349: When Dementia Changes Appetite: It’s Not Being Picky—It’s Brain Change

Appetite changes in dementia can look completely different from one person to the next—and that’s exactly why this episode matters.

Stay with it for practical, dignity-first ways to notice the why behind eating changes and respond in a way that actually helps.  If you’re experiencing mealtime challenges and you’d like help in sorting through your particular situation, we’re here to support you.
