Chefology With Chef Clara Ray

Chefology is a mixology of sorts. A recipe containing all the right ingredients, to serve up meaningful conversations, solutions and positive outcomes to some of life's biggest challenges.

In this episode of uncomfortable yet necessary conversations, I'd like to talk about the importance of early detection of Alzheimer's disease. Knowing the myths and facts can empower and facilitate detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) early  and provide an opportunity to begin management that may help preserve existing function as long as possible.

Alzheimer’s disease remains underdiagnosed and underreported. In fact, the average diagnosis is delayed by an average of 2 to 3 years after symptom onset

Talking about end-of-life wishes is one of the most important conversations to have because it’s not actually about dying.

It’s about how we all want to live during our last months, weeks, days, or years. 

And when others know our wishes and  preferences, we can all use our voice one last time from the grave and  die on our own terms.

It turns out that most people believe that talking about end of life is important — not only for themselves, but also for their families.

Knowing this may help you feel more comfortable initiating this topic  and having meaningful conversation about end-of-life wishes.
