The Aging Well PodcastShow Notes
An Alzheimer's diagnosis changes lives—but it doesn't mean hope is lost. In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong welcomes Dr. Zaldy Tan, neurologist, geriatrician, Director of the Memory & Healthy Aging Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and author of What to Remember When You Are Forgetting. Together, they discuss what individuals and families should know after a diagnosis, the latest advances in Alzheimer's treatment, practical strategies for maintaining quality of life, and how caregivers can support loved ones while caring for themselves. This compassionate conversation offers evidence-based guidance for anyone affected by memory loss and highlights that it is possible to continue living with purpose, dignity, and hope.
