Learning in Motion with Christiana Egi

Christiana Egi is a registered nurse, a diabetes educator, a natural health nutritionist, and a dementia advocate. She's also the owner and operator of Alexis Lodge Retirement Residences in Toronto.

In this episode, with host Melanie Taddeo, we learn that dementia can affect anyone. Understanding dementia empowers families to recognize early signs, reducing stigma and securing timely support.

Paired with a commitment to aging gracefully, it encourages viewing growing older not as a decline, but as a dynamic phase of life.

So wherever you're listening to this episode, wherever you're learning in motion, in the car or in public transit, remember Christiana's advice: our own personal health and wellness must always be our priority.
