    Losing Touch with Reality (with Dr. Alvin Burstein)

    Dementia can lead to a host of cognitive challenges, including disorientation and confusion.

We welcome Dr. Alvin Burstein, a psychiatrist renowned for his work in dementia care and mental health, to help us explore the complex interplay between dementia and delusions.

    Caregiving Through Challenging Relationship Dynamics (with Dr. Sheri L. Yarbrough)

    Becoming a caregiver to someone with dementia isn’t always a smooth, planned process. Sometimes strained dynamics in a care relationship can be difficult to overcome, so we connected with Dr. Sheri L. Yarbrough, a former policy analyst turned family caregiver, to learn more about navigating this. She talks about her experience with her mother and offers her three lessons for caregivers, reminding us that “you may not have a choice in what you are experiencing, but you do have a choice in how you live the experience.”

    Finding Yourself Again After Caregiving (with Charnele Brown)

    When Charnele Brown’s mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, Charnele knew that as an actress, director and producer at the height of her career, she had a decision to make. Choosing to be her mother’s caregiver to ensure her comfort and happiness became her new priority, and like so many other caregivers, it consumed her. After her time caring for her mom, she chose to channel her experience into her play, “For All We Know,” sharing her stories and lessons learned about the journey and herself while ensuring others that they are not alone.

    Exercise Your Way to a Healthy Brain (with Dr. Wendy Suzuki)

    Physical activity not only helps improve mood, increase energy levels, and decrease depression and anxiety, but could it be the most transformative thing you can do for brain health? After feeling the need to add more physical activity in her own life, Dr. Wendy Suzuki, dean of the College of Arts & Science at New York University, became interested in how powerful exercise could be for people with all levels of cognition. We explore the science behind her findings and how her personal experience inspires her to help us make our brains “fat and fluffy,” to stay as cognitively healthy for as long as we can.
