What’s your favorite comfort food? We bet by asking yourself that question alone, you are already thinking about that phrase in a different light. Lori La Bey talks with Dr. Helena Popovic MD and they discuss how caring for someone can cause people to put on extra pounds due to the additional stressors people are dealing with. They will explore Dr Popovic's new book, NeuroSlimming — Let Your Brain Change Your Body. Dr. Helena Popovic MD an Australian family physician and 10-year care partner for her father who had both Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia.
