  • Great for Lay People, Too!

    These podcasts are marvelous. While they are made for medical professionals, as a lay person who is caring for a parent with dementia, I find them informative, compassionate, and accessible. The person-centered approach has been most helpful for me as I walk this journey as a caregiver. Many thanks to Hilton, Steph, and Marita (and I hope you’ll excuse my familiarity in using your first names: I feel a sort of friendship with your from your down-to-earth approach.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S5 Ep 4 Beyond Alzheimer's disease Dementias
Q: When should a specialist referral be considered in a suspected dementia case?
Referral should be considered when there are atypical features, pronounced behavioral changes, movement disorders, or if there are abnormal neurological signs; psychogeriatricians or geriatricians are preferred depending on local availability, and collaboration with neuropsychology can be helpful.
S5 Ep 6 Untangling the alphabet: ADHD, ASD, PTSD and THC’s impact on cognition
Q: If you had one key takeaway for GPs, what would it be about managing ADHD, autism, and PTSD in the context of dementia risk?
The big message is optimism about delaying or preventing dementia through attention to modifiable risk factors and early, proper treatment, while recognizing that neurodivergent patients may have different testing needs and risk profiles that should be addressed with tailored care.
S4, Ep 5 - Raising the Profile of Dementia in At Risk Groups
Q: Can you explain the relationship between Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease?
People with Down syndrome are at a significantly higher risk for developing Alzheimer's disease at an earlier age due to genetic factors.
S4, Ep-3 - Modifiable Risk Factors for Dementia
Q: What can we do to modify these risk factors in clinical practice?
We can educate patients about the importance of managing their health related to cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, and promoting physical activity.
S3, EP-7 Menopause, Brain Fog and Dementia
Q: How many women get through the transition and return to their normal cognitive baseline?
Most women adapt to the changes in brain function during menopause, with brain fog typically resolving in post-menopausal years; however, adjustments can be challenging for some who leave the workforce.
