What is Alzheimer's Disease? The Fundamentals Everyone Should Understand


Listen Later

Join Dawn Platt as she kicks off a powerful series for National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, exploring the truth behind a disease that affects nearly 7 million Americans—and counting. This isn't just about forgetting where you put your keys. Discover why a grandmother who can recall her wedding day can't remember how to make her morning tea, learn the critical difference between normal aging and Alzheimer's, and find out why early detection could change everything. Dawn shares real stories of families navigating this journey and reveals the surprising ways music, emotion, and connection can reach parts of the brain untouched by the disease. Whether you're caring for a loved one, noticing changes in yourself, or simply want to understand what millions face daily, this episode offers hope, clarity, and practical guidance. Because even as memories fade, the heart still remembers love.
