    Diagnosed With Alzheimer’s — Now He’s Fighting Back & Educating Others | Mikke Pierson

    After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, longtime Malibu resident Mikke Pierson made a decision: he wasn’t going to hide from it. He was going to fight back, speak openly, and use his experience to help educate others. In this deeply personal conversation, Mikke opens up about the early signs he initially dismissed, the moment Alzheimer’s became a reality, and the many ways he is now approaching his diagnosis. He shares his personal experience exploring testing, heavy metals and detoxification, lifestyle changes, and different protocols as he searches for ways to support his health and fight the progression of the disease. Mikke also talks about his life in Malibu and something that has become especially important to him since his diagnosis: connection. When life gets difficult, it can be easy to withdraw — but Mikke believes that’s exactly when we need people the most. This is an honest and hopeful conversation about Alzheimer’s, taking action, staying connected, asking questions, and refusing to let a diagnosis define how you live your life.

    DOVE - The Girl 5 Million People Watched “Fly” Through Malibu

    More than 5 million people watched Dove “fly” through Malibu. But almost no one knew who she was. Zoe first spotted Dove roller-skating through an outdoor concert in Malibu, completely in the moment and with a smile that was impossible to miss. She filmed her, posted the video — and it went viral. Then came thousands of comments asking the same question: Who is this girl? So we found her. Dove has no social media. She prefers meeting people in real life and experiencing the moment instead of documenting it. And as Zoe quickly discovers, that’s only the beginning of what makes her different from most young women her age. In this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, we finally meet the mysterious woman behind the viral video. Who is Dove? Where did she come from? And what is it about the way she moves through the world that made millions of people stop scrolling and watch? Confessions at the Cabana — Human stories from the heart and soul of Malibu.
