The Lucky Few

316. Diving Deeper: Alzheimer's Disease Prevalence and Treatment, w/Kandi Pickard


Listen Later

Last week we had an important conversation with Dr. Michael Rafii all about the link between DS and Alzheimer’s disease. If you’re still processing everything you learned from that interview, that’s okay. Sit down with the three of us + our good friend Kandi Pickard (CEO of the National DS Society) and we’ll talk through it together!

  • How do we confront medical discrimination?

  • Where can we get involved in research?

  • What does it mean that the NDSS has merged with LuMind? (hint: its a great thing for Alzheimer’s research!)

  • We know this isn’t an easy topic but this episode is full of hope. Remember, there are medical experts (like Dr. Rafii) and organizations (like NDSS) doing all that they can to improve the future for your loved one with Down syndrome.
