: Dementia, Cognitive Decline, And How To Keep Your Brain Sharp As You Age

Did you know that Alzheimer's is the 6th leading cause of death in America? Did you know that 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia? Did you know that 88% of all cognitive decline is preventable? They say to think positive, live a healthy lifestyle, eat lots of fish that might help keep your brain sharp. But what if you start to notice trouble with your memory? What if you find out a relative has early onset dementia? When does it become more than just age and normal aging? What are the symptoms that indicate something might be wrong with your brain? And what if there is something wrong but no one realizes. How do we stop the progression?  When most people think of cognitive decline, they think of Alzheimer's or dementia- and it's true, those are scary conditions. But the fact is anyone of us can experience cognitive decline, and if you're worried about it then you're not alone. For our growing audience, we thought it would be useful to discuss Dementia and cognitive decline, a topic which frequently comes up for Dr. Thom with his  patients. In fact, with Dr. Thom's experience working with thousands of patients, he has met hundreds of people that face a daily struggle to retain memories and regain old skills as they age. This podcast was created to help you by sharing practical ways to maintain a sharp brain. In this podcast, we discuss the latest science about how your brain works, the warning signs and things you can do to help keep it actively functioning as you age. We look forward to connecting with you.
