Caregiver Storyteller - About Alzheimer's and Dementia Caregiving

Should You Know Your Risk: Alzheimer’s in Our DNA


Listen Later

What would you do if you could know your genetic risk for Alzheimer’s? In this intimate episode, we go beyond science to the heart of a family navigating the impact of a genetic marker known as ApoE4. Michael Pollack, living with Alzheimer’s, joins his daughters Ava and Lucy for a powerful conversation about diagnosis, legacy, and the profoundly personal choices surrounding genetic testing.


We explore:

  • What ApoE4 is and why it matters
  • How families weigh the emotional impact of genetic risk
  • Michael’s journey and the wisdom he shares with others
  • Ava and Lucy’s candid reflections on fear, hope, and the future


This is not just a medical episode; it’s a conversation about courage, connection, and caregiving.


Listen now and join the dialogue.
