• Why the words we use (“dementia” vs. “brain health”) matter
• How to find the right medical team after a diagnosis
• The impact of diet and lifestyle (and the truth about those “pan of brownies!”)
• Empowering patients to be their own best advocates

About our guest: Dr. Monica Crane is a leading expert in geriatric medicine and memory care, dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
