🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 In today’s video, I’m sharing a groundbreaking study that could change how we identify dementia risk YEARS before any symptoms show up! 🤯 This quick, non-invasive test might be the key to detecting dementia risk up to 12 years earlier. Yep, you read that right—12 years! 

Why does this matter? Because early detection means earlier intervention, better treatment options, and more time to plan ahead for you and your loved ones. Whether you’re concerned about your own brain health or someone you care about, this information is a must-know.

👏 In this episode, I’ll break down:

-The simple visual test that researchers are using to predict dementia risk

-What signs to look for in everyday life that could indicate a decline in visual processing speed

-How this research could revolutionize early detection and care for dementia

While this test alone isn’t a diagnosis, it’s a major step forward in identifying high-risk individuals and getting the help they need faster. Don't wait—earlier detection means better care!

It IS possible to reduce your risk for dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, lewy body dementia, etc. A 2021 study based out of Japan showed that older adults who had emotional loneliness were 60% more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease within 5 years compared to those who were not lonely. They asked 3 specific questions to determine if someone was emotionally lonely and a yes answer to any of the 3 items meant the person was emotionally lonely and at risk. This is one of many studies to show that how you live your life really does impact your risk for dementia.

What were your answers to the 3 questions? ,

Most people who care for someone with dementia like Alzheimer’s disease never think about this when they think about dementia care planning- how do YOU want to show up in caregiving. We sometimes just wait to see what the person with dementia does, or how the day unfolds to decide how we want to respond or how we will show up.

Instead, you can decide on the type of person you want to be in caregiving and then work on showing up as that person during your caregiving journey. No, it’s not easy - but the way things are going right now also isn’t easy. This way gives you the opportunity to grow. The choice is yours.

Just because you’re caregiving doesn’t mean you can’t keep growing and improving.

The questions I ask in this video aren't for everyone, it’s for the caregiver who wants 2023 to be a different experience than 2022 and who wants to keep the power they have in life situations.
