Cutting Edge Health: Preventing Cognitive Decline
by Jane Rogers
Welcome to the Cutting Edge Health Podcast. I‘m Jane Rogers. My plan in starting this podcast is to create a community empowered to prevent Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline. Yes, the latest research shows it can be prevented when caught early and we’ll talk with the medical experts who can help you do that. This is personal. My mother is in memory care. My father passed with AZ. I started experiencing memory issues, visible to those close to me, six years ago in my mid-50’s. With the right interventions I’m thriving today. It helps to think of preventing a neurodegenerative disease in baseball terms. Most interventions are base hits. They’re pretty small changes in your lifestyle, but eventually one by one they all add up to a big win. I want you or a loved one to have this big win for your brain! The key to making a difference in your brain health is keeping at it and asking the right questions.Upcoming episodes will cover: tackling pre-diabetes, getting inflammation down, ra
