Dementia is No Match for a Daughter’s Determination

Dementia is no match for a daughter’s determination

Lori La Bey talks with Dr. Helena Popovic MD who is an Australian family physician and 10-year care partner for her father who had both Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. She has written two best-selling books about their adventure with dementia, and she teaches health professionals, people living with dementia, and their families about brain health and dementia prevention. 

Dr. Popovic graduated from the University of Sydney, Australia, and her philosophy is that education is more powerful than medication. She believes anyone can boost their brain and grow bolder rather than older.
