From Diagnosis to Hope: A Specialist’s Perspective on Memory Loss (feat. Dr. Monica Crane) — Part 1 of 2

Living Our Best With Memory Loss (Season 4)

In the first of a special two-part series, Dr. Monica Crane joins hosts Bob, Denis, and SuAnne (who are living with cognitive decline) to discuss the evolving landscape of brain health—from early diagnosis to practical lifestyle changes that can help preserve memory.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The clinical definition of memory loss vs. normal aging
  • 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.
