So When Do I… Start Paying Attention to My Brain Health? With Dr. Deborah Blacker

About this episode

The episode discusses Alzheimer's disease, its progression, and the importance of brain health as we age, featuring insights from Dr. Deborah Blacker.

Alzheimer’s is something so many people are affected by, yet so few truly understand until it touches their own life. In today’s episode, we’re breaking it all down—what it is, how it progresses, and answering the questions so many people have but don’t always know how to ask. We also talk about the quiet anxiety that can come with getting older, including wondering what’s normal, what’s not, and when it’s time to actually get checked. It’s an honest, eye-opening conversation designed to bring clarity, ease uncertainty, and offer a deeper sense of understanding around a topic that impacts so many people. If you'd like to lean more about Alzheimer's, Dr. Blacker recommends you visit the trusted website, www.alz.org, or contact the Alzheimer's Association's 24/7 free hotline at (800) 272-3900.
