Drop in the Bucket podcast is all about aging on your terms. We cover all of the things on your bucketlist and the things that have dropped into your bucket.

In this conversation, Lisa talks to Dr. Kim Baker of KB Psychology, a business that provides supportive psychotherapy for older adults in long-term care, family therapy for the families of loved ones in long-term care, and training for staff on dementia and cognitive impairment.

Kim Baker discusses some of the common fears that her clients have about growing old. She also discusses the risks of developing dementia and how lifestyle changes can help reduce that risk.
