In this episode, we talk with Lisa, a woman in her early 70s living with Alzheimer's. Lisa is a patient of Dr. Bergman at Kemper Cognitive Wellness. Lisa is joined in this conversation by her daughters, Stacy and Natalie. We discuss the successes and challenges they have had as a family living with Alzheimer's disease. Lisa shares her thoughts about being diagnosed as well as the hope and results they have had since starting on a journey of living well with Alzheimer's.
This episode is an important listen for anyone with doubts, reservations, or skepticism around a precision, functional medicine approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
